How do you think the world will end?

[Ragazine14]

Please tell what you think will happen, after all, nothing lasts forever. How do you think the World will end?

For me, it's the heat death of the universe.
For info, click here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_death_of_the_universe

What do you think?
Post yours here.

 

[StoPCampinGn00b]

Depends on your definition on world, matey.

 

[Rex.]

We define this whole world as what we can sense with our 5 senses. Without these senses, the world would mean literally nothing compared to when we are still having these senses.

Imagine, if we can't see things. How do we define the world is without an image?

 

[Tauer]

Depends, do you mean the world as in the Earth or civilization/mankind? If the former the Earth will end when the Sun eventually consumes it as a red giant.
If the latter that's another matter entirely...

 

[Crused]

If you mean earth,so then how tauer said,but i will say it in a another way,the sun will burn the earth,but what he not have not tell here ,that maybe a big asteroid,meteor,comet or whatever,hit the earth before the
sun burns the earth,i mean guys who remmbers apofis,i mean how close was he to make a game over:

True, but unless it's a really REALLY big astroid the Earth will still be there after it hits. There might not be much life left, not for a long while anyway, but it's not the end of the world. Think about the hypothesized dinosaur extinction astroid. It's been determined to have been at least 6.2 kilometers in radius, whereas Apophis is only 320 meters. It would cause damage for sure, but it's not enough to destroy the planet completely.

 

[Wasabee]

It could be the sun's red giant state or an enormous solar flare or a gamma burst radiation which is unlikely to happen.

 

[Crused]

@tauer,yea you'r right,but what if he soon hit the artantic,what would happen on the earth?(i know we have not enough luck for this,but what if?)

 

[Wasabee]

@tauer,yea you'r right,but what if he soon hit the artantic,what would happen on the earth?(i know we have not enough luck for this,but what if?)

Some parts or whole countries will be underwater.

 

[Zwiebelchen]

To be perfectly honest, I think earth will survive humans by a couple of millions of years.

Judging by the rate we humans changed earth in only the last 100 years alone, the future of our kids is pretty much doomed.

... unless we severely change our minds and start to treat our home planet as more than just a giant ball of natural resources and a global trash dump.

 

[Celaquil]

Not with a full stop, but a colon.

 

[Shadow Fury]

Uh before the Earth will end, millions of years will pass so I don't even see why worrying now. The future generations will certainly find another suitable planet (I've heard that they've already found some) and the whole Earth will undergo the hugest exodus in the history of humanity. In the end, I don't think that humanity will cease to exist when the Earth will end.

 

[Wasabee]

It depends on the future situation humanity may encounter.

 

[StoPCampinGn00b]

I'm enjoying the dodgy "it depends" answers along with the no reasoning behind a statement answering the question ones. I guess both parties are equally guilty

 

[Wasabee]

There are a lot of possible outcomes either humanity is prepared or not. If they can escape or not. If they can restore our world or find another world. We will never know unless we are present in the situation.

 

[Zombie]

The NATO will implode the Earth's core in an effort to combat terrorism.

 

[Arad MNK]

Humans reach the Core of earth and they find A lot of Anti-Matters there. They want to use it but Then aliens come and steal them and they Burn Earth... None survives.

OR

Humans Pollute almost anything And they destroy the Atmosphere utterly. Then they Run to another planet (Probably planet X) by a Starship. (IF they have the Technology...)

 

[Crused]

The world will end ,becasue of a curse that i have set free on the world

 

[iChaos]

Why worry on the worlds end when you can worry about your OWN end.

 

[GreeN!X]

Don't worry, we'll kill ourselves soon enough. Probably through war.

 

[Korialstrasz]

Have you watched Interstellar? Not only is that the greatest film of all time according to me, it also shows the real ending of the world.
It will decay, thanks to us, and we won't be able to live on it anymore.

Don't worry, we'll kill ourselves soon enough. Probably through war.

I don't share this opinion tho, there is no use for War at the moment. For no one.

 

[Deleted member 242951]

Actually the world will end when I am bored and I will blast the very core... And return to Cosmostar (my real home in a far universe)

 

[Dr Super Good]

Humanity blowing itself up. The chances of anything else ending the world are too unlikely.

 

[Shadow Fury]

The most fascinating thing is that we already know we will destroy our own world and despite that we're not doing enough to stop this horrible event.

 

[Wasabee]

Sad huh.

 

[Dr Super Good]

The most fascinating thing is that we already know we will destroy our own world and despite that we're not doing enough to stop this horrible event.

Too bad it might not stop humanity. Humanity would still exist to go on and destroy other planets, and the life found on them.

 

[Korialstrasz]

Too bad it might not stop humanity. Humanity would still exist to go on and destroy other planets, and the life found on them.

Humanity always finds its way.

 

[Celaquil]

Why is this still being discussed? I already gave you the answer.

 

[Dr Super Good]

With division by 0.

This is why you need a degree to program a computer.

 

[Wasabee]

Humanity is the best candidate for the destruction of the world. The odds of other causes of mass sterilization of our planet is low.

 

[Fang]

Boom, Boom, Boom!!! That's how the world will end!

 

[Daffa]

Well, I would say it's like earth destroying itself.

 

[Zwiebelchen]

What about AI surpassing us, then purifying earth?

I like the sound of that.

 

[Edge45]

I pretty much say we will end ourselves, or if we managed to survive, we still might do the same, there are already signs,

 

[Fang]

About 600 Years

Firstly, assuming the world won't end soon, why does that make it not an issue? What if it takes a million years to figure out how to fix it?

Secondly, if you believe that it will take millions of years for our planet to become uninhabitable to us, you need a wake up call, but since the issue of climate change is considered by many to be political, I guess I'll have to avoid that topic here. If you don't believe we're affecting our planet, you're mistaken, is all I'll say. Closing your eyes does not remove the threat. I wish it did. I wish you were right. I really do.

And, sorry, but no, we haven't found any habitable planet. We've found planets that could potentially support life, but that doesn't mean they are ideal for human life. These planets are also thousands of light-years from us, so it's unfeasible that we will ever reach them. I won't say it's impossible, as many do, because who knows what we will learn about how this universe works, but I wouldn't bet on it.

You can believe what you want to, though. We will be dead before it happens, so it won't affect us. But that doesn't mean it doesn't matter. Some of us care about future generations. We are cursed to care about what has no impact on us.

Anyway, on topic: I believe that we are destroying our moral boundaries. We are greedy for more, it's in our instinct; nothing will ever be enough, because we determine the state of our being to those of others. The majority of us today are living in far better conditions than generations before us, and yet we still are not happy. Our material needs will only continue to increase with each generation as we strive for more. This will lead to our downfall.

My opinion is very similar to one in this video:

Ok I totally had no intention of answering to this because I consider the topic quite useless but since it has been revived...
Technology still has to reach its maximum development and space is still to be explored more thoroughly before we can really think of saving ourselves from the end. By the time this will happen (perhaps one million years?), we'll be called ancestors so I don't see why we should worry so much on the end of the world. It is such a depressing and demoralizing topic that is not worth perturbing about. Sure, we can do something to help the future generations but even if we totally ignore the issue, it won't have any large impact on us (unless the end is near). The most probable end of the world is when the sun will collapse (but that's not guaranteed of course) yet this will take like millions of years. Millions dude... that's a massive quantity of time and uncountable events will occur throughout all of this. Technology will reach such a high point that the devices we call nowadays "modern" will be called "prehistorical". We may do nothing now if the threat is millions of years away and that will not affect the next 1000 (I dare to say 10000) generations. Only if the threat is like maximum 1000 years far then we shall start to worry now (and it could be like that if we deplete the resources of our planet).
Oh right, I am aware that we are affecting our own planet, that's very clear.

To give you an outline of what I said and what I think, here is a short sentence:

If the world is about to end soon (and with soon I mean not more than 1000 years), then we should start worrying but if the world will end after millions of years, we may still relax and not worry ourselves too much.

Naa if the world's end is not near, and by near I mean 100 years or so, then I dont really care.

 

[Shadow Fury]

If we're about to end in like 200 years, we gotta pee in our pants then!

 

[hiphop4eva]

If we're about to end in like 200 years, we gotta pee in our pants then!

I still wouldnt care, as I'm not the one thats gonna see it. Besides, one day we all are gonna die no matter what we do. (The Hour.) I dont know why I'm such a dick right now, I used to care about stuff a lot. While killing a helpless creature in Spore I feel so bad about it, but when I hear that the world is gonna end in 200 years (hope not) I'm like ''I wont live that much so no problem at all.''

This "I don't care" mania will be the reason we'll extinguish. If you say "I don't care if the world will end after a million years" it's reasonable. But if you say "I don't care if the world will end after 200 years because I'll be dead by then", it's terrible. We gotta care about the incoming future generations. The sons of your sons could be in peril for example so you should care if the end is too near.

Ikr! I used to care a lot when I was younger, now I'm just different. Maybe I do care but I dont know it. And you should not only care for your son's son, but every single human. You really dont think leaving your OWN KIND into destruction is a good idea right? (Tho some people deserve it)

I do care about our own race of course but mine was just an example (hence I said "for example")

 

[neven1]

People will kill each other eventually.

 

[kharza]

It´s obvious. The world will end with my death.

 

[MasterHaosis]

Judging by the rate we humans changed earth in only the last 100 years alone, the future of our kids is pretty much doomed.

This is what I think that will happen. In last 20 years people drastically decreased nature, cutting too much of trees and vegetation, poisoning air with many stuff over years (from car, factories up to everything), water, wars, radiations etc etc... so in turn we have destructive natural disasters (storms, hot, cold, snows, winds, trying in weather manipulation etc etc..) as ever. And this is only the beggining of the end.
Fightback of nature. This is how I think that Earth will end one day, not in recent future, but in some distinct. If this trend continues of course.
