How, in the end, do you think the world will end?

[sparkleboy]

Seeing how things are going right now, i'd guess that either nuclear warfare+winter or yellowstone erupting does us in

note: for this substitute "world" with "all of humanity"

Every 10 years or so the main source of "Doomsday fear" changes (Russians, Nukes, new Diseases, Global warming, Islamic Crazies, etc), but it is always there if you look for it.
The world will not end, humans will survive...you don't get out that easily.

Basalt eruption, Super volcano eruption, Nuclear Warfare, Alien invasion, Asteroid/Comets crashing to earth, Massive Solar Flare, Reversal of Earth Rotation, Neutron Star, Exploding Supernova, black hole, sun companion red dwarf, rogue planet coming from kuiper belt, super virus, zombie apocalypse.

We using up the Earth's resources, natural disaster rippling throughout, or a supernova. Or maybe just humanity dying off.

[rohnearner]

When we talk about the end of the world are we talking about just the demise of Humans or everything else that exists in this world..! if we talk about just humans i'll say Humans will be the reason for their own demise..! but for the demise of everything else there will be a huge Natural disaster that will end it all..! but cockroaches might survive :p

Probably pollution. Spray a chemical that will get in the lowest life forms, to get concentrated on bigger life forms, and causing world wide chaos. Something like that.

[mamichula]

Or the sun will die one day, all life will die, and eventually the earth is going to get sucked in into a black hole.

global warming = global warming hoax/fraud

Probably and epidemic that wipes out a lot of people followed by a water war but that is due to the pollution caused by humanity in the years prior to that time and the rapid population growth.

that may be hoax but sea-level is rising along many coastal areas and that is a major cover for many areas.

Since the OP used the term "world" and not "earth" I'd venture to guess that it's a sociological question.

Looking back in time we can see the rise and fall of civilizations. The world has ended many many times in the past.

Bitcoin can help end this scam.

[blacksails]

The world as we know it will eventually end, however it might not kill all humans. We're like a disease that cannot be cured…
Most likely it will happen when we have depleted the earths resources or by climate change.

don't worry about the sun it is not going anywhere any time soon

I think our stupidity will kill us very soon, I think this century is the most vital for us, there are two many ways that we might kill our self with, one is already in progress aka pollution and destroying ecosystems and earth natural resources, this can and does trigger new virus for examples, the other is due to greed we might get to another world war. While natural disasters that can wipe us can happen, llike superventions, asteroids/meteorites, a gamma ray burt hitting us, ect ect these are unlikely and their occurrence is pretty low, and most of those are avoidable and humanity can surive if it decides to go interplanetary before it happen, but again human stupidity is preventing us from doing so, it is preventing us from putting in place a plan to deter asteroids heading our way, it is preventing us from doing space exploration on Mars from example and aiming high.....

I am not one to dismiss the beliefs of other regardless of whether I agree, but I do understand one thing for sure. Eventually the ability to maintain life on the planet Earth will dwindle and disappear altogether, and only if we can cast of the petty self-centered ideology that our species has so easily clung to, can we find salvation. If we hope to propel our existence into the boundless future we must cooperate on a global level in achieving more then just a bit of space exploration. We must eventually fling the remnants of our entire being into the "final frontier". I may not see the day and most likely none of you will either, but it is my deepest hope that our world becomes abandoned like so many nests after their baby birds take flight to see something far more expansive, beautiful, finite then we have ever come close to comprehending before. Its a big universe out there and it tantalizes myself at least with the majesty of discoveries that likely await.

Actually, Earth is heating up in parts of our atmosphere and it is scientifically proven. That is not in debate. What is in debate are the ways temperature is measured. Some parts of our atmosphere are heating up...some parts are not. So, scientifically, there are parts of our atmosphere that are getting hotter. Now, the debate is whether the atmospheric increases being measured by satellites and the land temperatures measured from the ground do not support each other...so scientists do not know exactly what is happening. Neither side is right or wrong. Which I tend to believe that our atmosphere has always been doing this, we just have never had the technology to notice. Now that we can take these measurements, scientists want to start arguing over the findings.

[nachius]

Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I've tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.

[noviapriani]

I think at this point the only thing able to stop us is humanity itself. Unless something extremely major happens like Yellowstone, or a new antibiotic resistant germ, we can't die off anymore. We can shoot a asteroid to pieces, or push it away, we WILL have a colony on Mars or the Moon by 2040.

[dubouis]

Maybe someone will forget to turn off the water in the bathtub and bubbles will claim the world!

[jodybay]

the world will never end only the human life has its end
if there is a doomsday then we will not probably see it as we dont know what will happen to us the next day
