do yall think the earth will become like planet caruscant if humanity lives on earth long enough.?

No. Everybody'll STILL want their own piece and will damn sure go to war before allowing the development of a planet-spread city.

The earth will last a lot longer than we will. It will not be the same but it's the humans that will go crazy and kill each other when they can't get the necessities of life.

By that time we'll be off the planet...hopefully on mars...its possible that we could live on mars the only problem is that it may take about 50 or more years.

To the world (the planet)? Then it is probably that we're heading toward another ice age if that meteor doesn't hit us.\n\nTo the world (People)? Then it's probably the planet -- it will get us all in the end, earthquakes, floods, famines, plagues, disease, superbugs... we have the present vanity of thinking we have caused problems and so we can solve them -- that we have control or the upper hand. Nope, sorry. We don't, we could solve the global warming and then hey, throw a Nuclear War or die from antibiotic-resistant superbugs, Mad Cow disease or Bird Flu!\n\nTo the world (culture/history)?  Then the answer is digital communication -- vinyl is dead, magnetic tape lives forever but the machines are dead, CDs are rotting, formats change and we lose data -- will there be anything for future archaeologists to dig up?  For a communication age, I don;t see photos, letters or even music as surviving more than a generation.  All our libraries will vanish under a computer supervirus in 2020! Arrgh!

No one knows. Earth has gone through many climatic cycles. We could be headed for another ice age.

No - Nothing has been destroyed. Just changed in form.\nThe planet will be here for a long time to come.\nThat is if time actuallly exists........\nPeople will adapt to changes, as will lots of animals, trees, insects, plants, fish etc\n\nIs this bothering you - cos your lifespan is 120 years tops?\nFu@k the enviroment, enjoy yourself a bit and stop worrying. Let your kids do all the worrying.

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.

No. Even if the human race moves-on to distant planets, the universe will remain diverse and we will not look the same.  \nJust watch an episode of "Red Dwarf."

Our sun will not supernova.  It will, over a very long time, expand into a relatively small red giant, which will have a diameter greater than the Earth's orbit.\n\nLong before that the Earth will have become far too hot to live on, but the process will be very, very slow -- it'll take over a billion years -- not a giant explosion.\n\nSorry to disappoint you.  I know, you sound like you were looking forward to it.  Funny how many people answering this question think otherwise.  I guess that's the irony of the internet for you.\n\nSee the link below for all the details:

i agree debris would be the larger problem in the near future.\nIts all about time scale and which two planets, it might not affect our lifetime. On the other hand our neighborhood as become pretty calm and not so much traffic as when the planets were forming, I suspect it will only get calmer and more boring unless the sun does some crazy stuff.

I'm afraid its "Goodnight Vienna" for us. As this is unlikely to happen for another 5 billion years or so though, there is a fair chance that we will have blown ourselves up or evolved into something a little more intelligent and cleared off elsewhere by the time it happens.\n\nAlthough the Sun uses up around 5 million tons of hydrogen every second, it still has enough left in its core to last for another 5 billion years or so. When it finally does run out of fuel, though, it will swell up to many times its present size and become what is known as a red giant. \n \nThe outer layers of the Sun will grow to swallow up the planets Mercury and Venus and they may even reach out as far as Earth. Way before the Earth is swallowed the surface of our planet will be scorched, its oceans boiled dry and most of the atmosphere will be stripped away.\n\nAs a red giant, the Sun might be able to exist for a few more million years. During this time it will shed matter quite quickly. The solar wind will strengthen to a solar gale. Finally, the Sun may cast off most of its outer layers as a bright shell of gas called a planetary nebula.\n\nAll that will be left behind is a very hot, dense core. The Sun, in fact, will have become a white dwarf - a star no bigger than the Earth. Gradually, over many millions of years, even this small star will cool. The Sun will end its days quietly as a dimming ember in space.\n\nThe attached link shows a photo of a star similar to the Sun in its death throes.

Old age, the Earth will gradually become uninhabitable over a very long period of time until the time comes when the few million people that are left only have legends about how the planet once supported billions.\nNuclear war,  pandemics, possible global warming would be as hiccups along the way.

I can agree with that. The earth is changing. So many will not make it through but some will. \nLove & Light\nSharon\nOne Planet = One People

Well the sun doesn't become a red giant for a while so maybe we've made some friends by then and can go hang out near their home planet if it hasn't also been ruined.  It is likely that we will be much better at terraforming and travel so hoping over to a good canidate planet where we wouldn't be destroying life that already existed there shouldn't be too difficult a task.

i dont think human being will ever extinct the earth...i don't think god created us.. to see us destructed again.. dat dont make no sense..dat someone u pray to.. every scd. someone u say dat loves u... would create the earth.. and just let you die.dat jus dont make sense...its just like..would u suffer to construct a house wit ur own hands.. and then just because..one window is wrong u destruct da whole? i dont think so.. u will fix da window.. and let errthing as it was.. so.the earth is bad now yes.. but not every thing or every person is bad.. and i dont think for dat god will let the huamn being extinct from the earth.

in about 4 billion years when the sun runs low on hydrogen then it will evolve into the next step of its life cycle. it will become a red giant like the star betelgeuse is already.\nwhen that happens planet earth will be completely destroyed.

First of all, I think it is going to take a tad bit longer than a few decades to heat up the planet to the point of being uninhabitable. Go sit in yellow knife naked in the middle of winter and tell me then how long you think it will take to get the planet to the point hot enough to kill you.\n\nSecond, when we do reach that point, I think we will also have devised ways of living in hotter temperatures. I am thinking more of a bio dome type of surrounding. Or somehow force us to live underground. \n\nLastly, with things like the Kyoto accord helping, maybe we can turn things around with global warming, but only if we get rid of our dependency on fossil fuels.\n\nOtherwise, we are hooped.
