No answers from those who don't know or think it will not end, or from those who say it's not important PLEASE. No philosophy or religion on this question please. I am only interested in those who have given it serious thought by now, and are able to envision how long the world will go on existing in actual time. Many Thanks.

The Ancient Mayans believed it would end around 2012 or 2021, depending on which historian you read. The Mayan calander runs out at either of these dates.
Other scientists predict the end of civilization within the next 100 years due to global warming, polution, and generally humans destroying the planet. These scientists do not predict the end of the earth unless it is pounded by asteroids.

The planet is estimated to have an age of 4.2 billion years and it is supposed to have only lived for half of it total life. So it is likely to be present for 4.2 billion years more.
