      Hello!
      There are lots of different ideas about when and how the world will end. One of the current theories is that as the universe is expanding, it will gradually cool and eventually get too cold for human life (‘The Big Freeze’) – in which case everything will slow down more and more until it stops altogether. That’s a very long way off though (billions of years)! I think it’s more likely that the human race will have died out before that as we will have exhausted the planet’s resources and not be able to sustain it any more. Or maybe a new species of superhuman will have evolved by then!

      I’ve been lead to be believe that the world will last a long time yet. Hundreds of thousands of years I think. So it shouldn’t be a problem in my lifetime!

      It seems sad, but everyone we know and love will not be around any more, maybe the human race won’t be here either.

      Hmm, yeah that still seems sad 🙁
