[News] Predict the end of the world

[A mex eyecan]

i’ve just placed my first ever bet at a bookies. He was offering odds of 50000/1 that it will have ended by 31.12.2120. Just too good to ignore for me.

only caveat was that the bet was not transferable to anyone else.

he gave me a huge friendly smile when i placed £500 bet. Don’t see what he’s got to be so happy about, can’t wait to see his face when i pick up my winnings.

Vogons?

Why, has the Hubble telescope spotted a Vogon Constructor Fleet?

Far more likely is climate change will create anarchy and the collapse of much civilisation leading to billions dying. But nah, species will survive. The Rich Criminal species anyway, which will make for a delightful survivors society so I hope I go in the primary explosion!

According to weather boffins the house i now live in will be long gone under water due to rising sea levels in just 50 years ! unfortunately the kids will have to visit in full scuba gear to enjoy their inheritance .

We'll have populated many other worlds before the end of this one.

In the second second of forever
I thought of the pair of broken shades lying on the tarmac

In the first and final second of forever
I thought of the long past that had led to now
And never... never... never... never

Worlds fine. We're f*cked, but the world's fine

The world will end when the solar system ends, along with all the other planets; I'm glad most people realised that. There is this though currently this incredible human arrogance that the end of humanity is also the same as the end of the world. If you think that: bad news. If we wipe ourselves out by making the planet uninhabitable for ourselves the sun will still rise and the world will go on turning. Indeed new species will probably evolve that will thrive in the new environment. Fighting climate change is not 'saving the planet', it's only saving our own sorry arses.

What’s that got to do with the end of the world?

The end

Is there a prize?

Yes, its four free luxury seats on the last shuttle leaving earth for the new settlement planet of Haemorrhoid 1901.

[Questions]

Thanks
Considering you have me on ignore, you taking time out from your busy ignore schedule to not ignore me after all is a step in the right direction for your recovery.

Well, that’s you on ignore then ?

 

[JamesAndTheGiantHead]

Can someone please bounce this thread when it does happen

I’ve booked that restaurant ready. You know the one ?

Less than a thousand years for humankind. We're a plague to this planet.
Earth will flourish once we're gone. Animals will claim back the planet and several billions of years will pass before our sun swallows up half the solar system and then wipes out the other half going supernova.

 

[Winker]

There have been advanced civilizations on this this planet before now but they have been wiped out by natural forces like superflares from the sun or asteroid strikes knocking us off our normal orbit causing ice-ages etc.

No doubt enough people will survive to continue the human race and pass down stories of floods and arks to keep the memories alive.

 

[OzMike]

The world itself, possibly the 7 billion years as stated.
Human domination of the planet, about 1000 years I would say, once all resources and alternatives have been exhausted.
Wars would have taken their toll as well.
Could be a bit less if an asteroid strikes of course.

Yeah, ok.

To be specific April 20, year 12053. My guess is that it will be a huge asteroid that pushes the earth off it's orbit and the planet will eventually freeze solid in a sunless outer space between galaxies. The end for me is when the last life is gone on the earth.
