Nice try sunny, but we’re on track to offing ourselves way before that.
But ironically, the main way we’re trying is by ruining our planet’s ability to protect us from the Sun.
…other than nuclear war.
We’ll be gone a long time before that.
A bitchy trampoline might invite some ultra wealthy aliens to watch it burn, though.
Is that a doctor who reference?
We’ll have a Dyson Sphere that’s able to retrieve all of the energy of the supernova. The energy will be used in an hour to mine some crypto.
Joke’s on you, Sun. We can just leave. Or maybe even fix you.
(So many doomer “we’ll kill ourselves first” responses in this thread. How science of everyone.)
How science of everyone
For 50 years, science has been telling us that we’re well and truly fucked if we don’t do something about climate change. We didn’t. I don’t think the species is gonna die out (thought millions of other species will and are). You’re talking like we’re gonna be building a Dyson sphere (or swarm) in the next 20 years? Or colonize outer planets? It’s science fiction…at least for next few 100 years. We can’t rely on a deus ex machina save…we gotta take care of the planet we evolved to live on…if we aren’t strong enough for that, I don’t think we’re getting anywhere near K-II.

Hardly. We have plenty of time for that, there’s no rush.

Again, a few hundred years is nothing. The sun won’t become problematic for a few hundred million years.
We can’t rely on a deus ex machina save.
Things like Dyson swarms and star lifting are not “deus ex machina”, they’re scientifically rigorous proposals.
if we aren’t strong enough for that, I don’t think we’re getting anywhere near K-II.
Getting to K-II means not needing the planet we evolved to live on.
