How long until the end of life on earth as we know it?

Question

It's at the back of all our minds, but when do you think it will happen? How does this affect the way you live your life?

Answer 1

No one can know that, that's what makes you want to live every day like it could be your last. Also makes me want to make sure to not be doing anything I would be ashamed of incase the end all of a sudden happens.

Answer 2

Man has been pondering this question for thousands of years. I guess it all depends on what you define as the end of life as we know it.

Things are getting interesting. As more and more people have ready access to biological and nuclear weapons, the probability that something big will happen in the next generation is much higher than ever before. I believe that there will be nuclear bombs detonated in the middle east in this generation, probably Iran or Israel or both.

But there will always be people in isolated pockets in remote places on earth that are very well protected. Valleys in mountainous areas are sometimes well protected and would survive a nuclear exchange. It's the biological weapons that can potentially destroy all mankind. If something is developed that is lethal and it becomes airborne, there will be nowhere to hide...

If you fixate on this issue, you won't be able to live a normal life. There is no use in worrying about things you have no control over.

Answer 3

No! It doesn't affect the way I live my everyday life! Anyone who goes around worrying about that kind of stuff all day needs to get a life.....they'll go crazy eventually.
And to answer your question, there have been SOOO many theories on that. There are so many ways it could happen, and so many times. Obviously there's no way to tell exactly when.

Answer 4

Well the world is constantly changing and our lives are always improving. Every day we learn something new, and that gives us a new perspective on life. Our mental philosophy, political outlook, and position in relation to the rest of the world is always morphing and adapting as well, so to answer your question, life as we know it is constantly ending and beginning again, only to end once more.

However if you mean when will the world come to a end never to begin again, well that will happen billions of years from now; nothing to worry about!

Answer 5

Who is "we"? Life as I know it ends every minute of every day. That's the blessing (or curse) of life; it's constantly evolving into some new entity.What do you know? What is the incontrovertible truth that never changes? We know nothing, and so life, as we "know" it, isn't even a possibility. Life is nothing but what we wish it to be. What do you wish your life to be? Make it so, or you've doomed your existence already.

Answer 6

There is a 1 in 45,000 chance that a metor the size of vermont could hit the earth in 2036.

Answer 7

I think that it could happen 20 minutes or 200 years from now; in other words, who knows? Either way, I prefer to live without regrets, and on my own terms. Conformity is for farm animals.

Answer 8

the world around us is changing everyday. thirty years from now we'll look around and realize that nothing is the way that it used to be. I dont think the earth will be detroyed though. I think human beings are a little smarter than that.

Answer 9

Well, you don't know when life is going to end, so you should live life to the fullest.
