In collaboration with researchers from Toho University in Japan, NASA researchers used supercomputers to do this Model and determine how long life will remain possible on Earth. Calculated end date for everyone Life on Earth is still a long way off, but researchers warn that the potential end date for life on Earth could be very soon. Humans It is faster than we previously thought.
According to the study, the end of the potential for life on Earth depends on the age of the Sun. In the next billions of years, our Sun will continue to grow and heat the Earth to the point where life will no longer be possible. Researchers estimate that this will happen in the year 1,000,002,021, when Earth’s surface conditions become so harsh that life becomes impossible for even the most resistant organisms.
What about human life?
For us humans, things will get dangerous even before that. As the Sun gets hotter and hotter, Earth’s atmosphere will change dramatically. This will lead to low oxygen content, poor air quality and a sharp rise in temperatures. These changes were predicted using a detailed model of climate change and solar radiation.
Signs of these changes can already be felt as well. The intensity of coronal mass ejections and solar storms has increased, affecting the Earth’s magnetic field, which actually reduces the oxygen content of the atmosphere, giving researchers insight into the long-term effects. Human-induced climate change is also accelerating our progress toward the end, with the world already seeing increases in global temperatures and melting of polar ice.
No specific end date has been set for human life. However, according to the researchers, it is very likely that environmental conditions became too difficult for humans much earlier than the billion-year time frame.
Potential solutions for the distant future
Life on Earth will not end suddenly, but will end in slow, irreversible decline. But despite the long period, researchers stress the importance of preparing and adapting to humanity’s future now.
Some scientists propose technological interventions, including closed life support systems and artificial habitats to keep environments habitable for as long as possible.
Meanwhile, others are looking to other planets in our solar system. Longer-term space colonization plans, including Mars missions led by NASA and SpaceX, are being explored as potential strategies for preserving human life once Earth itself becomes uninhabitable.
