alt Hacker Newsthe numbers put the idea of total extinction of life on earth way out there in the relm of the improbable, and suggest that perhaps some living things will survive the expansion of our sun, when it inevitably turns into a red giant, or at least till some later phase in that process it also means that irrate alliens looking to rid the universe of earth life, have got there work cut out for them

I have a self bet that if they discover life on mars it's going to be suspiciously similar to what we have here.
When the Sun turns into a red giant the water on Earth won't stay liquid for much longer. Lack of water will be a much bigger challenge for life before the planet hits that limit of 122°C.
