What events do you think will happen that will eventually lead to Man's Extinction?
doesn’t think it will happen


cause we’re going to make it
Reply:I think humans are going to end up rendering themselves infertile somehow. I don't have any idea how it would occur, but I think that's how we'll become extinct.





Perhaps a disease that damages the inner workings of our reproductive system, or a disease which renders a woman's womb incapable of receiving implantation.





There'd be an increase in miscarriages and babies born with serious health problems. That would quickly turn into no pregnancies occuring at all.





With no way to reverse the damage from the disease, and no ability to have new generations kept free of the disease (because there will be no new generations), we'd go extinct in a matter of 100 years.
Reply:Our advancement will lead us to a Godless society where the ignorant outweigh the intellectuals. Eventually the ignorant atheists will live a life without morals and eventually lead to the destruction of the world and the intellectual atheists themselves, because while the intellectual atheists appreciate the rarity of life, the ignorant atheists see no purpose and will develop a motto if "I am going to cease to exist anyway and if the end result is the same then it does not matter whether I die at 30 or 70" This lack of purpose and direction in their life will bring out the full aspects of Mans animalistic nature which will destory us all!!!!
Reply:I think that my personal lineage will eventually wipe out the "lower" life-forms competing for space.





Genocide only postpones the inevitable.








Dr. Yahoo, I'm fairly certain you took that from Terminator.
Reply:I don't know, but I can tell you all the possible ways. (I did a speech on this in highschool).





Black hole.


Meteor - Unlikely with our current technology. In 2036 we have a 1/1000 chance of being hit by one.


Nuclear War - unlikely or very likely. Kinda like if you put a bunch of people who don't like each other in a room, and give them all automatic weapons. If one starts shooting, everyone ends up dead. I don't think anyone wants to be responsible for that.





Flooding(global warming) - Would probably happen slowly enough that we would be able to adapt.





But honestly, if none of that happens, the sun will eventually supernova.
Reply:probably the same ones that caused mans creation!!








natural disasters..plagues. disease,general planetery evolution!!








*Is hopefull we can have the mental bravery to understand ourselves..before its to late%26gt;
Reply:There are a number of things that could cause our species' demise. I will sum them up, including in what timephrame the events would have to take place to wipe us out.





Nuclear war (Has to happen within the next 50 years, or radioactivity detection equipment will have become too advanced for any country to have secret stacks of nuclear weapons; United Nations would have disarmed the nuclear powers by then, for the noble purpose of world peace)





Still a very horrowoing possibility: a nuclear war could break out between superpowers, leaving a wrecked, contaminated, uninhabitable world in its wake. This war would either have to be between China and America, over some territorial dispute or some newly developed weapon that the other superpower doesn't appreciate, or it would have to be started in the Middle east, by some rogue state bombing israel or the other way around, culminating in a bigger war during which the western superpowers pick the side of Israel and the Asian superpowers pick the side of the Rogue states. Things could happen very rapidly then: a missile hits DC, or Tokyo, it develops into a revenge war, and when the dust settles, all that remains of humanity are some primitive tribes in Africa. (which develop into superhumans and do the BOOGIE! )





Comet, Asteroid, Meteor impact (has to happen within the next 100 years, because space faring technology is gonna advance extremely rapidly thanks to the European, Chinese and Japanese space programs starting to compete with the American space program, resulting in a race to mars, and extremely advanced space-faring technologies, making spotting and eliminating space-rocks a piece of cake)





Perhaps public enemy number 1: a big chunk of rock and ice, hurtling towards our planet at a staggering velocity (that means speed, you numbnut). Any rock of 300 meters or more in diameter could already cause havoc on a global scale, with anything larger than 2 kilometres causing the probable extinction of the entire human race. This scenario would probably go something like this: a group of astronomers discover a large space-rock heading towards what could be a colission with earth. After more research, they determine that the risk is too great to ignore. They inform the governments, who, at first, are reluctant to let out the news, afraid of panicking the people. But word gets out. Overall panick, but, not to worry: the governments of the world have a solution! For the very first time in history, all of mankind works together in order to try and stop their common enemy. Absurdly fast, the project starts to take shape. A giant spacecraft will head towards the asteroid and detonate, tipping the rock off of its colission course! As the zero hour approaches, all of mankind, united for the first time in history, watches, breathless. Then... KABOOOOM! Did it succeed? If not, all of humanity could die. If it did, humanity could stay united forever, this could be a huge step in our global bonding! War is never gonna return! ... yeah, right.





Disease, bacteria, virus (would have to happen within the next 200 years, because i sincerely believe that if we are not wiped out within 200 years, medical technology will have advanced so much that any microscopic threat could be eliminated quite easily, for instance with equipment that scans the entire human body for dangerous lifeforms, then eradicates them all with a very accurate radiation blast, system already being tested in the USA)





One of our oldest enemies, and certainly one of the most dangerous: bacteria and viruses, causing diseases and death. Some kind of ancient supervirus might wake up again, having slumbered in the northern ice caps for millenia, only to arise once more when the ice layers its buried in melt. Or some existing virus or bacteria could mutate into some sort of nigh-unstoppable killing machine, eating everything in its path, seemingly untreatable. Humanity, never having encountered a microbiotic life form so dangerous, panicks. The people who live in the areas that are affected first, flee to safety, taking the deadly lifeform with them. Before everyone knows what is happening, the virus/bacteria has spread around the globe, killing within very short time, causing a collapse of the economic, social and transportational structures. Frantically, medics across the globe try to find a cure, but they do not succeed. Desperate, people all over the world dig themselves in, to wait for better times. Within 10 years, it is all over. The human, once a proud and succesfull mammal, has been diminished to a few isolated pockets of at best a million survivors. Whether or not they can rebuild the world again seems doubtful, but one thing is for certain: life as we know it has ceased to exist.





ALIENS!!! Oww goddd, they are attacking! (could happen anyday now, and could happen at anytime in humanity's existance)





Laugh all you want, people, but every respectable scientist out there knows it: the chances that the human race is the only sentient, civilised lifeform in this vast universe, or even just our milkyway galaxy, is infinitely SMALL, if not nonexistant. Aliens are out there, thats as good as certain. The only questions that matter are: do they know where we are, and do they want to share space together? Alien races might want to attack and enslave or eradicate mankind for all sorts of reasons: fear for what they do not understand, fear for us becoming too powerful to control later on, a feeling of superiority, or a need for planets such as earth, which indeed seem to be hard to come by. If we as a species do insist on surviving and developing, and lets face it, its a possibility, then at one point or another, we WILL encounter other sentient lifeforms. It just depends on how diplomatic or military strong we are at that point whether or not we are going to survive this encounter.





Our sun exploding: no chance thats gonna eradicate us. We wont be bothered by the suns ending lifecycle for another 2 BILLION years, we will either be long gone by then, or we will have become so succesfull that we have spread to other stars, and watch the show from a distance.
Reply:Severe weather will cause an influx of snow and ice. Food shortages will be the big issue and change our life as we know it, but life will prevail none the less. I never rule out the possibility of an asteroid causing this either. If this is the case then most life would die.
Reply:separation thought system...will destroy US
Reply:A malfunction in the world nuclear arsenal will occur causing it to be launch and other countries will have little time to react to the launch so they fire a retaliatiory launch. Several nukes will make impact and will wipe out alot of major cities that they were programmed to be targeted during the Cold War. The world will have nuclear dust and the smoke will make pollution in the air and the O-zone layer will also be destroyed causing more UV radiation onto the Earth. The Radiation will eventually kill everything.





1st 6 hours - Worldwide panic, Looting, Riots


6-24 hours - Radioactive dust starts to spread across the globe by the trade winds.


2nd day - People starts to die, animal too


1st week - Half of the world population is gone.


2nd week - The sun is blocked out by dust.


3-4 weeks - Underground communities developed.


5-6 weeks - Most plants and animal dead.


1st month - Ocean is contaminated. Sea creatures die.


2nd month - Ice Age starts to begin as climate cools down.


1 year - UV radiation comes in after dust settled.


5 years - Underground communities might surface, facing a new world of Cold.


10 years - Everything starts to come back to normal, Water still contaminated. Parts of the world is now like desert.


50 years+ = New World maybe...
Reply:Well, certainly when our sun goes super nova, we're cooked. But, I think it will probably end, at least for humans, long before that; probably from something like a disease or change of climate (not this current 'global warming' bs) causing mass world-wide hunger.
Reply:Not a thing. Begining with Homo habilis, each species of Homo has become extinct, but always replaced with another. When Homo sapiens sapiens is extinct, another will take his place.
