A giant thruster could be used to shift the Earth’s orbit as changes to the sun’s energy output increases

The video discusses a study predicting a drop in Earth's oxygen levels, threatening complex life. Astrophysicist Ethan Siegel proposes attaching a massive thruster to the South Pole to move Earth's orbit, countering the Sun's increasing energy output due to core changes. This would require immense energy, potentially from solar panels, and involve complex mechanics to propel Earth safely. The new orbit could alter Earth's path relative to space objects.
