    I am fully on board with you. When I said humanity would live a few hundred years I meant “there is at least one human alive in some vault somewhere.” It’s entirely possible that you are right, and it’s certain that 99% will be dead in the time you laid out, I just think that it’s surprisingly difficult to kill 100% of anything.

        Please explain how that could happen? Because it would take a hell of a lot of energy to stop the rotation of the core

          there was a theory i heard from a drunk climate scientist about heat and electromagnetism and shifting poles, referencing what I think was the curie temperature but this was a long-ass time ago.

          i don’t think it would just completely switch off, just be less.
