That's an awesome vid! I've never actually seen a comparison like that.Kmarion wrote:

We You are all going to die.
The Sun's magnetic poles flips every 11 years.
The world will end for all of us (Humans). We just don't know when or how. Our ego's make us complacent. Our time here is barely noticeable when placed into context. The Universe is expanding, it is in a constant state of change. Even if we avoid accelerating our demise.. it's still a one way ticket. Make the most of it while you are here.
Not likely. Pay attention to the end of the first clip.Poseidon wrote:

In 5000 years, we'll be traveling to other solar systems. There'll be over 200 billion humans. Humans will be so farly dispersed throughout the universe that it'd be impossible to destroy the entire race, unless like I said, some unforseen phenomena (gamma rays, universe collapsing, humans become infertile, etc) happens.

Great clips. But like I said, in 5000 years, we could even be traveling to other UNIVERSES (should there be any). Look how far we've come in 5000 years.Kmarion wrote:

By the way, in the second clip, he mentions long island having a particle accelerator...it's at Brookhaven National Labratory (my town), and I've seen it before. It's MILES AND MILES LONG. Here's a pic:
If you (or anyone) is ever on Long Island, go to Brookhaven lab. Even if you're not a science junkie, the stuff you learn there is amazing.

Other universes... huh?

Depends on your definition of "When the world ends"
It can either be defined as when all mankind gets wiped out, then I think about a thounsand or so years.
Or it can be defined as when the Earth itself gets destroyed, then I guestimate about 200-300 Thousand years.

I definitely believe there could be some. I think it was Animal House (or one of the National Lampoon movies...) in which one of the frat guys stated something around the lines of "Just on your thumb could hold millions and millions of universes with intellectual life just like ours...and we'll never know it."

i predict a 20% chance of sombody having fun times with nukes 30% of some catastrophic disaster (asteroid/sun exploding) 25% humanity surviving till the end of time 25% humanity surviving for the next 1-100 billion years
Well, in 5 billion years, the Sun going to go into a Supernova whether we like it or not.<SharpShot> wrote:

Question is - will we be alive for it, and will we be far enough from it to survive it?
I never rule out the unknown. I said not likely in my first reply. If you want to start making assumptions with space time (which is not linear) then not only will our world never end.. it never began . The idea of a parallel/alternate universe is hypothetical. The idea that our universe is expanding is a fact. Whether it continues to expand into nothingness (the first clip) or whether we collide back to the big bang depends on the battle between gravity and expansion. It wasn't until recently that we discovered that there are two galaxies colliding with the milkyway right now .Poseidon wrote:

large hadron collider
I think we'll evolve into superhumans with intense brain powers which are able to manipulate gravity etc before we survive 1-100 billion years. And the fact that the sun is exploding, and meteors becoming crashed into us isnt helping, either.<SharpShot> wrote:
