      How the world will end, or how humanity will end? Earth as a planet will end when the sun dies…

      Well it wont happen for millions and billions of years, but we’ll eventually get swallowed up by the sun as it becomes a red giant at the end of it’s lifecycle.

      Long before that the world will probably kill everyone off with natural catastrophies due to global warming – something that we’ve created. So I think going green is probably a good idea. 🙂

      oh, SO many ways!! We can get hit by an asteroid (sort of like the possible end of the dinosaurs), the sun will explode in a few billion years (if we make it that long), we could all get wiped about massive geological activity (Iceland times a thousand) that kills off most of our food sources, or we could end up nuking ourselves into oblivion. Of course, short of the sun exploding, some sort of life will find a way. And maybe you all will grow up to be scientists who help us space travel or survive nuclear fallout or create world peace and save us 😉

      Well, officially we will be swallowed by the Sun! But, that is a very very very distant time (humans are likely to be extinct by then) so nothing for us to worry about. But, how the Universe will end is still under much debate by scientists – will it keep expanding, stay the same or will there be a ‘Big Crunch’?

      Well, I agree, the sun will expand one day and ‘swallow’ the earth.
      Apart from that I have not really thought about how the world will end … maybe a nuclear bomb or a big fallout could be our end too. But hopefully far away in the future! 😉
