Many things will happen in the universe between 1 and 5 billion years from now. To name a few:
The Milky Way (our galaxy) is on a collision course with the Andromeda Galaxy. The two spiral galaxies are said to collide in 3 billion years.
In about 4 or 5 billion years, the Sun will begin to run out of it's Hydrogen fuel, which it converts to Helium in a process called Nuclear Fusion. The Sun, it's hydrogen fuel exhausted, will begin burning it's Helium. As it does so, it will cool and swell, becoming a red giant. When the Sun enters its Red Giant stage, it will expand and engulf the orbits of Mercury, Venus, and possibly Earth and Mars.
Eventually, it will run out of Helium fuel to burn, and will 'die'. Its layers will be released in a 'sigh', and all that will remain of our Sun would be a white dwarf, and a possible nebula, or cloud of dust and gas that is the remnant of our former star. Perhaps even the ghosts of its former planets will orbit around it. After a few trillion years, the White Dwarf that would be left over would cool down, becoming a cold, dead "Black Dwarf" approximately the size of our Earth. Because the universe is estimated to be between 15-20 billion years old, there are no Black Dwarves at this time. There likely won't be any within our lifetimes, either.
There are too many variables to process (at least by any methods we possess at our current stage of evolution as a species) in order to have any idea as to what will happen in exactly four billion years.
There are some estimates, however. In four billion years, our sun will be about two to three billion years from dying out. The universe is expected to keep on expanding. And other forecasts have been made, as well.

How much longer will earth have water?
That's almost impossible to precisely tell, virtually anything could happen! For the human race to consume all of the water on the Earth would take a long long long time! The sun would probably consume the Earth by then which is estimated to happen in six billion years.
How many genetic possibilities are there?
There are only 10 billion possibilities so therefore after the world hits 10 billion people there will be duplications of the human race.
When will earth have no life?
Eventually the sun will swallow the earth. Not in your lifetime, at least.It is not quite clear whether the sun will eventually swallow the earth; it will most probably expand to the point where it almost swallows it. Anyway, long before it gets to the point of swallowing or not, the earth will be molten which sounds pretty uninhabitable.This will happen 4 - 6 billion years from now.--------i've read 3 billion, but what are a few billion years between friends?
What is the human Race O?
human race o???????????? i thought it us only human race????
What will happen when our sun turns in to a red giant?
It is expected that the sun will turn into a red giant about three billion years from now, so any problems which may be caused by this are too far in the future for us to worry about. However, the expanding sun will reach and engulf the planet Earth, which will be heated well beyond the point of becoming uninhabitable. So if there are still any people or other intelligent beings living on Earth three billion years from now, they are going to have to move somewhere else. In the event that the human race lasts for another three billion years (and the bookies go not give good odds on this) there would seem to be no problem in developing a very successful space travel technology, given that amount of time for research and development. But who knows, maybe we will put it off until the last minute...
What day will happend the end of the world?
The end of the world will happen 5 billion years into the future. The sun will expand but the human race will be spread out across the galaxy. There will be no one on Earth and there will be people watching it's final moments.
How long has the sun been shining?
The Sun is currently in the middle of its life, and has been approximately shining for 5 billion years. It will die out in 5 billion years also, but the human race will be long gone before that happens. The sun has been shining for about 4.6 billion years and it will continue to shine for about 5 billion more years

Would the World actually ever end?
yes... the sun will blow up in about a billion years, but that will be long after the human race dies off
Why do you all have to die?
We are just a mere stage in evolution, after the human race there will be newer, smarter races. It's just that our turn is now not in a billion years.

What is the truth about when the earth will end and can you stop it?
AnswerFirst of all, the truth about when the world will end. Scientists expect this to happen in several billion years' time, when the sun finally cools, leaving the earth as a cold and lifeless rock circling the sun.We will not be able to stop this happening. In fact, there are unlikely to be any humans som many billions of years into the future, anyway. So why worry about what will not happen during the life of the human race?
What will become of the human race in a million years?
Nobody knows. :-/
What would happen if you were the only person on earth?
The human race would not be far from extinction.
What rhymes with What will happen to the human race?
'Well, based upon the data that we've had to face..'
What happens when a black hole comes to earth?
If a black hole ever comes to earth it will mean complete annihilation of it and all the surrounding planets in the solar system. The closest time period in which this will happen is around 1 billion-2 billion years, when we have completed space travel and are probably living on a different planet, having depleted earth's natural resources. So it probably wouldn't have destroyed the human race. However if it does come within a lifetime, the human species will be wiped out.
