You're all just fooling yourself.
you know it's going to happen, but pretend it's not. but we all know it is. |
Re: The end of the world is....not happening...
Having posted all my foreign Christmas cards early at least my friends will know I love and miss them whilst they cope with the aftermath of the apocalypse, shame they probably won't get the presents though as the hats and scarves would have come in handy.
In fact I think I will post all my UK cards this weekend as it seems a shame to waste the money I have already shelled out in postage. :D |

The Mayans, didn't foresee the Leap years, so their Calender actually ran out in Summer 2011.

Re: The end of the world is....not happening...
It's a good thing I've been watching Doomsday Preppers on National Geographic!

Re: The end of the world is....not happening...
There is one vital fact that seems to be missing from this thread. Who really knows when it's game over? Only intelligent replies will be considered :D. Don't cancel the turkey just yet :tiptoe:
|
Re: The end of the world is....not happening...
Scientific consensus is that we have about 5 billion years left before the Sun turns into a red giant and burns up all life on Earth.
Providing we haven't destroyed the planet ourselves or been hit by a rogue comet, that is when the Earth will cease to be able to support life. |
Re: The end of the world is....not happening...
Actually, we won't have to wait that long; the Sun's output is gradually increasing, and in about one billion years' time, things will be a bit too hot around 'ere. :shocked:
As for the prediction - it's the specificity of the date that renders it nonsensical. What did the Mayans know about rogue planets hurtling through space, or whatever it's supposed to be? They couldn't have predicted anything that far in advance. Besides, gravitational pertubations throughout the solar system would've alerted astronomers across the world by now, if a large-enough body were on its way here. Besides, it's far more likely Jupiter would've grabbed it and turned it into yet another temporary moon. It does that. :p: <slightly O/T, I think> And don't even get me started on the doomsday planners. Oh, too late; never mind. :p: There isn't going to be a nuclear war; Russia is no longer capable of waging it - or, for that matter, inclined to. Any other country that has nuclear capability has to worry about delivery systems...and America will see it coming anyway and bomb 'em out of existence. That hardly qualifies as a 'war'. Besides, a post-nuclear world wouldn't be worth surviving for (no trees, flowers, kittens. butterflies? Noooooooo!). Nor would we deserve to; doing such a thing would conclusively prove we were an evolutionary failure. The Earth would eventually clean itself up and carry on as if we'd never existed. The prediction's on a par with Star Trek's ludicrous plot device of imminent life support failure, as if the crew would die immediately after the failure. There'd still be breathable air for a while, and the Enterprise wouldn't simply freeze instantly. There would be time. There would be options. I always hated those episodes. </slightly O/T> |
Re: The end of the world is....not happening...
Maybe the guy who was writing the calender simply died?
|
Re: The end of the world is....not happening...
I just realised that we have a Mayan calender hanging on our wall from a trip to Mexico.

Re: The end of the world is....not happening...
I just realised that we have a vegetable colander hanging on our kitchen wall from a trip to Homebase...;)

Re: The end of the world is....not happening...
I liked the documentary that basically put time since the Earth began, was put on a 24 hour clock face and we had only been around for 5 minutes of that '24' hour period.
Possible future Doomsday events (Apparently):- The Moon is apparently spinning away from us at 3cm per year (this distance speeding up over recent years) meaning we will no longer have a stable Axis, causing the Earth seasons to vanish. Jupiter has such a strong Gravitational force that it pulls Earth's North Pole and the Earth shifts Axis causing massive tidal waves on our Planet. The Super Volcano, currently residing under North America, actual location:- Yellow Stone National Park, erupts with such massive force that causes Dust to settle in the Earth's atmostphere for months causing Sun light to be blocked causing the Food chain to be spoiled. Earth's Core solidifies and the Earth loses the Natural Magnetic shield, currently protecting us from Solar wind. The Sun and it's solar wind, strips the Earth of it's Atmosphere and end result, the planet looks like Mars does now. Milky Way and Andromeda Galaxies collide, it has become apparent that our nearest Neighbour galaxy, Andromeda is on a collision course with our Galaxy, in billions of years time, it may cause untold Gravational effects. Astroid or Comet, hits Earth causing a ELE (Extinction Level Event). Our nearest Star (Sol, or The Sun) begins to enter it's final phases of it's life by burning up it's Fuel and it expands to a Super Giant Star, it engulfs Mercury and Venus and quite possibly the Earth. |

At the risk of invoking Godwin's law, a militaristic political organisation that was popular in certain parts of Europe until about 1945 was known to have had similar thoughts ;). Sadly though, they pursued them to their logical conclusion rather than simply offering them up for discussion.

Mayan's that were more advanced than modern day scientists though! seems legit.

I really don't understand why anybody would assume that numbers (which aren't completely accurate seeing as there aren't exactly 24 hours in a day) aligning would signify the end of the world :confused:

The prophecy foretold on 21.12.12 a Korean man riding an invisible horse would achieve 1 billion views on a single video via YouTube.

Re: The end of the world is....not happening...
I love the way all the websites which claim the end of the world on 21/12 are running ad schemes which pay on the last day of the month....

Re: The end of the world is....not happening...
Only God the Father knows, not even Jesus or the Holy Spirit are privy to that information. I'm simply happy to know that, when it happens....:)

Watching a documentary about this and the Mayans.
The fact that this civilisation destroyed it's self by resorting to human sacrifice and then throwing the bodies into their water supply thereby poisoning themselves seems to me a very valid reason for not taking their predictions seriously.:rolleyes: |
Re: The end of the world is....not happening...
AFAIK it's not meant to be the end of the world, anyway, just the end of the current calendar cycle.

Re: The end of the world is....not happening...
Well i intend to be ****ed all day so if it does happen at least i will be merry :LOL:

May I take this final opportunity to wish you all the best of luck over the next 24 hours. :)
I am just off to have a final indulgent meal of bacon, eggs and black pudding whilst I can still use my cooker. Love you all, so take care and last one to leave the forum please remember to turn off the light. |
Re: The end of the world is....not happening...
BREAKING NEWS!!! There has been a collision with large asteroid NB-4562-C and it's smaller cousin ND-29719 earlier today. There is a risk of some very large fragments entering the Earth's atmosphere tonight.
List of news articles covering this below. NASA press release to follow. http://alturl.com/d42tt |

OK! I have the PERFECT song for this. I am the first person to think of this song as being perfect for the end of the world, as we know it anyway. No one else would have thought to play this song in connection with today:

No, I'm quite sure nobody else in the entire world has posted that on their Facebook wall this morning. :oops:
