Don't worry, statistics show that you are more likely to die from a cow falling from an airplane than getting hit by a meteor.

People always assume that anything that hits the Earth will be raltively small.  But what if something hit Earth that was actually bigger than it?  *Splat!*

OH NO THAT TIDAL WAVE IS HEADED STRAIGHT FOR JAPAN.
Don't worry, the Japanese are used to this kind of thing. They'll have electricity up and the trains running again in about a week.

I personally only think the world will end when it's ACTUALLY destroyed.  If a meteor like that which struck the dinosaurs comes, I bet anything a surviving population of people will have already escaped into space.  And knowing people, we may come back to reclaim the planet.  Just an observation that I have a bit more faith in the human race than to think we'd claim a single event or chain of them as apocalyptic.

Then again, people are wierd sometimes.   :rolleyes

EDIT: HOLY!  Are they sure that's an asteroid?  That freakin' looks like a small moon.   :erk

I think the world will end in war. I defy anyone to prove that humans have more common sense when it comes to armed conflict then we did thousands of years ago. The only difference between then and now is the fact that we have much more devastating weapons now than we did back then. Mankind doesn't need any help from anyone or any thing to destroy itself.

I think the world will end in these ways:

1.Viral/bacterial Plague
2. Alien invasion
3.Famine
4. War
5. the Sun finally going supernova and either leaving Earth to Freeze, or the planet to boil from the explosion.

I agree with Aisha.  The world will never really end untill it's completely destroyed, blown to tiny bits.  The world may end as we know it, the human race may become extinct, but something else will survive, even if it's an amoeba.  It will adapt, multiply, evolve, and over millions of years, it will probably develop into some sort of sentient being.

This is no big deal. Earth Mark I already got destroyed a few billion years ago. Another planet collided with it, and the two merged. The leftover debris became our moon. Besides, we're way overdue for another mass extinction.

Indeed. Absolute knowledge is absolute destruction. Once someone fully understands the cosmos, they will end it, simply from causality and from the lack of purpouse.

But that doesn't mean we shouldn't strive for it. We need to end this miserable existence before the next big crunch gets us. So go, mathematicians!

im supprised not a one of theese ideas has anything to do with loki leading an army of flaming giants to smash everything, a wolf eating the sun, and armies of the damned sailing on ships made of toenail clippings (dont forget, prolong doomsday by trimming the toenails of your dearly departed before burial)


ahem, one of the most realistic doomsdays (and what happened after, 'doomsday' happens in the first third of the book) ive ever heard of was detailed in "hammerfall" by larry niven. set in the late 70s or the early 80s it depicts a large comet (COMET. NOT METEOR, NOT ASTEROID. COMMET) named after the man who discovered it (tim hamner) and everyone was excited that it would pass very close to earth so scientists could study it. during the hype jhonny carson had tim on his show and made the slip of calling it the 'hammer' and after that everyone flipped and caught was was called 'hammer fever' by running for the hills and buying all kinds of survival gear.

the scientists kepts saying it was a million to one chance of hitting the earth, it was close in astrinomical terms, but wouldnt even come as close as five times the distance to the moon. they then set up a joint mission between apollo and soyuz (this was back in the time of the USSR) to study it and send back data

the data said chances were a thousand to one of it hitting

then a hundred to one

they were relaying a warning to NASA when half the comet broke into giant chunks of ice filled with rocks the size of small hills, and the chunks struck the earth.  normally it would be considered that theese were fairly small items to hit the earth, and mostly water ice and not rock. the problem is the speed of the impact, insanely fast they spend less then two seconds in the atmosphere so they dont slow at all, obviously most of them ipact water. the heat produced was only about one fifth of the heat produced by the world in a year (coal, gas, buffalo chips, space hearers, everything) but it would be released in under five minutes.

the seas boil, the astronauts could see bare land in the middle of oceans where the chunks hit, and thats all they could see due to the clouds that arose. megatsunami eight times as tall as any recorded slammed every seacost, and in the following days would bounce to repeat thier trips five times. for four weeks a deiluge of warm muddy salt rain washed all the crops away and soured the ground for years to come. earthquakes shake everywhere and the entire ring of fire explodes as pent up energy from the fault lines are unleased.

most of europe that isnt mountants is in ruins, england dosent even have a clue there were ever building there, china and russia nuke each other. north africa, japan, southeast asia, every island in the world, and more then half of australia dont even show up on a map anymore while the middleast breaks into a war that will be fought with knives when the bullets run out

an ice age comes, the months of perpetual cloud cover reflect most of the suns light into space, the resulting snowfall will continue to do the same for centuries.


all that happens in the first third of the book, the rest is about how the survivors (it follows several individuals, including tim hamner, the senetor of california, a colnol, a gang leader, a sex offender, a nuclear engeneer, a hippie postman, a diabetic scientist, and a TV doccumentary maker all make the list) make thier way through the post apocalyptic world, realising how dependant they were on civilisation and how the hammer only ended CIVILISATION while it was people who would be the end of the world.  theft is the least of the sins of man, when gas runs out and half the country is underwater a little thing like a division of the US army turned cannibal is barely on the top five thigns to worry about.


now, dosent that make zombies seem like something thats 'doable'?

oh yes, scientists have found theres a really big asteroid headed for earth,. it wont be here for over twenty five years but theyve already have ideas on how to stop it from coliding with the earth. the scenario is theres a line where on one side itll pass harmlessly and miss the earth by a few million miles, on the other side it gets sucked into our toiletbowl of gravity and nails us. this particular asteroid is ONE mile inside the line, so we only have to move the sucker about a mile or so in one dirrection to be completely safe.

actually, even then the world will not cease to exist, if I remember correctly. the bits would eventually reform into the planet unless they're blown really far apart. at least, that's what I read somewhere. some site about ways to actually end the earth, and not just erase all human life.

Alright, here's the absolute end of the world:  Sun grows to a big red giant, earth as we know is destroyed by this is simple process, but I'll continue.  The sun then collapses in on itself and ethier explodes or implodes.  and bam, thats the COMPLETE destruction of the earth.  And the only way to achieve COMPLETE destruction.  All this other crap is just about the fall of man.

Piffle. Time it right, you could bounce the moon into the earth, shifting the earth's orbit into decaying into the sun.

Sure, it'd take some nukes on the other side of the moon to do it, but it could well be done.

or a god with a pool cue..

there are so many ways of ending human life on earth.. including some fantasmical methods.. i'll leave that to the imagination, however.. just bear in mind you don't have to kill a single person to wipe out the human race..  :U
