alexrex Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 By the current state of things, I bet our civilization will end due to a mix between: Political conflict + Climate change effects + Pandemics, which will result in mass migration, famine and loss of ressources. Maybe not the end of humanity, but the end of our current era. As for the Earth-the planet, I think it will keep on until major phenomena happens in our solar system. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tusk Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 History has shown that the Earth reinvents itself. It's showing us this time with increased heat, flooding destroying land, and worsening storms. Climate will destroy civilization. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aston Martin Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 I'm guessing the planet itself will end when the sun runs out of hydrogen to fuse into helium and thus enters its red giant phase (where it will swell and could swallow the earth as a result). Now humanity? Either climate change, technology, or war. Hell, probably a bit of all three. And I'm predicting we as a species vanish well before the earth itself does. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aston Martin Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 I am going to try ranking the poll options from most to least likely imo. 1. Conflicts/World War III/Nuclear Armageddon (This happening would wipe humanity out in a matter of minutes). 2. Global Warming/Weather/Natural Disasters (Would take longer to kill all of humanity off than nuclear war would). 3. Disease/Pandemic/Virus (Covid showed that we are grossly unprepared for pandemics, and pandemics have wiped out much of humanity before. However, there's always going to be someone that has immunity for some reason so I think the chance of one disease killing everyone is pretty low). 4. Technology/AI/Robots (I think AI's biggest threat is leading to mass unemployment/collapse which would exacerbate unrest and lead to more war). 5. Space/Meteor/UFO (We have enough tech to deflect an asteroid's path and no alien civilization that can traverse the galaxy is going to need us or our planet for anything. And I think humanity will be long gone by the time the sun runs out of hydrogen). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welham Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 You guys do know that it will take the sun billions of years to explode/expand enough to end the earth, right? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saintlor Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 (edited) The world won't end. AI will create a utopia for everyone and will even find a solution to the universe collapsing and the sun exploding People will find this unrealistic, but it's not any more unrealistic than the fact we're here in the first place Edited May 15 by Saintlor 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IsidoraMarí Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 We'll have space hotels and homes in the next 20 years, humanity will survive. The Earth itself will only be "ended" with a Galactic invasion, but a natural ending when the Sun is dying sounds more realistic, although by that time I'd assume we'd be able to move the planet if need be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
