i was wondering what were your views on the End of the World. by the "End of the World" i basically mean the end of mankind.

by the way we're going, i think the world will fry up due to global warming within the next 100-200 years.

nah, grobal warming with stop the gulf stream by decreaseing the amount of salt on the sea.

this will lead to a new ice age canceling out global warming, giving us enough time to sort out our renewable energy policy

I'm think general economic slowdown, stagnation and lack of devolpment. We will now longer be creating new technologies but just making stuff bigger. Miniturisation will stop and the world itself will breakdown into waring faction with everyone regressing...not realy the end of the world but our future.

I think most likely is something hitting our planet, cant see our 'end' being man made

what about the thought that if the world is left long enough on its own, it will be able to regenerate? is this true in your opinion?

well, without us it can regenerate.

we are the mistake, if you will. We do not fit the pattern unless we are here to destroy nature so it can start over again...hmm, never thought of it like that. We are the here to kind of restart the planet, a kind of fail safe for beings that dont fit in with nature

So yes. it will regenerate but we must not be here anymore

.

I think the sun won't explode. Instead I remember reading that it'll become a red giant first before shrinking down. Everything on the earth will be melted, haha. This will happen in a few billion years, so no worries about that.

I believe the end of mankind will happen to many reasons: dirty politics, no more fuel supply, pollution, another great depression, and most likely, a world war to end all wars.

eheh well this topic has been debated god knowz how many times...

firstly, theres that obscure chance something like a meteor or aliens or wateva will come and destroy us [[not likely]] secondly, theres the global warming problem but no, us humans will find a way out of that [[prolly like pft said]] but my belief is dat were gonna send ourselves to hell wif nukes and war before anything else can happen to us. id say in the next 500 years we should be wiped out :D

about the sun thing.. itz a mainstream star so itll eventually turn into a red giant and will expand to about 99% of the solar system's mass before exploding in a nova and wiping out most of us planet dOodz :) [[we'll fly away on wOnderful super planes :blink: ]] den itll probably become a pulsar [[not a black hole due to its lack of size]] and emit so much radiation we turn into zombiezOids and hav eight legged wOmbats walking this earth [[but well be melted by then so i dunnO]] and then our belOved milky way galaxy will be its lair and be so heavily drenched in its radiation no other aliens will be able to discOver our remains and Sydney will forever be safe from evil green aliens.

o and the universe might hOrribly CONTRACT on us [[arhhhhhh so says the big bang theory]] but not for a couple of billion yearz so yea :) [[i dont wanna be a proton :(]]

my twO centz

The world ends when I die. As far as I'm concerned, the moment I cease to live, the world will cease to exist so that's the Armageddon for me.

So when your children and grandchildren live, it's okay for them to die along with the rest of the world?

reality is a subjective thing =_=

Radioactivity is pretty lethal... maybe that would kill off a lot of things? I'm not sure about the end of the world, though. I'll just think like Kou for the time being.

uhhh here's a scary thought but i believe the start of the end will happen in 2006..............i got my reasons -_-

When I graduate? X_X

i saw on the discovery channel that scinenst thinks the worl will end when ur galaxie hits this other near by galaxie forcing the planets and stars to collide and form total distruction...
that will happen in like about 2 billion years...

Scientists talk too much for their own good. X_X

Scientists help bring Knowlage....
Knowlage ish power...

Perhaps, but I'm kind of sick of all the "Scientists say that..." comments. v.v; They always say some damn comet will crash once its possibility reaches over 0,002%, and then some people go and mumble on that for some time.

Do some serious thinking, and you'll notice that there is no way they would announce that we will be hit by a comet for real, for that would only cause despair and people would go nuts. The government would not tell us until we all can see it. oô;

well....ok...it was only a point of view....

were tOo tiny to get hit by cOmetz anyway :) [[even if we dO well just err.. fly away?]]

I'm glad someone did his homework. :dots:

ô.ô;

Erm, it happened before you know? And look at the moon, those craters aren't there for nothing. In fact, one theory states that the moon was created when the earth was just a ball of molten stone, and a meteor hit it and struck a part loose from it which became the moon.

Oh, enjoy, an impression of the meteor impact that possibly killed the dinoraurs.

http://msnbcmedia.msn.com/j/msnbc/2076000/2076277.hmedium.jpg

It wasn't that big. :mellow:

When comparing the other moons and planets with Earth, you only see impact scars on the other planets. Earth consists of ~70% water, so most of our scars are hidden under the surface. A comet impact is the most reasonable thing that can destroy the world, if we're talking about a short period of time. (100 - 1000 years)

I know, but it's still a nice pic =P

Another reason why we don't have impact scars is because there are less impacts, most stuff burns before it reaches the surface.

the meteor killing the dinosaurs is still jsut a theOry [[even though itz probably true]] and if there were comet scars under the 70% oceanic waters theyd hav been discOvered. Echo sounding technology has been in use for decades and weve scanned most of the sub aqueous landz of earth.. thatz how they discovered the mid oceanic ridges and further developed the idea of plate tectonics.. but i guess there are small scarz that havent been much worry to scientists and havent been important enuf to tell anyone about :/ but thatz not likely.. angelic is right.. any cometz small enuf to leave unnoticeable scars arent gonna make it thru our POLLUTION riddled ozone layer :)

i dont believe all those craters on the moon were caused by meteorz [[unless there was some freak tiny meteor bombardment]] but come to think of it.. how did those craterz get there ? :think: maybe it was earths centripuntal forces pulling bitz off ? :blink: wat the.. unless the mOon realli was a part of the earth before it got lets say.. 'chipped' off. if it realli was molten then the meteor impact would have seriously defOrmed the mOon so thatd explain the craterz :think: but the mOon is wOnderful :) itz shiny ^.^

The craters on the moon are indeed meteor impacts. That has been proven like 20 years ago. Yeah, there is solid proof. They sometimes notice new craters appearing on the moon, after yearly meteor showers etc. (No, that won't kill us)

oh that does make sense... the moon is on the edge of our orbit so meteors wouldn't have the time to burn up before they impact but the ones that miss WOULD burn up before hitting the earth :think:

Actually it's just a dusty ball of stone flying through space.

A meteor killing the dinosaurs is indeed just a theory, but it's the most logical one, and there's a lot of proof that indeed a giant meteor hit the Earth near Mexico around that time.

when bush decides the only way to rid the world of terrorists is to nuke the middle east (since they are harbor terrorists) and nuke africa (terrorist training grounds) and asia (they sell WMDs to terrorists) and europe (they fund terrorists) and south america (bound to be some terrorists there somewhere in all that jungle) and then nukes north america as well (hell, he's killed so many people he's a terrorist himself so might as well wipe them all out)

Haha . . . as far-fetched as that may be, technically it might be possible. I'm just wondering how many nukes it would actually take to wipe out the whole world. Can't be that many, do you think? :think:

terrorists, no, but bush&#39;s not going to nuke terrorists. where would he nuke? the mountains? a nuke only has so much effect radius. and checkpoints would easily detect any chunks of uranium or deuterium made to deliver a decent-sized explosion and the equipment to trigger it. of course, if someone wants to make a small-sized explosion and doesn&#39;t mind triggering it by hand, that&#39;d be a totally different story.

<!--QuoteBegin-"Angelic"

an h-bomb is a nuke.

heh, well there&#39;s two trains of thought here... first is bush nuking the world (which I douby he would do except in retaliation) and the second is terrorists who are pissed at bush aquiring nukes and attacking US civilian targets (which is very likely)

Bush wouldn&#39;t nuke the world, China can shoot back at them, he would never dare nuking them.

please dont jynx it :unsure:

we could quite easily radiate this planet via nukes...all it takes is someone to fire one and everyone retaliates

Like the &#39;Sum of all fears&#39; but they actually retaliate

as i said before, it&#39;d never work because anyone that&#39;s worth sending a nuke to will have a decent missile defence system.

yeah, i surpose your right

i just wish we had a set date to work from for the end of the world...would make everything alot simpler, maybe even help bring humanity together a bit more

theoretically you&#39;d only need one to melt the polar caps.. then the rest just carries itself out :) australia would be the first to get submerged in water though :( or you could just use a really big nuke and bring about nuclear winter :) with all the weapons in our current world we could probably blow up thousands of earths :think:

Yeah, he picks on people that aren&#39;t really a direct threat to us, like the middle-east.
Nevermind that countries like North Korea have ICBMs pointed at our cities.

Bush likes to steal candy from little kids, but he&#39;s afraid of the bigger kids in town. It makes sense actually... why risking your neck attacking someone who could beat you if you can enjoy beating the crap out of weaklings?

man you people have a really intelligent president i mean wow.....hmmm i know lets see how he answers a question

George bush looks intelligent (http://www.kontraband.com/show/show.asp?ID=1525&NEXTID=0&PREVID=1529&DISPLAYORDER=20040810120259&CAT=movies&NSFW=)

ROFL

that&#39;s great

anyway, :offtopic: let&#39;s get back to discussing the end of the world instead of bush rants (although they are probably linked)

don&#39;t know. I just hope that when that happens i&#39;m already dead and decaying.

I&#39;m a christian, so I believe in the revelation. However, I think it&#39;ll be natural events happening over time (example: "The two candle sticks will fall", The World Trade Center in 911). A theory might be like terrorist groups in Iraq will get support from a powerful nation like Russia or something. Then WWIII might start, resulting in nuclear war. Or Machines might even turn against us and use the same weapons we use to keep peace to inniolate mankind as it is seen in the Terminator movies. Hunches? Yes. Will it happen? Maybe.

im a christian too.....when i said i got my reasons there sre several things behind them that are to freaky for anyone one to understand

You can try and explain it. :mellow: I don&#39;t know about the others, but I&#39;d read it with interest. The ordinary meteor and war speculations are too common to be interesting =P Now post your thoughts.

"I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones."

-Albert Einstein

I don&#39;t think it will be anything too dramatic. Given the way things tend to happen on Earth I figure the climate will just eventually become inhospitable to humans. Eventually there&#39;s going to be another ice age and although we have the technology to keep warm in ice it isn&#39;t likely that we&#39;ll survive with a shrinking area of arable land and a large population. To quote T.S. Elliot, "This is the way the world will end, this is the way the world will end, this is the way the world will end, not with a bang but a whimper."

ok now this one is more religion based.......

Everyone has been saying that in the end times the final pope will be a black one...and unless you havent notice the one we have right now is gonna croak any time soon.

so i did some researcg on the net and out of over 100 candidates i found this black guy from nigeria (where my dad was born) and his name was frances arinze (lets looks at the name f is the 6th letter of the alphabet and he has 6 letters in both his 1st and last name) you know how it goes 666 devils number

anyway doing more research i discovered that he was born in the year 1936 there it is again 3 6&#39;s ..........5 MONTHS LATER my dad turns round to me and said oh yes they was talking on the news how the person who was likely to become the new pope is frances arinze (now that scared the crap out of me)

so because the pope we have now is gonna croak soon i was thinking what would be a suitable time for this antichrist to come in.......then it struck me

in what year was the great fire of london (1666) *little bit of history there for ya*

and what is coming up 2006......so in 6th june the date will be 06/06/06...........and then what do i hear...........the guy who said he cracked the bible code said that the 1st nuclear bomb will be dropped in 2006

think what you want those are my resons believe them or not i dont care.....you wanted to know well thats it

If nothing would happen after 06/06-06, would you change your opinions about the theory of the 6&#39;s? Just out of curiousity.

id wait until new years day on 2007 before reconsidering

but seriously you dont understand how serious i believe this and how depressd i am getting over it.......thinking that i will never get the happyness of growing old with a family seeing my grandchildren........i may never get married.
for all i know something big is going to happen on that date that will affect my life. and im praying soo hard that i am wrong...but if not theres nothing i can do about it

im not usually one for believeing in that sort of thing.....but you have just officially scared me :blink:

Correct me if I&#39;m wrong but I was pretty sure that two nuclear bombs have already been dropped on people (Japan at the end of World War II). Also, saying that the great fire of London happened in 1666 establishes that 666 is an evil number is somewhat pointless. Many larger tragedies have occured and had next to nothing to do with sixes. Really, there&#39;s a tragedy as big as the great fire of London almost every year so that shows nothing. Besides, for the world to end there has to be a lot of things to happen and if it was going to occur in less than two years the writing would already be on the wall. The world is far less likely to end now then it was 20 years ago. Basing a belief on the end of the world on a number is really just pointless, the number 666 means nothing to people of a different belief so does that mean their world doesn&#39;t end?

It was his thoughts only, nonetheless what other people with other beliefs think. It&#39;s his theory of what can happen.

Pointless? ~ Give us a better theory then. You can&#39;t, since it hasn&#39;t happened yet, so there is no pointless theories really.

I&#39;m just saying that it&#39;s pointless because it has no real foundation in fact. If he says that he believes the world&#39;s going to end because of the violence in the middle east and the build-up of nuclear arms that remains from the cold war I can respect that. However, if it&#39;s a theory that the world will end based on the fact that there is a good chance the next pope will be black and that the date (as started from an arbitrary point) happens to read 06/06/06 I will view that as a bit of a non-sequitur at the very least.

heard and read a lot that stated that the end will be in 2027... well, pretty soon. mostly the all the bibles were decoded and this year came up.

On this cheerful note i would like to remind you that there is a 1 in 1000000 probability that the huge meteor sighted will hit earth in 2014 :) (almost in accordance with the Dead Sea Scrolls only 1 year earlier, just kidding ^_^) the chances are better than those of you winning the lotery&#33;&#33;&#33;

doomsday meteor.

of course that is not possible, but who cares?


and about the bible, since I am HALF ATHIEST, I say that there is no date for the world to end. Not even the bible can predict it. all we can do is wait and see. God might exist, got might not exist. we dont know. we never saw him/her.

half aethist? faith isn&#39;t necessarily inherited...

If Bush continues his presidency America will be dead by 2008. and how can you be half atheist?

I agree with Elite on this, its all just superstition, that 666 crap.

The end of the world? I really don&#39;t know.

topic revival....

well no one really knows, we&#39;re all just guessing....

we&#39;ll probably kill ourselves from greenhouse effect/global warming/no resources before the day when God arranged to have the apocalypse.
poor guy, he&#39;ll be so disappointed... imagine that you planned this great End for all Living Things where they perish utterably and it turns out you&#39;re late

I wonder if God will get bored after we die.. :think:

I believe God will re-create the human race (again). Or maybe start life all over with tiny organisms (again). Like a videogame, or the Matrix.

Why?

Second chance perhaps?

Anyways, I like what Noir&#39;s friend said (more or less): The world will end when I die.

The world may end to one person, but to others it may just begin.

OHHH&#33;&#33;&#33; I have a VERY good answer&#33;

A meteor will come down on us&#33;&#33;&#33; But we will not die...We will return to the Liftstream&#33; Ohoohoo&#33; And Cloud will save the wold by killing Sephiroth&#33; That&#39;s my theory and I&#39;m sticking to it...

I reckon the end begins with a cow farting...

Lamest answer ever.

Personally, I think that people only exist because they believe they exsist. Just like a man who thinks he&#39;s having a heart-attack will become so afraid he actually WILL have a heart-attack.
Besides, somehow or another everything will come back. If the world were blown into a million bits it would eventually come back together in space. Matter cannot be destroyed. It could take thousands of years for the world to re-form, but if there&#39;s a chance something will happen it will eventually happen.
As far as bringing people back....I guess you can only look at this from a religious view-point. Whether you believe in God, or the Big Bang, or whatever....Whatever started the world would eventually restart it (according to religion).

For example: Christians believe God made man with free-will to choose Holyness or Sin. Choosing sin made it innevitable that we&#39;re all going to die. It was His plan for us to choose holyness, though He knew we would choose evil. God would want to make our future selves better, so that we make a better decision in the next world. Like a script, life will eventually be perfect after enough editings and revisions. Since it was His plan for us to choose holyness, that means we will eventually choose holyness. Since this world is already sinfull, the only way to bring it back to it&#39;s innocent roots is to restart it........Meaning the end of the world is innevitable. Of course, if you&#39;re Christian you&#39;ll believe at the end of the rapture God will create a new heaven and a new earth. However, Revelations doesnt mention a new Hell. That could mean that this next time around we will be perfect...But He will keep Hell just in case we decide to sin. In the end, there&#39;s a chance that in the future we will be screwed, or maybe even forever screwed-over. But over-all, basic life will always exsist. There cant be "nothing".

The End of the World can be on tomorrow, no one will know.

Umm, hello, I don&#39;t know if I&#39;m the only religious one on this site or not, but please nobody shoot me for expressing what I believe... :sweatdrop:
All right. My church teaches that the end of the world has been progressing for the past two hundred years due to scriptural prophecy that has, in fact, been happening. Famine, Wars, Disease, Enormous Storms, all are supposed to increase as the end of the world draws near. (Which they certainly have recently-although I would like to say that the human race is almost intolerably stupid and unconcious towards the damage they do. Anyway.). At the end, the really bad guys are supposed to burn like stubble and the world will pass away in fire, then it will be renewed as Christ comes to reign again on the earth. (Those of you not Christian, please don&#39;t take offense, I&#39;m not trying to make you believe what I do or put down your beliefs or anything.) And all will be happily ever after, in a nutshell.
...If I sound overly paranoid about talking about my religion it&#39;s because one of my so-called "friends" blew up in my face when I tried to have a friendly, informative discussion. I&#39;m not a Bible basher at all and I was just freaked out when she started telling me how wrong I was and that I was gonna go to heck because I "wasn&#39;t right." :( Yeah, definitely not fun for me&#33;

The end of the world..... hrmm.

My theory states that anything can happen. So the end of the world can be either tomorrow, or 9127438 light years away.

Isn&#39;t the world everywhere? o_O?

For those of you who want to know my opinion, you can read the Holy Bible. Obviously I&#39;m a Christian, and that means most of you know what I&#39;m going to say. If you want to know really badly, then read Revelation in the Holy Bible. That&#39;ll explain it all for ya.

The end of the world is when you yourself passes away, then you wouldn&#39;t need to worry...of course it would mean the end, atleast the end of YOUR world

=&#092;

the end of the world will come once our natural resources are depleted that help keep this planet alive and the ozone layer disinegrates, that my friends is the vision of the end of the world...rawr :D

oil, the most important resource on earth
without oil= can&#39;t mess produce anything, e.g plastic, paper, metals, weapons, glass (no, solar energy wont be the alternative &#33;&#33;)
Ultimatly, Oil + intelligence = Control
killing two tower of people can keep the whole nation alive and on top for alot longer, all the US citizens should thank for the great plan
because IF USA isn&#39;t doing it, someone will&#33;
it&#39;s how the math on Earth works

as you might get my idea
Oil will be the cause of WW3, which will soon happen within 30~50years
by then most nation will have messive destruction toys, even by knowing the consequence
Revange, Pride, control, anger, hunger will eventually kick in for that one or more warheads to be lunched

if, only if we can actaully land on the moon, we might find new hope
or find the so-call God, the creator of earthlin-life behind the darkside of the moon XD

do you know why there were tons of wars fought for the sake of God but is actually for the sake of lack of respect and afraid of the different style, and money
bible have been revised over and over for the ease of control of the society for the one that is or the ones that are in control of the nation
also bible is bussiness that keeps money running and people believe they there will alway be one to trust and depend on.... is a set of rules a set of style that have been given by the creator

all the religions are the same, sets of rule sets of style are given
and evolve..... and so on.... mostly for the sake of control, and the group of people that are in control
theres no right or wrong in this world, only like and dislike&#33;

the quote&#39;s something like that.....might have gotten it wrong but i think it&#39;s right....

well people with the pope dead nows the time time to see if what i said comes true or not

What did you say? :huh:

its all back on page 4 my man............. i posted it aug 2004 and it hit me in 2002. so there&#39;s been such a long distance............but to be honest im not gonna be happy if im right in fact im really hopin that im wrong

You&#39;re thinking waaaay too much into this triple six business.

i know man...... but even still they should decide on a new pope in what 2 weeks time. we&#39;ll see. if im wrong im just gonna be as happy as the rest of you guys

As horrible as this sounds, you never know. Even if the next one isn&#39;t of &#39;African&#39; origin, s/he still might somehow not be pope anymore (all the possible scenario&#39;s, i leave to you to think of) and then the NEXT one might be of what you say. All before your designated date. :devil:

Anyway, In the words of the genius group known as D12;

&#39;&#39;I see the light at the end
But every time I take a step, it gets dim
Tell me is this hell we&#39;re livin in?
If so, heaven&#39;s got to be better
But if we&#39;re hellbound, whatever, let&#39;s go down&#39;&#39;.

that&#39;s scary if ur theory right then I would die before I graduated....sux if you think about it. There are so many people out there that are not enjoying their lives right now becuase they are working so hard so that thier future will be what they&#39;ve always wanted....it&#39;s all for nothing.

<depressed.

I know how we are going to die.
A big asteroid, comes downs and engulfs us into its mighty flames
women and children sing as they get blown to hell.
lmao

But seriously, I do think that we will die, some how involving an asteroid.
Or the sun&#33;&#33;&#33; the sun blows up&#33; -_- either way, I lived a long life

The world will end when the King of the Potato Men says so.

Not if we can fly to him on our 3 seater magic carpet to beg for our lives

The only thing we can do to please him is stop eating his kind. Especially the elderly and the frail potatoes that they use for chips in McDonalds.

And don&#39;t EVER complain about any form of potato being disgusting to eat, because that means his kind have been killed without reason and annoys him greatly.

So unless we stop eating his kind, he will end the world

If you mean The End of the World as in the extinction of human then there are couple ways, astroid hitting earth (not that likely), global warming etc...

If you mean The End of the World as in the extinction of LIFE, then the only way to do that is earth explode into pieces.

If you mean The End of the World as in the extinction of human then there are couple ways, astroid hitting earth (not that likely), global warming etc...


o well if that&#39;s all... :blink:

no way, there are more way to get rid of humans from the world...but usually it&#39;s WE that kill ourselves. Genocides, WW3, i don&#39;t know, use your imaginations lol

Whoa&#33; This is a really long topic, but it&#39;s also really good.

Someone said earlier that religions were all the same. That&#39;s way too true for the major religions at least. The final goal is always some kind of reward and to do that you have to be a good person.

Let&#39;s put religion aside for now.

Oil is running out, but there are ways around it. People are finding ways to harness hydrogen power to replace oil. Oil will run out by the time I&#39;m about 40. But scientists and engineers will eventually harness either this hydrogen power or find out a way to do nuclear fusion to create really cheap energy, so that&#39;s not a major problem.

There&#39;s always the possibility of a comet or asteriod, all that stuff. Not very big, ignore that for now too.

And all those terrorists and other guys, the world will rise against them eventually.

Natural resources are running out quickly and the world&#39;s population is growing rapidly. A lot is being done to save natural resources, but all those environmental groups will never be enough. Eventually, I think, people will fight over natural resoures and destroy them with nuclear and hygrogen weapons. These wars should be known as World War Something and will never end until the Earth blows to pieces.

Last comment: Darn you cavemen&#33; You discovered fire, the root of everything here&#33; Same to all the people who discovered farming, language, and all that stuff that sparked civilization.

the world can end a millisecond from now or 500 billion years from now but ithink we should stop givign a crap and lvie our lives. the world ends the world ends.

Don&#39;t live life in fear
for everyone&#39;s death is inevitable
if you know the world will blow up in 30 minutes
be thankful you had a life to live and enjoy

^ well said&#33;&#33;

me too. if i die, then i die. i wont think and i wont fell pain. its sorta perfect in a way. and if i wont feel pain, why should i be scared?

but i think we will end up kill our self. have you seen "Hotel Rowanda"? ( a vary good, sad movie...........i love that movie...) well in the genocide, people just kill. just for no real good damn reason. we might just kill our selves. or a nucleur (spelling) winter. did you know if 20 nukes are set off at the same time (or almost the same time) the world will die from (1) the explosion (2) radiation burns (3) no food or water that is safe (4) no one or where to turn to for help. the united states have more then 20 nukes, same with russia, china, england, and france (mabey N.Korea) that will vaporise the world if all those go off because of a computer flaw or haker.

I and I&#39;m sure others that have replied to this topic aren&#39;t afraid of the end of the world. Our deaths are inevitable, but how they come along is an interesting topic, well to me it is anyway.

From reading the posts here, it&#39;s safe to say that the most probable way of the end of the world is through humankinds own hatred. Something that can be avoided. I don&#39;t want to die just because of some stupid feud with conflicting nuclear superpowers.

Remember:
"One death is a tragedy. A thousand deaths is a statistic."

Our death&#39;s inevitable you say? Well wait till I&#39;m old enough to go to the most advanced and best college ever&#33;&#33; I&#39;ll study about genectic engineering and increase the lifespan of us Humans and decrease the rate of prematuring&#33;&#33; That way, we will live as long as 1000 year&#39;s&#33;&#33; But then of course, car crash, shot up, falling of a cliff, airplane going down...all those things I can&#39;t help but w/e, in the future, we Humans will become almost immortal&#33;&#33; :D

mwuahahaha&#33;&#33;&#33; yes........, that&#39;s the spirit my boy......long live us humans&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;
Pollution may be the most probable way to end the world. i would like to live longer, but 1000 years might be too long and it makes life look not so precious.

I agree that we just have to live our lifes(not that I like it cause it means we are backstabbing the generations to come)
Anyway, the earth has the ability to heal itself, but that will take about 200-300 years...meaning man kind can&#39;t wait that long and will just continue destroying everything.

PS:this reminds me of the legend of dragoon:we are the god&#39;s of destruction :D

....Are you trying to be funny? I&#39;m sorry to fuck your dreams up but it&#39;s not going to happen.

And all those accidents you mentioned, car crash etc., they&#39;re always bound to happen.

Anything is possible. Maybe when your reading this the whole world explodes. Or we might live forever due to a scientific discovery.

For now we do not know when will the world end, but we do know that we are making the world worse than it was, and that might speed up the end of the world. However we do not know if anything is impossible, so everything is unkown for the current being.

I don&#39;t doubt the fact that anything is possible. But it&#39;s very, very difficult to say that humankind will EVER reach immortality. The whole idea is farfetched, don&#39;t you think? I like to keep to the limitations of what I know, or what I think I know, and I am convinced that humankind at the present moment doesn&#39;t have the ability to be immortal. And I&#39;m convinced that humankind will ever reach that idea in my lifetime, or perhaps the lifetime of the human race.

i have to agree with you on that, at the rate humans are destroying themselves now, there is null chance of us ever gaining immortality

And is immortality worth it? In Greek mythology, the gods envied humans because they can escape life (or something like that). The divine became mantlepieces; things just there watching time move by. I&#39;m not sure that I want to live like that.

*agrees with^*

Life without death isn&#39;t life. The fact that life is limited and that death is around the corner is what makes life, well......life. It becomes more enjoyable knowing that we must take advantage of the time we have. If we become immortal then what would be the point of living or even progress for that matter seeing as we shall forever see time pass and see the fruits of our labor, and then what? What would you do? Your still alive, you will feel unfulfilled seeing as you live for eternity, forever stuck in the rift of life. All you would truly feel comfortable doing is to watch. Trying to find a way to fulfill yourself will only make you more miserable. They must have known that or felt that way to portray in their religion to take advantage of the time we have.

Well anyways, immortality may be gained eventually if we get technologically advanced enough in order to store an entire persons experiences then put it into a machine with AI. But it would seem to be more of a shadow. We may not reach that level though. We must get well beyond the whole storing data in disks. Of course I&#39;ve heard people only use 12% of their brains.

I wouldn&#39;t want to be immortal, either. The mystery of death is too intriguing for me.

Just to elaborate on the point made by Hiei and Sumutsi-Kigawa, theres no point in thinking about the far-off things. Like I said earlier, I tend to keep to the limits of my knowledge, I don&#39;t believe that the world will suddenly explode. Things get tense between governments at this time, but I have faith that they won&#39;t go and do something too irrational.

The thing is, how do you know that life without death isnt life at all? What is life? Things can happen beyond scientific reasoning, and we would never know until it happens.

But of course I also have limitations to what I believe in, so I&#39;ll stop at the point where i say "Nothing is Impossible" with a simple explanation, "There is no one who can prove that anything is impossible, yet they can prove that some things are possible in a certain sense."

I think it’s terrible that mankind is going to come to an end in a few billion years(astronomers said so) it may seem very long but it will come. All we’ve done is going to come to a waste. However, because we humans were first born by an explosion resulting in certain particles many years age there may be a possibility that that would happen again. But what bothers me is that we might have to go through everything again. What I mean by this racism (holocaust by Hitler, stupid wars, technology). Furthermore, humans now are to be forgotten , how sad is that? However we never know, if we are to be born again by an explosion , this human might might evolve in a better way than the human we are now had evolve(we might look better, more peaceful etc).

One way that I think can prevent this from happening is a time machine. But I’m not going to go on about that , it be too complicated.

nah, grobal warming with stop the gulf stream by decreaseing the amount of salt on the sea.

this will lead to a new ice age canceling out global warming, giving us enough time to sort out our renewable energy policy

I'm think general economic slowdown, stagnation and lack of devolpment. We will now longer be creating new technologies but just making stuff bigger. Miniturisation will stop and the world itself will breakdown into waring faction with everyone regressing...not realy the end of the world but our future.

I think most likely is something hitting our planet, cant see our 'end' being man made
Don't believe everything you see in the movies. The Day After Tomorrow is simply a film, not a futuristic account of the end of mankind. Besides, this theory isn't extremely likely because such a climate shift would take thousands of years to happen by which time the atmosphere would have healed itself.

You think that if we continue to advance or at all exist at this rate, we will still be on this planet in two billion years? No way, we've either become some form of supreme-evolved race and control the universe or we've blown ourselves up.


I'm personally not at all sure about the end of the world. I can quite face that eventually it will happen, but I don't see it happening for a long, long time. We will continue to advance at our fast rate until we could be considered fully advanced, on the Z scale of technology. Currently, we are on H of the technology scale. That gives you an idea of the posibilites awaiting us. Such things as nuclear deposition using the compressed matter of a black-hole, or controlling stars, planet allignment and indeed time itself. I think that our democratic empire will fall just like the Roman empire did - from within.

Alright, I have a new theory to post here:

According to the ancient Mayas of the Yucatan Peninsula, the world will end in the year 2022. Remember that the Mayas have accuratly predicted cosmic events, even up to the most recent ones.


This theory is the main theory I am concerned about. But,needless to say, I do care about the others.

@Fob
You stated that it would suck if the world ended before you graduated. Imagine how the final generation will feel. No matter when it happens, SOMEONE will end up dying before graduation. I think it is a little selfish to only consider yourself in such matters. But, nonetheless, all of us are entitled to our own opinions, and that is yours.

Actually, the move The Day After Tomorrow does have some true facts. The theory portrayed in the movie isnt entirely "false". If we dont do something with global warming now, the ice will melt and all that fresh water will mix with the salt water, therefore rising sea levels and potentially changing the flow of the ocean. It is very possible.

However my belief on the end of the world, is that humans will destroy everything, and everyone. Humans today are VERY easily to exploit. And they are consuming lots of natural resources. In time, all natural resources will be used, all animals killed due to overpopulation and demands for food. Then the humans will kill eachother for greed, power, weath, and etc. In the end there will be a few million humans left. But even with that amount of people they will not survive for long. We need people to operate machines, provide electricity, and etc. In time they will die too.

I never said the The Day After Tomorrow was false. I said that the theory of sudden climate shift will not happen, the north-atlantic current will not just suddenly disappear. It will simply weaken and give us colder weather for a couple hundred years.

Notice however that currently in the US that the temperatures are skyrocketing. take for example it is 106 in chicago last week. So yeah o_o

The temputure will never go down, but will always go up. Its going up at a semi-steady rate, so it may give a chance for the world to adapt to the harsh temputure. But if it goes up to fast, we may be able to withstand the heat.

According to what I herd on the TV, this decade is the hottest decade in thousands of years, and to tell the truth, I dont think its because of the green house affect or any other 'green peace' type thing for one reason:

We havent been giving off alot of pollutants to do so. A volcano gives off the same gasses known to make the 'green house affect' and other things like that. But the amount it gives off is about the same amount we would give off through pollutants in 1000 year, but at this rate. And through out earths history, there has been probably over 1,000,000 valcano erputions. For us to give off the same amount as those 1,000,000 valcanos, it would take 1,000,000,000 years of what we are doing right now!
And people are complaining we are doing somthing wrong with cars and stuff, causing our own deaths in the FAR future. Its been 50 years of some-what mass polluting, so that would equal to a valcano erpution 1/20 the size of an average erupton.

So if anyones to blame for o-zone related affects, blame valcanos!

^... That has to be one of the most ridiculous opinions I've ever read.

Why do you think they had the Kyoto Treaty? Volcanoes have been around for a lot longer than us, and early earth was unbearably hot.

But what bothers me is that we might have to go through everything again. What I mean by this racism (holocaust by Hitler, stupid wars, technology). Furthermore, humans now are to be forgotten , how sad is that? However we never know, if we are to be born again by an explosion , this human might might evolve in a better way than the human we are now had evolve(we might look better, more peaceful etc).

Will we evolve? But that would mean we would have to adapt first. We can do it, just like many times before.

Oh well, atleast we'll all drown with a sun-tan. :rolleyes:

i rekon we'll all go through another ice age and then get taken over by aliens from mars or some other planet or galaxy or something. I just hope that happens after I die :P

:lol:

I can think of how the world will end,and it involves everything,giant robots,naked people and even a fat cat ^_^

I dunno why, but I keep thinking the world will end by a meteor hitting the moon strong enough for it to set course on earth, then the moon will break and seperate and hit parts of the earth then the meteor will fall also and rid the world then. Bingo. it's a long process but it'll do the job. XD
