He estimated the sun was no more than 20 million years old, and presumably did not expect it to last for more than a few tens of millions of years more.
Not that I know of. Gravitational collapse is a really lousy, short-term source of energy, which is why he gave such a shorter estimate. Still on the scale of millions of years, I think.
Did he give an estimate of when we’d all freeze to death?
