I mean, "scientists" have been warning that we're ten years away from doomsday for the last fifty years, so I'll believe it when I see it.

Not doomsday. Humanity going extinct. It'll take about 20 to 40 years at current pace and doesn't require any nukes, climate, or asteroids. Just simple birth rates and violence.
Mmmh. Yeah, how about we do the math on that?

There are 8.3 billion humans alive right now.

If people just stopped breeding altogether, and the birth rate dropped to zero, and then one person died every second, it would still take 263 years for every human to die.

8.3 billion divided by 60 equals 138,333,333.3333333 minutes.
Divided by 60 again is 2,305,555.555555556 hours.
Divided by 24 is 96,064.81481481481 days.
Divided by 365.24 is 263.7331909809604 years.


So... no.

The problem here is your assumptions. "one person died every second" is unrealistic; current estimates are around two deaths per second. It's also not like there's a queue, or some cap on how many can die at once.

Also you should be able to do a quick sanity check here and realize that if it takes 263 years, and no humans are born in that time, that implies the last one to die was alive that whole time. Humans don't live 263 years.

Wow, you don't say?

It's almost like the thought experiment was completely ridiculous to begin with.
