Is that what you call astronomy?

1) Was I talking to you? No.
2) He said NOTHING is guessable within 100,000 years. I just said that you could guess when a gaming system is out within the 100,000 years.
3) No I don't call that Astronomy.

If you want to talk to him only, then send a PM. Everyone is free to reply on a forum...

Oh yeah?

Average age of an star - star's estimated age = star's estimated time of death.
The problem in astronomy is that nothing is guessable more accurately than by hundreds of thousands of years...

I suppose I should have been a little more direct and focused with what I said.

Basically, my point is the same as finlands.

Being that there already is a double rainbow. (It's a reflection from the first rainbow.) So there, you have two rainbows. :] I've seen them. SO there would be 4 rainbows

Secondly, this is stupid. Sorry... lol Just I can't see how this could happen anytime soon.. There would be soooo many signs before hand. It's not like a light bulb.. It's not going to just one day decide to burn out. It would show signs of going into its second stage of life before just doing so. And my guess is that it would take at least 3-10+ years for it to completely die out. (Creating the second sun.. as it says..)

And by then, I'm sure somewhere in China, or Japan, they would have created some kind of alternate way of life.

It already is in it's second stage of life, and has been for our entire lifetime. There is no signs visible to the naked eye untill it actually starts to burst. Even then it is only noticeable if the star is very close to our galaxy. And the actual eruption of a supernova only lasts from a week to a couple months depending on the size of the star.

But the problem is still that this can't be predicted as accurately as a year or two. I highly doubt this'll happen during our lifetime.

Do you not know how many people out there study the stars day in and day out? You don't think they can't tell that something's going wrong?

Also, I agree with you last statement. (that's what I was getting at.. lol)

Yeah, and the guy in that news article is one of those guys. The only thing "wrong" in that article is the reporter who took his words and made it sound like this IS going to happen by 2012.

All he really did say is that it could happen any day for the next couple hundred thousand years or so...

Yeah I know, And where I was saying that it's not likely to happen anytime soon.
