When will the world end????

Question

people told me that the earth was the size of a golf ball. Then it exploded. they said that it'll go back to the size of a golf ball in less than 2 million years!!!

Answer 1

No. The world (and the sun) will end when the sun turns into a red giant which will happen in another 5 billion years.

Answer 2

Answer 5

Your sources are terribly ill-informed.

It sounds as if they *might* have been referring to the Big Bang, which refers to the Universe exploding from a very small "egg" some 14 Billion years ago.

The world (planet Earth) will end when the sun becomes a Red Giant and expands to swallow the inner planets, in about 5 billion years.  However, life may have difficulty surviving after only another 500 million years.  And if we allow global warming to initiate a runaway greenhouse effect, human and animal life will become all but extinct in the next 150 years.

Answer 6

Lol that isnt true! the sun will expand in a billion or amillion years then it will expand to earth which will destroy earth in a supernova.

Answer 7

Thats b/s no such thing

Answer 8

well, its nothing for you to really worry about, you`ll be dead by then, (god bless). but the worlds suppose to ``end`` in 4 billion years.  

Answer 9

If we don't manage to destroy ourselves with our own technology and leave nature alone it will be approximately 5 billion years from now when the Sun expands into a red giant.

And why are you so concerned, anyway?

Answer 10

no body knows

Answer 11

ok then those people are stupid. the world will in in 4. billion years. golfball. god thats stupid.

Answer 12

Note: everybody who lives on Earth has only ever lived on Earth. We have no records of life prior to ours. All science is changing and being altered by our very actions. Given this information...

HOW THE h**l ARE WE SUPPOSED TO KNOW!?

Answer 13

Ha ha I don't know where you heard that from.

The Mayans (Ancient group) did extraordinary things that people still can't do to this day or figure out how they did it. They once aliened a pyramid to fit exactly under a star at an exact time or something like that. The Mayans believed that the world will end in in 2012. If they were correct at everything they did what's to say they will be wrong now?

Answer 14

Wormwood comes in 2012. If the world doesn't end then, perhaps in 2 or 3 billion years.

Answer 15

dec 21 2012  

Answer 16

You will just have to wait and see because nobody knows...  I think that the world will end when the oil runs out because there will be people trying to fight over what ever is left.  Or there could be a nuclear war that we all die from...

Answer 17

when our sun dies - when we run out of water - or if humans create  a world wide nuclear war.

Answer 18

yeah....um......no......for that to happen, Millions of tons of matter would pretty much have to vanish.

If our earth isn't obliterated by colliding with anything (planet, asteroid, etc), it'll be around as long as it takes for it to finally get sucked into the black hole in the center of the milky way galaxy. By the time that happens, the sun will have died out and become a small colder ball, the earth will freeze over to the point where no life will survive, and our solar system will just be frozen junk until we collapse into the black hole.

Some fundamentalists say this should have happened a couple years ago, some think it's coming shortly. Truth is it'll happen in trillions of billions of years.

EDIT: The world will not end when the humans die, btw. It didn't end when the dinosaurs went extinct. We could completely turn this place into a wasteland of nuclear sludge, but the earth will clean up over many many years and be fine and dandy without us!

Answer 19

Although the date December 20, 2012 sticks out according to the predictions of Nostradamus (many of his works were coded), the Aztec calendar (nothing on their calendar is recorded after this) and people such as Edgar Casey, this date does keep coming up. The truth ... no one knows when the world is going to end.. Since I was a little boy growing up in the 1980's to date there was always this controversy that the world was going to end soon. So far it hasn't, but, we all have to participate in keeping our planet clean and replacing what we take (if we can) and the worst danger of all is over population of the world. This leads to less and less space and an imbalance of nature.

Answer 20

I think the world will never end. But, it will end when the day the individual ( die ) life end.

Answer 21

I always figured whether religious, scientific, or nuclear war related . . . The world would be over by the time I was 50. And I am 18. So subtract, I guess.

Answer 22

You misunderstood what they said -- or they told you wrong.

If you believe in the Big Bang, then the UNIVERSE started out as what is called s "singularity", that was smaller than a golf ball.  It exploded, and the UNIVERSE expanded into what it is now.

But it is still expanding (getting bigger).  NO ONE knows when -- or even IF -- it will stop expanding.  >IF< it stops expanding then gravity will pull it back together again into the size of a goff ball.  This is called the Big Crunch.

>IF< this happens it will take TRILLIONS of years -- millions of millions of years.

Now, it is MUCH more likely that our sun will run out of fuel.  When that happens our SUN will explode and destroy the earth.  Scientists think that could happen in 5-10 MILLION years.

So what's the worry -- you won't be here when it happens.  In fact, you'll be so long gone that nobody will even remember you.

So let those people 5 million years from now figure out what to do.

Answer 23

Really, you never know

Answer 24

that sounds like a load of bs.  provided we don't kill the whole world in a nuclear holocaust.  billions of years from now the world will probably end when the sun explodes
