- Hate to disillusion you but the estimated lifetime of a G-type star like
- the sun is only about 10 billion years. Therefore it would only barely
- have enough time to rejuvinate life before evolving into a red giant and
- cooking all the interior planets, if life could even evolve again since
- the conditions during which life evolved were much different than they
- are today.
-
- Let's hope good ol' mother earth doesn't have to try to start life again
- why don't we. If EVERYONE pitches in, I think we can make a difference!
