1 CE
12,000 AD. The Local Interstellar Cloud
Our Sun will exit the Local Interstellar Cloud which takes roughly 30 light-years to pass through. -
2
19,500 AD. Betelgeuse
The star Betelgeuse, which is one of the largest known starts found in the constellation, Orion, will collide with a dusty wall. -
3
22,000 AD. The Chernobyl Disaster
The Chernobyl disaster, which was a catastrophic nuclear accident that occurred in April of 1986, will become fully safe again. -
4
30,000 AD. Galactic Core
The very first wave of sub-light vessels will reach the galactic core. Essentially, this means that a space vessel will reach the center of the Milky Way at a speed less than the speed of light. -
5
100,000 AD. VY Canis Majoris
VY Canis Majoris, which is a red hypergiant star, will explode and produce one of the largest supernovas ever seen by this galaxy. -
6
1,000,000 AD. Type 3 Humans
Humanities decedents are a Type 3 civilization on the Kardashev scale. A Type 3 civilization is where a species become galactic travelers with knowledge of everything having to do with energy, resulting in them becoming a master race. -
7
6,800,000 AD. 21st Century Decay
Any DNA from the 21st century will be completely nonexistent. -
8
7,200,000 AD. Mount Rushmore
There will be no more Mount Rushmore due to it eroding away. -
9
10,000,000 AD. Gamma Radiation
The earth will be threatened by lethal levels of gamma radiation. -
10
35,000,000 AD. Asteroid Collision
An asteroid that is between 6.2-12.4 miles long will collide with Earth. -
11
50,000,000 AD. Merging Continents
Africa will eventually merge with Europe and as a result, form new mountain range. -
12
100,000,000 AD. Saturns Rings
The rings of Saturn will disappear when the matter in the ring runs out, leaving nothing left behind since no matter means no material and debris, which is what the ring is made of. -
13
150,000,000 AD. The Atlantic Ocean
The Atlantic Ocean will begin to close off due to a subduction zone that will separate oceanic and continental sections. The oceanic section will dive underneath the continental section essentially shrinking the Atlantic Ocean. -
14
250,000,000 AD. The Supercontinent
A supercontinent will form on Earth. The continents will eventually resemble a figure similar to the ancient Pangea. -
15
1,000,000,000 AD. Water Complications
Earth is becoming too hot to support liquid water. Extreme global warming. -
16
100,000,000,000,000 AD. Stellar Era
The end of the stellar era will occur, meaning there will be no new stars forming. -
17
10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 AD. Degeneration Era
The universe will begin to degenerate through proton decay as well as particle annihilation. All planets and moons are completely disintegrated at this point. -
18
10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 AD. Black Hole Era
The universe will enter the black hole era where only black holes and some subatomic particles remain. The back holes will eventually evaporate due to Hawking radiation which is radiation that is actually released by the black holes themselves. -
19
The Great Beyond
The universe will now be in its dark era. There are no black holes, only photons, neutrinos (subatomic particles produced by decay of radioactive elements), electrons, and positrons (positive electrons). These particles will have absolutely no way of communicating with each other. In conclusion, the universe will continue to expand forever, but will essentially be dead.
