Last night watching "The Universe" the subject was how will man survive whaen the Sun dies and I'll throw out some ideas that are a stones throw in our future. One was an artifical sun. A second was placing a meteor in an orbit aound the Sun and Earth that would pass by every 10,000 years coming close to the Earth and pulling it back from the Sun to prevent us from burning up as the Sun expands when it begins it's final phases of existance.
Another one was more directed at energy sources and one idea was creating a man made black hole..don't ask me how it supplies energy. Some guy is working on a process where by with only a single glass of water we could supply eough energy to run a city of one million people for one day. It has something to do with hydrogen and lasers. Laser energy isgoing to solve perhaps all our energy needs in the future.
They also talked about how they plan to create an atmosphere on Mars by creating ozone layers to keep the oxygen atmosphere from escaping. This ozone layer will be created in part by releasing something in the planet as they dig holes to let it escape. I did not know Mars will survive the sun when it expands swallowing the first three planets Mercury, Venus and Earth.
A vehicle that would transport hundreds of thousands of people would be powered by miniblack holes pushing that vehicle at near speed of light velocity.
This stuff is way over my head but I can't help but watch what man will be doing in the future and we have five billion years before the Sun begins it's final phases. Think of what we will be able to do with technology by then!!
