Four scenarios for the end of our planet
Nibiru planet X. Apocalypse the Mayan calendar. Split. New Great flood. An uncontrollable flame. Biblical prophecy. SUPERVOLCANO. A stray asteroid or a comet. Every few years (or even several months, depending on what part of the Internet you used to live) a new story, rumor or conspiracy theories are going crazy proclaiming the end of the world.

Some statements are very specific; others are more blurred. But we do not live in a world where myth and mystery prevail over common sense; we know that we can separate the wheat of truth from the chaff of myth, using the predictive power of science. And as far as we know, there are four scenarios for the end of the world, that is of the Earth, and they will happen one day, grandmother did not go. Ethan Siegel from Medium.com believes that this ultimate end, reports Rus.Media.

The biggest explosion ever on Earth. Nuclear war and the following harm to the environment — one of the possible ends of humanity

The extinction of humanity

This is not just a prophecy — it is inevitable. Despite the fact that today we have over seven billion people and this number is constantly growing, in current form, people are living less than a million years, and all the higher primates lived only a few million years. Evolution may seem sluggish current to our kind, if judged in terms of one human life, but over millions of years it becomes inevitable. The earth is changing and pressure for different types of changes also occur random genetic mutations. Some mutations that are useful for the survival of the species in the face of external pressures, and they are likely to be transferred along with the genes of future generations.

Speaking from the standpoint of evolution, human beings or homo sapiens has existed for only a brief moment: less than half a million years. And as far as known to us the path of evolution, a few million years of people on the planet will not

What part of the future generation of people will keep these genes — it does not matter; even if after millions of years the descendants of modern humans will still walk the earth, they will not be human beings. The people themselves are faced with the pressure changes of the planet with limited resources, other people (in the form of nuclear, chemical or biological environment) and nature (in the form of diseases). He will be at fault of the accident, the fall of the asteroid will occur or not, the end of humanity is inevitable. We just die out in this world, no matter, will live our descendants or not. In geological and astronomical scales, this will happen sooner rather than later, and will be the first “end of the world” for us.

Today on Earth the water in the oceans, usually boiling when it includes a bench or some other superheated material. But in the distant future of solar energy is enough to boil water on a global scale

Boiling the earth’s oceans

We are seriously lucky that we were on the planet that is of such size and mass with the atmosphere and at the same distance from the star, as it turned out. Just the right combination of all these parameters allowed us to develop a planet with life and large amounts of liquid water on the surface. Over billions of years the Earth was a world covered by ocean, with both simple and complex life that lived in the ocean and only recently got out on the land. However, due to the future evolution of our Sun, our oceans aren’t meant to be here forever. When the helium accumulates in the core of the Sun, the region where thermonuclear fusion occurs, will expand, with all the attendant consequences for us.

This slice shows the different regions of the surface and the depths of our Sun including the core, where nuclear fusion occurs. Time goes by, and once the helium burning region of the core would expand, however, increase the energy output of the sun

Over time, the Sun heats up and expands, there will become brighter and will emit more energy. After one or two billion years, not more than, the amount allocated to the sun will increase to a certain critical point: high enough so that the amount of energy that enters the water molecule in the ocean of the Earth during the day, it boiled. Our planet will become like Venus than Earth, and will become completely uninhabitable on the surface. However, simple organisms can certainly get along over the clouds, but known to us of life still comes to an end. Space experiment for growing complex organisms will come to its natural end.

After about five to seven billion years the core of the Sun hydrogen is exhausted. The inner part of the light will be reduced will heat up and begin the synthesis of helium. And then the Sun will expand, vaporize earth’s atmosphere and scorch the surface of the planet

Exhaustion to the Badlands

Thought boiling the oceans — is that bad? How about prospects that every atom of the atmosphere will be thrown out of our world? All living things on the surface will turn to ashes? The traces left by living creatures, will turn to dust? If there’s enough heat and energy, it can be done with any peace, and mercury, the closest planet to the Sun, is a Prime example. It will take another five to seven billion years — and the same fate will befall Earth when the Sun runs out of hydrogen fuel. And then the core will shrink, heat up and begin to synthesize helium, releasing even more energy. In this state, the Sun will turn into a helium burning red giant, and nothing on Earth can resist him.

When the Sun will become a red giant, the Earth itself is swallowed or absorbed, it will be fried

The sun will increase by hundreds of times compared to its current diameter and become thousands of times brighter than today. The earth will be almost completely shaven, and pushed away from the Sun; mercury and Venus will be engulfed by it. Later the Sun will die, reduced to a white dwarf, and Earth will be fried residue floating in space in orbit around the corpse of a star.

Even a single gravitational interaction with the large are masses can lead to the disturbance of the orbit and the emission of large bodies of the solar and planetary system

Swallowed or thrown out?

Purified of life, welded, and then charred and drained, sterilized quadrillion cosmic rays, our planet will continue to exist. She will remain untouched, wandering around the corpses of our star, until one of the following events:

Any object will collide with the Earth, destroying or absorbing it, depending on the size and speed of the collision. Our galaxy is a big place, but clashes occur regularly throughout the Universe.

A massive object will pass close to Earth, throwing her out of the Solar system and the galaxy, after which he would wander alone in the void of space forever.

Or she’ll be tied to the corpse of the Sun and slowly, very slowly, it will spiral down to the star troupe, which then will be absorbed by the black dwarf.

After the Sun becomes a black dwarf, if nothing is thrown away and does not face the remains of the Earth, gravity will push the planet with the former luminary

And that’s when the world will end exactly. All four of these scenario — not just talk, it is absolute predictions for the future of our planet, backed by our best scientific achievements. The distant future of the Earth is known; the near future we will have to create yourself. To create a future that is firmly entrenched in scientific reality, using the best knowledge and the most successful theory in order to ensure the safety, freedom and prosperity of mankind, is the ultimate dream of a scientifically educated society. It is hoped that we will be able to postpone the end of the world as far as possible in the future.
