How do you reckon the world will end?

_JOE_ · 05-01-2008 08:34PM

Nukes...No...because you can guarantee there are bunkers out there to protect themselves...the US have Cheyane mountain...I reckon any eventuality will be out of our hands, an asteroid most likely...we've been far too lucky over the last hundred years...

Yeah I reckon its gonna be natural too. Even for a meteor strike there will be plenty of survivors in bunkers so Im going for the sun. Its gonna fry us good in a few million years.

It will end with a whimper. Our existence that is ...

Only our vanity dictates it should be something cataclysmic and spectacular.

Presumably on one of those picturesque worlds they go to that always contain Stick Wielding weirdos with bits of gold stuck to their heads.

The Thing will un-freeze itself and assimilate everything on the planet. Not even Kurt Russel will be able to save us this time.

been reading alot on this over the past few days on another forum, the mayans (they predicted solar eclipses to the exact second 2,000 years ago including one in April 1999) created a calendar but surprisingly there are no entries on this after December 21st 2012, many have predicted the end of the world on this date

Interestingly astronomers have predicted the plane of our Solar System will line up exactly with the plane of our Galaxy, the Milky Way, the first time this has happened in 26,000 years on guess when; December 21st 2012

Many are also claiming the approach of Nibiru (the tenth planet) which supposedly passes by earth every 3600 years or so and causes vast destruction such as the ice-age, great flood etc. Its orbit is so powerful (it is bigger than Jupiter) that the axis of the earth will change, blah, blah. apartently you can now see Nibiru lying close to the sun and in 2009 it will be clearly visible in the sky.....

not sure how much faith i put in the doom mongers in america who make money on this stuff but its still interesting read.

Sadly, a lot of our folk are already being wiped out by road traffic accidents, and will undobtedly continue to do so. Eventually our population will diminish.

Right then. I'm going to buy lots of designer clothes, go on luxury holidays, hire a few nannies for my children and get into really heavy debt and live life like a queen. It won't matter cos we'll all be dead by that date, won't we???? Definitely??? Hmmm.....

slipss · 05-01-2008 10:32PM

Maybe not the end of the world as such, but I reckong the end of modern civilisation (excluding the development of anti-matter power sources) might have something to do with what this talks about around 35 mins in http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-5267640865741878159&q=history+of+oil&total=1056&start=0&num=10&so=0&type=search&plindex=0

i think the most likely way the human race will be in the way of the film/book "i am legend"

mutating virus but there will always be people who will be immune.

but i think it will be a fairly tough task to wipe out everyone on the planet bar a serious physical trauma to the planet eg meteor or sun exploding.

"The last question was asked for the first time, half in jest, on May 21, 2061, at a time when humanity first stepped into the light. The question came about as a result of a five dollar bet over highballs, and it happened this way: Alexander Adell and Bertram Lupov were two of the faithful attendants of Multivac. As well as any human beings could, they knew what lay behind the cold, clicking, flashing face -- miles and miles of face -- of that giant computer. They had at least a vague notion of the general plan of relays and circuits that had long since grown past the point where any single human could possibly have a firm grasp of the whole.

Multivac was self-adjusting and self-correcting. It had to be, for nothing human could adjust and correct it quickly enough or even adequately enough -- so Adell and Lupov attended the monstrous giant only lightly and superficially, yet as well as any men could. They fed it data, adjusted questions to its needs and translated the answers that were issued. Certainly they, and all others like them, were fully entitled to share In the glory that was Multivac's. "

Some of Asimovs best work.

Actually, that's pretty close, in a few years from now, China will start running low on food, and try and invade the vast wheat growing plains of Russia.

Wow all those 1's and 2's!

I think your bro will declare himself the Antichrist on that day.

Davidius · 05-01-2008 11:41PM

Nothing we do anyway.

But for the sake of fantasy, the sun will grow hands and strangle the Earth to death with its mighty grip. We'll be incinerated within less than a second of course.

Clytus · 05-01-2008 11:43PM

I reckon mans messing with the nature will be our downfall. We now have gone to the moleculer level in our drive in improve what nature has already created ( GM crops).

Someday some nut will develop a weapon that acts on our DNA....a weapon thats complete...i.e no cure or antidote.

I also heard before that the earths Magnetic field is starting to weaken. Some theorists reckon the earth could be in the process of reveresing its Field....the results of which we dont know.

Then theres Cosmic bursts....unknown viruses.....sheesh!!!...theres heaps of ways we can go!!

But my money would be on Comet Collision.....have to say though....having watched the program on Discovery about what life would be like following a majorearth Impact....Id probably like to just be there for the show.....and be killed staright away. Wouldnt fancy the crap peeps would have to put up with following one!

666 is his number alright. I was just refering to the numeric coincidence of the date.

Also dunno about goodbye Russia. The Chinese may be more bark than bite militarily wise. Plus Russia may have some surprising friends to help them out.

I dildo of such epic proportions will be contructed that god himself will come down and kill us all!

We'll probably survive our galaxys encounter with andromoda in a billion years or so. But the planet won't survive the sun becoming a red giant sometime after that
