1. I am not an expert but it would seem that the sun could be facing the end of its life cycle. As NASA experts have been thoroughly analyzing the solar flares, they have indeed been increasing in their intensity. The most obvious-and extremely important-question is how would you know if/and when the sun is going to "die" per say? Another question that plagues many peoples'(scientists/experts/even civilian) minds is: how/and where are we going to escape the inevitable of our star's demise? With corrupt political and religious officials running the world, how will we make ends meet? For their reign of tyranny/neoliberalistic and unrealistic/arbitrary laws/policies/values should not/cannot coexist on Earth, our solar system, the Milky Way Galaxy and beyond. They must remember that "Science Rules the Universe(s)"…not fititious entities that more than likely don't exist. Thank you for your time and patience.
