A study using NASA supercomputer simulations predicts Earth will become uninhabitable around the year 1,000,002,021 due to the Sun's evolution and climate change, with early warning signs including increased solar activity and rising temperatures. The planet's biosphere is expected to end long before then, as conditions become too hostile for life.
Stephen Hawking predicted that if current trends in population growth and energy consumption continue, Earth could become uninhabitable by 2600, turning into a 'giant ball of fire.' He highlighted global warming, climate change, nuclear war, artificial intelligence, and pandemics as existential threats. Although NASA has not confirmed Hawking's specific claims, they acknowledge the importance of studying global threats. Hawking emphasized the need for change to prevent these dire outcomes.
