It's strange that "sun blows up" gets the most clicks given that by the time that happens, the earth will be so hot that we won't be able to live on it... So, we'll be dead or gone from Earth well before the sun blows up.

Howcome the world running out of resources isn't a choice? with the current population growth and how fast people are consuming food oil etc It seems like the most plausible cause of the end of the world.

^a good list of potentially planet ending disasters.

I personally doubt that humanity will destroy itself by either nuclear war or polluting the planet and obviously religious raptures or apocalypses are just absurd, by far and away the most likely fate of the planet will be the sun obliterating it and if it isn't that it will be some other horrific cosmic event.

"Grey goo" is missing from the poll. As our technology becomes more advanced it will be easier and easier to cause an apocalypse. Eventually some fanatic will be successful and if mankind hasn't spread to multiple worlds by then we're fucked.

As time goes on, stars will continue to be born from gas clouds, but as they burn out, they will either stay behind as either dwarf stars, or in case of a supernova, black holes. Galaxies will, due to gravitational attraction, merge into local galactic clusters, which will move further and further away from eachother. After a point, due to the expansion of the universe, and red shift, no galactic cluster will be able to observe another.

With less and less free hydrogen remaining in the universe, there will come a time when stars will no longer be born. Eventually, the last dwarf star will burn out, leaving the universe in complete darkness.

Black holes, dead stars, and the occasional bits of rock will interact with eachother in such a way that eventually, most dead stars will be ejected out of their galactic clusters, leaving behind small clusters of black holes, which will merge into supermassive black holes. Eventually, even the black holes will evaporate, due to Hawking radiation.

The only thing that will be left behind is a diffuse, cold, chaotic soup of elementary particles, with the occasional stellar husk.

At least, that's how the world ends, if the universe is expanding.

I voted for nuclear but kinda regret it. A lot of these options will kill 99.9999...% of people but don't account for the remotely located people, like:
- remote island areas
- cruise ships
- war ships
- underground bunkers with years of provisions

Zombies and viruses will have a hard time getting to those areas.

I don't think humanity still will be around when the sun destroys the earth.
Not sure what will wipe out humanity however, propably astroid or somekind of virus/disease.

The sun won't expire for billions of years still, I think people underestimate the amount of time that is. Humans have gone from hunter/gatherer to current technology in like 1/100000 of that time.

It wont because we are apart of something bigger that cannot be explained by a bible or book. Cheers to the religious people though.

So many options, so few votes. Could be a nearby supernova or GRB. AI taking over the world and killing all humans. Some sort of massive industrial accident. But my favourite is an ecological collapse that wipes out bacteria crucial to our survival.

I think the chances of humans living to the end of the sun's life is almost nil. And if we do make it that far it won't be a problem to survive that too.

I honestly doubt humanity will be able to survive until sun's fuel runs out. That's millions of years. I'm quite sure we are a lot more likely kill each other with some ridiculous weapons, virus, asteroids, hell, even alien invasion seems more likely.

More like billions. We're talking about a million times the age of human civilization.
