300,000年
彼得·圖特爾(Peter Tuthill)
約8000光年外的三星系統WR104 會在約300,000年後成為超新星 ,並有機會放出伽瑪射線暴 ;若其自轉軸與地球的夾角在12°內則會威脅到地球上的生命。較新的光譜資料則顯示該夾角很可能在30°至40°間。

500,000年
尼克·博斯特倫 (Nick Bostrom)
他指出一顆直徑約一公里的小行星的撞擊足以使人類滅絕,而這類撞擊預測為每500,000年發生一次。

1,000,000年
倫敦地質學會(Geological Society of London)
地球很可能會在1,000,000年內發生一次與多峇巨災 相當的超級火山 爆發,並噴出3,200立方公里的岩漿。

太陽亮度提高使氣溫升高,使複雜生物無法生存;另外地殼表面亦會加速風化,使大氣中的二氧化碳 濃度急劇下降。植物不能進行光合作用,而缺乏植物亦令大氣失去氧氣和臭氧,使動物滅絕。

在太陽 終止了現狀的發展階段之後,將會膨脹成紅巨星 ,可能將會吞噬地球,或將地球呈完全燒灼的狀態,科學界普遍接受屆時地球將會毀滅。然而當太陽(在數百萬年間)逐漸變熱,僅僅10億年內,地球可能會變得太熱而無法孕育生命。

7,590,000,000年
大衛·鮑威爾(David Powell)
7,590,000,000年後太陽已成為紅巨星,即將膨脹至原來大小的256倍。月球進入地球的洛希極限 內,被拉扯成碎片並大部分撞擊地球,隨即皆墮入太陽。

大撕裂 理論預示了整個宇宙終究會因空間尺度擴展 而逐漸被扯開。此理論的其中一個推測認為終末大約會在220億。

宇宙熱寂說 是一種宇宙終極命運 的假說。屆時宇宙會進入一種沒有熱力學自由能 的狀態,因此再也無法產生運動與維持生命。

Many authorities who had loudly proclaimed that the world would definitely end in the year 1000 explained their obvious miscalculation by "realising" they should have added Jesus' life span to their prediction. As a result, the world would now reliably end in 1033

History has countless examples of people who have proclaimed that the return of Jesus Christ is imminent, but perhaps there has never been a stranger messenger than a hen in the English town of Leeds in 1806. It seems that a hen began laying eggs on which the phrase "Christ is coming" was written. As news of this miracle spread, many people became convinced that doomsday was at hand — until a curious local actually watched the hen laying one of the prophetic eggs and discovered someone had hatched a hoax.
