The earth is not going to "die" any time soon. Only new-age wackos think that the earth is alive. If the earth is whacked by a huge comet or asteroid, there will be a lot of rearrangement of its components, but will still be here.
Humans, OTH, can go at any time. That asteroid/comet will likely kill off humans and all large things - other animals and trees. Most everything will start over, in new directions, like it has several times in the past.
And, even if not hit by an asteroid/comment, the human race is not long for this world. Primitive or modestly technological societies can tolerate the existence of a lot of idiots and religious wackos (Christian, Muslim, orthodox Jews, ..) and their mistakes or destructive actions. Now, with high tech, all it will take is a few idiots or wackos to destroy themselves and the rest of us.
Humans are not going anywhere off-planet in a SELF-sustaining way. Any space stations or colonies on moon or Mars will depend on earth. When our high-tech goes, so will the colonies.
And, our high-tech "civilization" is going to go. It is unsustainable due to massive overpopulation which has exceeded the environmental carrying capacity - resources - water, oil, fish, arable land... Earth can support only a MUCH smaller population with high tech. Even if people were to consider population control, it is now probably too late.
And they won't consider it anyway, as the stupidity (religious and social mores) that led to overpopulation will preclude any orderly reduction through birth control, abortion, letting the wolves eat defective newborns, and medical care triage, etc. The debate over "global warming" is a distraction from the REAL issue - overpopulation. "Global warming" is a relatively "safe" subject to argue about. Promoted by the media and government.
Overpopulation is the fart in the elevator that no one acknowledges.
Scientists are saying that the earth as we know it will last another 10 billion years. At that time there is be another big bang and possibly a new universe will be created. There was a show on the history channel that said that maybe the world is in more than one dimension.
That means that the world may not be all that is to be seen. There may be another you on another undiscovered space of matter in outer space. Watch the story Channel if you are intrigued by the universe.
The 10 billion duration of the earth was retrieved from a library text book.
Read my bio and you will get the answer keeping a positive soul is the key to eternal life.
Ago many years some high level cosmic energic are eastablished universe for some good aim,and they required unbreak holy rediation from all physical lives,hence the lifes are born doing some thing and death,more and more that procedure,inhidden magnetic flux are became pure and pure and they produce holy rediation,which are require,hence the no end of universe and the physical lives.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
