A NASA supercomputer has produced a deeply concerning forecast for the future of our planet. While the prediction does not concern the immediate future, it raises profound questions about humanity’s long-term survival.
The simulation, run in collaboration with Japan’s Toho University, modeled the combined effects of Earth’s atmosphere, oxygen levels, and solar radiation. The result concludes that Earth’s “habitable period” will end within approximately one billion years.
The model projects that a gradual increase in the sun’s brightness will dangerously heat the Earth’s surface. This, combined with a severe decrease in atmospheric oxygen and a thinning atmosphere, will eventually make life impossible. The report warns that conditions for human life may become unsustainable long before that final date.
Scientists have cautioned that this is “just one model” based on current factors. They acknowledge that in reality, technology, human intervention, and other variables could significantly alter this distant outcome.
