Supercomputer predicts the exact date when life on Earth will end

One day, life on Earth will die and with it, humanity. But when and how will this happen? A team of experts seeks to answer this question with the help of a supercomputer by developing the future of our planet 400,000 times, writes Metro .
Scientists at Toho University used NASA planetary models to create simulations that show how our planet's atmosphere could change. According to them, in the distant future, Earth will run out of oxygen.
Simulations predict that in 1 billion years (to be exact, in the year 1,000,002,021), the air we breathe will disappear and survival will be impossible. The Sun will age, becoming hotter and brighter, affecting Earth's delicate climate.
Water will begin to evaporate, cloud cover will shift, and surface temperatures will rise. The increased heat will weaken the carbon cycle and kill plants that cannot carry out the process of photosynthesis. Without plants, there will be no oxygen produced.
The drop in oxygen levels would return the atmosphere to what it was like before human life. That means a high percentage of methane that, while theoretically possible for life, would be different from what we know. So the researchers ran a computer simulation over 400,000 times, changing different aspects of the model each time.
So what will happen in 1 billion years? Researchers say that “rapid deoxygenation” will occur and the Earth will be like it was 2.5 billion years ago, when the Great Oxidation Event occurred. It is not known what caused this event, but it is thought that single-celled organisms are responsible.
