How will the world end?

Nuclear bomb set off by some insane despotic terrorist? giant asteroid, plague, superbugs resistance to antibiotics, it may not be in your lifetime but do you think the world has an end date??

I DON'T KNOW just "how" the World will end...

BUT I DO have a rough idea of "when" it will end --
Approximately in another 12 billion years or so !
Most likely to be swallowed up by the Sun going nova..

AND I really don't think there will be any remnants of humankind left crawling around on this rock to worry too much about it, by then.. sunny

HUMANITY will probably have wiped itself out well before the next Big Bang comes around.

AS FOR asteroids, nuclear wars or anything similar, they might exterminate a lot of the resident wildlife, but none of those are really big enough to actually destroy this planet. And especially not any virus, bacteria or fungus..

As far as what we conventionally consider the "end of the world," i.e. humanity being wiped out, I would say the biggest threat right now would be global warming. But I don't think it would doom the entire species, just greatly reduce the human population.

A very very bad virus (man made or other) will kill off millions I think.....and the strain will die out rather than be cured.
Global warming will be the end of the planet though - but not for another thousand years or so.

it wont take that long as the sun gets larger it's gravitational pull will increase and earth will be pulled into it long before it goes supernova Cool

the world will still exist even if some sort of virus wipes humans out.

But honestly, i think we will get life off this rock, i think that is our 'purpose' and we will succeed.

WHAT A LOAD of populist conspiracist pseudo-scientific nonsense...

A VIRUS may wipe out large sections of humanity, but life will go on -- with or without mankind's presence..

AS FOR Climate Change -- if left unfetterred, mankind may well destroy itself if left for long enough, but it is simply 'against tha Laws of Physics' to think that "Global warming will be the end of the planet...". The Earth will survive for a while yet, even after Man has moved on -- Dinosaurs ruled the roost for over 160 million years; Man has been here for less than 200,000 years, and look at the mess that we've made over just the last 5000 years !

IF mankind doesn't get it it's act together soon, "Civilisation as We know it" is doomed -- but if we clean up our world, Man may well yet get off this planet before it approaches those end days.. How will the world end? 1191311443

1) Individually, the world ends, when we die.

2) How we though end up meeting that end. Is in many cases out of our hand and control, though we can influence how quickly that end may come.

You know, I once nurtured a deep and abiding love for R.E.M., until this little hottie in college made me feel ashamed about that. Well, it's time to get past that. I say we hijack this thread and make it into a tribute to the best jangle-pop band ever to come out of Georgia (U.S. state). I'll start it off:

I've posted this up recently!! . Jesus this song is just perfection....carries you away.

I also harbour a deep love for REM and a huge sexual crush on Michael Stipes
(Yes he's werid but hey, he's sexy)

by Syl Sun May 01, 2016 6:59 pm

He is mean and moody.....a surefire attraction for many women.

I think a great big asteroid will plummet down from the skies....Presidents and Prime ministers will be aware of it's coming....they wont let on because there will be no point in panicking people when there is nothing anyone can do to avoid it.

Once more the earth will be barren, then it will gradually come to life and start again....unless the sun has burnt it all up that is.

The end. Cool

Alternatively a superbug which is immune to all known antibiotics will gradually creep round all continents. The only people who will survive it will be the little known groups who live deep in the rain forests and jungles and are self sufficient.
So the world may not end ..not for them anyway. How will the world end? Tarzanswing

Antibiotics work very fast on me but hardly touch a friend of the same age, she believes she has become immune, very dodgy.

by Syl Sun May 01, 2016 8:31 pm

I had the flu this year....I had also had the flu jab but it didn't work on the strain I got.
I had to have 3 lots of anti biotics before it shifted for good.
I was abroad too so it was a PITA.

IT'S NOT the people that become immune, Stormee...

IT'S the bacteria that live within and on them..

APPARENTLY your friend has different strains mutating and evolving away inside her, to those that your antibiotics are knocking off.

Sorry to hear about your health concerns --- not quite what our 'GOLDEN YEARS' were what we'd imagined!!!

I'm sorry to hear that Nicko. Crying or Very sad

Forums give all of us a chance to be equal ....no matter if someone is poor, rich, healthy, ill, nice....or not.....to me you always seem like a nice fatherly man with often dry views on various topics. x
It does show though that behind every poster is a real life person with real life problems....I think sometimes we can forget that.
