Will the world come to an end?

Question

world as in the universe, not just human kind.

Answer 1

It depends... if you're viewing it in a scientific way, no, it will not, since the universe is currently expanding and will contiune to do so to infinite time...

Answer 2

Yep. Due to the steadily increasing temperature of the sun, Earth will be uninhabitable in around 500 million years when the carbon cycle shuts down.

In about 5 billion years our sun will swell into a red giant and turn Earth into a cinder.

In 10-100 trillion years, universal reserves of hydrogen will be exhausted, and new star formation will cease forever. The universe will go permanently dark as the last stars die out.

In 10^32 to 10^34 years, protons decay, meaning also that all atoms decay. If any life managed to eke out an existence to this point, it would go extinct from a lack of matter.

In 10^99 years, all but the very biggest black holes in the universe will have evaporated into super-diffuse, super-low-energy photons.

Things only go downhill from there. Check out the link below, it's a future timescale of the universe I compiled from a number of reliable scientific sources. It's an interesting read.

Answer 3

There are two current scientific theories about what will happen to the universe, based on things like average density and mass. The universe could keep expanding indefinitely, or it could eventually slow down and collapse on itself. Right now, it looks like the former is true since it appears that the universe is actually speeding up it's expansion.

People, the Earth, and the solar system are eventually going to come to end.

Answer 4

It's not only predicted the world (universe) will come to an end, it's mandated by the all pervasive 2nd Law of Thermodynamics (AKA: Entropy) and its corresponding corollaries found in Murphy's Law.

Answer 5

Yes...inevitably the universe will be bull dozed down to build a new supermall.

Damn rich people and their super mall candy.

Answer 6

In a more philosophical sense, it will end when you die. You perceive and belief is formed. As belief is formed, reality is created. When you die (from a logical, non-religious point of view), thought stops. With no thought, there is no belief and no self-awareness. No belief, no perception, no self-awareness --- no existence.
Of course, others will still be alive and, to them, the world will still exist (until they die).

Answer 7

Eventually yesssss

Answer 8

The world as we know it - yes!@

Answer 9

probably not, but all the protons are, I believe, supposed to decay in tentothethirtyseventh years or so. So practically it will be lifeless and dull.

Answer 10

eventually yes when the son of God comes
