      I don’t think anyone of them is accurate but if I have to choose then I would say Armageddon. Because there is real chance that if do not have enough technology to help ourselves by 2880 then a meteor (big enough to wipe all human life on earth) may crash in to the Earth. Having said that I think if we have achieved so much through science in the past 200 years then the next 800 years are going to produce a lot of technologies. One of them might be to counter this meteor!

      There’s a really haunting cartoon called ‘When the Wind Blows’ about an old couple who survive a nuclear attack on England. I think that’s pretty accurate. They’ve been given government information about how to survive the attack, and they follow it closely and try to keep positive, but over the course of the film you watch them slowly dying. They live in the countryside so you don’t ever see anyone else, but I think you’re supposed to assume everyone else is dead.

      I think it’s pretty possible that the human race could wipe itself out using nuclear warfare.

      Thanks for the question, cheery subject!
