Who will rule the Earth in the future?

The last life on Earth will be extinguished in 2.8 billion years, when the Sun shuts down and swells up into a giant red glowing sphere.

Bacteria dominate the Earth - will this be how the Earth ends?

About a billion years ago, the only surviving sign was single-celled organisms floating in hot, salty and isolated puddles, British scientists speculate.

Certainly it is a very bleak prospect but at the same time it helps the 'hunters' of alien creatures today. This future earth forecasting model suggests that the conditions for developing life in the planet around other stars are much more diverse than previously thought, providing new hope for finding places. humans can land in the universe.

Applying knowledge of the Earth and the sun, Jack O'Malley-James and his colleagues from the University of St Andrews (UK) have calculated the stages of our planet's development and want to consider the possibility of Living can exist in a harsh environment.

The research team began with a model of increasing the temperature on the earth's surface at various latitudes, along with long-term changes in planetary trajectories. Their model shows that as the sun ages, it will spread enormous heat to warm the earth, plants, mammals, fish and invertebrates will in turn disappear. The ocean evaporates, the tectonic process will stop because there is no water which acts as a lubricant. Finally, just like the hot and salty lake system will be all that exists and the microbes that live in it will dominate the Earth within a billion years ago.

Applying this model to other stars, the team found that life on any Earth-like planet would be a single-celled organism for the first 3 billion years. Complex life will exist for a relatively short time before that star begins to die. Professor Euan Monaghan (Open University in Milton Keynes, England) also agrees with the notion that life on any planet will grow from simple to complex and eventually return to the single. simple.
