Not that's it going to happen anytime soon. Maybe 400,000 years in the future. Assuming anyone on earth is still left around…

I'm still going to be around then, I don't know about the rest of you.

…between 240,000 and 470,000 years from now…

That's the best estimate he can come up with? I thought that today's computers were kind of precise.

I'm planning on being here. I'm this old and still going strong! So far, so good!

I'm sure that Michael Bay can get that down to four years or so.

Well, the range depends on how hard the star tries to dodge.

I cant read the link, but 400.000 years sounds as a mistake… too

I've got loads of minis to paint! I must hurry up!!!

Instead of a disaster maybe we should look at this as an opportunity.

Whole lot of building material inside a star.

"The White House announced that the United States had finally achieved Energy Independence at 9:35 Eastern Standard Time when the Red Dwarf Star Gliese 710 landed 30 miles east of Denver Colorado.

The 4.7 Terrawatts of continuous energy release per US Citizen should provide for all home heating and lighting needs for the forseable future."
