First the bad news: The world is going to end one day and there is nothing we can do about it. The good news: We could have a billion years to enjoy ourselves here before that happens.
Humans have long been obsessed with "The End." Since the dawn of civilization, people claiming to know when the big day is coming have stirred up trouble, sparked panics and started cults. The latest apocalyptic anxiety is being drummed up by David Meade, a devout Christian who predicts the Rapture as foretold in the Book of Revelations is coming Saturday (what a bummer doomsday couldn't at least fall on a Monday).
There is no scientific evidence to support the theory espoused by the self-described "specialist in research and investigation."
There are, however, several scenarios in which humans could be wiped out. And even if we manage to avoid all of those, the sun will die one day.
"A lot of people have written books about all the ways that the universe can get us," said Richard Binzel, a professor of planetary sciences at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. "Fortunately those are all very low probability. But, the one certainty is that the sun will not last forever."

ReplyDeleteIn a multiverse such as ours one universe can end and the remaining universes absorb the impact without the occupants of Earth even knowing what happened.Sorta like owning a dozen corporations and bankrupting one of them.When one soldier in a platoon gets killed the rest of the platoon continues to fight in his absence until they either win the battle or lose it.Much can happen in our midst without us even knowing it.
