Far Future Earth Could Get Flung Out Into the Oort Cloud

[@lightyagami3492]

9:25 This last part gave me chills. Imagine being one person a part of some random hunter and gather tribe and suddenly you see this bright flash in the night sky.

[@ironhead2008]

Or a Neanderthal hunter looking up on a cold clear night in Paleolithic seeing this bright red-orange star that moves suspiciously quickly compared to the rest and suddenly brightens from time to time.

[@christmascat8076]

I would love to time travel just to see that moment in time ❤

It boggles my mind to think that there could be any number of red dwarves nearby that are too dim to see, or that one or more "mystery" planets could be lurking in the outer reaches of the solar system...which in and of itself is massive.

[@oberonpanopticon]

There probably aren’t any red/brown dwarves closer than Proxima. Well, maybe the very smallest kind of brown dwarf could’ve slipped under the radar. And there’s nothing the size of Jupiter within 25,000 AU

[@chippysteve4524]

Perhaps a new explanation for why stars twinkle - red giant star systems passing in between like travelling through a forest in the sunshine..

[@EnneaIsInterested]

Yeah, once we have an off-world industrial base and working magnetic confinement fusion, we will be able to settle all those locations, so much potential.

I really do wonder if a destabilized Mercury impacting Venus could be managed "Just so" to recreate the giant impact which built our moon. The masses are roughly equivalent, although the composition would be higher iron content. I wonder if anyone has ever run simulations on that?

[@oberonpanopticon]

It’s not technically impossible, maybe™️

[@CoryDinsmore-t2u]

No genius you're the first to ever think of it.

[@johnassal5838]

It'd be a bit of a waste unless Venus was somehow pushed far enough to keep that moon, avoid becoming tidally locked into a harmonic orbit with a day longer than it's year and without any appreciable magnetic field like it is now. Being so much closer to the Sun does mean it would have to be a bit warmer but the only reason there's no place on its surface remotely livable is due to the runaway greenhouse effect not proximity to the Suns light and heat. Being unable to rotate quickly or maintain a dynamo in its core collapsed it's magnetic field exposing all the lighter elements of its atmosphere to the naked solar wind. This took it from warmer than Earth to hot enough to boil away all the lakes, rivers and seas. Without seas to reflect light and heat it went from boiling hot to broiling like a giant turkey dinner. After that all the water bearing minerals in the crust dried out. Apparently plate tectonics relies on these water bearing minerals to absorb heat and melt acting like grease for plates to slide and move grinding even this to a halt causing immense heat and pressure to build up for tens to hundreds of millions of years until the entire surface is covered in new material or twenty mile wide chunks of crust flip like icebergs adding more and more CO2 to the air until it's like it is today.

Sure, but why?

There's a song called "Gliese 710" by King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard that's about the exact end scenario of Gliese 710 descending upon a far-future Earth! The album has a lot of sci-fi themes in it's lyrics and also makes it a point to compose each song in a different "mode" of the normal Major scale (Otherwise known as Ionian). It's really good, personally. It's also in (music nerd shit) 7/4 time and is in the Locrian scale so it fits the vibes an apocalypse brings really well!

"I'm in with the Oort Cloud" [Lobsang - The Long Cosmos]

[@zaynthebrayn]

Hey John, I was curious if you were going to talk about the dying star that keeps repeatedly brightening after it dies? Even though the star is considered ‘dead’, it has emitted 14 flares in the last 120 days. The Tasmanian Devil LFBOT is an interesting case of something weird happening in the universe and I would love to hear you talk about it.

[@AlecMuller]

It's interesting thinking about the physics of "celestial capture/ejection". You'd think an object would either hit or miss, and if it missed, it would leave with the same potential+kinetic energy it approached with. It basically ONLY works when you have momentum-transfer among 3 bodies (e.g. probes that use gravity-assist orbits). So they're a tiny fraction of fly-bys.

[@DerStreifenralf]

[@pazitor]

Building a set of interconnectable habitats using the asteroid belt is the best option for long term survival. Ideally, many would mimic Earth habitats in flora and fauna, others dedicated to power generation, motility, and whatever IT/AI is at that point.

[@finarii1975]

Speaking of things that are interesting bit not especially covered in litersystem. Much fuss, as you said, is often made about disrupted Oort Cloud objects being sent into the inner solar system. However, I'm also curious about the opposite. As these close steller encounters took place, would one not expect our system, and even the inner system, to have passes through the Oort Cliud analog in that other system? Would this not potentially allow for objects to be captured into highly eccentric orbits of our star as well or directly result in impacts, though rare?

[@brianbb177]

Yay

[@aurorathekitty7854]

At least flying through the ort cloud will save us from the inevitable end of the sun.

[@glasses685]

Eh, personally I'll take "ejected into the Oort Cloud" over "incinerated by the Red Giant sun". Sure, life is doomed either way, but with the former at least Earth will remain around as a monument to what once was.

Sometime before the end of Sol our future selves return Earth back to it's current location. It will be surrounded by a series of satellites that will project a shield around the planet protecting it. The contents will also be set back to the location they are today. This will be referred to it as, "Classic Earth." Unfortunately the money set aside to fund this project will eventually dry up and "Classic Earth" will ultimately be swallowed by the Sun anyway.

Now I find myself thinking about a future Earth-based civilization figuring out a way to nudge and shift planetary orbits, and using that technology over the eons to keep Earth within the habitable zone as the Sun grows.

[@ThePetricore]

John, not even one mention of the fact that each of the interacting star systems likely have an equivalent "oort cloud" and planets. A neighbor star in our Oort Cloud means that it's equivalent Oort Cloud could have been overlapping us. Or, even it's outer planets. That's far more chaotic than just a solitary star perturbing our solar system. It's co-perturbation of all it's constituents too!

[@LMacNeill]

The miracle is that over the Earth's 4.5 billion year existence, this hasn't already happened. There is *SO MUCH* in this universe that can destroy life on a planet. It seems *far* beyond a reasonable chance that we're even here, let alone able to develop intelligence and technology that allows us to appreciate how unbelievably unlikely we are!

That would be lying though. It's the result of orbital and gravitational modeling at the University of Bordeaux and sits fully 100% within the laws of physics. Basic high school physics at its heart.

[@Nightscape_]

I'm happy our future technology will allow us to prolong the suns' life for billions, if not trillions of years and save the Earth long enough for us to expand amongst the stars - maybe we will even make our planet into a planetary ship that can traverse the galaxy and set itself in orbit around a new star or blackhole.

[@oberonpanopticon]

Assuming we remotely care about earth by then It’s just one planet among trillions, even if it is our first one.

[@211212112]

Actually Sol seems to have stars pass thru it's Oort Cloud on purpose. Maybe Sol is a great driver lining up close encounters millions of years onto the future and then hits it's marks regularly. Maybe that's the best way to socialize with the other starts swapping spit so to say.
