      It won’t blow up on its own – the earth is actually fairly stable! An asteroid may smash into it though, but again, the sphere that is our planet will be shaken, but it will still exist. Our world as we know it though would end in a firestorm if that happened though – even though the planet will remain.

      No, I don’t think it will blow up! Nor do I hope it will!

      Well, humans would have destroyed themselves much before any possibility of the world blowing up; either due to a massive meteorite hitting or when the sun runs out of power.

      I sure hope not! As Andrew said, it’s pretty stable. We will all be wiped out somehow but I can’t see it being because of an exploding Earth.
