Mankind will probably annihilate itself at some point in the next few centuries but after that, Earth will still be able to sustain lifeforms.
The end of all life on the planet will occur once the planet itself ceases to exist.
This can happen through a multitude of ways such as a supernova or another cosmic phenomenon.

Good point, but still I believe in the volcanic eruption theory, which is VEI or Volcanic Explosion Index No.:9 It will kill all living life forms in earth with ash, an ice age, poisoning of the waters, sulfur will replace oxygen, and one gigantic pyroclastic flow.

It would certainly be the end of all complicated lifeforms such as humans or big mammals, but I'm not sure, maybe something very little such as very simple kinds of bacteria might survive and as as long as there is life, there'll be adaption and evolution. The asteroid that wiped out the dinosaurs changed the face of the planet for ages, maybe in a less drastical way as the volcanic eruption you describe, but eventually, there was life; life adapted to the new environment and over time, Earth recovered itself.

You are correct about evolution, because when the super volcano Toba exploded 75,000 years ago it made humans evolve in what we are today.

1) 816 had no summer, humans survived (Krakatoa)
2) Possible
3) Humans can survive this, just not as many
4) & 5) Same thing, 5bn years away so don't panic
6) Onto what? Another Planet, just n00b.
7) No, just learn physics first
8) See 7
9) See 7

we will all die out when the sun goes red giant and dicinigrates the earth untill then theres not much that can compleatly oblitherat life aside impact from a rouge planet, because meteroids and super valcaneos always leave some life wich will repoupulate and elvoulve

p.s if you dont think planet planet impacts are posibloe the moon was formed when the rouge planet orin hit earth cameout the other side and gravity sucked it back and it hit earth agian leaving a debris feild that formed the moon ;) its actualy way more comon then you think

Earth did survive from a head-on collision with the planet Phia, which decintigrated on impact, while Earth began to get large 2.0 billion years ago. (Tell me if I'm wrong with the year ok?)

Theia: 4.5 Billion years ago, that was during the formation of the Earth. During that period tons of things were crashing into a nucleus that became the Earth. You need to research topics before making posts like that.

Sorry about that. (Hmmm... I wonder about the Big Shatter in the future, where atoms and anti-atoms will split up and thus no more humans, no more planets, no more stars, no more galaxies, and a black universe which contains nothing.)

Because of course the Strong nuclear force will break down, and there is no such thing as CP violation.

Seriously watch less Sci Fi before making predictions about the end of the world.

Could cause a lot of people to die, but most definately won't kill everybody.

The most liky cause of all life dying on the earth in my opinion would proably a long way off (sun expanding/turning into a dwarf star) but in that case the human race may be instinct or may have colinised other planets.

EXIT MUNDI

An interesting site with lot's of these end-of-world scenarios. Some of them seem quite plausible, and others are, um, interesting, to say the least. :cry:

A great read if taken with a grain of salt.

Nah, plain stupidity wouldn't kill all life forms. Probably a scientist doing something smart gets us all killed when there is a super massive explosion, or some kind of black hole forms, or sth like tiny nanomachines eating us all alive.

well i hope its a combo of a few of them like a world war and global warming where people are fighting for the few areas of land left so that will keep you occupied for a while XD
