That will come like a thief in the night, but after that we will know.

It could be 28 minutes from now or 280 years from now. When the superpowers square off against each other in two camps, then come back and we'll talk apacolpse.

Until then, just think regional conflicts, wars between rump states, proxy wars and brinksmanship. If you recall the Yom Kippur War in 1973, a coalition of Arab States (Egypt, Syria and Jordan) were soundly defeated by the Israelis. That was a worse situation than the current conflict and it didn't raise a blip on the world war radar (not that it didn't have the potential to spark a global war).

The next World War will involve a nuclear exchange, how could it not. In the first 30 minutes, nearly a billion people will have been vaporised, mostly in the US, Russia, Europe, China and Japan. Another 1.5 billion will die shortly thereafter from radiation poisoning. The northern hemisphere will be plunged into prolonged agony and barbarity.

Eventually the nuclear winter will spread to the southern hemisphere and all plant life will die. You ask when is the apacolypse, you are asking when will we commit global suicide. My answer is it won't happen soon because the larger superpowers are more rational than the rump states in the middle east.

Our biggest risk is an accidental launch of nukes by one of the nuclear powers.

Time is measured in various ways, but most of them come down to these two: The first is measurement by some sort of activity. The other measure is less exact and that is psychological time.

The universe is constantly expanding, and in fact is expanding at an ever-increasing rate. It seems at this time that there simply isn't enough mass in the universe to halt the expansion and cause it all to collapse in a Big Crunch.

If that is the case, then eventually a state will be reached when nothing happens. Time will end there.

Psychological time is somewhat elastic. When certain events happen, people say all of a sudden things seem to be happening in slow motion. Other times, they say things were happening too fast to take them in. When you are bored, time seems to slow down. Likewise, when you are waiting for something you want to happen, time seems to slow down. As you get older, time seems to speed up. I'm 60 now. It seems only yesterday that my daughter, now 32, was born. I'll be dead before I know it (pun intended).

Time is not an object. It's ironic that when someone tries to make a picture of time, they use the image of a clock.

Time is simply how we refer to the rotation of earth on its axis, and around the sun, as well as the progression of physical events.

The end of time, which is impossible, would only occur when everything ceases to exist, not just here on earth, but period, where nothing exists at all, and like I said (Don't let this concept drive you crazy), it is impossible.

The end of time is not when a clock stops ticking because of a dead battery. A clock is just how we measure the progression of the day consistently. Time itself is not an object.

H.G. Wells has misled people for centuries. If we made a time machine, only events inside that machine would move backwards. The only way a time machine could travel through time is if it were to enter and exit a blackhole, and that would take technology thousands and thousands of years ahead of us. As well, we would never travel backwards (or forwards) in time and see ourselves, younger or older, because there is one us, and if we traveled through time, all we did is move forward or backwards in days. How would that make two of us? It's ridiculous.

If we had a time machine and entered a blackhole that scientists had determined contains a gravitational pull so powerful that time reverses, the shuttle itself would dismantle (backwards physical progression). So we would have to build atop it unnecessary components that would dismantle before the inside starts to, and make sure that the shuttle has managed to exit the blackhole before it is completely in pieces (and the pilots are infants).

Hi.The end of time (as we know it ) will happen when God the Father decides to send his Son back to the Earth to judge the living and the dead and reward or punish them for all eternity .When this will happen nobody knows.

The end of humanity will come many ages from now, I believe, we will reach utopia and live their for awhile. What ever the Gods choose us to live ultimately we will live, the importance of our own lives is to live the lives we want in correspondance with the ones that they want us to live.

in my opinion the end of time is when a person stops living, because after that time dosent matter
