To avoid extinction, the episode highlights several scientific and theoretical paths for humanity:

: A more radical concept involves transcending our biological limits. By uploading human consciousness into machines or digital formats, "humanity" might survive in environments that would be lethal to organic life. Conclusion Through.the.Wormhole.S04E03.Can.We.Survive.the....

: Some theories suggest physically moving the Earth further away from the Sun using gravitational assists from asteroids or other celestial bodies to keep our planet within a safe temperature range. The billions of years we have until this

: For long-term survival, scientists are investigating propulsion technologies that could reach a "second Earth" in another solar system. This would require breakthroughs in speed and sustainability that currently border on science fiction. : For long-term survival

The episode argues that while the "death of the Sun" is a guaranteed event, it is not necessarily the end of the human story. The billions of years we have until this occurs provide a vast window for technological evolution, suggesting that our descendants may eventually leave Earth behind to find a new home among the stars.

: The most direct solution involves moving our civilization. Mars is presented as a primary short-term candidate for relocation as the Sun's "habitable zone" shifts outward.
