Scientific predictions

Various scientists and scientific groups have theorised estimated dates for possible natural events which would potentially danger life or existence on Earth.

Estimated date
(years from now)		 Claimant(s) Description Reference(s)
500,000 Nick Bostrom Earth will have likely been hit by an asteroid of roughly 1 km in diameter during this period, assuming it cannot be averted. Bostrom writes "In order to cause the extinction of human life, the impacting body would probably have to be greater than 1 km in diameter (and probably 3 - 10 km)". [113]
1 million The Geological Society Earth will likely have undergone a supervolcanic eruption large enough to erupt 3,200 km3 of magma, an event comparable to the Toba supereruption 75,000 years ago. [114]
100 million Stephen A. Nelson Earth will have likely been hit by an asteroid about 10–15 km in diameter (comparable in size to the one that triggered the K–Pg extinction which killed dinosaurs 66 million years ago), assuming it cannot be averted. [115]
500 million James Kasting The level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere will drop dramatically, making the Earth uninhabitable. [116]
500–600 million Anne Minard Estimated time until a gamma ray burst, or massive, hyperenergetic supernova, occurs within 6,500 light-years of Earth; close enough for its rays to affect Earth's ozone layer and potentially trigger a mass extinction, assuming the hypothesis is correct that a previous such explosion triggered the Ordovician–Silurian extinction event. However, the supernova would have to be precisely oriented relative to Earth to have any negative effect.[117] [117]
1–5 billion Various The estimated end of the Sun's current phase of development, after which it will swell into a red giant, either swallowing the Earth or at least completely scorching it, will occur around five billion years from now. However, as the Sun grows gradually hotter (over millions of years), the Earth may become too hot for life as early as one billion years from now. [116][118]
1.3 billion S. Franck, C. Bounama, W. Von Bloh Eukaryotic life will die out due to carbon dioxide starvation. Only prokaryotes remain. [119]
7.59 billion David Powell The Earth and Moon will be most likely destroyed by falling into the Sun, just before the Sun reaches the tip of its red giant phase and its maximum radius of 256 times the present day value. Before the final collision, the Moon possibly spirals below Earth's Roche limit, breaking into a ring of debris, most of which falls to the Earth's surface. [120]
22 billion Various The end of the Universe in the Big Rip scenario, assuming a model of dark energy with w = −1.5. Observations of galaxy cluster speeds by the Chandra X-ray Observatory suggest that the true value of w is ~-0.991, meaning the Big Rip will not occur. [121]
10 duotrigintillion Various The heat death of the universe is a scientific theory, in which the universe will diminish to a state of no thermodynamic free energy and therefore will no longer sustain motion or life. Heat death of the universe
