You just changed what you said...

Your other post said that IF it were to happen, it wouldn't have much any effect during the lifetime of the Solar System.
It would take too long and the Sun will have baked the Earth long before then Anyway.

NOW you are claiming 70 years? And it's quite clear that you invented that 70 yezars off the top of your head...

Like I said- Fear Induced...

I can put your Mind at ease:
Long before Earth is devoured by a Black Hole- The Sun will grow into a Red Giant and devour Mercury and Venus.
If it does not devour the Earth as well- then it will bake everything off of it turning it into a very hot gasless and waterless rock.
But it won't be OUR problem...
In fact, the odds, although minimal odds, are actually pretty good odds over that type of timeframe- That something will have banged into the Earth and done some wiping out anyway before the Sun goes all Red Giant on us.

All of this assumes that a Nearby SuperNova does not douse the entire planet in extremely Lethal radiation first. And that has a pretty good probability of happening within the next 100,000 years or so.
