Honestly no one knows if something will or won't happen. Heck, it could happen tomorrow.

This is an often repeated statement that simply is not true. There are many things we can predict with great certainty. Things that can be shown to not be possible:
1. a new planet in our solar system that enters the orbits of the known planets.
2. the sun using up its hydrogen fuel in the next billion years
3. rapid pole shifts

The unknowns are things like acts of terrorism, human started wars, a small object striking the Earth, or a massive solar flare. But other things can be shown to be impossible.

A very measured response there

Two thumbs up and 1 star

Nothing will happen its always been a myth. How could some ancient civilization know anything about the future. If they were so advanced why is there still oil underground? You need to go through industrialized age to become high tech...
