Cut straight from the Lurkers Guide, JMS Speaks:
[*]"My personal nit is that JMS has the sun going nova in only a million years. This seems several orders of magnitude too soon for me."
Actually, the computer voice specifies that it is continuing to note atypical solar emissions...atypical meaning something unusual is going on.
And what if you, say, interfered substantially with the mass of the sun by, say, causing a series of jump points to open up *inside* the sun across several days?
You'd also substantially decrease the mass of Sol, which as I understand it, would result in the sun going nova.
No where did he ever hint that someone else messed with it. From what he says, and the way the scene goes down, there is no way you can assume anything but the fact that *WE* did that. The human in the future isn't upset at the fact he is leaving Earth. It's not a tragic scene like it would be if someone else blew it up. He in fact says "We now leave the cradle for the last time." and something about "Joining up with the others for the celebration." Believe me, if someone else blew up our sun, we wouldn't be celebrating. No, we did it ourselves, because we had evolved and it was time to move on. Perhaps to the Vorlon homeworld, but they never really say. For sure, it was time to move on past our own solar system so we could guide the younger races better, while not getting in the way. In fact, this next part from the Lurkers Guide, JMS Speaks, says exactly that as well:
[*]Did the future humans leave the galaxy as the Vorlons did?
No point in leaving the galaxy; stars go nova, it only affects the immediate vicinity (big as that is). By this point, they were in the position of the Vorlons, and now have to take their (our) place guiding the younger races, the next wave, while not getting in the way and remembering the lesson of the shadow/vorlon conflict.
It pretty much all says that we did it ourselves and that it was time to move on. If you look at all the clues, there is pretty much no other explaination that makes sense. You can bet that was JMS's intention with that scene. Hope this helps.
