What will happen to the world.

Not to scare you, but....in possibly 40 years or more, the sun could burn out and go supernova, freezing the earth with no chance of survival at all, but in the procces of super nova, creating a black hole that would suck the whole earth in, and could mabye reverse time, and transporting us to another dimension.
This would be a good topic for a movie.

in 40 years the sun will explode and you can only be 40 years old you can't have a good liver and bewm and everyone dies and there is a clown in your closet with a chainsaw at 3 am

I don't think we can predict that accurately the end of the sun's life. Then again that's just me. (Really though, the sun is really loving old, and we have it down to "it will die in 40 years kbai." I just find that hard to believe.)

in possibly 40 years or more

[Mateo]

K well possibly means it might not but if he didn't think it had a good chance of happening why would he post it other than to get negative feedback?  Still not gonna buy that it will become a black hole. Our sun isn't that kind of star anyways.

EDIT: Eh. If the knowledge I learned from ma researches in 6-7th grade is still intact and not
shattered into tiny shards. Still though, anyone wanna verify that only certain type of stars can become black hole? oh maybe it's in the process of becoming a black hole that it can become a white dwarf... @_@ Internets time.

ive got a little place on the moon

I'll be 57?

I think you want it to be a black hole, because of the possibilty of it reversing time when we get sucked in.

First off, our sun isn't big enough to go super nova, it will expand to a red giant (possibly engulfing Earth in doing so, though at the very least it will be much much more then global warming) it will then use up all of its fuel, and then will expel most of its mass, leaving a small brown dwarf whimpering in the night.

Second, Billions of years off.

Edit: I was too busy correcting the start of your post to realize the complete stupidity of the rest of it.  There is no chance of our sun making a Black Hole, it is not nearly massive enough.  Second, black holes rip up everything that gets near them, that is unless you can withstand gravity so strong is sucks in light.

Hooray I remembered things. QFT.

Well... for one, our star is a main sequence star, it will not go supernova but instead turn into a planetary nebula, with a white dwarf star at the center. Larger stars, that go through all fusion stages, are what go supernova and eventually become a neutron star or black hole.
Secondly, if the sun did go supernova, we would die most likely from the initial blast, if not the solar radiation from the blast would sterilize the surface of the Earth that was currently in view of it. Hell, if a star goes supernova within 40 light years of us, which I'm assuming is what you're referring, we would all die in 40 years.

Our sun will engulf the Earth once it matures into a red giant, by that time humans will all be dead I'm sure, and some new type of life will be on the planet to experience it.

Asteroids are more dangerous to us than that. Asteroids litter the night sky, but we can't see them and the majority are classified as world destroyers. In fact, we should be more afraid of our own species than the sun engulfing the Earth.

EDIT: K well some facts were stated before me while I was typing, but whatever.

Eh, that kinda creeps me out. That something so far away could kill me within seconds of me typing this, if it had been destroyed at a certain time in the past. :I

I believe that stars that end up as Dwarfs don't go super nova.  I think that the tree branches off as if they go super or not, and then the super tree branches off into black holes or neutron.

[Skele]

Well, we are supposedly only at risk within 40 light years at the most and our galaxy is fairly young.

I believe that stars that end up as Dwarfs don't go super nova.  I think that the tree branches off as if they go super or not, and then the super tree branches off into black holes or neutron.

Yeah, it's only main sequence stars that end up as dwarfs.

I found a decent tree showing the cycle of stars.  I guess our sun will create a planetary nebula (ie: big cloud around the sun, nothing to do with planets), but I'm pretty sure that our sun won't go nova afterwords.
