Scientists Predict When World Will End

[rack'm]

The sun will slowly expand into a red giant, pushing the Earth farther out into space, but not far enough.

 

[Larry Gude]

So...

...what we're saying is that man made global warming is SOOOO bad, it's killing the sun which will then kill us?

We only have a billion more years to inhabit earth?!

I'm waiting for the libs to put a shine on this one.

Does Algore know about this?

 

[Larry Gude]

I think...

Does Algore know about this?

...he should fly to the sun and give a speech warning them what we're up to.

Interesting article though.....

You wanna talk about the last picture you'll ever take.......

Damn George W. Bush and the conservatives for shunning the Kyoto accord, and doing this to our sun!











And, I thought the world was going to end on Dec. 23, 2012.

There's supposed to be a solar storm in 2012, you know?

Is that what it is?

I thought that was the year the earth crosses the galaxy's ecliptical plane - throwing our magnetic poles into chaos, which, in turn, will cause massive earthquakes, catastrophic weather, tsunami, famine, drought, disease, locusts, brimstone, and generally casting everything into a state of pure pandamonium.



Personally, I find the described pandamonium preferable to a solar storm - because frankly, interference on my digital TV or unreliable GPS data for a few months is simply unacceptable.

It's also going to be lined up with the sun and our galaxies black hole. The Myan calandar also ends on 21 Dec 12.

IF, though it rarely happens, the solar storm affects power, it'll affect everything. Try no heat in 5° weather and no electricity for more than a few months.

NYC has a plan to cut off power to the entire city to save the power grids. Everybody else would rather lose the power grids instead of make an error on the side of caution and cut power for 10 minutes.

Googling now, the solar storm of 2012 is going to be that bad.

The solar storm is expected to be at it's peak on, you guessed it, Decenber 21, 2012.

 

[Pete]

Does this mean that we have enough oil to last to the end after all?

 

[AndyMarquisLIVE]

Okay, it's supposed to peak in mid 2012.

The solar storm, by the way, starts this year.

Prince once predicted that the earth would end Jan 1st 2000. I partied like it was 1999, and nothing happend!

What if?

2012 Blog: The Calendar Ends Because It Has To?

If there was to be a pole shift, or some kind of disturbance within the Solar System, then the Long Count calendar, which the ancient Mayans used for such things as predicting eclipses, would no longer be accurate. Even if our day was suddenly only 2 minutes longer, or if the orbit of our moon was affected, the calendar would lose its accuracy!

So I'm thinking that current calendar ends on the winter solstice, not because of a catastrophe that will happen precisely at 11:11 GMT (they weren't that clever), but because that is the final important event that the calendar can accurately predict.

The event that changes how we see the sky will happen sometime between Dec 21 2012, and the next important event they would keep track of. That event would most likely be an eclipse, an equinox, or a solstice.

That would be interesting (and I have heard this theory before and it is the one I'm leaning towards). Imagine a "daytime" (light) that lasted a month and then "nightime" (darkness) that lasted 3+ months (wherever you are at the time, assuming you don't travel with the light).

Yes he does. Al Gore invented the sun.
