Scientists have used supercomputers to predict that life on Earth will become impossible by the year 1,000,002,021 due to the sun's increasing heat. The research, conducted by NASA and Tōhō University, forecasts that the sun's growing brightness will raise global temperatures and deplete oxygen, leading to mass extinction. The sun will also enter its red giant phase in about five billion years. Elon Musk has long warned of this eventual destruction, advocating for Mars colonization as "life insurance." The study, published in Nature Geoscience, supports Musk's concerns about the long-term viability of life on Earth.
