}}</ref> present scientific understanding in various fields has allowed a projected course for the farthest future events to be sketched out, if only in the broadest strokes. These fields include [[astrophysics]], which has revealed how [[planet]]s and [[star]]s form, interact and die; [[particle physics]], which has revealed how matter behaves at the smallest scales, and [[plate tectonics]], which shows how continents shift over millennia. | |||
All predictions of the [[future of the Earth]], [[Future of the Solar System|the Solar System]] and [[future of an expanding universe|the Universe]] must account for the [[second law of thermodynamics]], which states that [[entropy]], or a loss of the energy available to do work, must increase over time.<ref name="Nave" /> [[Star]]s must eventually exhaust their supply of [[hydrogen]] fuel and burn out; close encounters will gravitationally fling planets from their star systems, and star systems from galaxies.<ref name="five ages" /> Eventually, matter itself will come under the influence of [[radioactive decay]], as even the most stable materials break apart into subatomic particles.<ref name="dying" /> However, as current data suggest that the [[Flat universe|Universe is flat]], and thus will not [[Big Crunch|collapse in on itself]] after a finite time,<ref name="Komatsu" /> the infinite future potentially allows for the occurrence of a number of massively improbable events, such as the formation of a [[Boltzmann brain]].<ref name="linde" /> | |||
These timelines cover events from roughly [[List of millennia#Future|eight thousand years from now]]{{efn| name = time}} to the farthest reaches of future time. A number of alternate future events are listed to account for questions still unresolved, such as whether [[Human extinction|humans survive]], whether [[proton decay|protons decay]] or whether the Earth will be destroyed by the Sun's expansion into a [[red giant]]. | |||

30 year-old Entertainer or Range Artist Wesley from Drumheller, really loves vehicle, property developers properties for sale in singapore singapore and horse racing. Finds inspiration by traveling to Works of Antoni Gaudí.
While predictions of the future can never be absolutely certain,[2] present scientific understanding in various fields has allowed a projected course for the farthest future events to be sketched out, if only in the broadest strokes. These fields include astrophysics, which has revealed how planets and stars form, interact and die; particle physics, which has revealed how matter behaves at the smallest scales, and plate tectonics, which shows how continents shift over millennia.
All predictions of the future of the Earth, the Solar System and the Universe must account for the second law of thermodynamics, which states that entropy, or a loss of the energy available to do work, must increase over time.[3] Stars must eventually exhaust their supply of hydrogen fuel and burn out; close encounters will gravitationally fling planets from their star systems, and star systems from galaxies.[1] Eventually, matter itself will come under the influence of radioactive decay, as even the most stable materials break apart into subatomic particles.[4] However, as current data suggest that the Universe is flat, and thus will not collapse in on itself after a finite time,[5] the infinite future potentially allows for the occurrence of a number of massively improbable events, such as the formation of a Boltzmann brain.[6]
These timelines cover events from roughly eight thousand years from nowTemplate:Efn to the farthest reaches of future time. A number of alternate future events are listed to account for questions still unresolved, such as whether humans survive, whether protons decay or whether the Earth will be destroyed by the Sun's expansion into a red giant.
Key
Future of the Earth, the Solar System and the Universe
| File:Key.svg | Years from now | Event |
|---|---|---|
| Astronomy and astrophysics | 36,000 | The small red dwarf star Ross 248 passes within 3.024 light years of Earth, becoming the closest star to the Sun.[7] |
| Astronomy and astrophysics | 42,000 | Alpha Centauri becomes the nearest star system to the Sun once more as Ross 248 recedes.[7] |
| Geology and planetary science | 50,000 | The current interglacial period ends, according to the work of Berger and Loutre,[8] sending the Earth back into a glacial period of the current ice age, assuming limited effects of anthropogenic global warming.
Niagara Falls will have eroded away the remaining 32 km to Lake Erie, and ceased to exist.[9] |
| Astronomy and astrophysics | 50,000 | The length of the day used for astronomical timekeeping reaches about 86,401 SI seconds, due to lunar tides braking the Earth's rotation. Under the present-day timekeeping system, a leap second will need to be added to the clock every day.[10] |
| Astronomy and astrophysics | 100,000 | The proper motion of stars across the celestial sphere, which is the result of their movement through the galaxy, renders many of the constellations unrecognisable.[11] |
| Astronomy and astrophysics | 100,000Template:Efn | The hypergiant star VY Canis Majoris will have likely exploded in a hypernova.[12] |
| Geology and planetary science | 100,000Template:Efn | Earth will likely have undergone a supervolcanic eruption large enough to erupt 400 km3 of magma.[13] |
| Geology and planetary science | 250,000 | Lōʻihi, the youngest volcano in the Hawaiian–Emperor seamount chain, rises above the surface of the ocean and becomes a new volcanic island.[14] |
| Astronomy and astrophysics | 500,000Template:Efn | Earth will have likely been hit by a meteorite of roughly 1 km in diameter, assuming it cannot be averted.[15] |
| Geology and planetary science | 1 millionTemplate:Efn | Earth will likely have undergone a supervolcanic eruption large enough to erupt 3,200 km3 of magma; an event comparable to the Toba supereruption 75,000 years ago.[13] |
| Astronomy and astrophysics | 1 millionTemplate:Efn | Highest estimated time until the red supergiant star Betelgeuse explodes in a supernova. The explosion is expected to be easily visible in daylight.[16][17] |
| Astronomy and astrophysics | 1.4 million | The star Gliese 710 passes as close as 1.1 light years to the Sun before moving away. This may gravitationally perturb members of the Oort cloud, a halo of icy bodies orbiting at the edge of the Solar System, thereafter increasing the likelihood of a cometary impact in the inner Solar System.[18] |
| Astronomy and astrophysics | 8 million | The moon Phobos comes within 7,000 km of Mars, the Roche limit, at which point tidal forces will disintegrate the moon and turn it into a ring of orbiting debris that will continue to spiral in toward the planet.[19] |
| Geology and planetary science | 10 million | The widening East African Rift valley is flooded by the Red Sea, causing a new ocean basin to divide the continent of Africa.[20] |
| Astronomy and astrophysics | 11 million | The ring of debris around Mars hits the surface of the planet.[19] |
| Geology and planetary science | 50 million | The Californian coast begins to be subducted into the Aleutian Trench due to its northward movement along the San Andreas Fault.[21]
Africa's collision with Eurasia closes the Mediterranean Basin and creates a mountain range similar to the Himalayas.[22] |
| Astronomy and astrophysics | 100 millionTemplate:Efn | Earth will have likely been hit by a meteorite comparable in size to the one that triggered the K–Pg extinction 65 million years ago.[23] |
| Mathematics | 230 million | Beyond this time, the orbits of the planets become impossible to predict.[24] |
| Astronomy and astrophysics | 240 million | From its present position, the Solar System completes one full orbit of the Galactic center.[25] |
| Geology and planetary science | 250 million | All the continents on Earth may fuse into a supercontinent. Three potential arrangements of this configuration have been dubbed Amasia, Novopangaea, and Pangaea Ultima.[26][27] |
| Geology and planetary science | 400–500 million | The supercontinent (Pangaea Ultima, Novopangaea, or Amasia) will have likely rifted apart.[27] |
| Astronomy and astrophysics | 500–600 millionTemplate:Efn | Estimated time until a gamma ray burst, or massive, hyperenergetic supernova, occurs within 6,500 light-years of Earth; close enough for its rays to affect Earth's ozone layer and potentially trigger a mass extinction, assuming the hypothesis is correct that a previous such explosion triggered the Ordovician–Silurian extinction event. However, the supernova would have to be precisely oriented relative to Earth to have any negative effect.[28] |
| Astronomy and astrophysics | 600 million | Tidal acceleration moves the Moon far enough from Earth that total solar eclipses are no longer possible.[29] |
| Geology and planetary science | 600 million | The Sun's increasing luminosity begins to disrupt the carbonate–silicate cycle; higher luminosity increases weathering of surface rocks, which traps carbon dioxide in the ground as carbonate. As water evaporates from the Earth's surface, rocks harden, causing plate tectonics to slow and eventually stop. Without volcanoes to recycle carbon into the Earth's atmosphere, carbon dioxide levels begin to fall.[30] By this time, they will fall to the point at which C3 photosynthesis is no longer possible. All plants that utilize C3 photosynthesis (~99 percent of present-day species) will die.[31] |
| Geology and planetary science | 800 million | Carbon dioxide levels fall to the point at which C4 photosynthesis is no longer possible.[31] Multicellular life dies out.[32] |
| Geology and planetary science | 1 billionTemplate:Efn | The Sun's luminosity has increased by 10 percent, causing Earth's surface temperatures to reach an average of ~320 K (47 °C, 116 °F). The atmosphere will become a "moist greenhouse", resulting in a runaway evaporation of the oceans.[33] Pockets of water may still be present at the poles, allowing abodes for simple life.[34][35] |
| Geology and planetary science | 1.3 billion | Eukaryotic life dies out due to carbon dioxide starvation. Only prokaryotes remain.[32] |
| Geology and planetary science | 1.5–1.6 billion | The Sun's increasing luminosity causes its circumstellar habitable zone to move outwards; as carbon dioxide increases in Mars's atmosphere, its surface temperature rises to levels akin to Earth during the ice age.[32][36] |
| Geology and planetary science | 2.3 billion | The Earth's outer core freezes, if the inner core continues to grow at its current rate of 1 mm per year.[37][38] Without its liquid outer core, the Earth's magnetic field shuts down,[39] and charged particles emanating from the Sun strip away the ozone layer, which protects the Earth from harmful ultraviolet rays.[40] |
| Geology and planetary science | 2.8 billion | Earth's surface temperature, even at the poles, reaches an average of ~420 K (147 °C, 296 °F). At this point life, now reduced to unicellular colonies in isolated, scattered microenvironments such as high-altitude lakes or subsurface caves, will completely die out.[30][41]Template:Efn |
| Astronomy and astrophysics | 3 billion | Median point at which the Moon's increasing distance from the Earth lessens its stabilising effect on the Earth's axial tilt. As a consequence, Earth's true polar wander becomes chaotic and extreme.[42] |
| Astronomy and astrophysics | 3.3 billion | 1 percent chance that Mercury's orbit may become so elongated as to collide with Venus, sending the inner Solar System into chaos and potentially leading to a planetary collision with Earth.[43] |
| Geology and planetary science | 3.5 billion | Surface conditions on Earth are comparable to those on Venus today.[44] |
| Astronomy and astrophysics | 3.6 billion | Neptune's moon Triton falls through the planet's Roche limit, potentially disintegrating into a planetary ring system similar to Saturn's.[45] |
| Astronomy and astrophysics | 4 billion | Median point by which the Andromeda Galaxy will have collided with the Milky Way, which will thereafter merge to form a galaxy dubbed "Milkomeda".[46] The planets of the Solar System are expected to be relatively unaffected by this collision.[47][48] [49] |
| Astronomy and astrophysics | 5.4 billion | With the hydrogen supply exhausted at its core, the Sun leaves the main sequence and begins to evolve into a red giant.[50] |
| Astronomy and astrophysics | 7.5 billion | Earth and Mars may become tidally locked with the expanding Sun.[36] |
| Astronomy and astrophysics | 7.9 billion | The Sun reaches the tip of the red-giant branch of the Hertzsprung–Russell diagram, achieving its maximum radius of 256 times the present day value.[50] In the process, Mercury, Venus and possibly Earth are destroyed.[51]
During these times, it is possible that Saturn's moon Titan could achieve surface temperatures necessary to support life.[52] |
| Astronomy and astrophysics | 8 billion | Sun becomes a carbon-oxygen white dwarf with about 54.05 percent its present mass.[50][53][54]Template:Efn |
| Astronomy and astrophysics | 20 billion | The end of the Universe in the Big Rip scenario, assuming a model of dark energy with w = −1.5.[55] Observations of galaxy cluster speeds by the Chandra X-ray Observatory suggest that this will not occur.[56] |
| Astronomy and astrophysics | 50 billion | Assuming both survive the Sun's expansion, by this time the Earth and the Moon become tidelocked, with each showing only one face to the other.[57][58] Thereafter, the tidal action of the Sun will extract angular momentum from the system, causing the lunar orbit to decay and the Earth's spin to accelerate.[59] |
| Astronomy and astrophysics | 100 billion | The Universe's expansion causes all galaxies beyond the Milky Way's Local Group to disappear beyond the cosmic light horizon, removing them from the observable universe.[60] |
| Astronomy and astrophysics | 150 billion | The cosmic microwave background cools from its current temperature of ~2.7 K to 0.3 K, rendering it essentially undetectable with current technology.[61] |
| Astronomy and astrophysics | 450 billion | Median point by which the ~47 galaxies[62] of the Local Group will coalesce into a single large galaxy.[4] |
| Astronomy and astrophysics | 800 billion | Expected time when the net light emission from the combined Milkomeda galaxy begins to decline as the red dwarf stars pass through their blue dwarf stage of peak luminosity.[63] |
| Astronomy and astrophysics | 1012 (1 trillion) | Low estimate for the time until star formation ends in galaxies as galaxies are depleted of the gas clouds they need to form stars.[4]
The universe's expansion, assuming a constant dark energy density, multiplies the wavelength of the cosmic microwave background by 1029, exceeding the scale of the cosmic light horizon and rendering its evidence of the Big Bang undetectable. However, it may still be possible to determine the expansion of the universe through the study of hypervelocity stars.[60] |
| Astronomy and astrophysics | 3×1013 (30 trillion) | Estimated time for the black dwarf Sun to undergo a close encounter with another star in the local Solar neighborhood. Whenever two stars (or stellar remnants) pass close to each other, their planets' orbits can be disrupted, potentially ejecting them from the system entirely. On average, the closer a planet's orbit to its parent star, the longer it takes to be ejected in this manner, because stars rarely pass so closely.[64] |
| Astronomy and astrophysics | 1014 (100 trillion) | High estimate for the time until normal star formation ends in galaxies.[4] This marks the transition from the Stelliferous Era to the Degenerate Era; with no free hydrogen to form new stars, all remaining stars slowly exhaust their fuel and die.[1] |
| Astronomy and astrophysics | 1.1–1.2×1014 (110–120 trillion) | Time by which all stars in the universe will have exhausted their fuel (the longest-lived stars, low-mass red dwarfs, have lifespans of roughly 10–20 trillion years).[4] After this point, the stellar-mass objects remaining are stellar remnants (white dwarfs, neutron stars and black holes). Brown dwarfs also remain.
Collisions between brown dwarfs will create new red dwarf stars on a marginal level: on average, a few dozen at most will be present in the galaxy. Collisions between stellar remnants will create occasional supernovae.[4] |
| Astronomy and astrophysics | 1015 (1 quadrillion) | Estimated time until stellar close encounters detach all planets in Solar Systems from their orbits.[4]
By this point, the Sun will have cooled to five degrees above absolute zero.[65] |
| Astronomy and astrophysics | 1019 to 1020 | Estimated time until 90% - 99% of brown dwarfs and stellar remnants are ejected from galaxies. When two objects pass close enough to each other, they exchange orbital energy, with lower-mass objects tending to gain energy. Through repeated encounters, the lower-mass objects can gain enough energy in this manner to be ejected from their galaxy. This process eventually causes the galaxy to eject the majority of its brown dwarfs and stellar remnants.[4][66] |
| Astronomy and astrophysics | 1020 | Estimated time until the Earth collides with the Sun due to the decay of its orbit via emission of gravitational radiation,[67] if the Earth is neither first engulfed by the red giant Sun a few billion years from now[68][69] nor subsequently ejected from its orbit by a stellar encounter.[67] |
| Astronomy and astrophysics | 1030 | Estimated time until those stars not ejected from galaxies (1% - 10%) fall into their galaxies' central supermassive black holes. By this point, with binary stars having fallen into each other, and planets into their stars, via emission of gravitational radiation, only solitary objects (stellar remnants, brown dwarfs, ejected planets, black holes) will remain in the universe.[4] |
| Particle physics | 2×1036 | The estimated time for all nucleons in the observable Universe to decay, if the proton half-life takes its smallest possible value (8.2×1033 years).[70][71]Template:Efn |
| Particle physics | 3×1043 | Estimated time for all nucleons in the observable Universe to decay, if the proton half-life takes the largest possible value, 1041 years,[4] assuming that the Big Bang was inflationary and that the same process that made baryons predominate over anti-baryons in the early Universe makes protons decay.[71]Template:Efn By this time, if protons do decay, the Black Hole Era, in which black holes are the only remaining celestial objects, begins.[1][4] |
| Particle physics | 1065 | Assuming that protons do not decay, estimated time for rigid objects like rocks to rearrange their atoms and molecules via quantum tunneling. On this timescale all matter is liquid.[67] |
| Particle physics | 5.8×1068 | Estimated time until a stellar mass black hole with a mass of 3 solar masses decays by the Hawking process.[72] |
| Particle physics | 1.9×1098 | Estimated time until NGC 4889, the currently largest known supermassive black hole with a mass of 21 billion solar masses, decays by the Hawking process.[72] |
| Particle physics | 1.7×10106 | Estimated time until a supermassive black hole with a mass of 20 trillion solar masses decays by the Hawking process.[72] This marks the end of the Black Hole Era. Beyond this time, if protons do decay, the Universe enters the Dark Era, in which all physical objects have decayed to subatomic particles, gradually winding down to their final energy state.[1][4] |
| Particle physics | 10200 | Estimated high time for all nucleons in the observable Universe to decay (if they don't via the above process), through any one of many different mechanisms allowed in modern Particle physics (higher-order baryon non-conservation processes, virtual black holes, sphalerons, etc.), on time scales of 1046 to 10200 years.[4] |
| Particle physics | 101500 | Assuming protons do not decay, the estimated time until all baryonic matter has either fused together to form iron-56 or decayed from a higher mass element into iron-56.[67] (see iron star) |
| Astronomy and astrophysics | Template:EfnTemplate:Efn | Low estimate for the time until all matter collapses into black holes, assuming no proton decay.[67] Subsequent Black Hole Era and transition to the Dark Era are, on this timescale, instantaneous. |
| Particle physics | Estimated time for a Boltzmann brain to appear in the vacuum via a spontaneous entropy decrease.[6] | |
| Particle physics | Estimated time for random quantum fluctuations to generate a new Big Bang, according to Carroll and Chen.[73] | |
| Astronomy and astrophysics | High estimate for the time until all matter collapses into black holes, again assuming no proton decay.[67] | |
| Particle physics | High estimate for the time for the Universe to reach its final energy state.[6] | |
| Mathematics | Scale of an estimated Poincaré recurrence time for the quantum state of a hypothetical box containing an isolated black hole of stellar mass.[74] This time assumes a statistical model subject to Poincaré recurrence. A much simplified way of thinking about this time is that in a model in which history repeats itself arbitrarily many times due to properties of statistical mechanics, this is the time scale when it will first be somewhat similar (for a reasonable choice of "similar") to its current state again. | |
| Mathematics | Scale of an estimated Poincaré recurrence time for the quantum state of a hypothetical box containing a black hole with the mass within the presently visible region of the Universe.[74] | |
| Mathematics | Scale of an estimated Poincaré recurrence time for the quantum state of a hypothetical box containing a black hole with the estimated mass of the entire Universe, observable or not, assuming Linde's chaotic inflationary model with an inflaton whose mass is 10−6 Planck masses.[74] |

| Astronomy and astrophysics | 12,000–13,000 | The Earth's axial precession will make Vega the North Star.[78][79] | |
| Astronomy and astrophysics | 13,000 | By this point, halfway through the precessional cycle, Earth's axial tilt will be reversed, causing summer and winter to occur on opposite sides of Earth's orbit. This means that the seasons in the northern hemisphere, which experiences more pronounced seasonal variation due to a higher percentage of land, will be even more extreme, as it will be facing towards the Sun at Earth's perihelion and away from the Sun at aphelion.[79] | |
| Astronomy and astrophysics | 14,000-17,000 | The Earth's axial precession will make Canopus the South Star, but it will only be within 10° of the south celestial pole.[80] | |

| Astronomy and astrophysics | Template:Age in years and days | 571,741 AD | A simultaneous transit of Venus and the Earth as seen from Mars[76] |
Spacecraft and space exploration
To date five spacecraft (Voyagers 1 and 2, Pioneers 10 and 11 and New Horizons) are on trajectories which will take them out of the Solar System and into interstellar space. Barring an unlikely collision, the craft should persist indefinitely.[86]

Assuming a similar mode of communication is employed, it should take at least as long again for any reply to reach Earth. |
| Astronomy and astrophysics | 32,000 | Pioneer 10 passes within 3 light years of Ross 248.[88][89] |
| Astronomy and astrophysics | 40,000 | Voyager 1 passes within 1.6 light years of AC+79 3888, a star in the constellation Camelopardalis.[90] |
