End of the World?

[Terry16389]

Well, as most of you know, the world was believed to have a slight chance of ending today. Some supercollider or another was supposed to generate a black hole, ending Earth and our entire solar system.

Another theory says that on December 21, 2012, the world is going to end, due to the alignment of the Earth, the Sun, (I also believe the moon, but I don't recall.) and the center of our galaxy (Or is it the universe? I don't remember.), and the end of the Mayan calendar.

I personally believe the world isn't going to end until the time comes when the Sun consumes Earth, as it inevitably will, in about 200 billion years.

Thoughts?

December 21, 2012 is one day before I turn 20... T_T
Hopefully this isn't true...

Mmm... I go with your third theory.

[Shadonking]

i herd that the galaxy is expanding so we wont go into the sun but freeze becuase we will be to far away from it.

an ice age would kill us off anyway and they have happend hundreds of times in the earths live span that we can measure.

so to be blunt were all f*cked any way lol

[Diokatsu]

The end of the world? End might be a lot of things kid.

The third theory is the only one that makes sense out of those...

Eventutally the world IS going to end, unless of course God aut al.* will save us...

This thread will just go into religion in the end ;_;


* Aut al. is a variation on et al. from the Latin "Et Alii/Aliae/Alia" meaning and others. "Aut" means or

[Shadonking]

i bloody hope not.

the earth relies on somany things all that needs to happen is for one of them to lose control or vanish and its all over for us, but it wont happen in our life time (i hope) so no need to worry much.

the way things are goin the ozone will be the first to give

Class of 2012's really going to get it...Right out of graduation, the apocalypse is going to strike. Gee, they have a bad life ah---Oh crap, I'm part of the Class 2012! 0_0

Really now, the Mayans have been on a complete accurate event telling, and that's really the only proof why this can actually happen. The Mayans were right about the Romans' downfall, the Mayans were right about their downfall. Scientifically, this can't even be true. Well, it can, but I mean, someone would notice. It's illogical at sometime that soon...Oh well.


Issac Newtwon had an apocalypse prediction himself; 2060. Don't know when though.

There's another theory about the Sun consuming the Earth before a black hole could generate.

Another theory says that on December 21, 2012, the world is going to end, due to the alignment of the Earth, the Sun, (I also believe the moon, but I don't recall.) and the center of our galaxy (Or is it the universe? I don't remember.), and the end of the Mayan calendar.

They are theories and nothing else. They weren't proven, at all. The Mayan's could have stopped? Who knows? We weren't there. Plus, humans still continued along with 2013 and more.

I personally believe the world isn't going to end until the time comes when the Sun consumes Earth, as it inevitably will, in about 200 billion years.

True.

I fail to see how the prediction of the own downfall is difficult. We will all die as well. Now, when we are all dead and somebody discovers about our civilisation they will say: "OMG, THAT BLIZZARD GUY WAS SO SMART, HE KNEW THEY WERE ALL GONNA DIE!" Seriously, everything ends someday the one way or another. That's the only thing that is certain: the end of something.

[Shadonking]

true

apart from the smart thing lol

life always ends at some point and then the cycle starts all over agian.

[Blizzard]

That's exactly my point. Just because they were able to predict their downfall doesn't mean they were "smart" because of that.

[Chaze007]

the world is going to end when obese people [like me] weigh it down & it sinks and falls and we freeze?

[Shadonking]

about the black hole, i herd that some scientist's made something that can make one thats so small that you can hardly see it, (personly i dont believe it becuase what is the point of that) to be honsest i did hear it on it on mock the week.

The point of science in the first place is too investigate and observe the wor,d through reasoning and experiementation, or something along those lines. Personally I think it doesn't matter when the world will end, it's just stupid to spend time thinking on. If the world ends tomorrow, you'll die. If the world ended in 200 billion years, you'll all be dead anyways.

[Vell]

theres one major fail to this thread: everything will end. that is a given.

NOW ENJOY WHATEVER YOU HAVE YOU DAMNED FOOLS!

[Diokatsu]

Now now, God may save us Ulta. As such, you must accept all views. We have no insight on what goes on outside our reality so the end is NOT a given. And don't give me crap about how there is no religious debates. This thread was bound to cross that line.

No, it wasn't bound to cross the line. I was talking about the SCIENTIFICALLY INCLINED theories people have about the world ending, not the religious theories. Not to mention we're talking about the end of the world not humanity, which is what religious texts call an 'end' to, if it can even be called an end, they don't talk about the end of the world.

Anyway, I'm still sticking to my theory that the world ends when the Sun consumes the earth. There's nothing else that has even a close percentage of certainty as that, from what I've seen.

[Diokatsu]

Change the topic then.

Of course the scientifically bound theories all are based on the assumption the world will end and no variance will occur in time. I'd love to see time stop xD

Well, as most of you know, the world was believed to have a slight chance of ending today. Some supercollider or another was supposed to generate a black hole, ending Earth and our entire solar system.

This rumor is a load of bullshit on so many levels. For one we are already doing the same thing and the people who say this stuff spew this crap every time a new super-collider comes online. The truth is they are smashing photons of light and even if that near impossible chance came to be the black hole would be the size of a photon of light which won't do a thing. It would take a black hole at least as big as our sun to destroy the earth.

The biggest threat to life on earth is the current global warming threat we are facing right now and aside from that the next thing we have to worry about is in 2029 I believe when there is a 1:1000ish possibility that an asteroid will pass through a keyhole and hit us 7 years later(April Friday 13th).

As far as the total destruction of earth goes that will be happening in about 200 billion years as the sun continues to expand and due to gravitational forces it will probably stop expanding just short of the earth due to the fact that as the sun moves out the other planets will slowly move away too. The destruction will happen when the sun finally collapses into a red dwarf and the shock wave will spread out and turn the solar system into a few small rock balls and some dust and whatnot.

*The super-collider you are referring to is the LHC(Large Hadron Collider) run by CERN

[Starrodkirby86]

I was about to mention if an asteroid hits Earth and we are unprotected, we're screwed. You ever seen this video of a Japanese simulation if an Asteroid of a huge size does hit Earth? My, it was just destructive. Of course, the asteroid just HAD to kill Japan first...>_>

Nevertheless, the end of the world is not going to be anytime near. If it is, then Science instantly turned illogical and it's all crazy. I seriously can't wait to go bananas when the apocalypse arrives if it really is that near. But I doubt it'll be near, and by the next billion years, we'll all be extinct or humanity would leave Earth anyway. Who knows what will happen, we'll all not experience it after all...I mean, we'll be all dead!

[Chaze007]

what the hell are you talking about? god is going to kill us O.O...

jesus: GOD WHAT THE HELL? I'M GONE FOR ABOUT 2 THOUSAND YEARS AND LOOK WHAT THE FUCK YALL DO TO MY PLANET! MAN IN OUT OF HERE *goes back to heaven*

*world plunges & collides with hell*

oh noes ]:
