How will the world end, in your opinion?

Question

Seeing as the craze on the 2012 thing is rising on Answers, I'd like to ask: In your opinion, how would the world end? Is it by a freak catastrophe (asteroid), by Global Warming ("The Day After Tomorrow" style), or by some other way? Share your opinion here; I'd like to hear from you all.

Answer 1

I think the world will in 2012 if not then sooner or later we'll just die by pollution. Because the world is really dying. That's why almost everybody's talking about going green.

Answer 2

alot of things could happen at any second.

Like the nearest star to us explodes or and asteroid creeps up behind the sun.

Judgment day from God.

Aliens attack us like Independence Day movie by Will Smith.

The Andromeda Strain.An Earth Quake.World War 3.

Answer 3

Don't worry how the world  ends  worry about how you live  you and i will die some day just try to live life with out regret as best you can not even god ask for more then our best  and don't forget life is a road not adestinationn

Answer 4

The world, I believe will end by the big crunch, you know, the opposite of the big bang. And like the question which comes first the egg of the chicken, the cycle begins once again.  

Answer 5

Actually, the 2012 craze is dying off a bit. When I first started there were at least 20 questions per day. Now its starting to die down... but I don't want to jinx it.

In my opinion, I see mankind ending through an asteroid impact. I think that we won't be around for another 5 billion years to wait and see the sun swell and then die out. I think an asteroid impact makes the most sense given that it happens fairly often. I don't think that global warming is going to finish us off... I think it could present some problems, but not end the entire world. So yes, I'm going to go with asteroid impact. Whether it lands in the ocean or on land doesn't make much difference.

Answer 6

A curtain being drawn and Porky Pig saying "the-the-the-the-the That's All Folks!"

Answer 7

Not with a bang but with a whimper.

Answer 8

The Sun once gave birth to us and now it is claimming it back.

i do think that it will stop in a Big Crunch which is the oppposite of the Big Bang.  if it gets too big it will become smaller.

i do not think that a comet will destroy ALL of humankind

and the 2012 thing is stupid

made up from a kid that was bored and wanted to scare us.

Answer 9

1. I will wait until the year 2061 when halley's comet is once again passing through our solar system and i would have been 87 years old if my body had survived, 10 years before the comet passes through i will have a heart attack and my body will die, but my transhumanist friends will have removed my brain and hooked it up to the first brain/computer interface, once my brain can interface with all the computers in the world i will become the most intelligent being on this world anyway, the first night the comet can be seen by the naked eye at night i will command all the robotic workers in the world to serve me and i will order them to build me a heavily armoured robotic transport for my brain/housing unit then i will order them to build me a massive spaceship so my robots and myself can leave earths solar system forever, but before i go i will take a few ideal human specimens with me for the perpose of breeding and the rest of humanity will be wiped out by a biological agent i left on the planet.

2. Humans will most likely die out from rendering themselves sterile, just think of all those wonderful artificial food additives changing our bodies natural biochemistry and all the high UV warnings becoming more and more frequent, and lets not forget bio medical waste that is being dumped into the ocean, heck i ready that most of the fish in the great lakes are dying out because of mercury and lead poisoning, say don't allot of people in the great lakes area rely on that water as drinking water, well with poison in the food & water and large doses of radiation from sun, i say mankind will sterilize itself.

Answer 10

The world will end when all life ceases to exist on it. I think that will happen when the sun exhausts its hydrogen and swell into a red giant and engulfs the earth. It is highly unlikely there will be any humans around to see it. Don't worry, this will be in 3or 4 billion years from now.

Answer 11

Earth will tire of us and she will shrug her shoulders and we will cease to be. Oh it could be massive earthquakes, or super volcanoes,or even a wobble in her axis. But whatever she does, it will do us in. Then she will rest for a while before starting in on supporting the next dominant life form.  

Answer 12

it could be a disease that could wipe out the human or a comet that hit the dinosaur but instead it human

Answer 13

If no meteors or comets hit the earth and smash it apart, the sun will expand and swallow it up. I know this for a fact because I saw it on Doctor Who!

Answer 14

When the Sun stops fusing H at its core...bye bye Earth!

In about 1.5 billion years from now the surface temp. of the Earth will be around 122 degrees F. 3 billion years from now the surface will be at the boiling point of water, around 6-7 billion years from now, H fusion will have stopped at the core and the Sun will bloat to our own orbit in its red giant phase.

I guess you could say "global warming" but not in the al bore way.

Answer 15

The world will end with the heat death of the Universe.

We're already smart enough to get the world through the expansion of the Sun into it's Red Giant phase.

Answer 16

To quote Robert Frost:

Some say the world will end in fire;

Some say in ice.

From what I've tasted of desire

I hold with those who favor fire.

But if it had to perish twice,

I think I know enough of hate

To know that for destruction ice

Is also great

And would suffice.

In other words, I think the Sun is going to destroy the Earth when it goes through the rest of it's nuclear cycle.  Its possible Earth may avoid being swallowed by the Sun and might end up a frozen rock drifting around a dead burnt out star....but don't worry, humanity will have gone extinct long long before then.  Humanity is destined to be swallowed up by the Universe.  As it should be.

Answer 17

The world will end in no time.

It is possible that it would end on 2012.

Yeah, possibly end by the most disastrous situation.

Probably global warming...But it is not proven to end the world yet...

Anyway, just wish the world will go in PEACE, but not end in a few years time, maybe longest.

Good Luck!
