How do you picture the world ending?

[Brian Hendershot]

"This is the way the world ends
Not with a bang but a whimper."

-T.S. Eliot

Cookie for a reference!

The Hollow Men, it was posted in it's entirety a few posts up, but here's the relevant bit

Here we go round the prickly pear
Prickly pear prickly pear
Here we go round the prickly pear
At five o'clock in the morning.
Between the idea
And the reality
Between the motion
And the act
Falls the Shadow
For Thine is the Kingdom
Between the conception
And the creation
Between the emotion
And the response
Falls the Shadow
Life is very long
Between the desire
And the spasm
Between the potency
And the existence
Between the essence
And the descent
Falls the Shadow
For Thine is the Kingdom
For Thine is
Life is
For Thine is the
This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
Not with a bang but a whimper.

Ah, didn't see it. My apologies.

I envision it the same way anyone should, IT DOESN'T.

At the rate science is going, anything that happens will be rendered moot.

Do you truly believe that? We now have guns that could blow a chunk out of the planet, do you truly believe our species can be trusted with that sort of power? If so you're a much more optimistic man then I will ever be.

My most favourite explosion:

 

[DoctorPhil]

The world running out of mana after a mana suplying asteroid flies away too far from earth.

 

[Jezzascmezza]

Nuclear weapons being fired all over the place and reducing the world to a wasteland.
I hate to sound pessimistic, but it's bound to happen eventually.

It gets towed.

All us bronies manage to use love and freindship to bring My little ponies into real life.
The resulting battle would be, tremendous.
Only Bronies will be spared.
Whos laughing then ay' haters!

Yeah that would be neat...

In a couple of millenia humankind will have died out, the planet Earth will live on and develop un-countable numbers of different spiecies through billions of years. Then the sun will have expanded enough and engulf it.
Life continues somewhere else in the universe...
