Quote :: (June 10) - Our solar system has a potentially violent future. New
computer simulations reveal a slight chance that a disruption of
planetary orbits could lead to a collision of Earth with Mercury, Mars
or Venus in the next few billion years.
Despite its diminutive size, Mercury poses the greatest risk to the
solar system's order. Results of the computer model show a roughly 1
percent chance that the elongation of Mercury's orbit will increase to
the point where the planet's path around the sun crosses that of Venus.
That's when planetary pandemonium would ensue, the researchers find,
and Mercury could be ejected from the solar system, or collide with the
sun or a neighboring planet, such as Earth.

So apparently Earth could end within a couple billion years. I'm not worried.

Thanks for the warning. I'll be sure to mark my calendar!

In that time, it's possible there may no longer even be life on Earth.
I wouldn't be surprised if some sort of terrible cosmic event, natural
disaster, or nuclear war will have rendered human life dead or moved
somewhere else. I doubt this will ever be anything to worry about.

Anyways, we will be dead unless we had clones of ourselves, but that is highly illogical.

Meh,
We will probably be dead when that happens..or if we recornate into animals..but I doubt thats gonna happen :/
