When do you think the world will end?

Asked by elenamillaa (149points) February 26th, 2009

We’ve all been through the whole end-of-the-world millennium phase, and heard rumors of 2012 and what is to come. And, though it’s not completely predictable, what are your thoughts on the worlds demise?

I give humanity several hundred more years. Life on earth—a few extra billion. The earth itself, many trillion. And I don’t think the Universe will ever “end”.

I don’t think it’s an if.

Well if you have the understanding that everything in the universe has a beginning and an end, there is no “if.” We are born, and we die. So it is a matter of when for that, right?!

tinyfaery's avatar

No. I see the universe as eternal, having always been and will always be. But I’m just me. When I die, my perceptions are destroyed; the world no longer exists.

If anyone does know the answer to this question do tell – I have been saving several choice bottles of wine and it would be a crime not to have enjoyed them.
