    I think it might have something to do with the sun.

    That it'll get warmer and warmer or something, spreading heatwaves and all that.

    That doesn't sound very logical

    Muslims believe that the world will end a completely different way. There'll be signs, like, the sun will rise in the west, and the moon in the east. There are other signs as well, like the angel of death will blow a trumpet that the entire world will hear. It's scary, really

    Rocks fall. Everyone dies.

    Actually, my mind is blank on this topic, but I can only hope of something mindblowingly awesome to happen, involving large lazers and/or aliens. I mean, exploding suns are just boring.

    I think I've read that in 50 billion years, the sun will collide with the earth O_o
    But maybe our grandchildren will have managed to live on the moon by then

    @Neph: Hmm...well, it's hard to believe. Especially when you've been taught something completely different

    Maybe you should create a disaster film about the end of the world. I know there are hundreds already out there, but Dan's Version hasn't been made yet

    Yeah if the world was going to end then it has to be something really classy to be honest.
    I agree with Neph that exploding suns and stuff are just to boring.
    If I were to die at the end of the world I want a big gun killing aliens heh ^^.

    Some say the world will end in fire,
    Some say in ice.
    From what I've tasted of desire
    I hold with those who favor fire.
    But if it had to perish twice,
    I think I know enough of hate
    To say that for destruction ice
    Is also great
    And would suffice. - Robert Frost


    I have no idea how the world will end. If the end of the world is the end of humanity, there's probably a couple trillion trillion trillion trillion ways that can happen, if it's the destruction of the actual planet, divide that by two.

    There are passages in the Quran about the earth purging the dead.

    To me it does sound logical.

    Various heatwaves have caused already many people to die in the past 4 years.

    The thing that bothers me is that, though it's logical, that doesn't mean it's going to happen. An equally logical event would be the earth and another body in space colliding, damaging the earth enough to either kill all living creatures living on it, or destroying it's very structure. For all we know, we're part of some entity's dream; maybe that entity will wake up, blink its eyes, and we'll be gone.

    The sun thingymabob is probably the way it will happen, since it's all scientific and that, and of course you know that scientists are never wrong!

    Other people have claimed that global warming is going to flood the earth and wipe out all traces of life.

    But I would like to see us all getting satanically murdered by alien tri-pods whilst playing Culture Club. Scary Movie 4 got it right!

    there sure is many ways that can happen and it's about what we mean by saying world will end.. if that is like the whole planet will explode the only way would be that sun explodes, or only logical way. and if you mean that all the living creatures besides bacterians die, the most recent thing that can do that is Super Volcano that sleeps in ~15km deep under Yellowstone Nature park.

    Yeah, the one under Yellowstone is a "Superculdron." That is a possibility.

    I suppose reading things over and putting some thought into it, I guees the sun one is logical as well, but then again we are talking about as long as 50 billion years from now. I hate to say it, but I think it's going to be the result of something done by humans that wipes this place out well before that.

    || Here, take a look at Yellowstone! It's harmless I tell you!

    Well... just watch out for the grizzlies.

    I'm not sure how the Earth will end. Too many assumptions. I'll stick with the popular one. Since our Sun is a yellow dwarf. And half its life expectancy (being 5 billion years or so...) being gone already; perhaps we'll be one of the lucky ones when it explodes like an atomic bomb on an unimaginary scale, we shall survive ? But perhaps by then we'll have the means to escape or have the preemptions thereof...

    I don't think the sun can actually explode...at least not in the way most people think of as being an star explosion (aka supernova)
    I read somewhere that the sun doesn't have the mass to do that, but I could be mistaken.
    I'm with the idea that that sun will expand into a red giant (swallowing/destroying the inner three planets as well as possibly Mars) and then eventually shrink into a white star. That probably won't happen during my lifetime and if it does...well, it'd be a unique way to die.

    I can see it now...hanging around in the afterlife...

    Spirit1: How'd you die?
    Spirit2: Gunshot to the gut. You?
    Spirit1: Lung cancer. How 'bout you?
    Me: I was cooked to death by the Sun when it decided to engulf my planet.
    Spirts1&2: *stare*
    Me: Haha! I win!

    At least, that'll be the physical end of the world, in my opinion...

    As for the lifeforms on it...*shrugs* Who knows?
    Probably some kind of biological pandemic...I mean, look at the various diseases/outbreaks that have popped up in the last decade or so...couple that with the increase of germs/viruses/etc that are mutating and becoming immune to the old treatments...hell, the flu mutates every year...
    ...next thing you know we'll have contagious air-born cancer or something.

    || "The sun is coming... The sun is coming..." Well the Sun won't *literally explode, (as is said / SP ?)... it will shed its atmosphere and form a planetary nebula. However, an explosion in space can't be constituted the same way as it were to be on Earth...

    Nice afterlife scenario, Wicked . . .
