The Future of our World
Created on: September 30th, 2006
A look into the future of our world and solar system. Compiled from various sources. Images of the growing sun and views from Earth are composites made by me from various images on the web.

Excellent. Although, in your 'galaxies collide segment', you say that many supernovae will result from stars being born, when really, it's the opposite. Supernovae would indeed occur due to gravitational instability (from the colliding galaxies) and as a result, stars would be born in the gas clouds of the supernovae. :)
good thing that "jesus came" right somewhere in the middle of all this stuff, and god's plan for the world ends with some kind of armageddon thats supposed to destroy the entire universe...........because, as we know....we are all that's important in this universe that we've only been able to see like 3% of from where we sit on this oh-so-important little blue planet.
The sooner we get to outer space and meet aliens, the sooner we can stop killing each other and begin annihilating every living lifeform in the universe that isn't from Earth. Out of spite. Especially sentient aliens. Those are really gay. Humans > all. Space elves should be the first to die. And possibly Ewoks.
You're getting 5's for the same reason Smoothmedia got 5's for a tiny glimpse. Because the benighted children of YTMND never have the inclination to look outside of YTMND to learn fascinating things like what was presented in this great slide show. I don't know whether to commend you for enriching their experience here at YTMND or downvote you for exploiting the fact that they don't already know these things and so would be blown away by them, giving you instant 5's. So it's WS, no more no less.
Stuff you might want to add on at the end:
*If our current understanding is correct* the universe is expanding exponentially. Should this continue into the future, it's possible that the universe's hubble radius will shrink to an infinitely small size. (The hubble radius is the distance from an observer in which distant objects appear to be moving away at the speed of light)
Essentially, all physical structure will be ripped apart by the universe's expansion.

Hunh, I faved this but I haven't fived this... well, that changes now. Glad to see this awesome YTMND getting a bit more attention. While my YTMND chronicles what COULD happen to our world, this chronicles what WILL happen to our world. It's an inspiration. Now, if only the "Size of our World" YTMNDs could also benefit from the attention...
Wow... I can't believe you people actually think this is a good way to encourage peace. No matter what we do, the human race is eventually doomed. That's why we must make NOW good. Anyway, you have the continents drifting the wrong way, moron. The Pacific ocean is shrinking, not the Atlantic. Start paying more attention in your HS science classes and I might +3 this.
Overall, extremely well done, but you jumped the gun on the black dwarf by quite a bit. I don't know exactly how long it would take for a white dwarf to cool entirely, but most astrophysicists beleive that no black dwarfs exist yet. That suggests a white dwarf lifespan in excess of ten billion years.
Fyi, you made some spelling/grammatical errors.. two on one page (too lazy to re-watch it and count). It's should be its, intersteller should be interstellar. It really detracted from the whole thing imo... adding to that, I'm pretty damn positive that the tectonic motion will be basically the reverse regarding the Americas. There is (currently) nothing nearly as powerful or earth-moving (no pun intended) as the mid-Atlantic ridge. Also, there is a new theory floating around called the Big Rip, (continued)
This is really interesting, obviously by just a few thousand years from now I'd say our technology will be impossibly advanced to the point at which nothing like this poses a threat, and by the billions of years in the future that Earth would be completely eradicated we'll probably hold the key to travel to different dimensions and all kinds of crazy sh*t.
The events happening after 7 billion years assume that our universe will keep expanding. However it could also go back into a Big Crunch, or more controversial ending, the Big Rip. Gravity goes in reverse, because of dark energy's expansion, ripping everything to shreds right down to the atom. The Big Rip scares me.
