If it does destroy the earth...or the universe...we're not going to know about it.
Maybe it's already happened and what we see as reality is merely our living in a continuous loop of human history trapped within our disembodied minds a la Matrix.
Maybe it happened 10,000 years ago—that is, years as previously measured by the Earth's former orbital cycles.
