> [@Daithi Lacha](#): > > Take away his credit cards, OF COURSE! > > Who’ll stop the rain? According to _New Scientist_, the rain will stop when the Earth becomes tidally locked to the Sun and the Sun gains luminosity, resulting in the near face of the Earth having a lava sea and the far face having a nitrogen icecap. There will then be no liquid water on the Earth. So, basically, astrophysics will stop the rain. Of course, all things change, and after a time, there will again be rain: rains of iron, phosphorus, and sodium on the shores of the lava sea. _Why?!!!_ ---
