  1. What happens in the future?
  2.  
  3.  
  4. >I have compiled a list of all known possible events; it appears to be destroyed by Asteroids sooner or later mostly.
  5.  
  6.  
  7. 2017 to 2113: Asteroids.
  8. 2018: 24th of June, obscure crank Mathieu Jean-Marc Joseph Rodrigue ensures that doom is upon us, based on some middle school math.
  9. 2018: Hal Lindsey — the Third Second Coming.
  10. 2018: The Bible guarantees May 20, 2018 Pentecost, or your money back.
  11. 2026: More asteroids.
  12. 2028: Fred Clark — a tongue-in-cheek offer guaranteeing 15 years of Bible-prophecy hucksterism for four easy payments of $39.99.[80]
  13. 2030: Approximate date of a mass extinction event predicted by Bob Geldof. Myles Allen of Oxford University claims "Competing hyperbole" are unhelpful in understanding real climate change.
  14. 2035: Even more asteroids.
  15. 2036: Yet more asteroids.
  16. 2037: Hal Lindsey — First Third Coming.
  17. 2038: Deterioration of the fundamental older technology that still underlies the most crucial systems today.
  18. 2039: End of life, the universe and everything. Also known as the Ascension.
  19. 2040: Still more asteroids.
  20. 2041: March 35th Another asteroid.
  21. 2085: The original prediction for Nibiru's collision with Earth, later deprecated to 2012 for more profits prophets.
  22. 2106: Asteroids never seem to stop
  23. 2880: Asteroids suck!
  24. 8661: Updated end of the world date for the Church of the SubGenius (from the original 1998).
  25. 11103: The Doomsday argument, first stated in 1983, predicts that there is a 95% chance that the human species will go extinct within 9120 years.
  26. 40,000: In the grim darkness of the far future, there is only war.
  27.  
  28. Beyond 40,000: According to current models, the Sun is expected to increase in luminosity by 10% in the next 800 million years. This will cause several changes to the climate that will make the continued existence of life on Earth impossible, starting with photosynthetic organisms and eventually killing off all life.
  29.  
  30. The galaxy Andromeda (currently 2.5 million light years away) is expected to collide and merge with our galaxy, the Milky Way. This is unlikely to have much of an effect on whatever life is around, as galaxies are mostly empty space, although for any given planet, there is a tiny chance that its orbit could be disrupted due to gravitational tugs from passing stars.
  31.  
  32. 5 billion years from now: According to accepted models of stellar evolution, the Sun will run out of hydrogen in its core to fuse into helium and will transition to a red giant as a result, expanding massively. The Sun will swallow Mercury and Venus, and may get large enough to swallow Earth as well. Even if it doesn't, Earth will be roasted to a cinder crisp.[citation NOT needed] One school of thought predicts that the drag from the Sun's outer gas envelope will cause the Earth to spiral into the Sun, but as with all things scientific, there is another school of thought that says this won't happen. If it isn't swallowed, Earth will likely get flung out into interstellar space due to tidal interactions with the Sun and the Sun's gradual loss of mass once it enters the red giant stage.
  33.  
  34. 20 billion years from now: If the current rate of expansion of the universe grows, in 20 billion years, the universe could be expanding so rapidly that atoms will no longer be able to hold on to their electrons. This predicted event is known as the "Big Rip." Blame dark energy.
  35.  
  36. 3×1043 years from now: estimated maximum time for all nucleons in the observable universe to decay, if protons are unstable. Whether they are is currently an unresolved question in physics. Exasecond and longerWikipedia's W.svg and Future of an expanding universeWikipedia's W.svg have a pile of similarly apocalyptic events that actually have some scientific basis. This is the Total Existence Failure of the entire universe, anything complex enough to be considered life that would care about it would likely have evaporated to nothing long before this. Out of all the above, this is the most likely.
  37.  
  38. ∞th century
  39. The heat death of the universe is a scientific prediction that eventually the universe will expand so much it will no longer contain any thermodynamic free energy with which to do work. At this point the universe will be cold, dark, and essentially empty forever. That is, unless quantum fluctuations or some other phenomena eventually cause something to occur, like a new Big Bang. Forever is a long time, and this kind of physics is poorly understood at present.
