The End of the World

[MrCrazyDavis]

Well they thought the world was going to end in 1999 so microsoft spent so much
money on computer software so that is why computers are so good today
and that's why they called it windows 2000 because they thought that the millennium was going to bring the world to an end so i hope microsoft make another windows
so i thank bill gates and hid stupid belief's.

That makes no sense. Everyone thought all the technology would stop, which in turn would end the world. So why would he invest more into Microsoft?

Well before the world ends we will all be dead so all we can do is rough draft survival plans anyway.

Could be worse! Could all die by Something stupid like i love you

Everyone knows that the world is going to end with a zombie apocalypse. So stock up on guns, ammo, and pills.

I hear a Boomer... IT HAS BEGUN!

If the world were to end in the next four years, I'm not going to school.

>_<

The studio also launched a viral marketing website operated by the fictional Institute for Human Continuity, where filmgoers could register for a lottery number to be part of a small population that would be rescued from the global destruction.[18] David Morrison of NASA has received over 1000 inquiries from people who thought the website was genuine and has condemned it, saying "I've even had cases of teenagers writing to me saying they are contemplating suicide because they don't want to see the world end. I think when you lie on the internet and scare children in order to make a buck, that is ethically wrong."

Meanies.

The Earth will end approximately 2 billion years in the future when the sun implodes on itself creating a black hole. It's actually true.

Here's a little more accurate information. The sun will actually transform into a red giant.

The Sun is expected to become a red giant in approximately five billion years.[7] It is calculated that the Sun will become sufficiently large to engulf the current orbits of the solar system's inner planets, up to Earth,[11][12][13] and its radius will expand to a minimum of 200 times its current value.[14] The Sun will lose a significant fraction of its mass in the process of becoming a red giant, and there is a chance that Mars and all the outer planets will escape as their resulting orbits will widen.[15] Mercury and most likely Venus will have been swallowed by sun's outer layer at this time. Earth's fate is less clear. Earth could technically achieve a widening of its orbit and could potentially maintain a sufficiently high angular velocity to keep it from becoming engulfed. In order to do so, its orbit needs to increase to between 1.3 AU (190,000,000 km) and 1.7 AU (250,000,000 km).[16] However the results of studies announced in 2008 show that due to tidal interaction between sun and Earth, Earth would actually fall back into a lower orbit, and get engulfed and incorporated inside the sun before the sun reaches its largest size, despite the sun losing about 38% of its mass.[17] Before this happens, Earth's biosphere will have long been destroyed by the Sun's steady increase in brightness as its hydrogen supply dwindles and its core contracts, even before the transition to a Red Giant. After just over 1 billion years, the extra solar energy input will cause Earth's oceans to evaporate and the hydrogen from the water to be lost permanently to space, with total loss of water by 3 billion years.[18] Earth's atmosphere and lithosphere will become like that of Venus. Over another billion years, most of the atmosphere will get lost in space as well;[15] ultimately leaving Earth as a desiccated, dead planet with a surface of molten rock.[19]

Oh no facts..

But i think i learnt something >.<

 

[NikoKing]

Hm... It's a hard choice. Honestly, it's a 50/50 chance that the world will or will not end. The mayans were a smart race of people too, but even if their calendar has ended can't they reset it? Sometimes it pretty much confuses me, but oh well.

Humans will have died out by then anyway. That or moved on to some other planet.

Or we will have discovered warp drive and have left this galaxy.

If the world ends on December 21, 2012. I'll be mad.

It means I'll miss christmas that year!

I lol'd .

 

[Zachary]

So apparently the world is supposed to end on the 21st of December, 2012. In my opinion I think this is absolute bull*censored.2.0*. I mean the world was supposed to end like 100 times already, so why now? Why do they have to make a movie about it and scare kids to death?

Your thoughts?

We should all be scared anyways, the world could end at any moment. But, instead of fearing what will happen, we need to enjoy life. The world is going to end but, no one knows when. So, the world is not going to end in 2012, because we don't know when it will. (I hope that makes sense.)

 

[Pear]

whoops, double post..

 

[Pear]

Hey kids, the word of the day is bull *censored.2.0*!
Seriously, the Mayans just decided to end their calendar at 2012, assuming they wouldn't last that long. It's just a coincidence that it coincides with the solar system moving out of it's usual position. But that happens roughly every 5,000 years, and you didn't see humans go extinct when it happened last. Besides, according to the Mayan calendar, 2012 already passed. It's 2013 according to their calendar.

If they were so smart,how did they not see the Spaniards coming? (Don't give me the real reason, I know it already >_>)

Seriously, they could have been working on their calendar when some Spaniard a-hole tried to be funny and erased ___ years off the calendar.

 

[Micah]

I don't believe the world will end on that date.

I do believe in the world ending after the great tribulation.

More like 5 billion years, that's when it's supernova is most likely to occur. The sun is already about 5 billion years old, and a star like the Sun usually lasts about 10 billion years, no?

Or maybe the Earth will get stricken by a meteorite and wipe out all living things on the planet? Like what happened to the dinosaurs?

I actually have to agree with Trikki on this one, zombie apocalypse.

 

[gandalfail]

OMG THE 2012 MOVIE TRAILER IS AWESOME... but i dont think it'll happen
