No one will be alive by the time the sun becomes a red giant. With the lack of an atmosphere and no water, nothing would be alive to see this happening. That is to say we were still on earth.

Scientists say that the earth has lived over 95% of its life time.

If it's not the sun blowing up, I think that it will be the moon exploding or another planet. If the moon was to go then the there would be no tides, and the Earth would loose it gravitational stability. If another planet would to blow up, then Earth would be sucked into a black hole.

Its actually 5 billion before the earth enters the red giant phase.

The moon moves away from the earth about 3.8cm further away each yea, give or take and it moves away from us by about 38km every million years. Which is not that bog of deal really. For it to really start screwing with our tides would take a few billion years, but by then the sun would have gotten hotter and evaporated all our water, destroy our atmosphere killing everything that may still be on it at the time, and turn it into a molten rock floating in space. Also a destroyed planet does not create a blackhole.

Lol i saw you quote this earlier and didnt see a reply, i was like wtf?
Well if the moon exploded for some reason, then it would happen very quick. I also thought an exploding plant caused a black hole :/

For the size of the moon, it would appear to happen in slow motion. And no, and exploding planet doesn't cause a black hole. Black holes form when large stars (much bigger than the sun) explode and the core collapses in on itself.
