💥😱 “The End Is Near? Neil deGrasse Tyson Warns Humanity Might Be DOOMED in Just 100 Years — Here’s What He Knows That We Don’t”

Neil deGrasse Tyson has never been one to sugarcoat the truth, and in a recent interview, he delivered one of his most ominous predictions yet: humanity could be staring down its own extinction in just a century.

But don’t expect a doomsday meteor or alien invasion—Tyson points to something much more insidious: ourselves.

“We might have 100 years on Earth at the rate we’re going,” he warned, explaining that the gravest threats facing civilization are self-inflicted.

These “Earth issues” require immediate, large-scale geopolitical cooperation—something humanity has historically failed to achieve.

Climate change, environmental collapse, and our inability to manage global systems could push us to the brink far sooner than we imagine.

Yet that’s only one layer of Tyson’s chilling analysis.

Beyond human-made catastrophe lies an even broader spectrum of cosmic threats.

First, there’s the death of the Sun—a stellar certainty, though not immediate.

Tyson describes in vivid detail how our sun will one day run out of fuel, expand massively, and potentially engulf Earth in fire.

“Imagine looking on the horizon, and sunrise is half the sky,” he said.

Although billions of years away, Tyson makes it clear: the clock is ticking on the solar system’s current arrangement.

But far more urgent than the dying Sun is a theoretical apocalypse known as the Big Rip.

If the expansion of the universe continues accelerating, Tyson explains, there will come a time—22 billion years from now—when the very fabric of space and time will rip apart.

Galaxies will separate, atoms will unravel, and the universe as we know it will cease to exist.

“It’ll be expanding faster than the fabric of space-time can keep up with it,” Tyson explained, with unsettling calmness.

Terrifying? Yes.

But as Tyson noted, it’s so far in the future that humans are unlikely to witness it—assuming we even make it that far.

Still, Tyson doesn’t stop with celestial threats.

The real eye-opener came when the topic turned to Artificial Intelligence.

Channeling the late Stephen Hawking’s warnings, Tyson echoed the fear that AI could one day become “self-designing”—a point at which machines begin to improve themselves without human intervention.

This could trigger an exponential intelligence explosion, making it impossible for humans to keep up or maintain control.

“There’s no reason to think that that won’t happen,” Tyson said bluntly.

And once it begins? The AI could outlearn the entire human race in mere minutes.

So, should we be panicking? Tyson doesn’t think so—not yet.

He believes the key lies in how we integrate AI into society.

Rather than creating a centralized supermachine, we’ve already started embedding AI in everyday tools: GPS systems, self-driving cars, coffee makers.

In Tyson’s view, it’s not the humanoid robot of dystopian lore we should fear, but the unregulated expansion of algorithmic intelligence in critical systems.

It’s already happening, he warns—and most people don’t even realize it.

Adding another layer to the chaos, Tyson turned his gaze skyward—literally.

Outer space, once a pristine and untouched frontier, is now becoming cluttered with satellites, space debris, and weaponized tech.

He voiced strong frustration about modern satellite “constellations,” especially those by billionaires like Elon Musk, turning the sky into a digital traffic jam.

“It’s ugly,” he said.

“To those who want to bask in the majesty of the night sky, it’s hideous.

” Even more dangerous, space is rapidly becoming militarized, with countries like China, Russia, and the U.S.

already demonstrating satellite-destroying capabilities.

“They’re not just watching,” he warned.

“They’re flexing.”

And then came the bombshell about black holes.

Tyson’s eyes lit up as he described his lifelong obsession with these cosmic monsters—not just for their destructive potential, but for the strange possibility that they may serve as gateways to entirely new

universes.

According to theoretical physics, entering a black hole could cause time to slow infinitely while a new space-time opens up ahead of you.

“I want a mapping of all the new space-times that black holes are providing,” Tyson said, hinting at a concept more mind-bending than any sci-fi film.

It all culminated in one final, haunting question: what would Tyson do if the world were ending in six hours? Most people might say “spend time with family,” but not him.

“I would ask: what can I do with my intellect and others to prevent the world from ending?” His refusal to give up—even at the last minute—underscored what makes him such a singular voice in the scientific

world.

Where most see doom, Tyson sees a problem to be solved.

A storm to be studied.

A hurricane to be harnessed for power.

As the interview wrapped, Tyson made it clear that while the threats are real, surrender is not an option.

Whether it’s managing climate change, reigning in runaway AI, or preserving the night sky from commercial pollution, the future depends entirely on our willingness to act.

“STEM professionals—science, technology, engineering, and math—these are the minds that change the outcome,” he said.

Still, the reality remains: our time on Earth may be shorter than we think.

Whether it’s human error, artificial intelligence, or a cosmic reckoning, the countdown may have already begun.

And if we’ve only got 100 years left, as Tyson warned, the question is no longer if the end is coming—but what we’ll do before it arrives.
