List of predictions of the end of the world

thumb|right|165px|The end of the world is near.
There's always been good business predicting the end of the world. The "end" of the "world" is pretty badly defined by most supernatural predictions. The rapture, for instance, is really just the beginning of the end, and signals civilization being sent back to the for a bit. During all this The Chosen are whisked up to heaven. Meanwhile, predictions of the end of the world in 2012 were wide-ranging, from a comet just tearing Earth in half (the rest of the universe spinning on as usual) to the complete and total end of everything ever. The latter is less scary because it's not like anything will be around afterwards to care. Other predictions see general massive catastrophic events that alter civilization on a fundamental level, seen with multiple predictions surrounding peak oil, climate change, and the COVID-19 pandemic with many different views of how they will do such a thing. 
In the case of some of the science-based predictions for how the universe will go on according to our knowledge of physics, there's no "end" as such. Matter and energy still exist, but in their lowest energy and most uniform state: the rub being that this state precludes the interactions needed to produce emergent structures. This includes stars, planets, and intelligent entities capable of experiencing the universe.
Here are some examples, with the predicted date of the end of all things.
==Unspecified date==
*Zoroastrianism claims that the end of the world will happen when a comet, called Gochihr, strikes the earth. It will cause all the world's metals to melt and will burn up the world. At the same time, sinners and the pious will pass through this river of molten metal. Sinners will have their sins burnt away and the pious will feel like they're "passing through warm milk."Chap 30 of the Bundahishn
* Biblical pinpointing of the end of the world: it had already started during the earthly life of Jesus circa first century CE: "in the end of the world hath [Christ] appeared".'[...] but now once in the end of the world hath [Christ] appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself." – 
*Norse myths say that Ragnarök will involve a battle between the gods, killing all but two of the humans, who will then repopulate the earth.Just forget about the genetic bottleneck and that this may have been a Christian-inspired later addition, though. What's important is the story.
*A number of scientific disasters have been suggested throughout the years. For example: epidemics,5 diseases that could wipe out humanity various asteroids/comets, super-volcano eruptions,What if the Yellowstone supervolcano erupts? and global warming. Note that these, like many other "end of world" predictions, would only be the end of humanity, or at most, of much/most/all life on Earth. The world itself would hardly notice the change.

*Revelation: Armageddon. Indeed, the very word "Apocalypse" is the Greek word for revelation.
==4th century==

*Hilary's disciple, the popular saint, cloak-wearer, and hammerer predicted the end would be around 400 CE.
==5th century==
*500: In what's considered the first prediction involving round numbers in the Christian calendar (hence prefiguring a lot of Y2K bullshit), (170-235 CE) used the dimensions of Noah's Ark and the idea of 1000-year days starting at the world's creation in 5500 BCE to predict Christ's coming in this year, writing in 234 CE. Sextus Julius Africanus had come up with something similar but without the same numerology.In His Name, E. Christopher Reyes, Trafford, 2014
==7th century==
*Muslims believed in the Qiyamah (Last Judgement), during which time JesusYes! That Jesus. will come to earth, end all wars, and kill ad-Dajjal — the Muslim anti-Christ. Then every person who ever lived will be bodily resurrected, before being judged by God. The faithful go to heaven, and the rest to hell. Apparently there's also room for some "People of the Book," i.e. Jews and Christians, though hopefully there won't be any wars between the lot in heaven. Presumably God will actually do something to stop fighting within his heavenly realm, unlike on Earth, so that celestial wars would seem unlikely.

*1524: The Great Flood of 1524 was predicted for February 4 which would coincide with a conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn, predicted by several astrologers including Johann Stöffler in 1499 and Johannes Carion in 1521. It was popularised by a vast number of pamphlets in the early 16th century, which has led to it being described as the first mass-media panic in history. Many people feared the worst, building boats and moving to higher ground; nothing happened, and in London, where some of the most extreme panic had manifested, it didn't even rain.The Flood of 1524: The First Mass-media Event in European History, Gustav-Adolf SchoenerFlood of 1524, Museum of Hoaxes
*1533: Michael Stifel, Judgement Day.In his book Ein Rechenbuchlin vom EndChrist. Apocalyps in Apocalypsim, he put the date and time at 3rd October 1533 at 8 am.

*1583: Another Great Conjunction (of Saturn and Jupiter), especially auspicious as the last in a water sign for several hundred years, it nonetheless failed to presage the end of the world. The only consequence was Pope Sixtus V issuing a papal bull, Coeli et terrae, in January 1586, condemning astrological predictions.

They were influential in the radical politics of the 1650s and tried to set up a council of saints to form the fifth monarchy (following the Babylonian, Persian, Macedonian, and Roman) which they predicted would bring the end of the world, based on .

*1843: The "Great Disappointment": William Miller predicts the end would come in 1843... then 1844... oh.

He concluded that the end of the world will happen on or after the year 2060. According to Malcolm Neaum, the producer of a TV documentary on Newton: "He spent something like 50 years and wrote 4,500 pages trying to predict when the end of the world was coming. But until now it was not known that he ever wrote down a final figure. He was very reluctant to do so.".In 1704, Isaac Newton Predicts the World Will End in 2060, Open Culture, Oct 14, 2015

*Before 2100: Dr. M.H. Kahn believes that all of all other predictions in the past are invalid. He cites pasages from the Qur'an; they imply that some time in the future, the current expansion of the universe will reverse. This will cause time and gravity to reverse. He writes:
"The contraction of the universe with reversal of time and gravity will commence the beginning of the
end which will last for thousands and possibly millions of years. We will be removed from the regressing effects of reversed time as we
come back alive in our own time. We will the be taken across many dimensions to beyond this universe. A beautiful natural
mechanism that is based on the laws of physics will cause all that to happen. This real end has nothing to do with wishful thinking and
predictions of priests or shamans."Predictions that the end of the world will happen after the year 2020 Religious Tolerance

*According to current models, the Sun is expected to increase in luminosity by 10% in the next 800 million years. This will cause several changes to the climate that will make the continued existence of life on Earth impossible, starting with photosynthetic organisms and eventually killing off all life.Future of the Earth — Climate impact

*The galaxy Andromeda (currently 2.5 million light years away) is expected to collide and merge with our galaxy, the Milky Way. This is unlikely to have much of an effect on whatever life is around, as galaxies are mostly empty space, although for any given planet, there is a tiny chance that its orbit could be disrupted due to gravitational tugs from passing stars.
==50 millionth century==
*5 billion years from now: According to accepted models of stellar evolution, the Sun will run out of hydrogen in its core to fuse into helium and will transition to a red giant as a result, expanding massively.The Sun's death The Sun will swallow Mercury and Venus, and may get large enough to swallow Earth as well. Even if it doesn't, Earth will be roasted to a cinder crisp. One school of thought predicts that the drag from the Sun's outer gas envelope will cause the Earth to spiral into the Sun, but as with all things scientific, there is another school of thought that says this won't happen.Red Giant Sun May Not Destroy Earth If it isn't swallowed, Earth will either get flung out into interstellar space due to tidal interactions with the Sun and the Sun's gradual loss of mass once it enters the red giant stage or will keep orbiting the dead Sun, perhaps reduced just to its core, for a long time to come. Never again will Earth see another day.
==200 millionth century==
*20 billion years from now: If the current rate of expansion of the universe grows, in 20 (or 22) billion years, the universe could be expanding so rapidly that atoms will no longer be able to hold on to their electrons.

Whether they are is currently an unresolved question in physics. and have a pile of similarly apocalyptic events that actually have some scientific basis. This is the Total Existence Failure of the entire universe; anything complex enough to be considered life that would care about it would likely have evaporated to nothing long before this. Out of all the above, this is the most likely.
==∞th century==
*The ("Big Freeze") is a scientific prediction that eventually the universe will expand so much it will no longer contain any thermodynamic free energy with which to do work. At this point the universe will be cold, dark, and essentially empty forever. That is, unless quantum fluctuations or some other phenomena eventually cause something to occur, like a new Big Bang. Forever is a long time, and this kind of physics is poorly understood at present.
==No prediction of the end of the world==
It is widely believed that there were prophecies in the 10th century CE that the world would end in 999 CE or 1000 CE. However, this seems to have been first mentioned by around 1500 and popularised in the 17th and 18th centuries by and others; sources from the 10th and 11th century show little evidence of a panic.The Year 1000 A.D. and the Millennial Panic, Edward P. Wallner, NESS: New England Skeptical Society, July 1998 Still, it's no more inaccurate than any other prediction on the list.
