Anyone else feel like the human race is doomed, /sci/?

Pfft, maybe you will. Not me though
>>7943483
How is this a science/math thread OP?
>>7943483
don't worry anon. trump will build a wall between the sun and the earth that will shield us from oblivion.

No one is truly immortal.
>>7943499
Sure, some of it reeks of /r9k/ but I brought up legitimate concerns about the future of the human race that science has yet to answer.

500 years ago we didn't even know about any of the shit you just listed. Imagine another 500, much less the millions and billions of years you're talking about.

But...but...

Maybe we'll've found a way as to form our own black holes by then; transferring stars through spacetime-wormholes, with telescopes knowing exactly how to reach them. I mean maybe, OP. There's still a few billion years.

>>mfw all this constant fighting, warring, and bickering
Compared to what?
You see what you want to see, Anon.
At present, the common man is far more insulated from war than we've been throughout history.
>>7943483
>>mfw no significant advances in space exploration
Again: compared to what?
We're doing a LOT better than the dolphins.
>>7943483
>probably nuked each other or destroyed each other with some other type of super weapon
Unlikely.
>before we even manage to discover FTL travel
Also very unlikely. There probably IS no FTL.
...I can't be bothered to read the rest of your defeatist nonsense.
I will say this tho: I gotta assume you're a man.
Because: ultimately only women (or lack thereof) can drive someone to such extreme despair.
Have you considered going full gay?

Expecting a serious discussion on a Tahitian basket-weaving forum.
Fuck this, I'm out.
>>7943483
I have a solution for you froganon. Just get a decent jaaab, numb yourself with love, booze and entertainment the remainder of the day and you will not have to think about these painful things.
>>7944524
is that the scientist way?
>>7944701
It's very scientific, being proven to work by repeated experiments.

>>Serious threats to the future of the human race is defeatist nonsense
Nothing lasts forever anon,and yet nothing you listed is a "serious threat" to the human race compared to the inevitability of change itself.
We aren't the same species we were a million years ago, and we can't be the same species a million years from now.
And most of your threats are a billions (or far more) years away,
Sure, the sun will be so hot there won't be liquid water on the Earth's surface in a billion years, but even if our descendants are still around, they won't be homo sapiens sapiens any more.
And FYI: the collision with Andromeda won't be any more disastrous than the 2-3 collisions we're currently in the middle of.
the universe is doomed
and so?

>discover FTL travel
Not much point reading the rest.

>mfw this has been going on for all of human history and we've actually become increasingly more peaceful over time
>mfw space exploration is a gradual process
>mfw you can't "discover FTL travel" because sci-fi isn't reality. The nuke part is pretty valid
>mfw a random mass extinction event is incredibly unlikely to happen before we either colonize space or destroy ourselves/the planet
>mfw it's incredibly unlikely the Solar System will be disturbed by the collision, and Earth will be uninhabitable by then anyway
>mfw you're concerned about what's going to happen in a billion years as if humans/Earth will be around
>mfw literally none of these will have an effect on what happens to the human race except for the possibility of nuking ourselves to death
>mfw you failed to mention climate change, overpopulation, limited resources, and a multitude of other things that can easily end us in the next few decades, while dwelling on future situations where there's no more star formation

Yes, the species had a chance before white people were bred out, but it will be back to stone age tier in a few centuries at the current unsustainable breeding rates.
