Ah, the end of the world. What a refreshingly new topic to discuss...NOT. I think that for as long as people have been able to grasp the concept of death, there has been speculation as to just how the world as we know it will come to an end. Meteorites are somewhat plausible, especially considering that it is almost impossible for us to predict the behavior of these things in space. There was a meteor several years back that almost struck Earth, and it was certainly large enough to cause wide-spread damage if it had, that we did not even detect until it had missed us. An unpredictable threat such as this is highly likely to be "the end of it all" as we wouldn't even know what was going on until it was too late.
( More behind cut because I wrote an essay. )
