When the date rolls around I will get up, I will take a piss, I will turn on the TV, and I will go back to bed and not be dead.

I remember when the doomsday date was the year 2000, for same people... Now it's 2012. My question is, when 2021 arrives, and the world do not end, what will be the next date?:p

2111, 2112, 2121 or 2122. Definitely 2222.

The fact is the world IS going to end some day... probably not in our lifetime, but it is going to end. This is the way the universe works, and these people are going to continue to keep guessing until the world DOES end... then they'll say, "See!! We KNEW!!" when in fact it was inevitable to begin with.

Everything dies... but that's not the end of the story...

What if humans are so advanced by that time that we have built new sun to replace the real one when it shuts down?

Indeed... and even then, who knows what Mother Nature will throw at us? Hell, the universe is a shooting gallery, not a peaceful meadow with lovely trees beside a cool, clear stream in the mountains. Asteroids fly all over the place, and it's a fact that one WILL hit us some day (just look at the moon; it has taken FEWER asteroid hits than Earth has since the dawn of our solar system). Not only do we have asteroids to fear, but also cosmic radiation waves and black holes (and black holes are a bigger threat to us than most people consider them to be; we're more likely to be destroyed by a black hole than we are to die from the sun dying out!).

The fact still remains we are going to die eventually. It's not a bad thing, either. Death is a natural part of life: a beginning and an end, as it is with all things. Eventually, everything that we know of at this point (galaxies, suns, planets, stars, etc.) will be destroyed... but they're made up of energy (as are humans), and as we all know from Elementary School, energy cannot be created or destroyed...
