When do you think people will say the next apocalypse will occur? I don't mean like when doomsday cults or just 1 person predicts it. I mean like another thing on the scale of Y2K or Mayan calender that creates a big "end of the world" crowd.
Personally, I'll give it around 50-60 years for the next one and within 20 years afterwards for the one after that.
You're giving people too much credit. I'm pretty sure that at this very moment, there are at least a dozen apocalypse predictions that are still "unresolved". Also, wait until people start making a big deal out of 2038 [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Year_2038_problem] just like they did with the Y2K bug.

How about right now because, THE WORLD WILL END WITHIN THE NEXT YEAR ON THE DAY EXPLODING CHEESE AND FLAMING PUPPIES FALL FROM THE SKY, ZOMBIE DRAGONS SHALL RISE FROM THE EARTH BREATHING MAGMA AND SINGING SONGS OF DOOM AND SUFFERING, PLUTO SHALL ROCKET OUT OF ORBIT AND COLLIDE WITH US KNOCKING US OUT OF THIS SOLAR SYSTEM AS THE MOON SLINGSHOTS INTO THE SUN CAUSING A MASSIVE EXPLOSION THAT THE EARTH WILL RIDE HALF WAY ACROSS THE COSMOS AND HUMANITY WILL HAVE TO BEGIN ANEW UNDER THE DARK TYRANNY OF OUR NEW ALIEN OVERLORDS AND THEIR GREAT MASTER SNUFALOPAGUS THE FLUFFY DUCK OF DOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!!
2020 seems like a good time. 20-20 has some meaning so it must be a sign of the end. Course there is going to be one guy who says you were just off by 24 hours (repeatedly) and holds down for the next week just in case.
You do know this one isnt over, right? There are some that interpret the date of this one as late as Sunday.

I had a coworker who believed, we all pretty much laughed at him at work because of it. Nice guy just buys way too much into conspiracy theories and doomsayers.
OT: Within 10 years easily. I've seen the world end over a dozen times in my 25 years, why should that trend change any time soon? Besides, historically people act rather strange and believe lots of crazy things in the 20 or so years at the start and end of every century.
And then there's Supervolcanoes [http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2012/09/120920-yellowstone-supervolcano-prediction-volcanoes-science-environment/].
Magnetic pole reversal [http://www.nasa.gov/topics/earth/features/2012-poleReversal.html].
We also might run out of phosphorous all too soon [http://www.nsf.gov/discoveries/disc_summ.jsp?cntn_id=116841&org=NSF].
Oh no wait, all of these predictions are well establised, plus, as opposed to the Mayan Calendar idiocy, they're all based on scientific observations. The real doomsday predictions are already out there, we just choose to focus on the incredibly stupid ones.
"Since we see matter and antimatter created in equal amounts in particle experiments, we expect that shortly after the Big Bang...equal amounts of matter and antimatter were created...Based on...the results of particle physics and nuclear physics experiments, we deduce that all the matter in the universe today is only about a billionth of the amount of matter that existed during the very early universe...almost every matter particle collided with an antimatter particle...in a process called annihilation...But roughly a billionth of the matter particles survived, and it is those particles that now make the galaxies, stars, planets, and all living things on Earth, including our own bodies."
"One survivor for every billion". That's what comprises the universe today. We are what's left after all that destruction [http://conferences.fnal.gov/lp2003/forthepublic/matter/index.html].
Probably when I finish building my Doomsday device, so let's say within the next six to eighteen months going by current cost predictions and allowing for labour and supply problems. Ho ho, the Large Hadron Cotton Candy Spinner will be the end of this age of selfishness and moral depravity... and delicious.
