I'm kinda tired with all of these ominous predictions, we all gonna die from aging in the next 40-70 years so why should we even care. People just like causing drama since they have nothing better to do so boohoo we gonna die, Oh no.

P.s.
I refer to "all" as to all of you basters on this site.

We won't die out any time soon.

Not in a long, long, long time.

Or maybe the Goa'uld will come to visit us tomorrow?

I'll go with Dr Who with this one: Till the end of the universe and back. Alternatively, until the end of tomorrow.

Anyone who clicked 'we're already dead' is a raging ******.

It doesn't make you look edgy and intelligent, it makes you look like a 14 year old who just learnt what the word 'philosophy' meant.

if humanity is going to survive we need either to discover technology to travel at FTL speed and to be able to make a planet habitable in a short peroid of time, or discover technology like in supreme commander so we can create any material we want as long as we have energy
A Human can't survive at light speed. And FTL is impossible in this dimension, light is the speed limit of the universe and so you can't go Faster Than Light. And even if we found some way to make super-dooper jumpgates that take us to another dimension where everything is just faster for some reason, the Human Body still cannot survive at that speed.

We'll live a VERY long time, but we wont go beyond the Sol System.

As long as we can breed, we can survive. If the planet become like a wasteland, we'll survive. Humans are tough little buggers.

Even then, there isn't a single planet we could survive upon without life support unless it was almost completly identical to earth simply due to the fact that other planets with simular atmospheres and life would have a host of deseases we would have no immune sustem against so even then our only real hope are moon/martian colonies if it comes to that.

Well, there are over 6 billion of you. I'm sure some will survive the initial purge somewhare. Not for long though =D

What I find funniest about this statement is that you presume to single yourself out from the rest of us as if for some reason, you are special or better than the 6 billion of us. Still I don't really beleive some sort of major calamity will happen in the near future that could really do that.

We'll last as long as it takes for the supervolcanoes to go off and the methane deposits in the seabed to get released. That'll raise global temps by 10 degrees. Add that to the potential 6 degrees from global warming and you'll turn Britain into the Sahara.

And the scary thing? The volcanoes are overdue....

Thats how I think we'll die. Either that or a meteor. If neither of that manages to kill us off the Sun will take care of that when it explodes, and if we somehow manage to establish a space empire we'll definitely go down during the "degenerative era" of the universes history, where all the stars will have been reduced to ashen white dwarfs. Should we somehow survive around them, don't worry, they will go out eventually... at which point the black holes will be all that live, and you can't live around them.

There you go, the options for humanity. Die soon, die in the distant future, die in the very distant future or peter on for nigh eternity only to be cruelly snuffed out as the universe falls to pieces steadily under the second law of physics, namely the law of entropy, which states that energy will always go from a state of low entropy, or high organisation (complex molecular structures, particularly solids) to a state of high entropy, or low organisation (at its lowest level, the very particles that make up the atoms.)

So basically we're all going to be protons in the far distant future. Did I depress anyone?

EDIT: If you really want me to put a wager on it, I reckon the volcanoes will kill us. You try surviving when the earth is a blackened, sun-roasted ball of dust.

I don't really care. If things do go to hell, it's a pretty safe bet that it'll happen after I die.

You will survive for millennia, aeons and probably for the entire life of the universe. You're like parasites. Corrupting and taking over planets. Breeding quickly and using your curiosity and strong survival instincts, you survive everywhere.

Humans will always exist.

Humans typically survive for less than 100 years so...

I went with 500-5000. I don't see us getting wiped out anytime soon. It will probably come down to aliens, a giant meteor, or somebody's stupidity.
