[00:00:00]The sun will swallow the Earth.

[00:00:02]Not maybe.

[00:00:04]Not possibly.

[00:00:05]It is guaranteed by physics.

[00:00:08]And scientists know almost exactly when.

[00:00:11]In approximately 5 billion years, the sun will exhaust its hydrogen fuel. When that happens, the core will contract and heat up, forcing the outer layers to expand dramatically. [music] The sun will swell into a red giant, growing to roughly 200 times its current size.

[00:00:30]Mercury will be swallowed. Venus [music] will be swallowed. And the Earth, our home, will either be engulfed directly or scorched beyond [music] any recognition as the sun's surface approaches.

[00:00:43]The oceans will [music] boil away in roughly 1 billion years, long before the red giant phase, as the sun gradually brightens over time.

[00:00:52]Life on the surface will become impossible within 500 million to 1 billion years. Not 5 billion.

[00:01:00]500 million.

[00:01:01]That sounds far away.

[00:01:03]But complex life on Earth only appeared 600 million years ago.

[00:01:08]We may already be in the second half of Earth's habitable window.

[00:01:12]The Quran says in Surah At-Takwir, "When the sun [music] is wrapped up in darkness."

[00:01:18]This was described 1,400 years before astrophysics confirmed it.
