Which of the following does Scientist 1 suggest would postpone the sun reaching its Red Giant phase?
A. Using technology to create space colonies built from pieces of meteorites
B. Using technology to create a giant sunshade to protect Earth from the sun
C. Using technology to change the levels of hydrogen in the sun’s core
D. Using technology to increase the amount of hydrogen in Earth’s core

Scientist 1
Earth’s sun has another 7 billion years before it enters the Red Giant phase. Currently, Earth could not sustain human life during the Red Giant phase. However, it is important not to believe that human life on Earth will immediately cease to exist as we know it in 7 billion years. Technology has played a huge role in helping humans adapt to conditions on this planet. We humans have 7 billion years to advance technology and find solutions to adapt to the atmospheric changes the Red Giant phase would bring. For instance, creating a large sunshade to protect Earth would allow life to continue even when the sun enters the Red Giant phase. Another solution would be to develop technology that would stir the sun and bring new hydrogen to the sun’s core. This would greatly extend the current phase that our sun is in. There is enough time and incentive to discover ways to thwart the natural progress of nature. Therefore, I believe that human life on this planet will exist indefinitely.
