Science-Based Predictions On The End Of The World

Have you ever tried predicting how the world is going to end in the future? Have you ever tried imagining how everything is going to dissolve to chaos, death and catastrophe? The “end” is a hypothetical future occurence viewed narrowly as the destruction of human race as a result of cataclysm. Predictions on the end of the world is a supposition assumed by many that often arise from religion, science and psychic judgements.

Religious predictions are claimed by different groups of believers and are frequently rooted from their respective ideologies. For Christians, the “Second Coming” is considered as a period in time when Jesus would return to Earth, save the believers and defeat evil across nations. According to Woodfuff (2011), the “Second

One scientific forecast presumes that as the sun ages and grows hotter, levels of cabon dioxide in the future would be too low. Innes (2013) asserts that in less than a billion years, carbon dioxide levels would be too unfavorable for plants to exhibit photosynthesis; therefore, any living organism would cease to exist. Moreover, the changing patterns of the Earth’s magnetic field is also a prognosis that scientists consider. Our planet has obviously decreased some energy that it stored in its original magnetic field. Barnes (2015) adds that it is alarming how the magnetic field is decaying 10 times faster and may decay even more rapidly in the years to come. Another predicted disaster is a meteor or asteroid that could possibly hit the planet. This extreme condition would result to an explosion with the power to wipe out all forms of life and even the atmosphere itself. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA, 2013) reports that an asteroid known as Apophis has a 2.7 percent chance of an impact in 2029 when it will fly near the Earth. This has scared many. Though humans are considered as one of the most triumphant life form, many respected experts in the field of science believe that hypothesized disastrous happenings should not be taken lightly for these have indeed the power to wipe out human
