Cafe Scientifique: The ultimate fate of the Earth? January 20, 2009

Robert Smith

“In 7,590 million years, the Sun will have evolved to become a red giant star, whose radius will be comparable to the current radius of the Earth's orbit around the Sun: I shall discuss what that will do to our Earth. The Earth will actually be too hot for habitation much sooner than that - but still some 1,000 million years into the future from purely astronomical considerations. We shall also look at some of the problems that humanity needs to overcome to survive for even 1,000 centuries.”

7:30 for 8pm start.

Meetings are FREE (although a contribution to expenses is appreciated)
