Of course, all this is inductive reasoning, which is a big no-no for Popper
followers. :)

It is highly unlikely that humanity will last to see the sun going into

out the dinosaurs is much more likely to happen before that. If we did last
5 billions of years by some miracle, that is plenty of time to master space
travel and move to another solar system.
O.K.

modulo the standard junk of falsificationist propaganda, that the sun will
go into the H state (for hydrogen) and in the process essentially burn this
planet (this= earth, the one you were sitting on reading this msg) the sun
is expected to terminate its hydrogen in 5.3~5.5 (billions of years). is
there any writing, that some of you know, not of a universe of fictional
world which has no humans (but the venusians, martians, the cyborg clones
etc.) and has inorganic chemicals? if anybody can find examples, I can
explain why I find it interesting, if others find it interesting. best
