how will it end?

[Da Orky Man]

Giant, sentient dinosaurs with a fascination of British culture from the future will go back in time to enslave mankind, making us their servants, with those who refuse to serve them becoming snacks.

What? I never said it was based on cold, hard science. This is all speculation

Well, in that case, us Brits are mostly safe. Sure we're all ruled over by dinosaurs, but we'll still have Doctor Who and tea.

I have summoned thee, o dark lord of threads! So that you may feed once again! We must bring your dark gospel of our superior foodstuffs to all threads, thus ending the world as we know it!

Very well.

My dark work shall now begin.

Ahem.

So...

About that weather huh?

Found this long ass quote that I think might happen in the end

"This end of the world will occur without noise, without revolution, without cataclysm. Just as a tree loses leaves in the autumn wind, so the earth will see in succession the falling and perishing all its children, and in this eternal winter, which will envelop it from then on, she can no longer hope for either a new sun or a new spring. She will purge herself of the history of the worlds. The millions or billions of centuries that she had seen will be like a day. It will be only a detail completely insignificant in the whole of the universe. Presently the earth is only an invisible point among all the stars, because, at this distance, it is lost through its infinite smallness in the vicinity of the sun, which itself is by far only a small star. In the future, when the end of things will arrive on this earth, the event will then pass completely unperceived in the universe. The stars will continue to shine after the extinction of our sun, as they already shone before our existence. When there will no longer be on the earth a sole concern to contemplate, the constellations will reign again in the noise as they reigned before the appearance of man on this tiny globule. There are stars whose light shone some millions of years before we arrived ? The luminous rays that we receive actually then departed from their bosom before the time of the appearance of man on the earth. The universe is so immense that it appears immutable, and that the duration of a planet such as that of the earth is only a chapter, less than that, a phrase, less still, only a word of the universe?s history." ? Camille Flammarion, Le Fin du Monde (The End of the World)

When that valcono in Yellow Stone finally erupts. Thats what my money is on.

Well way to take the fun out of this...

My guess would be asteroid since there's proof that there's one barreling in our direction, and if that one misses, depending on how the earth's gravitational pull influences it, it will have another go and try again.

I DID NOT APPROVE OF THIS SECOND TRY SCIENCE!

EDIT: Or a total financial collapse, and then everything snowballing from there. FUN!

The 2038 one right?

I actually thought even if it hits us... like it'll be bad, sure, but not end of the world. At least last I did research on it.

My understanding is that IF we survive the hit, and I guess it depends on how it hits us, then it's not gonna be pretty, and I believe a good portion of people will be wiped out.

 

[Idsertian]

About that weather huh?

I know, it's filthy right?

EDIT FOR LOW CONTENT: Typical British weather. Y U NO GIVE US WARM SUNSHINE? So, do you like, um...food?

 

[kommando367]

What I think will happen: nukes, nukes everywhere.

What I want to happen: epic 5 way fight between Aliens, Frost Giants, Demons, Zombies, and the world's combined military.

It's been really bad down our way.

Almost drowned when I took the dog for a walk

Yikes. It's been definitely trying to flood us out here, but either Leicester's drains are up to the job, or we're on a slight incline here, 'cos it's not been too bad in the way of standing water. Not like a year or two ago, where it was running freely down the road. Or back in 2007 when I was in Luton for a few days and the road outside the hotel turned into a small river.

Yes, rain. We do seem to get a lot of it.

EDIT: Yes! That's how it will end! With rain, so much rain! It will fall so copiously and so hard that it will reduce us to red rivulets running in the water!

Won't kill me.

I've got some awesome wellies.

I used to have wellies, they went mysteriously missing around the time I moved back to the UK. Of course, they could just be buried in my wardrobe, which is turn is buried behind about a half dozen plastic crates from B&Q, or whatever hardware place it was they were bought from.

 

[Rylingo]

I don't think we will end really. We will take to space. We will survive to the point were we can no longer be classed as humans. Speciation will occur thanks to the vaste size of space. Eventually all life will end unless we pull something awesome out of our arses which frankly isn't all that unlikely.

We will survive the hit, IF it happens. Humans are like cockroaches man, so long as the planet can support life we'll be alive.

It's still like what? 1 twohundredfifty million that it'll hit the planet? Something like that right? Like it's still huge in terms of winning the lottery, but low in terms of things hitting the planet... or has that changed?

 

[Imthatguy]

When the stars are right Cthuhlu will rise from Rh'ley and the lucky ones will be eaten.

What happens to the survivors is to horrible to mention.

The one that I'm thinking of has a one in a million chance, and if it misses, which it probably will, it will swing around and years later will have another shot. Whomever is left probably won't die off from whatever is going on with the planet, but it all depends on if the climate spiked so high or so low that nothing can live.

Just a guess on my part.

 

[Wintermoot]

i don't really care how it ends this will be my final moments lawl

coincedently I watched EOE yesterday.
I don,t really mind everybody getting hugged and turned into Tang now serious
either we nuke the shit out each other in WWIII or the sun turns into a red giant swallowing the earth.

Crap. I posted this in the wrong thread. I'll try to make this something more worthwhile.

Here we go!

Stephen Petranek's TED talk from 2002 [http://www.ted.com/talks/stephen_petranek_counts_down_to_armageddon.html] actually covers some interesting ones. Though the Large Hadron Collider didn't cause the Earth to collapse into a black hole. Maybe a future science project might cause some problems.

Somebody will divide by 0.

This will cause the universe to implode on itself, thus the end of the world. It's science.
