10 Possibilities for The End of The World

10 POSSIBILITIES FOR THE END OF THE WORLD

1.    Asteroid Explosion

The reason for the demise of the dinosaurs was linked to the impact of a 10km asteroid in Mexico about 6500000 years ago. In 1908, an asteroid of about 110m across exploded 6km above the Earth, releasing energy equivalent to a thousand Hiroshima’s over Siberia.
The end of humans could be caused by a 1km wide asteroid which would sweep in from the sky, hit earth at about 20kms per second and scoop out a crater 10km across, throwing huge mass of rocks into atmosphere. 45 minutes later, blazing fragments of earth would begin to reduce it to ashes.
The solution to this could be a nuclear explosion detonated at the distance of a radius 500 m (in the case of a 1km asteroid) which could slow or deflect the asteroid even if it was to collide in 20 years. There would be no explosion in space but a side of the monster would start to vaporize. This would have a pushing effect, and could slow the monster by half an inch a second. It may not sound effective, but half an inch over 20 years adds up to greater than the radius of the Earth. It would miss us.

2.    Robotic invasion

Robots are being used all over the world in military operations, carrying military weapons and can easily identify human targets on their own.
In the next 20 years, each house will have its own slave robot.
Soon with the development of technology these robots will have a higher artificial intelligence level and if they come to know that the less intelligent humans are their rulers and they can easily have a victory over us, then they will rule us and if we deny they will end the human civilization.
Or they may even fall prey in the hands of some angry terrorists pissed off for no reason who could reprogram them for the doom of the world.

3.    Super volcano

Tambora erupted in 1815 with a high rating on the Volcanic Explosivity Index, making it the largest of the eruptions ever since the Lake Taupo eruption in 180 CE. The death toll was more than seventy thousand people. The eruption created global climate calamity. 1816 became to be known as Year without summer because of its effect on the American and European weather. Agricultural crops failed and cattle died in many areas of the Northern Hemisphere, resulting in one of the worst famine of the nineteenth century.
One huge eruption like this could be enough to trigger many other sleeping volcanoes which could result in the end of the world.
