10 Ways the World Will End - Notes from Documentary
• Asteroid
Asteroid hits making a 3-5kilometres crater that will instantly kill anyone near and the atmosphere might catch fire and cause world wide natural disasters that will slowly kill us.
• Robots
Robots will become more advanced and will soon become smarter than us.
This will then lead to them taking over and with no emotions to stop them they can cruelly take control for world domination. Destroy life forms.
No remorse. Makes human lives easier. Stronger than us, more robust. Lack of mistakes.
• Super Volcano
Initial eruption can spew thousands of toxic ash into the atmosphere.
Climate change. Chain reaction of eruptions. Not if but when.
• Alien Invasion
Aliens could be thousands of years ahead of us technologically. Come through black holes. 100 billion stars in each galaxy. Why would they be friendly. We could be insects to them as they are much more superior. The universe is dying. Only way to escape is to leave the universe.
• Big Freeze
The next ice age could happen at anytime. Global warming equals less salt water which could disrupt the gulf stream. There have been 8 ice-ages in the last 750 million years. Vegetation dies, we die. Hypothermia can kill us. The Northern hemisphere would freeze up. Only small life forms we haven't heard of will survive.
• Grey Goo
It will eat all carbon matter in path turning it into grey goo.
Nanoparticles that do a specific task. Microscopic. Clouds that clean the environment. Nano-bots eat everything in their path. Could be the future of health care. Repairing the body from the inside i.e eating blood clots.
• Nuclear War
Trigger-happy generals. A warning of the nuclear radars. Nuclear winter.
Climate change, could be end of life on earth - acid rain. Similar to the cold war of the 1950's. Lack of communication can set it off. False call wrong decision. Never guarantee that anyone has all the information to make a decision.
• Plague
Invisible. Mutated medicine. Fast reproduction. Can come from space. Short incubation period. Black death wiped out half Europe's population. Could be made in a lab.
• Genetic Engineering
Superior beings. No flaws. Can genetically engineer anything. Remove illnesses. Isolate genes that the DNA has been mapped. Superior beings will be separate from the humans.
• Earth Spins off Axis
The earth could spin off axis if it by a meteor. Ice caps will melt. Earth will gradually heat up causing places like Alaska and Antarctica to turn to deserts and barren waste-lands. Natural disasters on a massive scale.
Earth will turn into random parts of matter.
