It is one of the questions that arouses the most interest in human beings. Many have the need to know how long we will live on Earth and why the world will end, if at some point this happens. For now, only certain experts have dared to give an answer, as theories from societies such as the Mayans always end up failing.
Stephen Hawking predicted the date of the end of the world
One of those who predicted when the end of the world would occur was Stephen Hawking. The physicist warned in the documentary ‘The Search for a New Earth’ that humanity will be able to dispose of this planet until the year 2600, as it will then become “a gigantic ball of fire”. Among the reasons that lead him to lean towards this idea are global warming, climate change and the greenhouse effect. Stephen Hawking points to them as the main culprits for the disappearance of the Earth.
NASA believes that the end of the world will be inevitable if we continue at this rate of energy consumption
If that were not enough, NASA has confirmed this theory. It is true that the aerospace organization does not give a specific date to pinpoint the end of the world, but it does say that if human beings continue at this rate of depleting energy resources, they will bring about their end sooner than many expect. If urgent action is not taken, the disappearance of our planet will be inevitable.
For this reason, NASA continues its prevention programs to take care of our planet from within, but also from space. In recent years, it has created a new program that allows it to identify potential threats to Earth such as an asteroid impact. It also continuously studies climate change to mitigate it and allocate resources to Earth observation.
