So it's armageddon week on the History channel.
When will the world end and why? Go.
I would say the world will end when it no longer serves a neccessary function and the Sun is on the verge of death that the rest of humankind would make the exodus to inhabit other parts of the universe.
I overheard some inane chatter at a party that went something like this:
"So Nostradamus and the Mayan Calendar knew not just the year the world is going to end, but even the day. December 21st, 2012."
"Oh my God, four days before Christmas? Is that some kind of sick joke!?"
Meteor.
Skynet.
Large Hadron Collider (lol)
That would be crazy if they created a black hole and were like, "yeah man we've got it contained," but then the veteran scientist who used to be that crazy new rookie makes a miscalculation and the world is like WTFQuote:

but anyways, most likely there will be a couple or a few mass extinction events events before the earth is physically obliterated. and then there is always the threat that humans will somehow make the earth unsuitable for sustaining human life themselves. but until the earth is completely destroyed, life will always go on somehow as it always has.
it wouldn't happen like that.Quote:

lol science.Quote:

yeah science, which has yielded all the technology you use, which is extremely relevant to your daily life but which you are too ignorant and paranoid to even try to understand, is more laughable than your faith which is becoming shakier and shakier and yet you desperately cling to because you have nothing else in your poor pathetic little life.Quote:

I think she was (mostly) joking. Obviously he's a comedy/sci-fi writer, but he is ... or was ... also an amateur scientist.Quote:

I haven't seen it, but it seems more likely that he was trying to make them look scary by showing that they WANT the world to end. Possible?Quote:

but when one is a child, the world is seen one way and is in fact one way, but when you reach successive stages of maturity, the old world that you saw is no longer the world you live in, and the further down the road you go, the more the worlds you lived in previously, both your own perspective and the world as it actually was, ends.
yes, some of them said they wanted the world to end soon, but some of them merely said that the world was going to end someday without saying anything else, which is not scary at all and is in fact in accordance with what we have deduced empirically.Quote:

History channel threw out many options but of the few I found interesting I enjoyed this one the most:
As solar flares increase and the EMF of the earth weakens in what some believe preparation for polarity reversal we will be experiencing drastic lashes from the sun which may send our electronic instruments into disarray.
It will end in 2137, due to a giant butt knocking the earth out of its orbit and into the sun
a giant butt
Definitely PLAUSIBLE.
A lot of them also agreed that if the world ended due to some kind of nuclear holocaust they could believe it was gods will. That is scary.Quote:

I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.
I hope thats how it all goes. That way I get to use all my guns.Quote:

Do you mean uninhabitable?Quote:
