When will the world end?

Question

When and how?

Answer 1

The earth will end when the sun enters the next phase of stelar evolution and grows about 200 times it's current size.
The universe will end a long time after that when it stops expanding and begins contracting until it collapses.

Answer 2

1. The 2nd Law of Thermodynamics states that the quality of all energy in the Universe is degraded irreversibly....the inexorable death of the universe is not only predicted, its mandated by entropy.

2. It's an astonomical surety that our Sun will supernova in a billion years, leaving the earth a burned crisp...

"How is it possible to understand life when the entire world is ordered by a law such as the second principle of thermodynamics, which points to death and annihilation?" This is what philosphers since the early Greek days have been wondering...

There are many forms of extinction you may not have heard of. For example super-volcanoes, the most destructive force on this planet. An eruption would destroy a vast area of land and trigger a nuclear winter. The whole of Yellowstone is a massive super volcano - and it is 40,000 years late in its cycle of eruptions. Scientists have been noticing some strange tectonic activity in the park…

The combined nuclear capacity of the US and Russia is more than enough to kill every human on this planet. Nuclear Holocaust is the stuff of nightmares but the Cuban Missile Crisis showed us how close we can come so easily. But there are little known incidents in which nuclear launches have been shockingly close, with no crisis elsewhere.

There is also the threat from bacteria and viruses. Bacteria are becoming immune to our antibiotics at a much faster rate than we are discovering new ones. Eventually we will have nothing left to fight them with. Terrorists and leaders of rogue states have long been trying to produce large quantities of tropical viruses, such as Ebola and Lassa Fever. New technology allows these viruses to be engineered to be more contagious, stronger and harder to kill. Their effect on the human body is already terrifying.

The Bible prophesises the end of the world in the Battle of Armageddon. Many scriptures in the Bible describe this event, and give clues to how and when it may happen. Several of them seem to point to a date of 2007 for the return of the Antichrist and the beginning of the Battle. They depict in detail how the Battle will be fought - it starts with an alliance of Arab nations invading Israel.

Millions could also die with rising sea levels. If the Antarctic ice sheet were to melt then sea levels around the world would rise by 55 meters, completely flooding hundreds of large cities such as Los Angeles, New York and Tokyo. Now there is a large amount of evidence that the ice sheet is thinning and global sea levels are starting to rise. With the predicted rise in global temperatures over the next century the rate of melting can only increase.

New experiments being carried out at a particle accelerator called the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) could have unthinkable consequences. There, and at other such places, scientists are attempting to recreate the big bang - the event that formed the universe. Some predict that they could cause a black hole which would consume the Earth, others that it could turn Earth into a planet of 'strange' matter, leaving it with no substance, and another possibility is that an explosion would be released from the lab with infinite energy.

The most famous example of an event that could cause Armageddon is a Near Earth Object. This term describes asteroids and comets passing close to Earth. There are millions of these capable of hitting the Earth with apocalyptic force. Impact would cause vast fireballs, huge earthquakes to ripple round the globe and towering dust clouds that would cause a nuclear winter.

Answer 3

December 21, 2012 according to the Mayan calender.

Answer 4

Depends on your religious, scientific, or philosophical beliefs. Scientifically, the world, as we know it, will cease to exist when the sun becomes a red giant about 5 billion years from now. Religiously, when God or Allah or Buddha so decree.

Answer 5

It could end tomorrow for us all with just a shift in our perception of rather we are material humans or spiritual beings.

And any ones world can end the moment they die. No one knows the appointed time.

Answer 6

No one know but the Father (God). I believe that Jesus is going to come back when God tells him to and it will be in the twinkling of an eye. I am not real knowledgable about the end of times according to the Bible but I would encourage you to read it.

Answer 7

Our world?
About 11 minutes after the sun goes out.
