If we keep dissolving the ozone layer like we are doing now, I can imagine the polar ice caps melting sometime in the next couple of centuries. That will cause the ocean levels to raise so much that cities will flood and thousands of lives will be taken away. Then everyone else will die from skin cancer and extreme heat.


"... thousands of lives..." Compared to the total population, it's hardly a worry.

Besides, the Ozone layer can naturally replenish itself. I'm don't know the science behind it, merely that it's a widely held truth by many professionals in that field.

Obbi is over-rated.

uh oh.

But anyway... Um.... I just hope that earth lasts till they come out with Halo 174. If you dont know what I know about what is gonna be in halo 174, you are missing out.

there is a plan that i have been formulating to destroy the earth in my spare time ( dont say anything i know im seriously screwed up) Every American president has control of the military along with that is the final desicion in missle launches, Free will open fire etc. so i become president ( bush can do it i can (My IQ: 172 Bush's: -99999999999 ) backup plan charge into the Us militaries control center strapped with 30 lbs of C4 and KABOOOOOOOOOMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There is a God, and whether the world ends or not, he's in control, screw worrying.

I've been watching the 007 days of Christmas and here's my new theory,
first, James Bond will drink ALL the vodka martinis, shaken not stirred, in the WORLD
after becoming thoroughly drunk he will seduce ALL the attractive females in the WORLD
then bad guys will come and kill ALL the women he's seduced in the WORLD
then he will kill ALL those bad guys in the WORLD
then he'll blow up ALL the secret bases in the WORLD
killing ALL the henchmen in the WORLD

This will leave so few people in the world that we'll be unable to repopulate it because of all the unattractive women and profound lack of alcoholic beverages to compensate.

i don't think we are gonna die but if we do armageddon, 1)we won't do nueclear holocaust, 2)we will be away from the sun in 3.5 billion years, 3)highly doubt in the next hundreds of years but we will have a defense for it by then and a huge solar flare is like impossible from our sun, 4) i have no idea, 5)we have survived an ice age before we can do it again anyway we are in an ice age there isn't even supposed to be ice on earth and the only we will get extreme heat is if a meteor hits the earth but thats condraticting # 3, 6) i highly doubt aliens would want to destroy them if anything we would be friends, 7) yeah and like the universe in gonna collapse, 8) and what others are there


The universe can colapse, thats how (from what I've learned) it all started. With the whole sun exploding thing, their not talking about huge solar flares, their talking about the sun completely imploding. I don't think we have survived an ice age, I think that was before humans. Aliens not be mean??? Have you not seen Preditor??? Just kidding. I don't know what aliens would do so I can't say.


Anyway, the world will end when Bungie rules it and decides to blow it all up!!!!

It's a possibility the universe can, yes, but it's not considered the most likely event. The Hubble telescope has detected that nearly all visible bodies in the night sky are red shifted - this means that they are moving away from us. What more, the degree of redshift is steadily increasing - meaning they're accelerating.

It's illogical to believe that naturally accelerating objects will ever stop then reverse direction.

I am most likely wrong, since I have not put much thought towards such things. But isn't the idea of the Big Crunch, that the universe has expanded so much, that it cannot hold itself together, if you "has spreed itself thin" so it collaspes back into itself. So with the steady accelarationg, while it of course won't happen soon. Doesn't that just show one step in the big crunch theory?

I'm learning about the ozone in school and he is right the ozone does replenish itself. What I learned is that the air that we breathe is made up of 2 Oxygen Molecules and the atmosphere is made up of 3 Oxygen Molecules. The reason we are losing the atmosphere is because of of the CLC (chluroflorocarbons) in the air and it breaks apart the oxygen molecules so what it is doing is making more air for us to breathe. So naturally when we breathe air were making more atmosphere. Also CLC is made from fridges, ACs ,and other junk. So now if we stop using those things we will make our atmosphere come back and if scientists notice its thinning they will make a law so you stop using them till the atmosphere gets back.

Aliens are already here they just don't want to hang with us,
think of it, war, low technology, pollution, we're like the backwater truckstop of the universe

Alien #1: man, we got a busted engine, I doubt we can get another 100 AU's on this crappy thing
Alien#2:we can stop at that little planet and try to fix it.
Alien#1:are you crazy? do you have any idea what a dirty and dangerous place that is?
Alien#2:what do you mean? it looks nice from here.
Alien#1:*sigh* a few cycles ago a newlywed couple crashed there and do you know what those apes did? they cut them up and did experimants on them like they were some kind of animals, it's sick.

If we are attacked then all we need is a shotgun, a few cases of shell, and some jerky. Then...we hunkerdown.

Either the universe will stop expanding, and end in a Big Crunch, or it will continue expanding forever so the only things left will be a small amount of protons and neutrons. This hinges on whether there is enough "Dark Matter" in the universe to stop it from expanding.

How will the world end?

There will be a button to self destruct for earth and I will press it saying, "Ohh! what does the pretty button do?" KABOOOOOOOM!!!!

With the accelerating expansion it's believed a 'big rip' will happen. Things will be flying apart so fast that the universe begins coming undone. Even the primary, basic foundations of matter begin to break down back into the very basic quantum soup. Will these eventually evaporate into nothing? It's very possible.

Quantum ether dynamics offers a better solution for this, I'm told. A year or so ago I formed an email correspondance with a physics professor who held the belief that there was an ether - but it's not a widely held position.

Say Obbi, since you appear pretty learned on such subjects. String theory, I am still confused by it :P

Whenever someone asks me this question I just say:
"God will blow up the world when he wants to blow up the world"

Who cares who the world will end? We'll all be dead when it happens. Unless we colonize better planets that are cleaner and more beautiful, then we can blow up Earth for the 4th of July.

Don't mock me; you know damn well no one understands it.

I'm somewhat of a skeptic of string theories, multiple-dimension theories, et cetera. My withheld belief runs in something as simple as the argument whether .999~ = 1. Abstract math says yes. Rational understanding says no. .999~ is an approximation; 1 is not. Thus, one cannot equal .999~. Using math you know that:

1/3 = .333~
1/3 + 1/3 + 1/3 = 1
.333~ + .333~ + .333~ = 1?

I feel that higher-level abstract physics has the same problem. The math seems correct and points toward something that is nearly impossible to understand. Is the failure the fault of the human mind or science? Are our calculations overstepping the bounds of what we know?

I believe that may be the case.

Sorry, if you thought I was mocking you, I meant that you appear to understand such things most of most people on this forum. So you could help me better understand the theory. I am better at such things as writing stories, history, etc. Not physics and math, though I find it interesting.

Yeah, better planets! We don't need stupid Earth! Break out the A-Bombs!
