Is the world really going to explode in a couple of hundred years?

I will tell you after it happened ;-)

Nope! Not unless we bomb everyone, including ourselves...but I highly doubt we'll do that. According to studies, the only way that earth will truly blow up, is when it goes through its final stages. For example, turning into a red giant. I can't remember what stages we are in at the moment...but it won't happen for a long, LONG time.

Well astronomers think the expansion of the universe is actually accelerating, so what you are proposing probably will never come to pass.  Anyway for a civilization to survive a "big crunch" if it happened, would have to far far far more advanced then anything we could possibly imagine.

Unfortunately,not. Remember that the world ended in 1918,don't you agree?  :)

Not for another 1000 years, unless it all comes to an end in 2012

Yes, Virginia, there will be an Armageddon on earth.\n\nBut hopefully it won't occur for about one or two BILLION YEARS!!! That is when the sun expands and gets too hot for life.

By then most people will agree that mankind will not be around. That is not the pessimists but now the optimists too. The question is how will this eventual demise arise? That will determine what the state of of the Earth will be in 1000 years. If the 'War on Terror' ends in nuclear holocaust then the Earth will be a barren land much similar to Mars is today. If global warming catches up with us then we will be in the middle of another Ice Age.\nThe alternative is that we humans, against all odds, do survive. In that case we will be living in a civilisation that is either as close to total anarchy as we can get without destroying ourselves or we will be in totalitarian state of control. Either way the future was stolen from our hands a long long time ago.

The world for most people will end within 80 years.

I think by the time it's 3006, we will be in a technological war, rather than people fighting people it will be robots fighting robots.... either that, or by then everyone will be dead from radiation from all of the nuclear bombs that are being built...the world's going to end eventually, and I think it has a slim chance of being here in 3006.....it's sad but very true to me.

I think we'll screw up the atmosphere, then choke to death.  1000 years later, the Earth will probably fix itself, sans us.

Not yet.  We will be once our demands outstrip our resources.  Then it will be like the Dark Ages in Europe when many will die from pestilence and war.  After that, there will be more resources available per person than there has been in a long time.  There will be what can only be considered a new Renaissance.

they would say its about time.  its going to eventually happen, it alwasy does.  might be 50 years from now, might be 1000, but it will happen.

yes,  think of how the world has changed in the past century and imagine how it will be after a few centuries.

Predicting the future is tough for mere mortals.  I'm going to guess that there will be a 3rd world war and that it will be quick and world ending.  Jury is still out on the whens and hows.

Gosh I hope so!  Maybe the end of the world is not so close, but many years off!\n\nLMAO\n\nNancy Pelosi is silly

Hypothetically speaking, I'm not entirely sure the world will exist in 10 years the way current world affiars are going what with the nuclear tension in Iran and North Korea...But I predect the economy will be better if we're still around.

wow, hundreds of years at least, if it's even possible.
