Ahwell, nothing we should concern ourselves with in this lifetime.
Anyway, once the Universe has spread as far as possible, there's a theory that it will retract again?
Everything reverses back into it's original form before the Big Bang. And then it happens all over again. Some believe this is why we have Deja Vu, because we have seen this life before multiple times.

What I meant was our solar system still considered young, the construction work still on going. Fragments of building material constantly recalibrating for optimal flight path which eventual coerce by gravitational pull if not massive Jupiter then by smaller planet like the one we live in. Earth.
I hardly read long articles/ books. I forgo long winding speech, opted for more segregated infos here & there, gather digest em to nearest logic.

Anyone seen that Danny Boyle film 'Sunshine' ? I really enjoyed it as it has some plausability.
Not a patch on 'Even Horizon' though.
"Sunshine" was that an attempt to regenerate the sun or something?Rather akin to Ray Bradbury's "Golden apples of the sun".And "Wolfbane" by Frederick Pohl/C.M.Kornbluth - great novel,should've been made into a movie.
The solar system is rapidly approaching middle age,the sun appears to be relatively stable.There is a growing need to establish Arthur C. Clarke's concept of Project Safeguard regarding wandering cosmic debris.We've been dead lucky so far. If we can get our sheeit together on Earth we should expand our celestial horizons,especially if you've got the incentive of a major catastrophe to deal with which would prompt a move.There was a prog on satellite addressing such a scenario which gave us 200 years before a wandering Neutron Star wiped out Earth and the system.Could happen,but the science was badly handled.

That's the one Blob. Little bit of Mysticism too.
We need Nigel Sheldon and Ozzie Isaacs to invent the 'Wormhole'

Wormholes have been established in labs on the sub-atomic level I believe,but only very short term.Trouble is they're like radio inasmuch as you need a transmitter and a receiver,you have to get a receiver to the desired point and then fire 'er up.I love the concept of instantaneous travel,inspired by works like "The Big Front Yard" by Clifford D Simak and Damon Knight's "Ticket To Anywhere"

I'm waiting for the new Peter Hamilton to go Paperback.
"In AD 2142, where portal technology allows instantaneous travel to other planets, Newcastle police detective Sydney Hurst heads a high-tech investigation of the disturbing murder of a clone of the the wealthy North family. Hurst has the added challenge of the politics and media associated with the high profile murder, as well as the opaque mystery itself. The body shows the same wounds as that of Bartram North, murdered twenty years ago on the tropical planet St Libra. The bio-fuel that flows from St Libra is a mainstay of Earth's economy and so powerful vested interests are watching over Hurst's shoulder."

That sounds good.

Ahaaaaaaaaa...... I've just ruined Scotty'senjoyment of "The Prestige" by Christopher Priest.The only way this magician could perform this particular trick was to use a teleportation device,Blob suggested,and when Tesla was mentioned 'twas a dead giveaway.Being right did nothing to diminish the pained silence which followed.....

Thought the Earth was relatively safe? Watch this and you will be astounded. My recommendation is to make it full screen and listen to something good and threatening like Angel by Massive Attack.

We're bombarded on a daily basis.Good job we've got some gas giants in the system that act like celestial goalies and stop the really big muthas.But knowing our luck one day Jupiter will decide to be Robert Green.
Those books a mere fictional, rudimentary flask in a bust.
On the other hand Asteroids are real, kept creeping towards Earth orbital plunge. It is happening even now... Only matter left is, where will you be when the sky turns red?
Scary huh.
one might pray cognizantly for divine intervention & help ban such magnanimous altercation away from our sacred celestial bodies.
