@ Scout; that really is quite specific. you refer to the weopon as the as oppose to any old a ( or even an depending on its vowel / constanant order ). your description of it infact is just short of a schematic. you also say that we will draw first blood and are specific to point out that the aliens are not invaders but ambassadors...ehemmm should we be worried, like, should i stay at home and wear the tinfoil stetson tomorrow.

I agree with Druid. Just keep a couple of layers of aluminum foil on your head, regardless of the type of hat, and you won't have to worry about the Martians or the CIA contaminating your brain. Martians and CIA, hmmmmmm, could they be the same?????

@ code; naw dude yer way off the mark there. if it were fashion i was after i'd just shave my head and don a bandana ( neutral in colour of course, just incase the invading E.T.'s were affiliated to any particular criminal faction --- not beyond the realms of posibility since half of them already speak a language utterly alien already. ).
i use the stetson so taht residual alien s*** does'nt roll down my back after it deflects off my tinfoil protedted skull.

Providing that we don't kill ourselves from stupidity, the sun will, in approximatly 5 billion years, begin to run out of hydrogen to fuse into helium. At this point the sun's core collapses from lack of fusion reactions. The suns core stops expanding when it gets hot enough to fuse helium into lithium (i think thats the element name... :\). At this point, the outer layers of the remaining hydrogen and helium start to swell. No, this does NOT increase gravitational pull. it DOES however increase the temperature on earth's surface. Eventually the sun will be running low on helium, but by now it won't matter because the sun will be larger than the orbit of Mars, and earth will be a piece of charcoal inside of its atmosphere. (to anyone wondering, the sun fuses elements all the way to carbon before it can no longer fuse, at which point its core collaspes into a white dwarf and its outer layers float off in whats called a "planetary nebula". This nebula can NOT spawn new stars. Yes, i know waaaaay too much about this 
).
As for the poles on the earth reversing, yes that will happen soon, except theres one thing you left out. The fact that at the exact point of equality between the polarity switch, WE WILL HAVE NO ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELD! That means we're all fried by UV radiation, solar wind, gamma rays, all that nasty stuff.
And thats scheduled to happen in our lifetimes, provided we aren't all old geezers right now. Damn. Unless of course we are lucky and the scientists miscalculated.
Or an asteroid could end all life on earth. Studies have shown that it happens regularly, and we're 300000 years overdue. Crud.
Or if we manage to fly to other planets, our entire galaxy is going to crash into the andromeda galaxies in a few trillions of years, and tidal forces would fling our sun (whichever one we happen to be colonizing) into the void (no, us actually hitting another star has a probability of 1 to a gajillion) where we will live until the sun burns out, at which point we'll freeze, alone, in space.
Or if we manage to survive that, the entire universe will either collapse or keep expanding forever until its a cold dark place in which nothing can survive.
Depressing, isn't it?

That's...not going to happen. When the magnetic field reverses our magnetic field will indeed be weaker, but it's not the magnetic field that protects us from harmful UV rays and the like. It's the atmosphere that deflects and absorbs 99% of the harmful stuff, and that will be unaffected by the change. Think about it: the poles switch every 200,000 years or so and there hasn't been a mass extinction on earth for a very long before that.

Yeah, that's what I'd put my money on. Like it or not, we aren't going to be around forever. There's not really much point in worrying about the human race in a billion or perhaps even a million years time; extinctions are a way of life on this planet and it is pretty much inevitable.
Just no-one mention global warming. For about the gazzilionth time, we cannot destroy this planet by heating it up a little bit. We can destroy ourselves, but certainly not the planet. And especially not with greenhouse gases.

I think our Solar system itself will end ultimatly because the Sun will die and without it, we die and everything else in the system for that matter. The world itself will probably end because the Universe is ever expanding and the further planets go from their suns, the less heat they recieve and therefore everything dies.
There is that famous thing about our Universe simply being within a larger Universe and that Universe being within a larger one still. I dont know much about that though. Then theres this business about going through worm holes and ending up in entirely new universes and stuff.
Ultimatly, I couldnt give a balls, im not gonna be here to see it, the United States of America will launch an airstrike on my home to liberate my £15.45 worth of home central heating oil on the assumption that me and everyone else in Belfast has been trying to enrich uranium.
thats when my world ends. (im only being a sarcastic pig by the way)

Hehe, you guys should really read this website... it's full of almost any likely and unlikely world-ending scenario you can think of, sorted by "any day now", "near future", "distant future" and "religion", and they also give a good analysis of it's likelyness of happening...
and it's fun to read too ^^
