RJ: how do you think the world will end? verne: In a few billion years, the sun will explode, and the earth will be instantly vaporized....the only survivors will be cockroaches sheltering in twinkies. woo hoo! roaches rule! rj: not alone.
Actually, TS Elliot had it right, ‘…not with a bang, but a wimper.’ The sun will become a red giant star in about five billion years, converting helium in its core to carbon and oxygen. Then a billion years after that it will become a planetary nebula, where its outer layers will be gently puffed off into space. Earth will be gradually and gently vaporized.
Or, if you prefer, in a few years, god gunna call all his lil chilluns home.
In either case, cockroaches will need more than twinkies to survive.
