**Supercomputer Predicts Human Extinction Timeline**
A supercomputer study funded by the University of Bristol has predicted a bleak future for humanity—but not for another 250 million years. Using vast geological and atmospheric data, researchers simulated Earth’s long-term fate driven by tectonic plate movement.
The study forecasts the formation of a future supercontinent called **Pangea Ultima**. As plates merge, the planet will face a “*triple whammy,*” according to Dr. Alexander Farnsworth: *“the continentality effect, hotter sun and more CO₂ in the atmosphere.”
This new landmass will trigger extreme heat, often reaching 40–50°C, paired with intense humidity. These conditions could *“greatly reduce how much heat our body will be able to release into the air,”* making survival difficult for mammals.
Only 12–13% of Pangea Ultima is expected to be habitable, but even those areas will be dangerous due to volcanic activity from tectonic shifts. Despite the grim outlook, scientists emphasize the event is **millions of years away**, giving humanity time to adapt or innovate. As the study shows, while Earth’s future may seem hostile, it is far enough away to offer a chance for hope and preparation.
