There are many myths and hypotheses about the end of the world, among which the Mayan prophecy of the end of 2012 is undoubtedly the most famous. Scientists have explored a total of 5 mass extinctions on Earth.
The five mass extinctions were the Ordovician mass extinction 440 million years ago, the Devonian mass extinction 365 million years ago, the Permian mass extinction 250 million years ago, the Triassic mass extinction 200 million years ago, and the Cretaceous dinosaur mass extinction 65 million years ago.
It is precisely because there have been five mass extinctions on Earth that a large number of humans believe in the existence of the end of the world.
So let's venture to imagine how, in our lifetime, if the end of the world really comes, how might it be? Was it like the Cretaceous period when an asteroid hit earth and caused human extinction? Or did the super plague infect the whole world and wipe out humanity?
……
Today we will answer this question and look at several different scenarios that could lead to the end of the world.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="8" > asteroid hit Earth</h1>
History has always had some striking similarities, and scientists have concluded that earth is hit by an asteroid on average every 500,000 years, referring to asteroids more than 1 mile in diameter. Then every 20 million years, Earth would encounter a large collision, similar to the Asteroid impact of the Cretaceous period to exterminate the dinosaurs.
In 1994, many scientists witnessed the impact of Comet Shumek Levy 9 on Jupiter through astronomical telescopes, and also used a supercomputer to simulate the consequences of Shumek Levy's impact on the earth, and the answer was: Maybe the earth will not fall apart because of the impact, but human beings must be on the verge of extinction, and the vast majority of life on the earth will be in danger of extinction.
This eye-opening real-time example also makes scientists more convinced about the destructive nature of asteroids and the harm to humans.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="12" > super plague</h1>
Although most human beings have a negative attitude towards the so-called end of the world, they believe that the end of the world will only appear in the plot of the movie.
But scientists have repeatedly reminded that human activities have wreaked havoc on the planet and have led to a "stress response" on the planet.
If you think of the new crown virus as the "immune system" of the earth, then many problems can be figured out. Suppose, the earth we live on is also a living organism, human beings on the earth wantonly take, destroy, how are these behaviors different from parasites, viruses? It is precisely because of the destruction of human beings that the earth is "sick", so the "immune system" of the earth begins to "work" for the purpose of killing all the "germs".
One thing worth investigating is whether the continuous evolution of the new crown virus will evolve into a super plague that makes human beings around the world helpless in the future, and how long can human beings persist in this "Great Purge" action launched by the earth's immune system!
