How will the world end?

The sun will become a red giant and envelope the Earth . . . in a few billion years. Of course, when most people hear this question posed, they think about something like nuclear weapons and mutually assured destruction, The Walking Dead type zombie apocalypse, or an asteroid not even Bruce Willis can save us from. Those may spell the end for humans, but we are not the “world.” The average person cares not about the planet itself, but only their place in it. While Homo sapiens are the current kings and queens of this blue and green castle, we weren’t always. And in the cosmic snap of the fingers, our time will end. Earth will not miss us. The planet will persist, likely much better off once we’re gone. Physics tells us how Earth will likely meet its ultimate end. As for what will end our species, the options are vast. Vast, but inevitable. Inevitable, but unlikely to happen tomorrow. But rest assured, some unknown tomorrow will be the final day for our species. We should all get a good night’s rest—it just might be our last.
