What should we do if the sun is dying and will be dead dead in houndreds years?

1. Colonize Mars?
2. Colonize outer planets' satellites? Astroids? Generation Astroids/Planets Starsgips?
3. Protect our environment?
4. Build more solar pannels. wind turbines and satellites solar pannels?
5. Cut off all the resource wasting on green energy and focus our resource on Fusion.
6. You name it.

Our sun will be dead, but not in our life time. I just want to bring it forward to ridicule the green people.
We have been moving all the time and the next step is to move out of the earth.

Why move to a colder zone? Or do you mean the sun would be doing the red giant thing?

If the sun goes the magnetosphere would fail as well and a great many other things that protect this planet would be gone.

if the sun is dying what is the point of colonizing our own solar system ? We would have to venture into another solar system.

The original post posits the same type of idiocy that plagues real science constantly. At least it isn't the completely nonsensical "what if there was no electricity?" The answer to that one is "You would die immediately and the universe would come to an end." The life cycle of stars in the class of the sun doesn't work the way the OP suggests. Period.

The proper answer to such asinine speculation is that we would immediately use our time machines to go into the past and fix the problem.

What is the fact?
What is the truth?
The instance we exist, we are dying. Truth? Fact? Idiocy? Fake Science? Real Science?
The instance the sun exists, the sun is dying. Truth? Fact? Idiocy? Fake Science? Real Science?
The instance the earth exists, the earth is dying. Truth? Fact? Idiocy? Fake Science? Real Science?

Currently, we do not know the universe is dying or not?
Currently, we do not know we can exist outside the universe or not?
Currently, we do not know we can manipulate time or not?

So, who is lying with fake science?

All we can say for a certainty is that the Universe is changing. In fact, most of what we see of it is not what it is, today.
If the entire galaxy collapsed, it would be a few years before we even found out about it.
All that we can have an effect on these days is what we have here on Earth, and we have finally awakened to the idea that we are creating a mess of things. We need to begin working on long-term plans for sustainable human habitation if we plan to be around for much longer.
Will any of it matter in a hundred years? A thousand? Dunno. Just have to wait and find out.

And worrying about external influences from the rest of the universe is really a waste of all out time.

SMASH MOUTH LYRICS - Walkin' On The Sun

It ain't no joke I'd like to buy the world a toke
And teach the world to sing in perfect harmony
And teach the world to snuff the fires and the liars
Hey I know it's just a song but it's spice for the recipe
This is a love attack I know it went out but it's back.
It's just like any fad it retracts before impact
And just like fashion it's a passion for the with it and hip
If you got the goods they'll come and buy it just to stay in the clique

[Chorus:]
So don't delay act now supplies are running out
Allow if you're still alive six to eight years to arrive
And if you follow there may be a tomorrow
But if the offer's shunned you might as well be walkin' on the sun

Twenty-five years ago they spoke out and they broke out
Of recession and oppression and together they toked
And they folked out with guitars around a bonfire
Just singin' and clappin' man what the hell happened
Then some were spellbound some were hellbound
Some they fell down and some got back up and
Fought back 'gainst the melt down
And their kids were hippie chicks all hypocrites
Because fashion is smashin' the true meaning of it

So don't delay act now supplies are running out
Allow if you're still alive six to eight years to arrive
And if you follow there may be a tomorrow
But if the offer's shunned you might as well be walkin' on the sun

It ain't no joke when a mama's handkerchief is soaked
With her tears because her baby's life has been revoked
The bond is broke up so choke up and focus on the close up
Mr. Wizard can't perform no godlike hocus-pocus
So don't sit back kick back and watch the world get bushwhacked
News at 10:00 your neighborhood is under attack
Put away the crack before the crack puts you away
You need to be there when your baby's old enough to relate

So don't delay act now supplies are running out
Allow if you're still alive six to eight years to arrive
And if you follow there may be a tomorrow
But if the offer's shunned you might as well be walkin' on the sun

You might as well be walkin' on the sun
You might as well be walkin' on the sun
You might as well be walkin' on the sun
You might as well be walkin' on the sun


Thanks to Alex Mathes, Justin, Tony DeCarolis for correcting these lyrics.

Jefferson Starship "Hyperdrive"

I never thought there were corners in time
'Til I was told to stand in one.
One straight line head on into the other,
Maybe standing in a corner looks like where it's got to go

But I pretend one wall is the past and one is the future
And I stand here like the present, looking for a good place to run
Now every fish that swims upstream, now that's a catch
Because the full mouth never wants to stop cooking

The map may be flat, and the globe may be patched
But the long line keeps right on hooking
Circles in the ring of fire, where do you go
On a night that is clear and warm, oh
Where do you go?

I never thought there were corners in time
'Til I was told to stand in one
I've heard circles moving right through corners
And they don't even know they've been around and around
And around before

Ringing, ringing against each other on a singing chain
Like a flying magnet, hyperdrive has never seen any reason
To remain the same

Because I felt it, I believe it
There are things I've never seen that I believe
So I'm gonna place my face right in the triangle door
Till I can move right on through instead of just standing here
Looking at the floor

And it rains again tonight, I can think light years ahead
Or I can put myself back a thousand years ago
As if I'd always been here before or as if I am still to be born
I'm a slow loser, but I'm a fast learner that much I know

Anyone can go that much I know
Anyone can go

Songwriters
Pete Sears;Grace Slick
