Will humans eventually evolve into another species from what we are today with in a billion years? Natural evolution certainly would cause us to become different species. But, we are rapidly entering a period where we can control our evolution. The question is how much can we change and remain Homo Sapien with enhancements versus a new species. And, would our distant descendants even have an interest in remaining Homo Sapien. Will they instead prefer to be one species, or specialize and differentiate into species like Homo Imponderables (weight less), Homo Lunarian, Homo Martian, and Homo Titanian. Maybe our decendents will prefer simplified bodies that interface better with machines, and evolve to be cyborg.

Your videos are fabulous for many reasons, not least of which is the clarity of explanations for all the physical processes described. Thank you.

The thing that really blew my mind here is that this is the first time I'm hearing of a CNO cycle, so I immediately had to read up on that, because I didn't understand how the C N and O got there in the first place. As it turns out, you only need some Carbon-12 to start the cycle and even metal-free or very-low metallicity stars will slowly produce small amounts of Carbon-12 and once it reaches at least 10^-10 metallicity rate, it's enough to get the cycle started, whose rate the increases with temperature of the core as shown in the video. Learned something cool today. Also, I didn't realize Earth would vaporize if engulfed by Red Giant's outer layers due to high temperatures. I thought its orbit would sooner start lowering rapidly due to a drag on those outer layers, making it fall into the core. Cool video.

If in roughly 100 years we could go from horse and buggy technology to landing on the moon. What kind of tech would we have in 1000 years? Stargates, warp drives, Chewy, a packet of Tim Tams that never run out? At any rate your video is just cool man. Ten thumbs up!

Those heavier than Iron? In massive stars, those with a mass of 10 sun's or higher, hydrogen is fused into heavier elements. Helium first, and then carbon, oxygen, nitrogen and eventually iron. Iron marks the end of this fusion process, since it needs energy to fuse, lighter elements release energy when fused. When the mass of iron reaches a critical mass, about 1,44 times that of our sun, the star explodes as a supernova. The core collapses, forming either a neutron star or black hole while the rest of the star is blown away. The explosion produces a lot of neutrons. The heat and pressure from the explosion combined with the neutrons causes the atoms produced by the fusion process to absorb neutrons. The supernova basically goes through one last fusion process where the atoms such as carbon, oxygen l, nitrogen and others to fuse and absorb neutrons, producing elements heavier than iron. When two neutron stars collide, the merger gives the neutrons a positive or negative charge, forming protons and electrons. These combine with remaining neutrons forming some of the really heavy elements such as uranium.

The sun be like “wanna see me expand out to earth’s orbit and back? Wanna see mr do it again?” (Meme refrence)

Thank You very much for the wonderful explanation Sir.Wonderful Sir💖💖💖

So, one correction, the sun won't just expand and collapse twice like that, but rather several times as it will eventually become an Asymptotic Giant Branch star. A star in its AGB phase undergoes multiple thermal pulses and dredging events, causing it to pulsate rapidly (by stellar evolution timescales, anyway) before the star eventually sheds its outer layers and becomes a white dwarf. There's also a low likelyhood that it will further evolve into a second subgiant phase and then a second AGB phase due to a late thermal pulse, effectively causing it to turn into a red giant from a non giant phase three times in its lifetime. This is how hydrogen-deficient white dwarfs form, as the last of the remaining usable hydrogen is consumed rather than forming a thin shell around the stellar remnant. That third phase might actually be good, since it means even more of the sun's mass would be shed.

Idk, I'd say the fate of the Earth is pretty bright.
