End of humans

I'm not sure it is inevitable. I certainly think our species will end. There are so many means by which this could happen. We could possibly know when if we knew how. If we could predict the path of an asteroid or something, we could indeed escape (not quite right now, as science gets no money from the govvies, but maybe eventually). I think, however, that our species will come to an end much sooner than that. I certainly think that even if there is no end to humans, there will be an end to humans "on earth." I don't know how much credibility there is to the 2012 theory, but it may be very much so due to the extremely odd nature of its simultaneous appearance in China, Mexico, and Europe without their knowledge of one another's discoveries. There is some scientific data to support it, but I'm not quite sure what all of it is. Either way, there will be an end to the earth. As to whether or not humans die out before, I don't really know. I should think we would die out before. If, however, there is a changing trend towards scientific improvements before the sun starts to die out (or we're hit by an asteroid or have a nuclear war or something else of that nature), we may indeed colonize other planets or systems. I think it is possible by scientific means to eventually extend human life to be infinite (unless of course by extreme events, such as a car crash). This would be accomplished by speeding up enzymatic processes to heal the body quicker than it degenerates or to create new enzymes. This would increase the amount of humans to the point that maybe we would start looking for ways to colonize new planets (if we even get this far). Were we to colonize new planets successfully, we would then rapidly advance scientifically solely due to the vast amount of knowledge and understanding of the universe needed to colonize and travel from planet to planet. If the universe is indeed infinite or ever-expanding, we need not worry at this point. We would need to find more means of energy. If the universe is ever-expanding, it's quite possible we would need a means of creating heat without the universe's interference if this is possible (it may be if we can manipulate creation of particles that are hidden with their anti-particle pairs). We could turn the particle into energy, knowing that particles give off far more energy than their mass due to E=mc^2, if new physics laws in quantum don't nullify this law. We would need to create heat because an ever-expanding universe would eventually possibly reach a temperature quite near that of absolute zero, while not exactly ever reaching it. If the universe becomes too dense, however, and collapses, humans would quite possibly not be able to end it's collapse (certainly not without the most advanced science). We may not even be able to ever understand science beyond a certain point, however, unless our brains can continue to evolve and grow enough to contain this understanding. Our brains are not infinite (but are pretty damned big as far as storage size goes). There is also the other miniscule point that if our brains become large enough or if we continue evolving in other ways, our species will end, but maybe not in the way that you seem to be implying, as new "humans" will have mutations that will cause the inability to produce viable offspring with the old-style humans. This would mean an end of our species if we compete with them, but also the start of a more advanced (or more fit, as evolution would have it) species. Basically the progression might be like so (with ability to control the energy at respective levels), if we are to live forever. 1. Utilize the sun to gain control of our solar system. 2. Ability to colonize other systems to combat the exhausted energy of our Sun. 3. Ability control on a galactic level through clusters. 5. Ability to alter the universe to our means (expansions vs. collapse) (energy) A much more likely scenario would be, however, that our species will be annihilated by a self-inflicted war, global warming, an asteroid, or the end of our sun. The current scientific community must grow and develop more rapidly if we are to overcome the demise of our species.

Hi sugarplum, The end of our species may not be inevitable as I think it may still be time for us to turn things around. Just because it happened to other species doesn't mean it has to happen to humans. I admit that we have a lot against us, but I think a change has started and we will be around for a long time yet. Blessings.

well i think if human being do not want to be mutilated from this earth then they have only one way to save human being in this earth and that take as low as low you can from this environment and try to replenish the consumed amount if you can

I'm curious if electronics/robots will be what contributes to our demise. I saw an episode on i think it was nightline where this dude was saying that men are becomming or will become extinct. (???)
