Chapter 17, Problem 18EAP
Does It Make Sense?
Decide whether the statement makes sense (or is clearly true) or does not make sense (or is clearly false). Explain clearly; nor all of these have definitive answers, so your explanation is more important than your chosen answer.
18. humanity will eventually have to find another planet to live on, because one day the Sun will blow up as a supernova.
