Until we either all kill eachother with nuclear weapons or the sun dies out. I'm hoping for the latter.

Species last on average 14 million years.* Just find out how long ago the human race began it's existence, and take that away from 14 million, and you have your result.

If we live much longer than that, then there's the Sun. In approximately 5 billion years, the Sun will explode and probably destroy everything in the Galaxy.

Then there's global warming. If we carry on this way then the result you found that I told you to find in the first paragraph will be wrong. If you read Julie Bertagna's 'Exodus', which is set in the year 2100, the characters live in an extremely small island due to the large amount of sea level rise, and many of them die.

I think the human race will survive a while yet. However how long the current civilisation will survive is more questionable. I can see us going the way of the Romans and the ancient egyptions in the next couple of hundred years unless we start taking more care of the planet.

If there remains peace among the countries and we are sure that no planets or objects large enough to cause damage to earth are not on their way, humans might leave till the end of sun's life, about ten billion years from now. Then, sun will be so hot it will melt everyting it its path including planet earth. We might witness the end of humanlife while we are alive! Imagine a birth of deadly virus with power to wipeout all lives from the face of the earth! We have yet to explore the space above us where a civilization much advanced than us could be headed towards us to occupy our land. Humans have become smarter but not enough to save its species from catastrophies. So the correct answer to your question is : as long as the all mighty creator wants or as short as the human race desires.

No creature on the planet is more adaptable than humans. For example we can live at the south pole and in the sahara desert. There will always be one or two that survive a holocaust of some kind. Then perhaps we may evolve into something else.

The only hope for humanity in that case is interstellar exploration and colonization."

True. I believe the only threat to human expansion is an airborne viral plague for which we have no treatment, but according to Darwin, there should be few who survive to pass their viral-resistant genes to their offspring. I think humans will die out in about 1000 years.

It depends.

We may very well go on forever, or we may go extinct.

An unatural way of going extinct could be a worldwide nuclear fallout, the natural way could be a giant Comet colliding with Earth!

Other theories is that the universe might not be infinite, so we could all die with a "Big Crunch", "Heat Death", or a "Big Freeze". Here's a link to theories on how the universe might end! Of course, these are only theories, it's also possible that the universe is infinite.

I think we have 102 year 4 months 3 weeks and 2 days left. Give or take a day.

If I'm wrong, I'll turn in my grave.

For about another 100 years. The world we have such bad weather, people who survive will be very lucky.

Given the selfish generations that have existed since the Baby Boomers, it would not be too difficult to calculate how long before the US will cease to exist. It may be thousands of years, or never.

However, given our greedy nature, nothing would surprise me.
