It just fades like a f*ing frenchman.
If only it was Texas-sized.

I think a gamma ray burst aimed directly at earth within our galaxy would wipe out everything on earth including the plants. But yeah, I agree it would be really hard to do it with a nuclear war. It has to be something astronomical.

Well no what is going to happen is that the Sun is going to get so massive in its red giant stage that the Earth will be as close as like Venus. Nothing on earth will survive that.

End of Humanity: yellowstone park says boom, or death by nuclear warfare.
End of the earth: when our galaxy collides with another galaxy.

Somehow I think it will have something to do with with giant robots and huge naked teenage girls.

I'm pretty sure we'll be wiped out by an asteroid collision or something well before the Sun expands.
I suppose there's a good chance we blow ourselves up or something even before that happens. I dont think it'll be nuclear weapons, but who knows what sort of crazy technologies get developed in the next thousand years that could lead to extinction-level weapons.

Continue.
AFAIK that collision isn't due till long after our sun died out, earth will be long gone by then.

Gaborn makes a thread about a puppy that was adopted and lived with a good family and nothing bad happens.

I believe we will find out in 2029 whether or not we will be dead in 2036.
An asteroid is passing beneath our satellites in 2029, but won't hit the earth. However, we don't have accurate enough models to know if it will be affected by our gravity just right so that when it comes back again, its going to strike earth in 2036.

They were saying they can pretty realistically avoid that asteroid with a couple of unmanned things to go and fly beside it to change its trajectory. Or land on it..or something.

When they reboot this simulation (which has happened many times before).

I'm betting on a global mass hubris event in 2013 wiping us all out.
It's an old site that hasn't been updated in a long time, but here was a great writeup on various end of the world scenarios.

"You lot. You spend all your time thinking about dying. Like you're going to get killed by eggs or beef or global warming or asteroids. But you never take the time to imagine the impossible. That maybe you survive."

We should switch.
Even if civilization crumbles, as long as there are humans, we will be back. Maybe it would take a few thousand years, but we have too much planetary spread and accumulated culture to be completely reset.
I also think these types of scenarios are horsehit, and this kind of thinking his counter productive.
Keep your UFO cults and your christian doomsday rubbish. I am for the future.

We won't ever see the "end of the world." We will only see the end of humanity. And that will probably be a result of nuclear war or some type of war that impacts food and water supply.

End of humanity, probably 20-30 years time, massive Nuclear War.
End of the world? Dunno, at least a couple of million years from now.

Self-aware robots, most likely.
I thought it was getting farther away?
Thats what it wants us to think.
I know scientists say that it's moving away from the earth but they don't realize that it's just taking a run-up
Moon conspiracy, man.
