What Will Become of Us? Human Extinction
How humanity would be extinct, or endangered, and how we adapt.
Human extinction; the last thing you want to think about. In most religions such as Islam and Christianity, there will be a day where all humans would die. There are many scenarios that could happen. Below I would explain the scenario, the effect, and many other things. Seriously, I hope I wouldn’t have to be alive to see such a day happen. Such a day, nobody knows when it would happen; it’s better if we don’t. One thing about human when it comes to survival, no one cares for another, only themselves…
Asteroids and Meteorites Hit Earth
There is a huge possibility that this scenario would happen. If this happened at a later state, our technology should be able to not only crush the meteorite into pieces, but instead destroy it as a whole. If that doesn’t happen, and asteroids hit Earth, buildings and structures will be decimated, and seas would rise and crush our cities. I don’t know how exactly to hide in case of a meteorite hits Earth, but most places will not be safe. All of Earth would be burnt, and skies will turn a crimson red. Food supplies will drop drastically; humans will struggle and fight their own kind for survival.
Some Cities Would be Quarantined of a Pandemic
Another scenario is that something such as the now-occurring H1N1 Flu or something stronger would infect mankind, and force us to quarantine cities and towns. Airports and forms of transport would be stopped, travel is impossible, escape is impossible. This kind of scenario is something that would start as little as a group of people, and end up as the whole Earth. Maybe the virus can only be carried by humans, or even animals. If the virus is also capable of infecting animals, the Earth would belong to the plant organisms and fish if possible too. Or perhaps, our antibody would evolve in order to fight against the virus. We could be something new, something maybe that is less complicated. Since we have so many organs and systems in our body, lots of it can be affected; look at cockroaches, they survive radiation and viruses. That’s because they are so simple.
The ‘Knowing’ Scenario
Have you seen the new blockbuster film ‘Knowing’? World ended as the sun’s solar flares reach Earth and smolder all of Earth, leaving ash in its path. This and the meteorite scenario is a force of nature. We can’t stop the force of nature; or so they say.
These kinds of scenarios kill at once.
The ‘Happening’ Scenario
Another movie explaining the end of mankind, this time it’s something airborne, nobody knows what it is, but when humans are infected, they start to talk confusedly, and lose physical control of their body which leads to paralysis. Then, they have a desire to kill themselves.
The WORST-CASE Scenario
At least if there were a choice, this would be last on the list. You know what it is? All of the above happening at once, which means no survival, no running away, just appreciating last moments of life.
My message through this article is to make the most of your life, spend it properly in a good way before it ends. You think living 70-90 years is long, but as you live it will feel as short as a minute. So LIVE LIFE TO THE MOST.
I hope you are inspired to help Earth from my article, and thank you for reading!

This is what I think about sometimes Buma, but I dont worry about myself now because at 46, I have tried to live this life with turmoil all the same yet I still think the world has hiding places.But whn I try to fathom the fate of my children’s children, I just shudder at the thought that they would be trying to a hiding place that is not available any where on the face of the earth!. How can I get some of the movies you talk about here Buma? This was a heart wrending article! Thanks alot!

Buma; it is true that life on earth will end some day. There is no comfort any of us can draw from this fact. Let’s hope that day is far enough away that those who come after us can do something about it.
