If the extent of your scientific knowledge about this subject comes from the movie "Knowing," please GTFO

Seriously, when I saw this movie, I was like, "The science of this movie is so fucking stupid. A solar flare killing us off in the 21ST CENTURY!?!?"

I know, right? But I always though it was the Aliens who aged our sun so that a solar flare would occur with a strenght to kill us now rather than later.

The Aliens probably have the technology to do that.
