I mean, they could have just not right now. This article is superfluous doom. We already have immediate doom. That's too much doom.

I'm cool with anything even remotely journalistic. So much of the news is hot garbage now.

Did you read the article, or just the headline?

Edit: ah just the headline then.

The estimated lifespan of the outer solar system has been downgraded from 100 billion years to just a few billion years, according to a study that probed “terminal instability” during the Sun’s death.

Oh no! Anyway...

Isn't this an inevitable truth of all 3+ body systems? We already know they're inherently unpredictable and so could fall apart in the not too distant future.

This article is just suggestion the Red Giant Sun will fuck up the outer plants too, which is not really a big deal wrt humanity because Earth will be a charred cinder ball long before then anyway.
