The Mayans did not believe it either.


message 2: by Rinasa1234 (new)

Rinasa1234 | 661 comments I don't think it's going to happen. DYK, this whole prediction started with the Oracle of Delphi and the Mayans?

Laszlo (steampunk) | 1849 comments Mod
Yes. The Mayans, specifically, did not believe it was the end of the world.

"Tell a man that there are 400 billion stars and he'll believe you. Tell him a bench has wet paint and he has to touch it."

People generally tend to assume things are true.

Monkeyduels | 404 comments The end of the world? Pshaw, people will believe anything! In all seriousness though I will not give my opinion because I have don't have one. I mean I do believe that the world is going to end, but I hope that it happens after I'm rich and have kids. Cause for me it is like dying, you don't have any idea when it will happen but it is not a bad thing to be feared because we will be able to meet our maker quite literally, now if you will excuse me I must go buy a safety rock. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FTel7-...

Serena Take a long look at this list.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_...

*rolls eyes*

Now let me tell you what happened to me at the laundry mat just last week, while I was folding and sorting my clean clothes.

I got this pamphlet...



Yay~ yeah, I kept folding and sorting my clothes while this one lady tried to chat at me about it. The other didn't meet my eyes. Sorry, knocking on my door and leaving things is one thing; but chit-chatting over pain and suffering and the way it's all soon to end (in 2012) is just plain...incident, I mean, I had my clothes right there and everything.

Oh, oh, you know why I really think it's a laugh?

May 21, 2012? You know that whole end of the world thing?

That was my birthday. I didn't see that one coming, literally, as someone said "we're all still here" and it had to be explained to me what they meant.

The year I was born was also supposed to be the end-of-the-world...the year 2000 dooms-day sorta freaked me out a little, but as that was twelve years ago, I got over it.

Sorry, but as this has been going on since the literal year of my birth, I tend to think it's all a joke/scam.

Yet there is this : http://bible.cc/matthew/24-36.htm

So I guess whenever someone thinks it's the end of the world, it won't be. I see this as a backwards way of survival, think it's the end of the world all the time and it will never ever happen.

Except maybe in a billion years.

What I deduce from this is that the end will come when we are least expecting it. Or dead. Hopefully dead.

Interestingly, according to the wikipedia's list of far future events, here; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline...

At 600 million years, "Tidal acceleration moves the Moon far enough from Earth that total solar eclipses are no longer possible"

Isn't science fun?


ℂᖺαᖇᒪἷ℮ ⊰1017 &Tardis⊱ (charlie_awesome) | 376 comments It won't end. Probably. But the world could end anyday, no?

Laszlo (steampunk) | 1849 comments Mod
There is also the theory that the universe could collapse at any second.


message 12: by Rinasa1234 (new)

Rinasa1234 | 661 comments Humans are the most dangerous things IMO.


message 13: by Laszlo, The Professor (new)

Laszlo (steampunk) | 1849 comments Mod
IMO?


message 14: by Rinasa1234 (new)

Rinasa1234 | 661 comments In my opinion


message 15: by Laszlo, The Professor (new)

Laszlo (steampunk) | 1849 comments Mod
I believe that we are dangerous, but not the most dangerous. The idea of us being the most-mega dangerous and powerful people, in my mind, is somewhat narcissistic. No offense.


message 16: by Laszlo, The Professor (new)

Laszlo (steampunk) | 1849 comments Mod
Yes, I agree with that, but I am saying that sometimes we think about that and think about how powerful we are to be able to do that.


message 17: by Laszlo, The Professor (new)

Laszlo (steampunk) | 1849 comments Mod
Exactly.


ℂᖺαᖇᒪἷ℮ ⊰1017 &Tardis⊱ (charlie_awesome) | 376 comments The Yellowstone supervolcano could erupt at any moment with only ann hour or two of warning. Caldera activity has been up higher than ever in the recent years! (view spoiler)


ℂᖺαᖇᒪἷ℮ ⊰1017 &Tardis⊱ (charlie_awesome) | 376 comments :D I'm very paranoid. And usually pretty smart, which is a dangerous combination.


message 20: by Laszlo, The Professor (new)

Laszlo (steampunk) | 1849 comments Mod
I am neither paranoid nor smart. I'm unique!


message 21: by Rinasa1234 (new)

Rinasa1234 | 661 comments Yeah, I wasn't saying that we are the most powerful things ever, we are just the biggest threat because we act like we own the world.


message 22: by Laszlo, The Professor (new)

Laszlo (steampunk) | 1849 comments Mod
I know, but some think we are. I am also saying that, while we are a threat, we are not the biggest threat.


ℂᖺαᖇᒪἷ℮ ⊰1017 &Tardis⊱ (charlie_awesome) | 376 comments That's what I want you to think...


message 24: by Badgerlord, Marquis de Badger (new)

Badgerlord | 727 comments Mod
We are one of the largest threats to ourselves, but on a universal scale, we are pretty much nothing. Enjoy your days, mortals!


ℂᖺαᖇᒪἷ℮ ⊰1017 &Tardis⊱ (charlie_awesome) | 376 comments There is no hope.


message 26: by Badgerlord, Marquis de Badger (new)

Badgerlord | 727 comments Mod
All your base are belong to us.

ℂᖺαᖇᒪἷ℮ ⊰1017 &Tardis⊱ (charlie_awesome) | 376 comments lol.


I'm proud of myself for getting that


message 31: by Serena (new)

Serena Well that End-of-the-World day was a dud. lols


ℂᖺαᖇᒪἷ℮ ⊰1017 &Tardis⊱ (charlie_awesome) | 376 comments That's scary! It rained so hard and the wind was worse than the hurricane, it seemed!


message 33: by Rinasa1234 (new)

Rinasa1234 | 661 comments The 6 graders thought it was the zombie apocalypse, and the students of this one science teacher who showed her classes the movie, The Day After Tomorrow, thought it was the end the world. Other people thought people were bombing or shooting our school because a student from a nearby high school in a different district made a threat against our height school. He posted on Facebook saying he was going to bring guns and bombs since we are all going to die anyway.

Badgerlord | 727 comments Mod
What? The world didn't end for you guys too? Damn.


message 35: by Monkeyduels (new)

Monkeyduels | 404 comments The closest thing to the end of the world here was snow falling continuously for three days straight.

I do believe that. But I won't take any time out of my life to try to predict it.

It looks like the world didn't end.


message 38: by Laszlo, The Professor (new)

Laszlo (steampunk) | 1849 comments Mod
You know about the Omega Point?


message 39: by Laszlo, The Professor (new)

Laszlo (steampunk) | 1849 comments Mod
The universe will expand so much it will collapse on itself.


message 40: by Laszlo, The Professor (new)

Laszlo (steampunk) | 1849 comments Mod
We don't know. It can happen whenever.


message 41: by Rinasa1234 (new)

Rinasa1234 | 661 comments Is that a good or bad thing?


message 42: by Laszlo, The Professor (new)

Laszlo (steampunk) | 1849 comments Mod
Neutral.


message 43: by Rinasa1234 (new)

Rinasa1234 | 661 comments Okee
