RE: In Buddhism Where Will Souls Go if they Haven''t Reached Nirvana Before the Sun Dies?

A related question is how this reincarnation process copes with changes in population size. If the population keeps growing then where do the souls come from for each birth? Is there a queue of souls waiting to reincarnate and as the population grows the time to rebirth gets shorter? And what if there aren't enough souls? Do they then start inhabiting multiple bodies?
Or is this compensated by the fact that there is a mass extinction underway and that means there are fewer animals but more people? But how are you supposed to learn anything new by reincarnating as a slug if you messed up your last life as a human?
