      Impossible to say! Definitely by the time the Sun turns into a red giant in 5 billion years’ time – its outer layers will expand and consume Mercury, Venus and the Earth. But I presume at least some life on Earth will have figured out how to leave the solar system by then!

      In whole the world, not just on earth, there “may” always be life as there is now after consecutive big bangs in long periods of time. On earth, after billions (if not millions) of years (when huge meteor hits earth, or sun turns into a “red giant” star), if we get on well with each other and with the nature meanwhile

      (warmongers, gas producing corporations, we mean you!)
