Are We Doomed?

Welcome back guys, Thanks for tuning in with TMC.

Life on Earth has always gone through extreme circumstances and in the process more than thrice the number of species that are present today have wiped out, leaving only those who could thrive in those extreme circumstances, and that's what we call evolution.

This is the basic principle in the cycle of creation i.e. a new thing comes into existence only if the previous ones are doomed or in the verge of extinction. We often say that many species of flora and fauna are endangered etc, but, have we ever thought of ourselves in the list? Well the answer is YES, we have and we have found the entire life on Earth can wipe out any second.

Asteroids  meteorites are always a threat to us, they are found in abundance and their length varies from a few kilometers to 100 km.  The space rock that is thought to have wiped the dinosaurs was just 16 km long! Just imagine if a asteroid having a diameter of around 50km hits the Earth what might happen? Perhaps everything might be destroyed, even water! and the blue planet would appear like a ball of fire ( if there would be anyone to see it! xD).

This doesn't end here, the Sun also seems to be a threat, it has completed half its life cycle and it will become a red giant and its radius would expand near the Earth's orbit, but still we have a lot of time nearly around 5 billion years!

So that's for today!
