Hypothetical question

I think that would be a rhetorical question.

Thanks for clearing that up, Donut.

sorry to spoil your idea but our sun isn't big enough to become a supernova or even i nova i think. its gonna get bigger in a few hundred million years the blow off the outer layers of it leaving a white dwarf and a planetairy nebula. supposidly (scientists aren't always right ya know) [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Eh? Where did you get that number from? The actual calculated lifetime of the sun is another 5 billion years IIRC.

Try more like 6.5 billion years.
Here is some good info on the sun.

well... i got my source from a radio... but who knows anyway? [img]smile.gif[/img]

whether the sun can dish out a nova or not, the earth will surely be hit by its implosion.

To believe in the need for a second coming, or even a first coming, is to believe that somehow the Divine is separate and disconnected from the universe.

The Divine is within you and all around you.

I thank the God and Goddess every day for that blessing.
