If you are passionate about spending your life developing a site about this topic then this name makes sense. However, as a stand alone name it is worth close to zero. Sure, some conspiracy theorist or doomsdayer who is looking to start a site wouldn't mind having it, but the name isn't the type of name that anyone is going to pay you a lot of money for, and you still have to find the buyer.
It is serviceable for a passion project but you would get close to zero if you put it up for sale here, and that means it is worth zero. It is kind of like a stamp. Say you have a stamp. It is good for mailing a letter, but the moment you spend a few minutes thinking about the stamp is the moment you lose, as time is money. If you put the stamp up for sale in a thread you could say that with this stamp you can send a letter to anyone in the United States. That would be true. The problem is that there are other stamps that people can buy for the same price, so even if you argue that the stamp is worth 46 cents (or whatever it is), it really isn't even worth that the moment you put an ounce of brainpower or effort into trying to sell it. And for the person buying a single stamp, they are losers, too, since that transaction takes time and effort on their end.
Some things just aren't worth anything. People here have started to figure that out after I told them for years that they were going bankrupt (or worse). They could only scam people for so long, then the party had to end. And it did.

thanks for the advice! , I am not looking to sell this name, I know its value is in development,
im looking for someone who can help build the site though since I only know very little about website development

WhoDatDog was being a bit harsh, plus the TS says he plans to develop, not sell (and I don't agree w/Varlin this time 
..... smart tho - DOD Develop or Drop.... lmao)
I wish TEXX had been domaining before the turn of the century, that name probably could've made him a lot of $ in 1997-99 (Y2K thing), and too bad I wasn't either or I might have even paid a lot for it myself lol. EndoftheWorld.com or WhenWilltheWorldEnd.com would probably be better choices but yours works for a website or project, it's intriguing as a theory and with dire news or predictions being made every now and then, many of the 7+ billion inhabitants on Earth would care enough to be reading about this
Rememeber 2012 ? That some Mayan calendar had predicted the world would end December 21, 2012 ? For a couple of years prior to that one would've been more optimistic about selling these types of names, or creating a site. And how about those meteorites and asteroids often missing Earth by just a hair (by astronomy/astrophysics standards), and those can't be predicted long before or with so much accuracy, so as a website it has a future (as to developing the site that's not my turf so someone else might weigh in on that)
