Life on Earth will be destroyed after 3 billion years

Scientists surmised, life on Earth will continue to exist for 3 billion years, but humanity will even die slowly long before that.

Scientists say that the fact that the Earth is getting closer to the Sun will eventually lead to the result that temperatures rise very high, the oceans are dry and all life forms on our planet are extinct.

However, according to a new study by scientists at the University of East Anglia (Norwich, UK), human-induced global climate change will make human life impossible to extend until far. That gloomy scene happened. The researchers say our best chance of surviving is to migrate to another planet and Mars is the most appropriate option.

Andrew Rushby, a member of the research team, explained: "We estimate the Earth will no longer be residing in the 1.75 - 3.25 billion years range, the current adjective. After this time, The Earth will be in the Sun's "hot zone", with temperatures so high that the oceans will evaporate and we will witness the catastrophic extinction of all life forms.

Of course, the conditions necessary for human existence and other complex life forms will end much earlier. This process is being accelerated by artificial climate change.

Humans will be in trouble even if the temperature only increases by a small amount. And when it comes to the end of the time of destruction, only microorganisms in suitable environments can withstand the heat. "

Astronomers have identified nearly 1,000 planets outside the solar system. Astrobiology experts are studying some of these planets to find the best place for life. They discovered that the recently discovered planet - Gliese 581 d - could be warm and pleasant for another 5.47 billion years.

Scientists Rushby stressed that scientists have not yet discovered any planet that really resembles Earth, but may still exist some "twin" planet of Earth, capable of residing. within 10 light years, a very close distance in astronomy. However, it may take hundreds of thousands of years to reach that planet with our current technology.

By studying the evolution of life on Earth, Rushby and his colleagues were also able to conjecture about life in other parts of the galaxy.

Rushby said: "We have insects 400 million years ago, dinosaurs 300 million years ago and flowering plants 130 million years ago. In terms of anatomy, modern people are present on Earth so far. "It's about 200,000 years. So, you can see it will take a very long time for life to develop intelligence."

The researcher said that the amount of time it takes to stay on a planet is important, because it tells us about the evolutionary potential of complex life, which often requires longer time for form appropriate living conditions.
