The End of the Earth, how do you think it will happen? Options

[Frostedflakes616]

There are many theories on how the world will end for us, on how the Earth and us with it will be destroyed.

First Theory:
As you all know of the Big Bang, which is believed to be the start of the universe. Some say that the universe may go back to that little sized pearl and we will be destroyed.

Second Theory:
If you did not learn this in school, the sun is a star. And all stars have life and death. Their death is when they explode becoming a nova/supernova. Which means the sun will have one as well. They say eventually, the sun will end life and explode, destroying the Earth.

These are the two main theories that I know about. What do you think? Do you think the universe will go back into the pearl sized amount of gas? Or will the sun blow us up?

You decide. If you know of another theory, feel free to mention it.

My Opinion:
The first theory in my opinion is highly unlikely. I don't believe the whole universe will shrink back. If anything, the universe will keep expanding forever. I do believe in the second theory, but that will probably not last for another couple million or even billion years. If not that, we'll be destroyed by a meteor or colide with another planet, both seem to be unlikely. So if we don't get destoyed by another planet (by collision) or by a meteor, the sun will blow up on us.

Science lesson.

The sun isn't going to explode. You would need a sun with much larger demensions for an event like that too happen. Rather, our sun will do what most other stars it's size do when the fusion processes in its nucleus run out of fuel. This bitch is gonna expand like a motherf**ker! It's gonna grow because it needs to engulf things to fuel itself with. But it'll soon crap out. Most scientists speculate that it will engulf mercury and venus but stop before it hits Earth. It will be close enough to boil all the oceans on Earth, though. So we are supremely f**ked. Even if bacteria survived this stage, the sun will then begin to collapse in on itself because it cannot sustain its enlarged state. So bam, no sun= no light. No light = not a lot of anything.

im thinking the sun will die and so will earth.

either that orr...
global warming. if it dissapears, we'll all basically fry to death.

If global warming disappeared we'd freeze. Global warming is essentially the increasing amount of CO2 in our atmosphere. CO2 is an insulator that keeps heat in the planet. Take away the Co2 and we'd be cold as hell.

Eventually all life on earth will eventually just die, probably becuz of a huge ass war and using nuclear weapons and blow up everything on earth. I really just meant Earth the planet itself. Oh yeah I remembered, the name of the 1st Theory was called the Big Clap theory, or something like that. Where the universe just shrinks back.

I disagree. Even if nuclear war broke out and the entire human population died out, [Which is ALSO unlikely. I find it hard to believe that the whole human race would die out] small animals would still likely carve out a living. And if not them, then bacteria and aquatic animals certainly would.

If I were to pick a theory as to how ALL life on earth dies out...I'd go with the sun dying out though.
