fake, mod close plz.
LOL, Nazi!
I believe that the sun won't fry us until it turns into a Red Giant and expands in mass. Which is aparrently billions of years away.
As Earth's Sun has a mass of one solar mass, it is expected to become a red giant in about five billion years. It will become sufficiently large to engulf the current orbits of some of the solar system's inner planets, including Earth's.
But...
Earth will however become uninhabitable, even while the Sun is still on the main sequence, due to a runaway greenhouse effect caused by its gradual increase in luminosity.

Awsome.... lol yeah like loads have said it all sounds a little far fetched
I’ll be a story in your head, but that’s okay, because we’re all stories in the end. Just make it a good one, eh? Because it was, you know. It was the best. A daft old man who stole a magic box and ran away. Did I ever tell you that I stole it? Well, I borrowed it. I always meant to take it back. Oh, that box, Amy, you’ll dream about that box. It’ll never leave you. Big and little at the same time. Brand-new and ancient and the bluest blue ever. And the times we had, eh? Would had…Never had. In your dreams, they’ll still be there. The Doctor and Amy Pond and the days that never came.
Tis true, every 15,000 years or something like that the two pole switch and when there inbetween the magnetic field that protects us (not the ozone layer but similar) stops working and MOST living things fry in Radation. I is smart k![]()
On three,
we're jumping from this ledge,
this build's tall,
I'm sure we'll wake up dead
But I still love her..
well according to this it is going to be way longer than 100 years

The Earth's magnetic field may flip towards the end of the next millennium according to Danish geophysicists, exposing the Earth to harmful cosmic radiation in the process. In the past century, the magnetic north pole has moved over 1000 km towards the geographical north pole, and over the past decade the strength of the magnetic field has fallen by 1%. New measurements made in Greenland by the Danish Meteorological Institute (DMI) show that the magnetic north pole is moving northwards at 20 km a year - 2 km a year faster than 12 months ago.
"This is certainly the quickest movement since we started measurements in Greenland in 1928, " says Torsten Neubert, who heads DMI's Solar-Terrestrial Physics Department. Neubert thinks that this acceleration points to a switching of the magnetic poles, perhaps within the next thousand years, something that could have dire consequences. "In the period up to a reversal, the Earth's magnetic field would lose its strength and would no longer be able to protect the Earth from radiation coming from space - we could be exposed to violent cosmic radiation, " says Neubert. Such radiation would affect navigation as well as the production of semiconductors.
However, not all geophysicists are convinced. "I wouldn't say that the northward movement of the magnetic pole is a sign that the field is about to reverse, " says a sceptical Jeremy Bloxham, an Earth and planetary scientist at Harvard University in the US. He thinks that the pole would have to be travelling towards the equator in order to flip. Neubert admits that the case for a switch in the magnetic field is unproven and says that the field is a chaotic system and therefore difficult to predict.
The new Danish Ørsted satellite may make prediction a little easier by looking at the whole of the Earth's magnetic field, rather than just the poles. Due to be launched in the coming weeks, it should give researchers more accurate data on the orientation and strength of the field. Bloxham, however, believes that more accurate data will not point to a reversal. "I think the chances are that it will not happen, " he says. "It's a highly erratic process - there have been intervals of tens of millions of years without reversals." But Neubert is looking forward to a reversal. "It would be an exciting time, " he says.

Tbh, I wasn't sure how long it was, like I said my science teacher said 100 years but that might be long, and also, it's happened before and humans turned to living underground and in caves to survire (sp?) so I suppose it probaly wont kill us all.

we are gonna get pwned
The world isnt going to end by some 30 Mile Burning Rock hitting the ground .. The world will destroy itself.. like people who cant get off there backsides and actually do something about global warming, i mean its taken george bush to realise global warming is destroying the planet, the planet will ever be sunk and just a big ocean or the planet will just instantly blow upp.
i save electricity, and gas .. we hardly have our lights on .. only our gas if were drying clothes or during winter. ;] So yeah anyways dont have a go at Flipton .. he read it off somewhere blame the liers who created this "world ending story" OMG THE WORLD IS GOING TO END RUNN. .. as ive said the world will destroy itself. tyvm
They figured out the EXACT time it will hit? SuuuuuuuuuureFriday the 13th of April 2029 could be a very unlucky day for planet Earth. At 4:36 am Greenwich Mean Time, a 25-million-ton, 820-ft.-wide asteroid called 99942 Apophis will slice across the orbit of the moon and barrel toward Earth at more than 28,000 mph. The huge pockmarked rock, two-thirds the size of Devils Tower in Wyoming, will pack the energy of 65,000 Hiroshima bombs -- enough to wipe out a small country or kick up an 800-ft. tsunami.
Continue here.
What do you also get if you add 2+0+2+9 Guess what.....
THIRTEEN!
ALSO IF YOU ADD 4.36 You get 13.
I may have cracked this?
