Heh, I've watched so many shows on the ways life on earth will end. Like
having to worry about giant asteroids, nuclear war, earth's magnetic field
weakening, solar flares, mega earthquakes, supervolcano, global warming and
so on... It seems like the world was a much more simple place to live in
when all we had to worry about was finding food and staying warm. If we had
any trouble finding those things all that was required was more human blood
for the gods or <insert random religious stuff from the past here>.
My logic life has been on the earth for a long time now, and we have only
been observing space for a short time period. Most of what we find out there
probably isn't "the end" coming for us but something that just happens every
so often out there. I guess asteroids might hit us again but even if a huge
one does life will probably come back just maybe not humans. Maybe we can
stop that threat in the future too.
Even if some crazy thing happens like our magnetic field dissipates and the
sun weakens and the crazy radiation rips all life apart and an asteroid hits
the earth at the same time as an earthquake and supervolcanos go off at the
same instant that we launch our nukes. I just want to watch it all start
from the top of a hill with a frosty cold one :P
