Will the world end?

and before i scientifically considered anything, i would know that i have an end, let me fix this first before i concern myself with the length of life of the world itself... for such a thought itself is an endless pursuit, a well suited distraction from the realities of death. learn all the facts and details of death, and u learn about the facts and realities of life

We'll all be dead by the time the world ends, so it means nothing to us really.

it wont end but we will have to start all over again.

whenever the sun burns out we will end....

An astronomy class is being held, and the teacher says "In 5 billion years the sun will expand to a size so big that all the inner planets will be sucked into it." A student starts panicking and yelling "OH MY GOD!" The teacher asks "Why are you freaking out? This is going to happen 5 billion years from now." So the student says "Ohhhh, I thought you said 5 MILLION years."

And as for those who think the world is going to end in the next decade, sorry guys, but the world has been around for 4.5 billion years. It's survived asteroids, comets, an impact with an object the size of Mars, cosmic radiation, just about everything the universe has been able to throw at it. You're not going to be part of the tiny blip in geological time when it ends.

The sun will consume the Earth as a Red Giant, but Mars may become habitable as a result. The habitable zone -- a band that the Earth sits in now -- will be right up Mars' alley.

Another likely case is we will have moved on to other parts of the Milky Way if our technology advancements allow it.

I think that humans will eventually die off from warfare or disease. I will give it another 100 years by the way things are going now. By the time that happens, my ass willl steal the space shuttle and head off to mars. ha ha!

Hopefully disease and other environmental stress will promote evolution in our own species and others.

That Mars you posted looks too dry. LoL

Try this one out for size! But it still needs green, if you know what I mean.

Planet Cannabis, formerly known as Mars.

Fuck ya! If I got there first, I would call it planet ganja, and only the vary best marijuana seeds from earth would be used. It would be the perfect society lacking here on earth.

Shit yeah. But it'd have to be land race strains, no crosses.

And crazy Undead from WoW couldn't be on the planet with us!
