The blue planet is not the only place in the universe that harbors life and is also governed by the law of “birth, aging, illness, and death.” Currently, our Earth is beginning to enter a stage of illness, and that illness is “obesity.”

The increase in size and mass of the Earth is partly due to internal movements occurring beneath the crust and within the Earth’s core, alongside other cosmic factors. Every year, hundreds of meteors enter the atmosphere and are mercilessly destroyed before they have the chance to safely land. Each particle of dust from these meteors falls onto the surface of the Earth, causing the “skin” of the blue planet to thicken at a weight gain rate of about 1 billion tons per year. Just like humans, the Earth’s “obesity” is causing it to face accompanying side effects. The most noticeable change is the alteration in its movement around itself and the Sun over the years. Three billion years ago, a day on Earth lasted only 19 hours. After one billion years, days and nights extended to 25 hours. Therefore, in a few billion years, if the human biological clock does not change, we will certainly have to learn to sleep during the day, as the Earth continues to become “fatter” and moves more sluggishly.
Due to the increase in weight, the Earth’s rotation around itself has slowed, and its orbit around the Sun has slowed even further. This weakening of gravitational pull between our planet and the Sun results in the Earth gradually drifting farther away from the solar system’s center. Current calculations indicate that each year, the Earth moves approximately 22 meters further from the Sun. This will continue with uncertain acceleration, leading to a day when our planet will no longer receive sunlight.
However, this is not the final disaster. As the Earth’s mass continues to increase over the years, at a certain point, the weight will exceed the threshold mass, creating a tremendous pressure on the Earth’s core, causing nuclear reactions to suddenly erupt. As a result, the Earth will self-ignite, transforming into a source of energy radiating into the universe, much like the Sun today. By this stage, the Earth will have effectively declared its own death and transitioned into another “life” – becoming a fiery globe in the universe with surface temperatures exceeding 1,000 degrees Celsius.
