though it would still be billions of years to go, is there any advance idea that can be mentioned by anyone, educated suggestions please.

The sun is around 4 billion years old, and is a yellow giant. When a star starts out, it is blue representing it's hottest color. The sun then will age and turn red, and can go through a supernova. My best guess is that the human race will have some advanced form of technology to protect us, or we will all be dead before the sun explodes. We'll just waite and see, won't we?

Mankind needs to solve the problem of global warming before we start worrying about the sun exploding. I saw a documentary on the earth's relationship with the sun, and it explained it like this:

If you compare the life of the sun with a clock and say that the sun began at 6 AM and will end at 6 PM, it is now 10:37 AM. By the time it is Noon, the earth will no longer be inhabitable. The temperature will be 160 degrees and the atmosphere will have thinned out considerably.

That's whether we do anything about global warming or not, but I think if we don't start doing something they may have to revise their estimation back towards 11 AM.

Seriously, I can't imagine us being able to leave the earth and colonize a distant planet. But then 2000 years ago, no one imagined the printing press, electricity, air travel or computers either.
Have faith. We will come up with an answer--we always do.

Billions of years is a very very very long time... Mankind will probably have become extinct or evolved into some other very different lifeform by that time.

But if not, then mankind will have probably managed to colonize the entire galaxy! How? There are many possiblities, but colonization would likely begin with multi-generational spaceships because of the vast distances involved to even the nearest stars (like Proxima Centauri,our closest neighbor, which is about 4 light years away).

Distances to habitable planets circling other stars are probably in the range of several tens of light years, so assuming a spaceship speed of 98% light speed, it still might take tens or hundreds of years to get there. You might begin the trip, but your grandkids would finish it.

Throw away the bombs, guns, poison gases and all the other weapons we kill each other with. Eliminate religion, national
differences and different languages. Become one society with the single co-operative goal of leaving Earth for the good and preservation of our species.

In other words, NO, there is no way it can be done.
