I didn't actually mean that it's the fate of every star to become a black hole at the end of it's life, even if my post may seem to suggest that. Our star will become part of a black hole when it's mass is one day swallowed up by one.

Oh, yeah, I'm no astrophysicist either, but I don't think we know enough about black holes to say with confidence that everything will eventually converge into one superdupermassive black hole (singularity) at some point in the very distant future. I mean, if I understand what you're saying correctly, you're repeating the theory known as the Big Crunch which predicts that everything in the universe will eventually stop expanding and begin contracting.

Note that "holes" is plural, although yes, I see .. there's an it there instead of them at the end of the sentence. Sigh

Point taken, but for the threads sake it sounds 10x better if the title is WORLD ENDING! Anyways if there is no more people to verify the worlds existence we may as well call it over since we would have no way of knowing.

If I remember correctly, Willi Hennig, the father of modern cladistics, suggested that a species goes extinct (changes) when it has diverged into two species that are sexually isolated from eachother. At that point in time, as if that could happen in one recognizable moment, the parent species is considered gone and two new species have appeared. From some points of view, it makes a lot of sense, but alas not always and becomes horribly impractical in practice as taxonomic relationships are probed, tested, reviewed and changed over time. Divergence of the human species is a possibility though. Perhaps we'll one day genetically design humans which are sexually isolated from us "naturals", but are still able to successfully have sexually viable offspring with eachother. Or perhaps we'll colonize a distant planet, but then a catastrophy isolates a colony for many hundreds of thousands of years so that they evolve differently from other humans.

I'm bored, and will construct a theoretical scenario for the end of our world (as we know it) on this planet.
