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.

We are strongest when we are at our weakest. Only when we reach a point of great stress do we discover how much resilience we truly have. You may feel you are handling a situation badly. Given the circumstances, though, you could be expected to fair far worse. Don't criticise yourself for alleged failings. Celebrate for doing so well in such an adverse climate. You are about to discover that a brave step has been far more successful than you dared hope.

Depends on your defintion of "ending".

If you define "ending" as "significantly changing the dynamic of Life As We Know It In A Negative Way", then, yes, that's a distinct possibility: Global Warming.

As for the Biblical definition of the Apocalypse...

Darling, you don't ask a moral Atheist these kinds of things.

People point to the Mayan calender for this theory, but they don't tell the whole story.

Mayan, like other civilizations were speaking of Ages. This age and the next age and the next age... they all have certain characteristics.

If they are right, we will be going thorough a phase transition... a bumpy time as we go from one age to another.

We all die too soon but it's the quality not the quantity so tonight I'd like you to satisfy your wife properly unlike the last 6 decades.

No!
And if I'm wrong, at least I won't have to live with the consequences for very long, what with the world having ended.
