Hate to be pedantic but our star won't collapse it's not large enough for that, it will simply puff out and die leaving behind a very hot core called a White Dwarf

Won’t the white dwarf be a smaller diameter than the sun?

That’s what I meant by collapse, but maybe in astronomy collapse means supernova?

You're underestimating humanity's future potential to add more gas to our star!
Not at these prices.
Well, talk about anti-climatic!
