This Could Wipe Out Life On Earth And Transform Earth To A Mars-Like Planet. by Explorers(m): 10:03am On Dec 22, 2016
Atmospheric escape is the process by which gases leave a planet's atmosphere.


Every minute, 400 pounds (181kg) of hydrogen and almost 7 pounds (3kg) of helium escapes from Earth's atmosphere into outer space.

It is this process, known as atmospheric escape, that could one day lead to the death of life on our planet, according to one expert.

An astrophysicist has said the escaping gases could, turn our planet into a dry, desolate world like Mars.

About a billion years.

Sir, by that time shouldn't there be a defense mechanism for this?

Thats why i love watching futuristic movies. Movies like the 100. Although the authority are always against such movies, but i believe some of their predictions about earth are actually correct.

What about magnetic decay. The earth magnetic field is the reason why you and I are alive today.

solar winds is a streams of electrically charged particles that flow from the sun

This magnetic field Shields us from this deadly solar wind .Now the problem is, this magnetic field is decaying and it will reach a certain stage where it will no longer be able to shield the planet from the deadly radiation from the sun. When this happens the atmosphere and the ocean and life boils away making earth a dry rocky planet just like planet Mars.

I don't think atmospheric escape is any threat to earth's immediate future since the the some total of the earth atmospheric gasses are not constant and replace from other process

Earth magnetism is still healthy only what we might experience anytime soon is pole reversal

All this science people just be saying things that I'm not understanding. Whether it be or not, nothing will happen to earth till the messiah comes. Be it the WWIII or anything. grin

That pole reversal scares me a lot ,scientist said it happens 780, 000 years ago. I still need to read about it. What I understand is that rotation of the core of the Earth is what brings about Earth's magnetic poles.So after thousands of years the rotation of the core of the earth slows down before it picks up again.At that time the earth magnetism is lost. So we will be exposed to the solar storm/rays for about 200yrs.They said the Earth magnetic field is already weakening.

It is not going to shutdown entirely but it will be at it minimum in some places it will be just pockets of magnetic Flux. But to me every time earth goes through a dangerous stage, I think nature is just trying to upgrade

Nature has this great self sustaining system. Imagine how powerful the solar wind is, and nature creating magnetic field shield! Darwinism is just little of what we can know about the creation yet.
I just still hold that a Supreme nature just allow this in it self.
