Exact Date ‘All Life Will

Elon Musk has stated that life on Earth will eventually be destroyed by the sun, a claim supported by recent scientific findings. Researchers from NASA and Tōhō University in Japan used supercomputers to model the sun’s evolution, predicting that Earth will become uninhabitable around the year 1,000,002,021. This will occur as the sun grows hotter and brighter, significantly reducing oxygen levels. In approximately five billion years, the sun will enter its red giant phase, running out of hydrogen fuel and expanding to possibly engulf Mercury, Venus, and even Earth.

Musk, speaking to Jesse Watters, emphasized the need for humanity to become a multi-planet civilization, citing Mars as potential “life insurance.” He noted that the sun’s gradual expansion makes establishing life on other planets essential. NASA has previously acknowledged that the sun will eventually exhaust its energy but noted that it is currently less than halfway through its lifespan, with around five billion years remaining.
