When, in a distant future, the Sun begins to expand and evolves into a "giant" star, the surface temperature on the Earth will rise dramatically and our home planet will eventually be incinerated by that central body.
Fortunately for us, this dramatic event is several billion years away. However, that sad fate will befall another planet, just discovered in orbit about the giant star HD 47536, already within a few tens of millions of years. At a distance of nearly 400 light-years from us, it is the second-remotest planetary system discovered to datethat'll be several billion years to come before its our sun's turn. here's whats gonna happen after our sun become a red giant. thats where we have to evacuate earth to live in Neptune.
as you all know, our sun fuse hydrogen to helium. fusing them at a rate of 20 trillion tons per second. such stays could only last 10 million years. after the fusion and the depletion of hydrogen atoms in the core, thats it. the countdown to the explosion begins. this isn't Hiroshima atomic tragedy.
`one million years to blast off
the gravitational collapse in the core of the sun pushes temperatures to about 170 million degrees or more. thats where helium atoms fuse to form carbon and oxygen.
`one thousand years to go
once the helium in the inner shell of the core is used up, the core begins to contract again, fusing carbon to neon and magnesium.
`7 years left
the temperature reaches 1.5 billion degrees in the stella core. neon then fuses to form more oxygen and magnesium. thats where we have to evacuate Neptune. our last habitable planet in our solar system.
`1 year to go
temperatures in the collapsing core top 2 billion degrees! compressed oxygen atom fused to form silicon and sulfur.
`a few days to a month
at 3 billion degrees fusion in the core, silicon and sulfur fuse to form compressed ball of iron. this is the last of all reaction that can take place
`1/10 a second left
at 45000 miles per second, the iron core crushes on itself just like earth packing into a ball 10 miles across! they call it the "maximum scrunch"
`explosion begins
the explosive shock wave blast through the layers of the sun, creating heavy elements as it goes. spewing out neutrinos trapped in the core. and that, a supernova.

alright this is it. looks like she's gonna be off for a few days. and yeh of course. me and the other stompers would miss her for sure. looks like we're so much closer in the forum so much so that we couldn't help seeing anyone off. as usual, tomorrow's gonna be math day. get bombarded with amaths sums. just gotta be another tiring day. just gotta miss bibi for a few days. she'll be back! =D

i met her from the last gathering. and that was then i developed feelings for her. i thought my job was to make her forget her past. but i was wrong. i, instead had a crush on her. should i express it to her or just to keep it within and wait till the time is right? but all i know, she won't be long here. i'll just wait for her
well today has been going fine for me. just that i missed the nyp open house with heli peisheng and ask. aww crap. was supposed to play a game of pool with them. i overslept! darn. lols but anyway. hope i'll be able to hook up with them sooner or later. need to distress a little. still hadn't had the time to drop by sim lim square to buy my this month upgrades for my pc. its been 4 months old and it needs serious upgrades. getting dusty and stuff. alright that should be it for the day.

currently the most ideal planet to live in is earth out of the 9 planets. and our sun is still young. have you guys ever thought what if 7 million years down the road our sun becomes a supergiant? a supermassive sun where earth is no longer an ideal place to live in? i actually did a research an the possible planet to live in after 7 million years would be Neptune. its the last planet in our solar system. a supergiant only last for a few million years before it explodes as a supernova. is that the destruction of mankind or will we humans live that long? life will have to find a new home. its a fact and something we should think about. this is reality. just imagine life after earth...

Just 2 days back, decided to try on contact lenses. Got a monthly Acuvue lens. As usual had to go through those tuts on how to wear and stuff. took me a bloody 15 mins just to put on a pair of them on my eyes. The feeling reminds me of the movie saw where a guy had to dig his right eye to get the key unlock himself. hell of a saw i should say. getting used to it as the days go by.
