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.

we'll kill ourselves long before anything in the cosmos does.


it'd be a true tragedy, if we are smart enough to walk on the moon, if we are smart enough to build nuclear weapons. but we're not smart enough to save ourselves.

and psh, Gama ray burst are extremely closer to happening than the universe closing in. or the sun expanding/exploding. and its scarier. you'll literally burn to death. because the ozone layer will be completely gone. well first of all, on the first day of one happening in our galaxy, the sky will appear to have two suns, not one. this will cause the sky to be so bright, anything with eyes will be blinded. and on, lets say the 3rd day, is when the the ozone layer is completely wiped out. causing us absolutely no defense against the UV rays from the sun, and radiation from the gama ray. first everyone will look as if they have an extremely bad sunburn. and because of the radiation, your cells will lose the ability to be able to regenerate. causing your hair and your finger nails to cease growning. and even worse since the cells in your intestines cant regenerate either, you'll lose the ability to consume food or water. =/
scientist see at least about 2 of these a day in different galaxies. but what if one happens in ours?

so you can use your imagination. and this isnt even the nearest threat in the cosmos.

like i said, we're our worst enemy.

global warming is the biggest and nearest threat to man-kind right now. but i hate how people continue to belittle it. *sigh*
