後太陽時代

BBC中文網看到這麼一篇科學報導:太陽「壽終正寢」後人類和其生存的地球會怎樣?

內容蠻天文科學的,我摘錄一些如下:

科學家最近所發現的一個天文現象,為他們提供了幾十億年後當我們的太陽「壽終正寢」後未來的一瞥。

天文學家觀察到一顆巨大的行星圍繞一顆白矮星(white dwarf)在運行。白矮星通常是恆星在耗盡了核燃料,它的核心就會坍縮成為致密的白矮星。白矮星是低質量恆星演化路線的終點。恆星在經歷紅巨星階段的末期,它的中心會因溫度、壓力不足以使碳氧元素進行核聚變,從而產生一個致密天體。大部分恆星的演化過程都包含白矮星階段。天文學家說,這也是他們所觀察到的行星可以在它們所圍繞旋轉的恆星「死亡」,變成白矮星後依然倖存下來的直接證據。

科學家根據計算認為,最多再有大約60億年,太陽就會膨脹為現有體積的200倍,成為一顆紅巨星(Red Giant)。隨著太陽的膨脹,它會吞併和摧毀我們的地球,之後,太陽就會變成一個白矮星。

當太陽達到紅巨星階段,它會不斷膨脹。 屆時,我們的地球將會被吞沒。 水星(Mercury)和金星 (Venus)也不能倖免。但是火星(Mars)、小行星帶、木星(Jupiter)和太陽系中的其他行星將在其軌道基礎上向外擴張。

簡單地說就是,天文科學家透過觀察其它星系情況,預言了未來幾十億年後,咱們的太陽要是"死了"之後的太陽系情況,很不幸的是,地球將會被毀滅....

很傷心嗎?

其實,幾十億年,真的是長到難以想像的以後。如果那時候地球還存在,是的,地球存在並不是那麼必然,不是常常有聽過看過宇宙中的"漂泊"星體要撞過來嗎?只要稍微大一點的,地球就葛屁了.... 人類到時候還存在更是要非常非常幸運才行,有些小星體可能毀滅不了地球,但是毀掉生物可是綽綽有餘,一顆城市大小的隕石直接撞擊,我看就差不多了...

就算沒有或是人類很厲害可以摧毀來犯者,但還有太多可以毀掉人類的事情哪!太陽一個什麼黑子風暴,或是地球內部地殼怎麼了,太冷了,太熱了,(大氣)太薄了,人類這麼弱,動不動就得滅絕的...

喔,別說那些大的,小到不行的病毒、生態失衡、大氣變毒什麼的,全部都可以輕易殺死大半人類的...

更別說人類自己殺自己,歷史上殷殷為鑑,例子可多了...

咦?還沒說到可能突然出現的外星人來屠行星呢..... >_<....

唉,說真的,人類才活了有文明的幾千年而已,不就感覺很久很久了?這種"億"等級的時間觀,我感覺是神人等級的,咱們凡人就別跟著瞎操心了吧~~~~

況且,這篇文章最後給了一段挺能安慰廣大讀者的一段結論,你也一起安心一下吧!

不過,希望到那時,地球上的人類早已具備移民到太陽系以外的能力,或是飄蕩在太空中的人造城市中去了。
