How and When the World Will End

Scientists have predicted how and when the world will end. The sun will slowly turn into a red giant and push the Earth farther out into space. The Earth will be snagged by the sun's outer atmosphere and plunged into the fiery stellar furnace. Put in other words, the Earth will fall into the sun. "The drag of this low-density gas will is enough to cause the Earth to drift inwards, and finally to be captured and vaporized by the sun,"explains astronomer Robert Smith. However, the good news is that the world won't come to an end for another 7.6 billion years. The bad news is that life on Earth will end way before then. Astronomer Robert Smith explains that there is a way future descendants can save themselves. He explains that a recent study cities that taming an asteroid to swing by Earth every few thousand years, can nudge the Earth into a higher solar orbit. Being in a higher solar orbit will be enough to outstep the sun's own outward growth. I believe that if future descendants can cause an asteroid to nudge Earth into a higher orbit, the Earth won't come to an end for a longer amount of time.
