List of dates predicted for apocalyptic events

Predictions of apocalyptic events that would result in the

extinction of humanity, a collapse of civilization, or the
destruction of the planet have been made since at least the
beginning of the Common Era.[1] Most predictions are related to
Abrahamic religions, often standing for or similar to the
eschatological events described in their scriptures. Christian
predictions typically refer to events like the Rapture, Great
Tribulation, Last Judgment, and the Second Coming of Christ.
Many religious-related end-time events are predicted to occur
within the lifetime of the person making the prediction, who
often quote the Bible, and in particular the New Testament, as The Last Judgment by painter Hans Memling. In
either the primary or exclusive source for the predictions.[1] Christian belief, the Last Judgement is an

since the supposed creation of the Earth by the Abrahamic
God,[2] which according to the Talmud marks the deadline for the
Messiah to appear.[3] Predictions of the end from natural events have also been theorised by various scientists and scientific
groups. While these disasters are generally accepted within the scientific community as plausible "end of the world" scenarios,
the events and phenomena are not expected to occur for hundreds of thousands or even billions of years from now.

Little research has been done into why people make apocalyptic predictions.[4] Historically, it has been done for reasons such as
diverting attention from actual crises like poverty and war, pushing political agendas, and promoting hatred of certain groups;
antisemitism was a popular theme of Christian apocalyptic predictions in medieval times,[5] while French and Lutheran
depictions of the apocalypse were known to feature English and Catholic antagonists respectively.[6] According to psychologists,
possible explanations for why people believe in modern apocalyptic predictions include mentally reducing the actual danger in
the world to a single and definable source, an innate human fascination with fear, personality traits of paranoia and powerlessness
and a modern romanticism involved with end-times due to its portrayal in contemporary fiction.[4][7] The prevalence of
Abrahamic religions throughout modern history is said to have created a culture which encourages the embracement of a future
that will be drastically different from the present.[1][8] Such a culture is credited with the rise in popularity of predictions that are
more secular in nature, such as the 2012 phenomenon, while maintaining the centuries-old theme that a powerful force will bring
the end of humanity.[8]

Polls conducted in 2012 across 20 countries found over 14% of people believe the world will end in their lifetime, with
percentages ranging from 6% of people in France to 22% in the US and Turkey. Belief in the apocalypse is most prevalent in
people with lower rates of education, lower household incomes, and those under the age of 35.[9][10] In the UK in 2015, 23% of
the general public believed the apocalypse was likely to occur in their lifetime, compared to 10% of experts from the Global
Challenges Foundation. The general public believed the likeliest cause would be nuclear war, while experts thought it would be
artificial intelligence. Only 3% of Britons thought the end would be caused by the Last Judgement, compared to 16% of
Americans. Between one and three percent of people from both countries thought the apocalypse would be caused by zombies or
alien invasion.[11][12][13]

In approximately 300,000 years, WR 104, a triple star, is expected to explode

that could pose a threat to life on Earth should its poles be aligned 12° or [192]
300,000 Peter Tuthill [193]
lower towards Earth. However, spectroscopic observations now strongly
suggest that it is tilted at an angle of 30°-40° and so any gamma ray burst
should not hit Earth.
According to a journal article by Bostrom, an asteroid impacting with Earth
Nick [194]
500,000 would need to be about 1 km in diameter to render humans extinct. It is
Bostrom
estimated that such an asteroid hits Earth about every 500,000 years.

The Within the next 1 million years, Earth will likely have undergone a
1 million Geological supervolcanic eruption large enough to erupt 3,200 km3 of magma, an event [195]
Society comparable to the Toba supereruption 75,000 years ago.
It is estimated that every 100 million years, Earth is hit by an asteroid about
Stephen A. [196]
100 million 10–15 km in diameter, comparable in size to the one that triggered the K–Pg
Nelson
extinction which killed non-avian dinosaurs 66 million years ago.
A gamma ray burst or a massive, hyperenergetic supernova, would have
occurred within 6,500 light-years of Earth, close enough for its rays to affect

million Minard the hypothesis of a previous such explosion triggering the Ordovician–Silurian
extinction event is correct. However, the supernova would have to be
precisely oriented relative to Earth to have any negative effect.
The Sun's increasing brightness causes the rate of weathering of the planet's
crust to increase. This will cause the level of carbon dioxide in the
atmosphere to drop dramatically, making photosynthesis in plants impossible.
600–800 This will very likely cause a mega mass extinction of the Earth's vegetation. [198]
Various [199]
million The lack of oxygen-producing plants will cause oxygen in the atmosphere to
disappear as well as the ozone layer, making animal life impossible. Even if
photosynthesis was still possible, rising surface temperatures from the
brighter sun will make complex life (plants and animals) impossible.
The estimated end of the Sun's current phase of development, after which it
[200]
will swell into a red giant, either scorching or swallowing Earth, will occur
1–5 billion Various around five billion years from now. However, as the Sun grows gradually [201]

The Earth and the Moon will be most likely destroyed by falling into the Sun,
