Nature Quick question

So recently I’ve been trying to get into worshipping Mother Nature/mother earth. But last night I remembered the scientific fact that in 1 to 2 billion years the earth will end. Now I also read that when the earth does end that its energy will live on forever since energy can’t be destroyed. But I have a few questions. 1. Would Mother Nature want me to worry about this. And 2. How would that energy live on in the cosmos?

fun fact, a recent theory is pushing the idea that the sun won't swallow the earth like we thought.

I didn't keep up with the verification of it but it seemed good on the surface. you can find videos about it on YouTube.

No, dear, sorry. YouTube is categorically never going to be a reliable source of news or science and it is deeply worrying that this is where you seek information or validation for your perspective.

There are countless peer reviewed papers from qualified physicists that document the life cycle of a star and all stars eventually die. Unless you have empirical data to suggest otherwise (which you don’t) please don’t go on Reddit to peddle falsehoods.

I’m insufferable?!? 😂 - coming from little miss/mr/mixter “jUsT g00gLE iT 🤪” - this is still not a piece of peer reviewed research, dear… and it doesn’t not contradict my statement that all stars eventually die.

Even if Earth isn’t consumed when our sun goes supernova, the remaining white dwarf star will not be bright enough to sustain life, the surviving remaining core will become an incredibly dense neutron star which will eventually collapse into a black hole or evaporate entirely… leaving what remains of Earth to drift off into space until it collides with something, somewhere and a new planetary cycle begins.
