Top 10 Ways the World Might End (in the Next 100 Years)


if only these were fictional it’s the
apocalypse in up days
the Judgment Day the end of the world my
friend welcome to watchmojo.com and
today we’re counting down our picks for
the top ten ways the world might end in
the next 100 years it’s a bit
complicated so we’ll take some time so I
hope you will bear with me number 10
geomagnetic reversal there are no
certainties in life but you can always
trust in north and south except the
Earth’s weakening magnetic field means
we could be in the first phases of a
geomagnetic reversal where the poles
actually flip doomsayers theorized it
will cause shifting continents solar
storm vulnerability accelerated climate
change and mass extinctions scientists
say no way it’s happened before and the
earth survived but they do admit it a
disrupt technology something fierce
everything within 30 degrees north and
south of the equator is going to fall
into complete darkness the temperature
is going to drop to a negative 273
degrees Celsius that is absolute zero
nothing will survive ERP bellow thank
you for your opinion of dr. cots Minh
Hut’s Minh thank you
number nine a gamma-ray burst must be a
hell of a light show supernovas are some
of the universe’s strongest explosions
and they discharge high frequency
electromagnetic radiation known as
gamma-ray bursts which sound pretty
deadly to us but don’t worry for earth
to be impacted the supernova would have
to be pretty close and aimed just right
better hope the Sun doesn’t explode
though then we’re talking destroyed
atmosphere fires and acid rain type
stuff number eight a black hole this is
going out not with a bang but a whimper
floating around the Milky Way are
thousands of black holes and anyone
could swallow everything in its path
without warning then there are the
theories about manmade black holes
courtesy of the Large Hadron Collider
official Frank will now throw a switch
which will either answer certain obscure
questions of subatomic physics or
destroy the universe
oh my god particle what might being
sucked through a black hole be like pink
eternal winter in outer space or just
playing nothingness number seven a
biotech disaster biotechnology is a nice
way of saying messing with genetics we
are now seeing the beginnings of another
stage of human evolution yes it can
potentially end world hunger and
eradicate disease but the road to hell
is paved with good intentions
biotechnology also lets us customize our
kids clone people and basically screw
evolution Dali is the name of the first
mammal yes a sheep ever to be born as
the result of cloning ethical issues
aside imagine a race of superhumans so
advanced they eliminate us or x-men and
zombie mutations or what if we bring
dinosaurs back say can we have a t-rex

number six climate change climate change
or global warming man-made or natural
doesn’t matter there’s no denying its
repercussions on the planet rising
temperatures droughts extreme weather
diminishing air quality and dwindling
natural resources are just the tip of
the melting iceberg it could even cause
the next ice age what can we do about
this had as far south as possible
some say climate change is the most
urgent threat facing humanity and we’re
running out of time to stop it
number five supervolcano this is not
good this is not good a supervolcano is
just what it sounds like bigger stronger
and much more devastating than a regular
volcano because when one goes all super
volcanoes worldwide go but it’s not like
they’re everywhere
oh wait does Yellowstone sound familiar
lava flows and sulfuric acid would be
bad but the debris emitted by an
eruption could block the Sun and cause a
big freeze but it’s rare so there’s that
number four asteroid could this really
end all life on Earth ask the dinosaurs
then turn on the TV there’s an asteroid
coming right at us a big enough asteroid
impact what eclipsed the devastation of
a nuclear blast and the chances of it
happening aren’t as slim as you’d think
scientists have found asteroids that
will pass scary close to Earth in our
lifetime but claim they won’t hit unless
something changes however it’s the ones
they haven’t found yet that are scarier
what kind of damage to damage a total
sir number three artificial intelligence
and nanotechnology come on bender it’s
up to you to make your own decisions in
life that’s what separates people and
robots from animals and animal robots
unless you’re some survivalist nutjob
computers and Technology significantly
impact your life so what happens when
computers surpass human intelligence
become self-aware and decide to take
over return to your home immediately
when you make the rules robot
robot I’m talking Stoppers we predict a
terminator slash matrix mashup with lots
of Apple products no I don’t believe it
worst case scenario gray goo you know
where a molecular nanotechnology goes
haywire and robot self replicate until
they devour everything on earth so
that’s fun I for one welcome our new
number two pandemic or biological
warfare it’s a threat of biblical
proportions
what do you mean biblical what he means
is Old Testament Amer real wrath of God
type stuff fire and brimstone coming
down from the skies rivers and seas
boiling 20 years of darkness earthquakes
volcanoes the dead rising from the grave
human sacrifice dogs and cats living
together mass hysteria pandemics like
the plague and h1n1 spread through
humans like wildfire the 1918 flu
outbreak killed three to five percent of
the world’s population today we have the
added bonus of drug-resistant bacteria
if nature doesn’t kill us we might do it
ourselves the thing you said to me
wouldn’t be great if there was a German
or a virus don’t wipe out all of mankind
like the animals on the trees ago you’re
just trying to confuse yourself buddy
biological warfare and weaponized
viruses like anthrax or Ebola are real
threats too maybe you’ll be one of the
lucky few who’s immune
number one nuclear holocaust we’ve
always talked about the possibility of
something going wrong with the bomb the
bomb Demetri the hydrogen bomb the Cold
War may be over but nuclear annihilation
is still a threat for more information
see Iran or North Korea at the touch of
a button humanity could be crushed
Demetri there’s no point in you getting
historical at a moment like this not to
mention the fallout contaminated food
water and air quality and worse yet
nuclear winter
consider this nuclear war could easily
be caused by misunderstanding but we’ve
been in this boat for decades so sleep
easy yo yo blue which potential future
keeps you up at night nothing will
survive me do you agree with our list or
do you think some new threat will end
