End of Our Sun
Thursday 20th of November 2008
In about 5 billion years from now, our sun, the closest star from earth, will end its life. Right now, it’s on 1/3 of its life expectancy. If we were to put the birth of our sun at 6a.m, and its death at 6p.m, we would now be at 11.30a.m. We get up every morning and experience the wonderful light from our sun. We take our medium sized star for granted and usually don’t take the time to think about its importance.
Our sun is created about 4.5 billion years ago. That’s also about the time earth is created.
I even took the time to draw this
As you can see, human history is just very recent compared to the earth’s age. The approximation is about 20k years ago when human first started to appear on earth. How did human appear? The so called evolution theory says humans evolved from apes. Well, for muslims, we should know better.
Earth is very very old. Human history is only few thousand years, which is really nothing compared to figures such as 5 billion years. It’s really just like a blink of an eye. Let’s say that earth is 1 minute. That means human history is just under 1 second. That’s not very long!
Anyway, that’s the story about our sun. But with recent global warming and greenhouse effect, I would say human race will long gone before the sun dies out. I really don’t know for sure, anything can happen. There’s also this crazy science fiction theory of colonizing to a different planet to save the human race. We will talk about that in a later post.
