Oh man this is going to be good!
When do you GUESS the world will end? Think it'll be in couple months, 100 years? 1000 years? Millions of years?

Will it be supernatural causes, nature takes its course, aliens blow up the world, nuclear war breaks lose and the world blows itself up?

WHATCHA THINK! :D

Well I think that giant insects across the galaxy will chunk asteroids at us. We will mange to blow one in half, but one half will be desintegrated and the other half will plow into the earth. I dont think that will kill a huge % of the world population. However, the next one they chunk will hit our moon and shatter it. The gravity affects of that will make the earth become too unstable to live on anymore. So at that time President Clark will order all Starfleet Ships back to earth for evacuation. Those that dont make it through the Stargate will have to live on Babylon stations and other such stations like Deep Space 9 if we can keep Darth Vador's legacy Empire from destroying them. Of course I think by that time E.T. will be more than a match for the evil empire and will wipe them out. Then we will be able to concentrate on Commander Will Robinson's idea of cloning those Aliens we beat on the 4th of July and sending them in boatloads to wipe out the insects that started all the crap in the first place!

So, may be the end of the world as we know, but the human race shal survive!

I think the world has already begun to end. :( Too many people take too much for granted. People are getting lazier and constantly want things done for them, and technology is making that possible. Soon, we'll all be mindless vegetables with robots running the world. Okay, maybe not, but I feel like each new generation is becoming more ignorant because you don't have to know as much as the last generation did to survive.

Which world?

lol

God will smote you all, because you're a bunch of weenies! This is just a theory.

PS: I honestly don't think the human race will ever be around long enough to be in a Star Trek/Babylon5-ish scenario, or travel the depths of space. I doubt we'd get a manned ship past Mars or possibly Saturn, or at least not past the outter planets of our solar system (Pluto and on), before time's about up. I give us anywhere from 100 to 1,000 more years, tops. I could be wrong, but I won't be around to hear you tell me. :-)

Ah, very nice. If I am the owner of the robot company, no problem at all. :D

I'd have to take a wild guess on this one and say Teusday.

NO. I believe there is a man called MSN will rule the WORLD:D

Is that anywhere near the day of Tuesday? :-)

According to some of the threads here, the world ended when Robert bought WHT.

Here's how the world will really end, allow me to play out a scenario, but I'll sum it up in three words:

"Leggo my Eggo!"

That's how it'll start... Mark my words!

it's the end of the world as we know it, and I feel fine :)

#kill -9 earth ;)


its not going to happen. At least for next 1000 years. and i am sure within next 200-300 years human will be on mars and must be having full knowledge of sun solar system.

yeah, its a different thing if in between some countries nuked each other then space project may stop. :o

hey, BTW, some companies in japan have plans ready for hotels in orbit. Wanna open one in partnership with me. ;)

It's 2002, so where's the flying cars? :confused:

The world will end when



function RunWorld($Count)
{
echo "World Running - ".$Count;
echo "<br>";

Count = Count + 1;

RunWorld($Count)
}

Are you bill gates?

In about 200 thousand million and 6 years, the sun will swell up, swallow the first 3 planets and then shrink into a small dwarf star. The reason I can be so precise is because I read this 6 years ago in a book where they predicted it to happen in 200 thousand million years.

I've always read that it's in 400 billion years that the sun will swell (we're about halfway though it's life cycle now at 4.8 bill)

That's when I think the world will end. I also don't think we'll be there for it, being a footnote in history a long time before them. Human beings are only around 40 million here's old from Lemurs (pick your favorite theoretical primate here) to where we are now.

The master species on the planet were lizards till 165 million years ago, but they got cancelled out pretty well. At that time most mammals were little larger then rats, to stay off the radar of large predators.

The first 3 billion or so years there was nothing here at all, short of a few amino proteins that eventually got sparked into single celled life. History is a mightly long thing. With the figures above we've already gone from feeding people to lions in stone gaming arenas, to the internet and dial-a-pizza in less than 2000 years (a blip on historys calendar).

So in all, the worlds got a long time to go, but as to how long we hairless monkeys will be around, is anyone's guess. We're the first species who can wipe themselves out by their own hand after all.

yes I know this whole evolution thing doesn't float everyone's boat - just my opinion

I believe in one thousand years, man kind may be able to build artificial sun powered by nano-bot which will open the new gateway to live on other planets which are too far away from the Sun.

In the meantime, for joking propose, the world will be doomed when Tim Geer and akashik become dumb. :blush:

It will end when the collective consciousness of humanity is uploaded to the net followed by a massive power failure.

Got to love those nano-bots. If they can build 7 of 9, they're capable of anything.

I think Earth itself still has a long ways to go. It's the people with these power ego trips that I worry about, the leaders of countries. I can see the human race self destruct within the next 100 - 200 years if things continue as they are now. We are our own worst enemy.

:) yup Back to the Future movies suck :)

I think the world will end in millions and millions of years. I think it will be because us humans drained the world of all the resources available so there is no way to go farther. But who knows, maybe then we will make some kind of machine that builds food and all the essentials in life from air.

I wonder if it is just me, but I really want to see what the Earth is like in a few thousand years and see how much technology is out there then.

Same. The watched 'The Time Machine' yesterday. Always loved that film and had seen the 1950's version of it a few times growing up. I suppose I'm greedy that way. I wish I'd experienced a lot of history that's gone before, but also some of the things that may happen in the future. The 70 odd years we get just doesn't seem enough.

Hmm having said that, there seems to be an irony that I spend so much of my time locked here in front of a computer... :confused:

I think that too... I don't like that I sit at the computer so much, I might be missing out on the things in the world.

And therein lies the irony. Being connected to the internet so much we have a huge resource of current events as they happen. I first heard about 9-11 on this same forum for example. Didn't believe it, so I double-clicked on the TV software on this comp and watched as the first tower had just gone down - all without getting out of this chair.

In all honesty, that a part of what I think will kill us all off. Being so insulated from the outside world you sometimes have to make a concious effort to consider that these images and text are affecting real people in some part of the world. As humans it's common to disregard that to preserve your own sanity, and for the most part it's effective against stress. The problem is, we get so much information sent to us on a daily basis, your mind becomes numb to what's going on *all* the time. I watch towers crumbling, nations being slaughtered, wars, famine, shootings, child murders, car jackings, bank robberies, rape, bashings, and a dozen other things that flow across my vision every day.

Does it affect me? Not as much as you think it should.
Why? Because it's on TV so doesn't seem as 'real'

In we're the vanguard for the way the world is going with our 14+ hours a day online I don't think it paints a very pretty picture of humanity.

Having said that, I'm aware of it of course, and make efforts to get outside. Step away from the keyboard. I spent a few hours today just walking around town, looking at things, talking to people, reconnecting with the human race. One of the best days I've had in ages :) Came back and here I am again though.

I really do need to get more excercise though :D

Greg Moore

My theory is that one day the universe will stop expanding and then there will be another big bang and everything will start over again. :)

It's not my only theory, though. :)

I have no idea when, but I know how. We have enough bombs on this planet to blow it up 10,000 times over. Humans are the watch dogs over this power LOL Man are we in trouble. Just a matter of time.

Cheers

I think the world and universe will end in the way they explained in the movie K-PAX (excellent show, go rent it from blockbuster video)

Life will continue to exist as it is for millions of years, the universe will continue to expand, until all at once it just....stops. The universe collapses on itself in a fury of nova explosions and blockholes and time itself stopping, everything will cease to exist. Then the big bang will happen again, and the universe will again start it's course over, everything will happen as it did before, everything the same, so if you make a mistake, correct it, instead of having to live through it and the guilt afterwards forever.

Just my little "moral-type end of the world story thingy of the moment" that i got from K-PAX. It's actually quite far-fetched, but we don't know what exactly will happen, until it does. Do you believe in fate? I do, though i dont like the fact that i'm not in control of my own life, that every turn, every decision (sp?) is only an illusion, a small work of art designed to decieve us into being puppets of some greater force, some greater being, something alien, something extraterrestrial, something.......unknown.

Thank you for your time. Even though these things are collected from books and the like, it still seems very logical to me.

No man knows the day nor the hour....

IMO, it may be tonight, tomorrow, next week, next year, ten years from now, or 100... maybe longer but I doubt it. Sooner, rather then later. :( But it is inevitable...

But I do know, it will be destroyed by fire.

It's a possibility that there may be a massive nuclear war and we all die. Then the earth just sits empty for a while until the sun dissapears. Unless ofcorse we move to another planet after we run out of resources on earth, and trash that, then move to another.. I have a feeling we aren't that smart though, and won't be for a while. Soon enough, humans will probably have adaptations for computer use. Like a hand with 3 fingers, and another with 104.

:cool:

Or maybe an asteroid would take the whole of earth out. In a sick kind of way, i'd like to watch that happen, instead of knowing it was going to happen a few generations away.

Mother nature will survive us no matter what we do to her. We can use all our nukes, wipe ourselves out, but another lifeform will eventually popup and rule the world as we have. Who knows, we could be the 5th lifeform to do so. Our science can only determine how old something is on earth since it's last recycle. What do you think will happen when we nuke it? All the earthquakes and volcanics resulting from that will recycle all land masses. A few million years from then, lifeforms will be posting on some sort of internet this very question. And there will be those who think their species was the first to rule earth, just like some of you here think.

As I said. No matter what we do to her, mother nature will always survive. Now what the universe does to her may be a different story.

I expect that i'll live to see the end... :)

I know not what World War III will be fought with, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones.

How do you know that? :confused:

dunno, As far as the world ending, it'll be a while. Humanity on the other hand is the one I care about. We're a lot more fragile than a planet, but I do believe in the human spirit and there will always be someone out there that can pull us out of the fire, so to speak. I think we'll do alright as a species. At least I hope we do... Hopefully they'll be a Kirk or Skywalker or Picard out there to save our collective asses in the nick of time. if not, oh, well, better luck next time... :)

have any of you watched that new si-fi on cinimax called Jeremiah

where a virus wiped out the entire adult population..........man thats a good show.
