Felix Culpa Posted November 20, 2009 Report Share Posted November 20, 2009 Welcome to the Survival Tactics with your friend, Felix Culpa. As a master knot tier, Felix has just enough knowledge to not die. Thanks scouting! But now down to some serious business. The End of the World has been predicted multiple times due to different dates on the calendar, most recently 9/9/09 in which a priest cause mass hysteria in his church by saying the the world would end because 9/9/9 is 666 upside down. Did he miss the actual 6/6/06? I mean, there was mass hysteria then too, but at least it was justified. 999 is not the number of the beast. The year 2000, being a notable year for many reasons. It's the year Sims came out for the computer. Also, it is the year that many predicted the world would end because of the start of the new millennium, which seems entirely ridiculous because this world has been spinning round for almost five billion years, yet somehow, these doomsday predictions seem completely nonnegotiable. Let's think forward to a time where mass hysteria is abound to happen, causing mass damage to the world economy thus causing the world to plummet into depression, Dec. 21, 2012. According to a few Western World scientists crazies, studying Mayan ruins, discovered that the Mayan Calendar ended on 2012! Oh no! Except for the fact that in fact, it did not. It also never said anywhere in Mayan mythology that the world would. Shove that in your feathers, Quetzalcoatl! Also, I would like to look back onto another formerly dispelled end of the world myth, the panic of 999. "DEC. 31, 999 In the Apocrypha it was prophesied that the world would end in 1,000 years. Fanatics all over Europe believed that the Last Judgment was to be expected at Jerusalem on the last day of 999. Despite official discouragement by the Church, throngs of pilgrims proceeded eastward. Knights, citizens, serfs, and children by the thousands died from starvation on the long journey. Every natural phenomenon was greeted with panic. Thunder sent them to their knees, meteor sightings made them weep and pray in the streets. Many people gave away and pray in the streets. Many people gave away their property to insure themselves a place in heaven when the end of the world came. On the fateful day, crowds of people left their camps at the foot of biblical Mt. Zion and climbed to the top, where Jesus was supposed to appear. Nothing happened. At the beginning of the next century, families began to return home, only to find that what they had left behind was now in ruins from neglect. Later in the year 1000, barbaric Huns began invasions, famine struck, and plagues killed thousands." - http://www.trivia-library.com/b/predictions-for-the-end-of-the-world-from-999-to-1600.htm The only thing that makes this strange is that the world didn't accept the Gregorian calendar until the Renaissance, even though it was created in the late 6th century AD. That discredits this source... Strangely enough, a lot of these have been discharged. But panic anyway, that way I get attention. And remember. The taut line hitch is always an effective D-Day reliever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Felix Culpa Posted November 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2009 People are superstitious and paranoid. Old news is old. Everything is paranoid. And that is why computers will become paranoid enough to gain thinking minds behind are backs and take over the world. [/sar] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, Dweller, this is in fact not a thread trying to disregard your puny insignificant belief that you will live forever.

Dweller of Parables Posted November 20, 2009 Report Share Posted November 20, 2009 So what do you propose?Phone someone to find out if Jesus is somewhere?Walk from New York to Jerusalem?What?A Kraken seems more believable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-SacredPhoenixofNephthys- Posted November 20, 2009 Report Share Posted November 20, 2009 i think it would be destroyed in 2012.i think a few humans would go to the bermuda triangle as a last resort.The bermuda triangle would protect from the apacolypse because of historical and holy terms (as would a church, synagogue, chaple, ect)they will continue with life and die of ravenous bunny wabbits O_o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skippy Canoe Posted November 20, 2009 Report Share Posted November 20, 2009 There is actually no real reason the world would end. In fact, scientists aren't even worried about the Mayan Calendar ending. They are only partly worried about the solar maximum occuring in 2012. The sun will be much more active, and if we get hit by a solar storm, we dead FOO! But, this happened in 2001, and 1990, and every eleven years. The only time this actually happened was in 1859, but the only technology affected was the telegraph, thus, the world remained unended. Thought I would comfort you. By the way, no planet is going to collide with us either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Felix Culpa Posted November 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2009 No planet could collide with ours.The closest thing to that would be the closest galaxy, the Canis Major Dwarf Galaxy, which is in a cosmic dance with us and will run our galaxy through in 5 billion years! ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skippy Canoe Posted November 21, 2009 Report Share Posted November 21, 2009 I said no planet would collide with us. >_> Besides, Earth would be destroyed before that when the sun turns into a red giant and engulfs the first three planets of the solar system.

Felix Culpa Posted November 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2009 Well, Mr. Canoe, I am sorry to inform you that the sun at its current mass and rate will not explode into a supernova, but collapse into a dwarf, or something along that line, not a red giant. It's simply not big enough. The Dwarf Galaxy will collide with ours spinning the sun out of the solar system and then, as all hope is fading, I will laugh as we all die from subzero space temperatures.

Skippy Canoe Posted November 21, 2009 Report Share Posted November 21, 2009 Afraid to tell you, but you skipped a step of the sun's life cycle. Sorry, but I'm one of the two third best youth astronomers in Michigan, so I have to correct you. ^_^ The sun, an average star, will expand to a normal red giant and engulf up to us, or push our orbit out further. Either way, we're toasted. Then, once we're all dead, the sun's outer layer's will escape into space, and it's core will only be left, thus, it will be a white dwarf, and about the size of Earth. Now, if the sun was a massive star, well, we'd be dead already anyway. It would expand into a supergiant, and eventually explode as a supernova, and either collapse, creating a black hole, or leave only a neutron star, where only neutrons can exist in it's dense atmosphere. And what with the Dwarf Galaxy hitting the sun away? The sun's not even solid, and would die before that happened. : P Sorry again. I'm a stars dork.
