    Am I just stupid? They reference this study then go into the origins of life on earth and completely ignore mentioning the study again. What the fuck is this article?

    Ah, I see it now. What a surprise, absolutely nothing has changed besides what we think will happen when the sun collapses into a white dwarf.

    Sensational clickbait trash.

    Even if it was balanced wouldn’t the orbits of the planets eventually decay anyways?

      Oh yeah, everything will succumb to entropy one way or another

    No way! The Universe will one day not exist anymore? That’s sick bro, you should tell some astrophysicists, they’d be shocked!

    Our sun is expected to become a red giant in 5 billion years, so that should help.

      It’s like my doctors say about various chronic conditions I have: “Don’t worry, something else will get you before this becomes a major problem.”

    Obviously though? Like that’s entropy, it’s fundamentally built in.
