Scientists have pinpointed a date for Elon Musk's doomsday scenario - when life becomes extinct. The SpaceX billionaire warned this week that eventually our existence on Earth will be destroyed by the sun. Now researchers from NASA and Toho University in Japan have calculated it as the year 1,000,002,021. They used advanced supercomputers and mathematical models to forecast the sun's long-term evolution. Their calculations suggest life will eventually become impossible as the sun grows hotter and brighter, raising global temperatures and gradually reducing oxygen levels. They also found that in about five billion years the sun will enter its red giant phase - a stage when it runs out of hydrogen fuel and dramatically expands. At that point, the swollen red giant will likely engulf the inner planets, including Mercury, Venus and possibly Earth.
