If it makes you feel any better, the sun is way too small to ever go supernova. Stars that size have slow deaths over time, and before that ever gets close it’ll have grown so much it’ll engulf earth’s entire orbit.
Sun intensity increases over time > the oceans boil into space, bye bye complex life > sterile ball > Sun swells into Red Giant possibly overlapping Earth’s orbit > Sun dies taking any optimistic sci-fi humans or what evolves from us with it, not massive enough to supernova > White Dwarf nuclear corpse > Black Dwarf > Universal Heat Death > ???
This gives me more existential dread than it reasonably should…
