Predict the future

Someday the sun will become a red giant and destroy earth along with us, although I'm pretty sure we'll all be dead long before then. What kind of new life do you think will come out of the destruction of our solar system? Do you think the new life forms will resemble us humans? Won't they be just as primitive as we were? Has this happened to life forms before us humans came along? If so isn't this just an endless cycle? Feel free to correct me if you think I got something wrong I was just really bored and started thinking about this, and wanted to know what you guys thought about this?

I'm asking you guys to predict the future. I wasn't doing it I was, like you said stating a fact.

No, they don't.

You're thinking of transition from red giant to white dwarf.

Before the earth becomes a red giant, its outerlayers would have expanded , thus making the sun larger. The outer layer would eventually get blown off into space. When this happens, earth would be nothing more than a giant , hot rock, much like mercury.[/quote]

Except the outer layers don't get "blown off."

I predict that tomorrow most of you will live, if not all of you. Does that count? o.o

Yes, but how do you exist if I don't exist?

It's good that you're wondering about this.

Some people believe that there are unlimited number of 3rd dimensional spaces in a higher dimensional membrane; we simply live in one of these 3-d planes. In the M-theory philosophy, it is very possible that everything you said and imagined already happened to many other parallel versions of ourselves, and it's also possible that it will happen again. Everything that can happen, has already happened, and will happen again.
