Re: The End of The World

Anyone who listens to the "Mayans" are pretty much insane, why should i listen to their predictions for something so far off, when they couldn't predict the conquistadors? Seems kinda... well ill-rational.

Either way, we are ALWAYS a hair away from civilization ending disaster, Gamma, Neutrino Events, Tectonic Events, the core cooling, climate change, fossil fuel aftermaths, asteroids, comets, War, Famine, Pestilence, Oil spills, Catastrophic chemical/viral outbreaks, the list goes on... so why worry about 2012? It will happen when it happens.

Re: The End of The World

out of all the things that can happen to us( with chances ranging from very small to moderately big)

we're picking the legend based of off a fact that an ancient religion din't print their new calenders.

not once is it written that the mayan calendar declares the end of the world. it's just their calendar that stop. why did it stop? no idea, perhaps because they didn't feel like making it any further. or they needed a new system after that to continue their calendar. I doubt that's when the world ends is more then their religious superstition.

the world can end on so many different things.

star goes supernova( doesn't have to be our sun.),
comet hits us,
deadly radiation from planet x, star y reaches u
dutch student recently discovered a "drifting" black hole.
we got the drifting planet
the fact that russia wanted to shoot a nuke at that comet/rock headed our way even though there is little to no knowledge of how radiation behaves in space.
etc
etc
etc.

so yeah the mere idea of fearing the end of the world is stupid. and we're gonna meet our end sometime. and even though there are some things we can counter or think we can stop there are plenty of risks we can't do shit about so no point in worrying.

Re: The End of The World

But that would betray the whole purpose of the internet

The core joke of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is that of course no civilization would develop personal computers with instant remote database recovery, and then waste this technology to find good drinks.
Steve Jobs has ruined this joke.

The assumption that one could predict anything precise is ludicrous on its own. We already struggle to do a weather forecast that's reliable for an entire week.

Re: The End of The World

There are many forces in the universe with the power to destroy life on Earth. Luckily the probability of such an event happening sufficiently low to not warrant too much concern.

Re: The End of The World

"Some new weapons being developed are scaring the shit out of me... and USA is behind Russia and China for a couple of years... So who knows..."

There is no possible evidence for this that you would know of.

"First of all I don't trust CNN."

That claim is backed by scientific journals and I think nasa too.

"Do the math: It's already happened, it's already coming, and we won't get a warning until it gets here."

Do you mean explosions like this or that one like it has hit earth?

"From Planet X coming to wreck havoc to a so called prophecy of doom for 2012.  So then we are all doomed of course."

I'm not seeing anything about planet X hitting us or something like that come up on google, other then crackjob's saying aliens inhabit it.

Re: The End of The World

A fat bald bloke, some guy who's been repeatedly noncing his daughter for years, and a jumped-up Bosch Hammer-drill, vs a radiation stream 1000Ly long and up to 100Ly wide?

Erm... no... not even The Doctor could fix that one.

doesn't the link say that it is *8*000 lightyears away and that it might take up to 100.000 years still to explode?

Re: The End of The World

Damn it! Why do I keep using old links X(
....
oh wait, null point anyway, apparently the new scan has it angled 35ish degrees from us, so even though it's only got around 1000 years left it won't bother us when it does go.
And it is 8000Ly... god knows how I missed that hmm

[edit]now they're worried about it's cosmic ray output when it goes bang, apparently, radiation-wise, it'd be like half of Earth being hit in the face by an atomic wind.[/edit]

Re: The End of The World

It doesn't matter if:

The sun farts in our general direction.

The Planet X, Nebiru, Vulcan, Planet O, Quaur or any other object craps in our hair.

The Earth we live on burps.

What REALLY matters is the 6-7 000 000+ idiots on this planet who are ALL (yes me too) guaranteed to do something stupid on that day.

What that stupidity is, whether by collective or individual, violent or passive, the infectious spell of thought through the power of MASS suggestion has been cast and spread.

The world one way or another will hold it's breath on December 2012

Although it is all anecdotal, i did see notes from an IST Plasma Physics teacher, about a thinking tank in USA around the end of February of this year, and they were scary...

Re: The End of The World

we need to get everybody on earth to hop up and down for an hour at local noon, hopefully that would flip the planet sideways

yeah I know there's no reason behind it

but I never had any trouble getting people to swim the same direction to create a current in the pool, so this is the logical next step

Re: The End of The World

There is no end of the world.  There are only beginnings.  2012 cleverly planted into the psyche of the populus by the same intelligence that seeks too exploit it.  When in fear you are vulnerable.
