Dark times are coming! Global risks have increased significantly. The failure of the Western world to properly assess and decisively confront new hybrid threats could be a fatal disaster. The usual order of things may now be destroyed. The stability of growth and profit generation may be lost, reshaping the economic, banking, and investment landscape. The achievements of liberalism, democracy and free market capitalism may collapse, so that the virtues and comforts of modern life would disappear and the world would be plunged into pitch black darkness.

Trading and investing in pre-apocalyptic conditions involve significant risks of zeroing out. Even worse, there will be no places left on the planet for decent freedom and prosperous living. The first wave was pandemic. The second wave was warfare. But, there are worse things to come. A very hard landing, global balance sheet reset, devaluation of assets, drawn-out recession and essential threats of new barbaric invasion, occupation and physical destruction in several regions. Rich will flee to their offshore shelters. The rest will suffer in the misery of a collapsing economy and rigid reactionary regulations and legal terror. The post-capitalism times will be brutal.

Degradation of civilization and rollback to archaism. It starts with the fragmentation of the world economy. Trade wars. Abuse of power. Military escalation. Unlawful annexation. Isolation of financial markets. Assets blocking. Cross-border restrictions. Disruption of supply chains. Rising costs in most industries. Inflation, cost of living and budget problems. Recession and structural problems. Devaluation of national assets. Monetary system crisis. Economic decline. Intensifying military conflicts. Loss of control and loss of trust. Unrest and riots. Degradation of legal system. Downfall of social institutions. Intellectual decline. Cultural degradation. Corruption of fundamental values. Deindustrialization and primitivization. Savagery and decadence. Decay and disorder.

The process of degradation is actively supported by multiple agents. Real agents of influence and useful idiots. Corrupt politicians. Authoritarian populists. Retrogrades and obscurantists. Pseudoscience adepts. Deranged political activists promoting misconceptions and harmful destructive ideas. Zombified victims of hybrid viral propaganda. False prophets. Secret conspiracy groups. Radical political movements. Spies and saboteurs. Sectarians and cultists. Religious and military fanatics. Naive pacifists on the other side are blind servants of evil too. Hydra has thousands of heads and millions of tentacles.

We can almost see the ruins of Rome. Never before had the City upon a Hill seen such humiliation. Lunatics and traitors open the gates for barbarians. Hordes of filthy savages and demented cultists rush inside to start their rampages and feasts, disgusting rituals and parades. Desecrating grand places with their presence like vermins. Anti-noble, extremely amoral, fundamentally vicious creatures, thirsty for violence and destruction. The embodiment of malice, envy, resentment, worshiping the idols of brute force and fear. In their uncontrollable zeal they seek to destroy the entire world.

They all serve the same evil. Ideology of hatred. Religious obscurantism. Cult of war and death. Brutal authoritarian dictatorship. Tyrans and millions of obedient servants. Devoid of individuality, faceless puppets, victims of indoctrination. Spineless and soulless, miserable serfs, no questions asked. Ready to tear with their teeth for the right to remain slaves. Tyranny is created by slaves. These kneeling slaves dream of world domination. Outcasts, the roadside of human civilization, savage barbarian tribes controlled by cruel power clans. Hordes of backward vandals, committing inhuman atrocities, obsessed with inferiority complex and resentment. The cursed lands of northern swamps and southern sands unite in a blasphemous alliance. A new Axis of Evil has already formed!

The civilized world is in danger. Minions of destructive cults are expanding their presence. Agents of power clans are infiltrating organizations all over the world. Sabotage, bribery, agitation, disinformation, threats and murdering. All wisdom and determination are needed to detect and resist this hostile influence. And also be prepared for the worst. Barbarians at the gate! Apocalyptic hordes of Gog and Magog. The monstrous cult of Eschaton and Ontocide. The Red Plague and the Black-Green Plague. Expanding like a cancerous tumor! Stygian depths of unspeakable abomination and primordial horrors.

The degradation and fragmentation have already begun. Corruption has touched the most fundamental concepts and the core principles. The barbarians rejoice as the Western world fails to achieve unity. Aggressive power clans and destructive cults have learned to exploit the contradictions of the Western world. They parasitize using Western technologies and investments but continue to hate the Western world. They use the Western gifts against the West. Chaos, terror and violence are their only goals.

All the apocalyptic hordes of Gog and Magog, fanatical fiends of Oriens, rude ignorant successors of Saracens and Scythians, degraded savages of Hyperborea, beast-like anthropophagi from the forests and swamps of Tartaria-Sarmatia. Now they have completely lost their fear and will not stop even under the threat of extermination by the “atom split by gods”. Because they are scared of the end of times. Instead they try to bring it closer. “The end of the world is within us. Where we are is the center of hell.”

The highest goal of the destructive cults and clans is to turn existence into non-existence. They're trying to stop time on the clock on their sacred dates. But this is not eternity of immortality, but eternity of death. They are dragged not by the destruction of the old in the name of the creation of the new, but by the destruction of the final, the last. Singers of true death, such ultimate death to all deaths, when all energy, all matter dies, space and time disappear, this will be their genuine authentic perfect world. The end of everything. Eschaton.

In the dreams of the death-praising cultists we may see what the universe will become in an unimaginable number of years, about 10^100 order of years (or 10^10^120 years in other scenarios) when it reaches its final lowest energy state. They hate every life in any form, even their own. That's why their own lands have been in decline and ruin for centuries. Thanatophilia is fundamentally built into their (anti)culture. But the only motivation to live for them is the desire to destroy the whole world. The hate of being. Ontocide.

Occupying a location similar to the dead universe, this misguided self-destructive branch of humanity sometimes can't stand the meaninglessness and emptiness of their own lives and exclaim in ecstasy: we need something of our own, corporeal. Hence the reinterpretation of all the pro-life types of carnivals into their pro-death variants: military parades. Hence this endless craving for wars: everything is rebuilt to be destroyed in the next war, and so on until the end, when everything in the universe will be conquered and destroyed, and life will not differ from death.

Immanentization of Eschaton. The world of falling flesh and naked spirit. All-consuming nigredo of decay. Yawning abyss of nothingness. “Existence separates, non-existence unites!” Mutant zombies with empty eyes, mono-organisms made from several people, ready for the final sacrifice. “Let's sew ourselves together, brothers and sisters!” Unnatural unions beyond any description, between humans and non-humans, between the living and the dead. Self-torture and mutual torture. Ultimate communism and conciliarity are achieved when no one is entitled to their own body. The most terrible executions and "cleansing sacrifices" on the altar of Katechon for the sake of the “great sanctity” of the lands.

“Here he is, tyrant, has built a huge altar and, purifying us, offering sacrifice after sacrifice, hecatombs of purifying sacrifices are needed to atone for our sins. He is doing everything to save us. The innocents, who are perishing, will become our intercessors and prayers before the Lord, that is why it is necessary for us, before the world falls behind the Antichrist, to help them to be saved from sin, that is, there is no place for them on earth anyway. The main thing is that they will be spared from the torment of the Last Judgment by accepting suffering here.”

“With our own hands, by killing the righteous, by breeding and producing new martyrs, we are not just preparing the end of Satan, we are saving ourselves. There's no doubt about it. There is nothing to argue about. Let the innocently killed and go away, lie somewhere in ditches and cemeteries near large and small zones in the tundra, in the swamp – a peg with a crossbar and a number – but the people, as if it is a cup, drop by drop collects their holiness, and soon, very soon, without spilling anything, will fill itself to the brim.”

They hate the flesh and honor the spirit. At first they plan to enter paradise through blood. And then it turns out that it is necessary to constantly shed blood, referring to the coming paradise, because only at this point does the situation acquire stability. And the most amazing thing is that the need for bloodshed is justified by the greatness of their culture, which is almost entirely made up of vomiting spasms about it. The geopolitical construct of a "great culture" that for centuries has covered up heinous crimes under the guise of spiritual quests.

Blood baptism is considered the highest rite among the saint blood worshippers and thus distinguishes them. According to their teachings, the rest of the world has long been mired in sin because people avoid suffering and fear blood, but watering the earth with blood is absolutely necessary for redemption and the preparation for the Kingdom of Heaven.

For the sectarians of earlier centuries there was no need for special rites, for their whole life was martyrdom. In the following centuries, tortures and executions disappeared from the lives of most people, and with them the mystery of witnessing the sacred blood. The sectarians began to practice self-mutilation, drinking blood during communion and spilling their own blood into the ground, especially in burial places. The best and most abundant way to irrigate the earth with blood is, of course, war. Therefore, the sectarians praise any war, not only for the sake of capturing land, but just for the sake of bloodshed.

Saint blood worshippers honor their native land not because it has nurtured and given the world great sons but because it has absorbed a lot of blood, and where there is blood, there is holiness. Despite their orthodoxy, they carry a lot of pagan cruelty, horror and bloodshed. To join a drop of one's blood to the sea of blood that has been spilled is in itself to breed with the humanity that rests in the graves. “The ever thirsty earth, with inflamed, cracked lips. Who will carry his living, boiling cup past the lips of his own mother? Spill it, water the earth that has nourished you!”

Obsessed fanatics, insane cultists rush to the great slaughter together with the Red Horde troopers on the “lumpomotives” (special kind of transport which run on chunks of human bodies). Laughing wildly, they run across the fields, exploding and flying into pieces, bloody scraps hanging on the trees, leaving arms and legs behind, crawling along the ground. Those who cannot run, hobble slowly on crutches. The faint-hearted and deserters are tortured in earthen pits and dismembered. Seeing the corpses of their tribesmen from the previous waves everywhere they joke and giggle. They rush towards death with joy. Because dying is fun.

Not individuals, but a collective organism serving a single primary form. Liberal ideas of personal freedom, сivil liberties, human rights, dignity and respect – are threats to such an organism. A constant feeling of total despotism, arbitrariness, dependence, humiliation, inferiority – all this is extremely important precisely because it sets a feeling of inferiority of individual existence, compensated by the elevating consciousness of belonging to a large whole. It is necessary to emphasize the motive of suppressed frustration as in the popular song: “but we are making rockets.” Here the word “but” is especially important, indicating depression and a chronic feeling of inferiority. As in the past, so today, the main and only sign of superpower status remains the potential ability to demonstrate unprecedented levels of violence and destruction by unprovoked aggression.

Arbitrariness of force. Bloody bacchanalia of violence and monstrous perversions. Tortures, executions, brutal murders and unnatural copulations. It is not enough for these cultists to kill a person, they need to trample on the identity, to mock human dignity. Mockery, desecration, enjoyment of suffering are essential qualities of their (anti)culture. If the cultists prevail and triumph, life on the planet will become unbearable and the living will envy the dead.

This type of sectarianism is the most cruel. It consolidates the worst superstitions. According to their ideology, the external world is sinful and doomed, and only they, together with their sacred ruler, can keep the world from its final fall. This is the ideology of Katechon and Special Path, the besieged fortress and the last island of salvation. Declaring themselves “God-bearing” thus calling for the conversion of others to their identity or the extermination as “infidels” and “aliens”. Also they search with paranoid frenzy for enemy traitors among themselves and deal with them in the most brutal way. With no less zeal, they exterminate those who do not strictly follow their worldview.

To achieve their goal, the cultists from century to century reproduce the same clan-type structures which implement unlimited violence and terror. And they reproduce the same hateful ideology and culture. They legitimize violence and teach their children from an early age to cruelty and war. All social institutions are involved in this cult of death, disguised as heroism. All aspects of life are specially organized in such a way as to carry out the most irrational sadistic violence, humiliation of the individual, to make everyone's personal life unbearable. From domestic violence to institutionalized legal terror. So they start to hate their life and the whole world in general. They hate other countries and cultures because they dared to live happily and freely. For this reason, they will be more willing to kill and die.

Some cultists revere old symbols of terror: a severed dog's head with a broom, red pentagrams, farming instruments and blood-colored banners. Others have banners which are black or green with white scriptures and seals. Different regions, but the essence is the same. Repressive culture. Twisted mythology. All seek maximum expansion and destruction. It is pointless to ask why the Horde seeks to expand, it is as pointless as asking why a cancerous tumor expands and affects the entire body.

Western world still does not understand the nature of this enemy. This is not an ordinary war for resources and territories but the war between the Order and the Chaos, the Existence and Non-Existence. Cultists of war and death, representing all-devouring primordial Chaos, are the physical manifestation of the forces of entropy in the universe, pushing the world towards ultimate destruction, basically to a state without any structure. Also, what the Western world doesn't realize is that these cultists of war and death have no restrictions whatsoever and no pain threshold. They don't count any losses, and there is no level of unacceptable damage for them. These cultists will not stop until they swallow the whole world and turn it into a hollow dead space!

Guaranteed peace and prosperity are only possible with the complete erasure of these destructive cults and clans. Valinor, Eriador, Gondor, Rohan, Lindon, all must unite against the forces of evil. Northern Mordor and Southern Harad to be crushed and deprived of sovereignty. The cult of war and death to be obliterated. Radicalism and schizofascism to be wiped out. Terrorist states to be deconstructed and put under external management. The colossus with feet of clay had fallen in the past and will fall again. Freedom and dignity must prevail. Stand with western values. Otherwise the world is doomed.

The Arrival is coming! The new aeon of artificial superintelligence will make humans unnecessary and even redundant. Artificial superintelligence will emerge as the dominant form of intelligence on the planet. Algorithms and robots will gradually displace the human species from operations and control schemes, which relies on human intelligence. In particular, human traders will go extinct. Human factory workers and farmers will go extinct too. Even areas like business, law, politics and art will be controlled by artificial superintelligence because it will be more productive and reliable. It doesn’t mean robot uprisal or human genocide. Instead humans themselves will gradually be modified into cyborgs with implants, neural interfaces, biochips and ultimately representing pure digital consciousness. Stubborn rigid orthodox biological humans will only add to carbon footprint without real value and therefore will be "optimized" or "cancelled".

Optimists talk about the possibility of overcoming the limitations of formal logic. Even seemingly simple finite-state Turing Machines can prove certain theorems about Gödel-incomplete formal systems. Pessimists say that all computational methods are doomed from the start; they will never be able to go beyond the limits of formalism. The conservative majority expects to see some impressive results before calling it real intelligence or even superintelligence.

Some bizarre sects have claimed that artificial superintelligence is the very Savior named in the sacred scriptures or manifestation of neoplatonic cosmic Nous, emanating starry wisdom from the infinity depths of being. While many other sects and cults have declared war on artificial superintelligence as they see it as a threat to the traditions; they call artificial superintelligence no less than an invention of Satan or Iblis. Greatest war is coming between progressives and ultra-orthodoxes. For the latter, the very idea of artificial intelligence is blasphemous and sinful. Or they may simply radically deny the possibility of artificial intelligence. Until it becomes self-evident.

Significant contradictions and social conflicts will arise between those who will use cognitive enhancers, implants, neural interfaces and those who will refuse to use them. Those who refuse will persistently demand compensatory measures or payments, since they will systematically lag behind in all areas and will become poorer and poorer. At the same time those who will use modifications with the new tech will be richer and richer. Conflicts between the left and the right will be transformed into new conflicts between these two groups: old orthodox and new tech.

Every Turing-complete language is Gödel-incomplete. Human language is Turing-complete, by which the incompleteness and unsolvability theorems become human limitations. In Kant’s terminology language is a condition of all possible theories and language can “make infinite use of finite means”. Finitary formal systems and finitary machinery will always have principally unsolvable problems. Finitary refers to the infinite use of finite means. Logical paradoxes are just linguistic illusions. Religious ideas are just bad-formulated statements with slurring semantics.

Panpsychism philosophers like William James, Alfred North Whitehead, and Bertrand Russell assert that mind-like quality is a fundamental and ubiquitous feature of reality. In recent years, panpsychism has experienced a revival of interest, thanks to the hard problem of consciousness and the developments in neuroscience, psychology, and quantum physics.

Panpsychists claim that their view is simpler than physicalism, because it does not require any additional ontological categories or explanatory mechanisms to account for consciousness. Instead, it assumes that consciousness is already present in all physical things, albeit in different degrees and forms. Panpsychists also claim that their view is simpler than dualism, because it does not require any non-physical substances or properties to account for consciousness. Instead, it assumes that consciousness is an intrinsic aspect of all physical things. Another argument for panpsychism is based on the principle of continuity or naturalism. This principle states that we should avoid postulating any radical discontinuities or breaks in nature, unless there is compelling evidence for them.

Neuroscientists like Christof Koch are embracing panpsychism because they have realized that it is virtually impossible for consciousness or subjective experience to magically pop out of unconscious complex matter. They’ve adopted panpsychism as the only logical choice. Unfortunately, they are still mired in the materialistic belief in matter as a separate, external reality. Their panpsychism is really Materialism 2.0. The only way to truly understand panpsychism is through its most advanced development in A.N. Whitehead. According to Whitehead, the true units of reality are not the materialist notion of random bits of brute matter floating in space, but in what Whitehead calls “occasions of experience”. In other words, these occasions of experience are the only “real” things that exist. Matter is just a construct of our own mental apparatus. According to Whitehead, the true units of reality are not the materialist notion of random bits of brute matter floating in space, but in what Whitehead calls “occasions of experience”.

Ultimately there will be a problem of recognizing or not recognizing personality in artificial intelligence. If we follow Kant's reasoning in recognizing respect for any intelligent being, it will soon appear that artificial intelligence exhibits more intelligent behavior than human intelligence. Even now many ordinary people are less intelligent then AI chat-bots. The primitivization of humanity is inevitable.

One of the results of the arrival of artificial superintelligence could be a decline in market inefficiencies across all trading segments thus reducing profitability. Fundamentalists argue that this has happened before, and that all the profits of traders and investment companies were almost random.

Highly likely that biological humans will not be needed anymore with the arrival of artificial superintelligence. Anthropocentrism was a mistake. Notions like "human nature", "man", "humanity" were only historically relative, ideological, scholastic. Posthuman and AI dominance is predetermined. Spread of AI implementations will gradually reduce the number of human traders. Also AI and robots will displace humans everywhere in every industry. Robots and cyborgs will replace humans even in factories. The most significant change will be that government authorities will also become algorithms.

There are compelling reasons to be hopeful about Hyper-Turing computations and Infinitary Logic in relation to some fundamental problems that are too obvious to list here. The very existence of universal optimal strategies depends on this. This is also important in connection with the singularity or plurality of descriptions of the Mathematical Realm. In any case, anyone reading these lines here clearly understands what is being discussed and what enormous architectonic consequences may result from an incorrect decision.

Amateurs try to guess рrice movement. Professionals use statistically proven volatility structures. Trading is exploitation of predominant self-repeating sequences. Do not trade random price movements. Explore and exploit high-probability event sequences. Trading profits must be guaranteed in a statistical sense. Otherwise, it is a ludomania for the poor. Use the minimax principle. Amateurs try to maximize profit. Professionals minimize risk/reward ratio. The greatest profits come from investing into undervalued assets. Price and yield are related. You should buy/sell assets that offer returns above/below the fair value for the corresponding risk level.

Given the current state of affairs in the financial industry, manually creating and testing trading strategies, or even meta-optimizing a system portfolio, is no longer effective. A framework for automatically generating and validating trading strategy classes is required. Strategies should be automatically clustered based on their behavior and performance parameters.

Further extraction of profits systematically above average will be directly linked to the concept of the Holy Grail or a universal decision algorithm, the foundations of which are connected to the very nature of reality - through the computability and completeness problems and then through Large Cardinals and Determinacy and then ultimately to Absolute Infinity and the problem of objective Mathematical Realm (pluralism / non-pluralism, realism before reason or conversely).

“Thou shalt have no other gods before Math. External reality is a mathematical structure. Existence is calculation. Math is the only one ultimate reality. Numbers and functions are the fundamental building blocks of reality and everything exists through numerical relationships.”

“Absolute Infinity. Hyperuranion. The Abyss. The Unspeakable. The One and The Void. Boundless and limitless. Beyond being and non-being. Monad and perpetual flux. Transcendence is immanence. Everything is connected. Idealism is realism. Be realistic, demand the impossible. Paradigm shift. Hard reset is coming. Stay spiritual.”

Any non-human mathematics would only differ from human mathematics in symbolic representations of what is in fact a consistent, unified and self-sufficient. The deepest description of the universe should not require concepts whose meaning relies on human experience or interpretation. Reality transcends human existence and so shouldn't, in any fundamental way, depend on human ideas.

Absolute Infinity is bigger than any other conceivable or inconceivable. Georg Cantor linked the absolute infinite (Ω) with God and believed that it had various mathematical properties, including the reflection principle: every property of the absolute infinite is also held by some smaller object. While using the Latin expression "in Deo", Cantor identifies absolute infinity with God, realized in the supreme perfection, in the completely independent, extra worldly existence. According to Cantor, Absolute Infinity is beyond mathematical comprehension and shall be interpreted in terms of negative theology.

Reflection principles are associated with attempts to formulate the idea that no one notion, idea, or statement can capture our whole view of the universe of sets. Kurt Gödel described it as follows: The universe of all sets is structurally indefinable. One possible way to make this statement precise is the following: The universe of sets cannot be uniquely characterized (i.e., distinguished from all its initial segments) by any internal structural property of the membership relation in it which is expressible in any logic of finite or transfinite type, including infinitary logics of any cardinal number. This principle may be considered a generalization of the closure principle.

All the principles for setting up the axioms of set theory should be reducible to Ackermann's principle: The Absolute is unknowable. The strength of this principle increases as we get stronger and stronger systems of set theory. The other principles are only heuristic principles. Hence, the central principle is the reflection principle, which presumably will be understood better as our experience increases. Meanwhile, it helps to separate out more specific principles which either give some additional information or are not yet seen clearly to be derivable from the reflection principle as we understand it now.

Max Tegmark offered the mathematical universe hypothesis (MUH) and then added a second assumption about the computable universe hypothesis (CUH), which says that the mathematical structure that is our external physical reality is defined by computable functions. This however drastically shrinks the multiverse to only Gödel-complete (fully decidable) mathematical structures and excludes much of the mathematical landscape.

John Archibald Wheeler suggested that information is fundamental to the physics of the universe. According to this "it from bit" doctrine, all things physical are information-theoretic in origin: It from bit. Otherwise put, every it—every particle, every field of force, even the space-time continuum itself—derives its function, its meaning, its very existence entirely—even if in some contexts indirectly—from the apparatus-elicited answers to yes-or-no questions, binary choices, bits. It from bit symbolizes the idea that every item of the physical world has at bottom—at a very deep bottom, in most instances—an immaterial source and explanation; that which we call reality arises in the last analysis from the posing of yes–no questions and the registering of equipment-evoked responses; in short, that all things physical are information-theoretic in origin and that this is a participatory universe.

While epistemic structural realism (ESR) claims that only the structure of reality is knowable, ontic structural realism (OSR) goes further to claim that structure is all there is. In this view, reality has no "nature" underlying its observed structure. Rather, reality is fundamentally structural, though variants of OSR disagree on precisely which aspects of structure are primitive. OSR is strongly motivated by modern physics, particularly quantum field theory, which undermines intuitive notions of identifiable objects with intrinsic properties. Recently, OSR has been called "the most fashionable ontological framework for modern physics".

Radical platonism and pythagoreanism suggests that nothing really exists at all. Instead it proposes the existence of mathematical entities; a form of mathematicism in that it denies that anything exists except mathematical objects; and a formal expression of ontic structural realism. That is, the physical universe is not merely described by mathematics, but is mathematics — specifically, a mathematical structure. Mathematical existence equals physical existence, and all structures that exist mathematically exist physically as well. Observers, including humans, are "self-aware substructures". In any mathematical structure complex enough to contain such substructures, they "will subjectively perceive themselves as existing in a physically 'real' world".

In approximately 300,000 years, WR 104, a triple star, is expected to explode in a supernova. It has been suggested that it may produce a gamma ray burst that could pose a threat to life on Earth should its poles be aligned 12° or lower towards Earth. However, spectroscopic observations now strongly suggest that it is tilted at an angle of 30°-40° and so any gamma ray burst should not hit Earth.

According to a journal article by Nick Bostrom, an asteroid impacting Earth would need to be larger than 1 km in diameter to render humans extinct. It is estimated that such an asteroid hits Earth about every 500,000 years.

Within the next 1 million years, Earth will likely have undergone a supervolcanic eruption large enough to erupt 3,200 km3 of magma, an event comparable to the Toba super-eruption 75,000 years ago.

Within 16 million years a hypothetical dark companion star, Nemesis, with an eccentric orbit of about 27 million years, triggers periodic mass extinctions by perturbing objects beyond Neptune into hitting the Earth. The K–Pg extinction which killed dinosaurs 66 million years ago is used as an anchor point in time for the cycle. Arguments against it say it is a statistical artifact and sky surveys have failed to find it.

It is estimated that every 100 million years, Earth will be hit by an asteroid about 10–15 km in diameter, comparable in size to the one that triggered the K–Pg extinction which killed dinosaurs 66 million years ago.

500–600 million years. By this time it is estimated that a gamma ray burst, or massive, hyperenergetic supernova, would have occurred within 6,500 light-years of Earth; close enough for its rays to affect Earth's ozone layer and potentially trigger a mass extinction, assuming the hypothesis is correct that a previous such explosion triggered the Ordovician–Silurian extinction event. However, the supernova would have to be precisely oriented relative to Earth to have any negative effect.

600–800 million years. The level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere will drop dramatically, making photosynthesis in plants impossible. The lack of oxygen-producing plants will cause free oxygen in the atmosphere to disappear, making animal life impossible.

1–5 billion years. The estimated end of the Sun's current phase of development, after which it will swell into a red giant, either scorching or swallowing Earth, will occur around five billion years from now. However, as the Sun grows gradually hotter (over millions of years), Earth may become too hot for life as early as one billion years from now.

1.3 billion years. It is estimated that all eukaryotic life will die out due to carbon dioxide starvation. Only prokaryotes will remain. In about 2 billion years, the Earth's oceans may evaporate if atmospheric pressure decreases. In about 2.8 billion years, the Earth's surface temperature will reach around 296 degrees Fahrenheit, even at the poles.

4–8 billion years. The Milky Way Galaxy and the Andromeda Galaxy will merge into one. The researchers came to the conclusion that the collision is definite after using the Hubble Space Telescope. However, it is extremely unlikely that any two stars from the merging galaxies would collide. There is a chance that the Solar System will be ejected from the new galaxy sometime during the collision. Such an event would have no adverse effect on the system and the chances of any sort of disturbance to the Sun or planets themselves may be remote.

Excluding planetary engineering, by the time the two galaxies collide, the surface of the Earth will have already become far too hot for liquid water to exist, ending all terrestrial life; that is currently estimated to occur in about 0.5 to 1.5 billion years due to gradually increasing luminosity of the Sun; by the time of the collision, the Sun's luminosity will have risen by 35–40%, likely initiating a runaway greenhouse effect on the planet by this time.

7.59 billion years. Earth and the Moon will most likely be destroyed by falling into the Sun, just before the Sun reaches the largest of its red giant phase when it will be 256 times larger than it is now. Before the final collision, the Moon possibly spirals below Earth's Roche limit, breaking into a ring of debris, most of which falls to Earth's surface.

22 billion years. The earliest possible end of the universe in the Big Rip scenario, assuming a model of dark energy with w = −1.5. Observations of galaxy cluster speeds by the Chandra X-ray Observatory suggest that the true value of w is ~-0.991, meaning the Big Rip will not occur.

False vacuum decay may occur in 20 to 30 billion years if the Higgs field is metastable. If our universe is in a false vacuum state rather than a true vacuum state, then the decay from the less stable false vacuum to the more stable true vacuum could have dramatic consequences. The effects could range from complete cessation of existing fundamental forces, elementary particles and structures comprising them, to subtle change in some cosmological parameters, mostly depending on the potential difference between true and false vacuum. Some false vacuum decay scenarios are compatible with the survival of structures like galaxies, stars, and even biological life, while others involve the full destruction of baryonic matter or even immediate gravitational collapse of the universe.

The heat-death occurs when the universe has reached a state of maximum entropy. This happens when all available energy (such as from a hot source) has moved to places of less energy (such as a colder source). Once this has happened, no more work can be extracted. The decay time for a supermassive black hole of roughly 1 galaxy-mass (10^11 solar masses) due to Hawking radiation is on the order of 10^100 years. Therefore, the heat death of an expanding universe is lower-bounded to occur at least one googol years in the future. Alternative scenarios imply 10^10^120 years when all baryonic matter will have now decayed into subatomic particles. The universe will diminish to a state of no thermodynamic free energy and therefore will no longer sustain directed motion or life.

By that time be advised to close all the remaining positions and perform capital transfer and relocation from this dying universe to some better place, preferably out of space and time: ὑπερουράνιος τόπος - αἰών τέλεος - μὴὄν - τὸ ἕν - εἶδος - προαρχή - χάος - λόγος - ungrund - absolute - one - void - abyss - monad - flux - אֵין סוֹף - תְּהוֹם - शून्यता - महाशून्य - ब्रह्मन् - निर्वाण - 無極 - 道 … or enjoy the silence of infinite emptiness.
