The idea of ​​saving Earth from a former NASA scientist is to steal energy from Jupiter, Science News

The sun is a source that sustains all life on Earth. But there will come a time when the Sun will start to run out of fuel in a billion years. At that time, the Sun will increase in size and literally burn our planet. There will be no escape.

But a former NASA scientist came up with a far-fetched theory that is being talked about in an amused tone.

The scientist wants to extend the radius of the trajectory of the Earth’s rotation around the Sun. And he suggests using the asteroids and “stealing” the energy from Jupiter!

David Holz, Ph.D. says if his suggestions are actually implemented, the Earth could remain habitable for 5 billion more years! To become a reality, this would require considerable technological progress.

Holz explained his idea in his new academic article, and the article was published by professors at NASA, University of California, and University of Michigan.

The title of the article is “Astronomical Engineering: A Strategy for Changing Planetary Orbits”.

He also tweeted about his idea.

“The Earth burns in a billion years when the sun stretches out. UNLESS we steal energy from Jupiter to gradually expand Earth’s orbit! Jupiter every 6000 (!) Years. “He said in his tweet

This is not Holz’s first ambitious suggestion for solving a global problem. In February 2020, he proposed nationally-sized floating solar panels raised in the air so that the sun’s rays were blocked and the Earth’s temperature could be manually adjusted.
