But how does ever one presive the end of the world? Do you belive it to end in the biblical term's of one form or another of a bible (can't spell the other relgious ones but ya get my drift). But how does ever one think it will happen? I got intrested in reading the book of revelation's when I saw a bible on my family bookshelf.. So yeah..

I preseive the end of the world by mean's of either destruction by us. Or maybe by some sorta spectical force destroying us..

[Amadeus]

All of those theorys are not certain they will happen. But there is one thing that will for sure happen, and if Earth exists till then, it will for sure be destroyed then. That thins is the sun. When it will start to loose "fuel" (hydrogen) it will expand so greatly that only Neptun and Pluton will be left untouched. Once the sun will loose all of its energy, it will self-destruct and thus will be the end of our solar system. But that will hapen like in 5 billion years so you dont have to worry bout it.

Even if an Ice age does happen, humanity will survive it. If it did the last when they were naked and used wooden sticks, then im sure it would survive a modern ice age

Just before the Ice Age, I'll castrate you.

Then all of a sudden, that Ice Age is looking might interesting...

[Amadeus]

Scientists say the next Ice age will appear in 10.000 years and not tommorow like you would be led to belive by the movie day after tommorow. But they did say that global warming WILL speed up the process

[Amadeus]

The Ice Age was very harsh so speeding up the process is a no no. And even if I dont belive the movie DAT, I still think the Ice age should come nice and slowly insted of all of a sudden. Check out Evo and youll see what happend when a planet freezes at once.

I am pretty sure that the human race (us) will take out our planet. because nobody gets alonfg for no god damn reason and we have the technology to do so, and you never know, Bush might ge a bong (Family Guy there). But seriously we will take out the planet within oh say 120 years.

It is horrible, because you think will I won't live to see it, but then you will probably have children and if tehy don't live to see it then their children will, very horrible thought.

[Hellfighter 17]

I do not see how a warm age would be good, think of people in Africa, it already reaches the 120's there.

Holy shit, you failed physics.

First our sun isn't going to go Super Nova, it isn't big enough to do that. Also, it's not going to engluf the earth; and especially not Saturn or Jupiter. That's just ridiculous. While the earth will become a hellish uninhabitble place it will still be around but likely be the same as Mercury.

Edit: There is evidence that there was a sudden freezing that took a couple hours about 5,000 years ago. So who knows what can happen.

[Hellfighter 17]

Yea, our sun is a dwarf star right?

And it wouldn't take about 5 billiuon years, it's not going to happen all of a sudden probably a couple million I'd say.

[Krillin]

I adopt the Christian standpoint, as foretold in Daniel and Revelation.

But there's no need for me to clarify on that, as most of you probably know what that standpoint means.

Someone once said that the possibility of life more intelligent than us out there is zero, because we're almost at the stage at which civilization tends to destroy itself.

[Hellfighter 17]

But, what if there is a society of aliens out there that actually get along with another instead of raging war. And we are not at the peak of society I'd say, we will never reach that, if tehre is one anyway.

[Krillin]

It's possible. Who knows?

However, as per a book I read, I no longer believe in aliens. Our earth is so finely tuned to support life, that it is insane to believe that another planet is abundant with life (though, from the scientific standpoint, if it happened once, it can happen again).

[Hellfighter 17]

Yea, but it's hard to imagine that in over thousands of planets across teh universe taht we are the only that has intelligent life. And some life has been found from Mars, so they might have intelligent life in a few million years, or less.

[Kami]

The iron nickle core of the Earth will eventually stop spinning which would eliminate the magnetic fields which protect the Earth from the solar winds, and the Earth would stop heating itself. The solar winds would blow away the atmosphere and everything dies. The rotation speed of the Earth will eventually drop down making the days far too long for life on the planet (unless it eveolves to accomodate the increasingly long nights/winters/days/summers) and the planet will die. The good news is (if I remember right) the sun will collapse before this and destroy the entire solar system. It is also possible the Earth could be struck by a giant meteorite, kicking up debris into the atmosphere and literally choke the planet to death.

That or someone blows us all up...that would suck. Point is, by the time any of this happens and the Earth is destroyed, we'll all be long dead!

The moon was formed when the Earth was struck by a glancing blow from a Mars sized object which tore off a chunk of the Earth's mantle, these torn off chunks went into orbit around the Earth and eventually gathered together to form the moon.

People wonder if there is life on other planets - it is possible, but then again when we look to Mars and say "What went wrong?" maybe what we should be doing is looking at Earth and saying "What went wrong?" The fact that Earth has oceans, which were made from comets hitting the Earth that had frozen water in them, CO2 gathering in the atmosphere from all the volcanic activity, the CO2 being absorbed by volcanic rocks, rain also helped form the oceans, and in the oceans life began which absorbed the CO2 and produced Oxygen. I know I don't have everything perfectly straight, but the general idea is there. The universe is so huge, that it is possible that there is someplanet in some solar system, maybe even with two or three suns (because thos exist) that had a similar devleopment to that of the Earth and some basic form of life sprung up.

Sure everyone's seen it, but I couldnt resist.

Heres a huge collection of therories. http://www.xs4all.nl/~mke/exitmundi.htm

The Dooms Day riders from hell will one day appear in the sky, a stair case to hell will open up and we'll all go down to get drunk for the rest of our afterlives.

Or what Kami said will work too...

1.You werent in Astronomy class
2.You werent in Geography class
3. My mistake, the sun wont explode. It will turn into something white
4. Yes, the sun WILL infact consume all the planets except the last two. Even if Jupiter and Saturn are as big as more then 2,000 Earths that wont help them much against the awesome power of the sun. Did you actually think those twou would be able to prevent the sun from expending? Please......

But the point still remains: Earth will not exists any more. But I think by then we should have a advanced enough technology to move to another planet.....that is unless we get destroyed far before that.

3. I did not say the sun will go supernova. It will be an explosion but not of such power

Actually you did, if you are saying the sun is going to 'explode'. It will expand as the core shrinks and become a red giant, but will only expand enough to just pass earth's orbit, if that. It's debatble given the data from satellite Hipparcos, they believe that the Sun will not engluf the earth. Not that it matters, we'll still be killed by the suns deadly onslaught of solar winds that will likely burn off the atmosphere.
The sun also won't explode at all, it will slowly lose it's outer layer and become a white dwarf.

Can you even fathom how big our solar system is before you make such stupid-ass claims such as "The Sun will envolpe everything except Pluto and Neptune", or are you just stupid?
