2012 December 21 (or 23 w/e)

[ElderGOD]

Being bugged by a couple people wasn't bad, but too many people are getting serious about this end of the world shit.

As if the Mega Disasters shows and all this other crap wasn't annoying enough.

If something that big (like polar shift) occurs, then there won't be much you will be able to do about it.

[epp1e]

The date is 12212012
if you add the numbers up in pairs then it becomes 3323
3 323 = 3v3s with 3 crazy 323 MvC2 players = the end of the world

[Higher-Jin]

The world already ended in the year 2000. The Y2K bug destroyed everything.

I just realized that's an election year + it's like a month after elections. I think it's cause that's when AHHHNULLDD will get to run (if Congress somehow passes the bill for making people not born in the USA able to run for president)

[Einlanzer]

if thats true, hopefully i'll get laid by then.

[BBQ]

After mentally preparing myself for the Y2K event and being let down, I really don't give a shit if the world does end up in apocalypse, hopefully I'll be in Alaska snowboarding by then.

[Sasmasta]

I never heard of this...EVER.

[goodm0urning]

The apocalypse has been predicted a number of times, each time resulting in failure. 2012 will be no different.

[DaDesiCanadian]

Someone get Magnetix in here to explain how this relates to TUPAC.

yeah pretty much

[ckrazy]

- I remember someone telling me the y2k bug was going to be the end of us. << okay what the fuck it 2007 and we still alive.

- Some one was saying about how the world was going to end in 2007 b/c of some religious shit. (it was from catholics) << okay so now it November and yet I am still alive and so is the rest of the world.

- Now there one for 2012? < GTFO!

what next 2069?

[Einlanzer]

yo, on some real shit, did anyone have a computer that wasn't "y2k compliant"? lol.

i'm just wondering if something happened to it once we got into the 2000's.

[Worthless]

Man December 21?The world just has to end on my birthday.

Damn.

What I don't quite get about all this end of the world business is why it matters. I mean if everything ends, then there's nothing left to really worry about, is there? The fucking world's gone, buddy.

But Y2K was fucking serious business. I think one of my alarm clocks stopped working.

Well my fear is, just like with the Heaven's Gate cult back in 2000, that there will be people who feel that they are supposed to enact the end of days, essentially making a self-fulfilling prophecy through their own warped sense of entitlement and destiny.

Basically douchebags with a purpose and money.

[umthrfkr]

Basically douchebags with a purpose and money.
Interestingly enough, I was just perusing (which means to read carefully and not skim, unlike its colloquial usage) the profile of that religious group a few weeks ago, and I'd have to say that at least their beliefs didn't really have them enact the end of days. In fact, I think they didn't even believe in the end of days or that it was coming soon. Instead, the Hale-Bopp comet that passed by supposedly carried with it a ship that would ferry its believers into the Kingdom. The catch was that the potential passengers had to shed their earthly bodies to board the ship.

While there was a lot of controversy regarding brainwashing and whatnot (although I personally believe that the mass suicide had something to do with the then-recent death of the founder's wife), a deeper exploration of the Heaven's Gate religious movement would reveal that they actually were rational people, except they valued the potential of going to the Kingdom on the ship more than that of staying here on Earth.

[DragonSama]

Let’s see so far we were supposed to have flying cars, all the computers in the world crash and destroy life on the planet, get destroyed in a war between giant shape shifting robots, make contact with alien beings, get blow up by aliens, have moon bases, and have a giant metal planet that can eat anything in the universe devour us.

So someone call me when shit actually happens.

The world ain't ending anytime soon.

rational people =/= suicide

In any case I referred to Heaven's Gate not because they sought to destroy the world, but because they purported a prophetic happening based on "significant" date. Since 2012 is largely considered to be doomsday prophecy I'm sure there will be (or are) a few burgeoning cults that might use it to do mass murders.

Japan got a hit with nerve/ sarin gas attack in a train station several years ago because of a raucous cult leader (Shoko Asahara IIRC) bent on bringing about Armageddon.

[Septimus Prime]

I can argue with you all day about rationality and religion because I'm actually extremely interested in the subject and have/do study it, but this is SRK.

Just know that I disagree with you regarding rationality and "cults."

[platinum_pinoy]

I say SRK should take over the world if it does happen.

i dont see how the Y2k bug ever even got passed scientists....

no seriously. there are a buncha people out there amish, indigenous tribes, and homeless people. who never use technology and get by.

that was the stupidest fucking shit ever....

btw TIMEZONES pwned the Y2k bug...

EDIT: Also in my opinion END OF THE WORLD prophesies are the same as those stupid Chain Letters that say if you dont repost this X amount of times a fucking monster will come out from your ear to suck your dick....

[catchafire]

Its amazing how this thread has made it to page two without mention of the people who made this prophecy, the ancient Mayans. They were a people ahead of their time and were very gifted or knowledgeable about time, the planet, the sun, and what not. They predicted that in the year 2012, something disasterous will happen. How do they know?

Well, it just so happens that in the year 2012, eart will cross the galactic center... What that means, I don't know...

[Sacr3D]

They didn't predict about anything bad happening. It just happens that their damn calendar ends. I mean its suppose to end one day right?

[ckrazy]

I should seriously make up some bull shit and write a book about it I could make some serious $$$.

They predicted a new age of great change, it is people that translate that into some kind of purging or Armageddon.

The Mayans do have the most precise calender, but that was because their entire civilization was based on time and charting the heavens.


Secondly, I did some searching and found zip on earth crossing the galactic center. As far as I know our solar system is closer to the spiral arms since the galactic bulge us very hot and most stars are within a few million miles between each other.

[ElderGOD]

Use google or wiki, too lazy to list all the things.

Planets lining up, solar flares reaching Earth, meteor hitting Earth, supervolcano, global warming, etc.

Seriously, the next person to come up to me and ask me if I know about 2012, I will tell him/her "you can avoid it if you go kill yourself... Right NOW"

[Derez-]

Heh, interesting fact. In the last episode of X-flies that is the date of the "end of the world" or rather the date the aliens invade.

As above so below. How will the stars look on that date?

[goodm0urning]

Secondly, I did some searching and found zip on earth crossing the galactic center. As far as I know our solar system is closer to the spiral arms since the galactic bulge us very hot and most stars are within a few million miles between each other.Specifically, we are pretty far out in the inner edge of a barred spiral arm. So yeah, we're far away from the central bulge, which is densely packed with stars. The nearest extrasolar star is four light years away from here.

Penn & Teller did a pretty good episode of Bullshit! that recounted a lot of previous attempts to predict the moment the world would end, which all ended up passing fairly uneventfully. They included some shit about Nostradamus and interviewed some post-apocalyptic survivalists. It was pretty funny.

[Nando]

well, if it des end, I hope it ends in a way were we know about it, and have a giant ass party.... like the sun blowing up.

Something about the Mayan calendar ending. Or some bizzare astrological equation. Or the REAL "year 2000." Or something else equally ludicrous.

They should hold evo on that day might as well if they world is gonna end on that day :rofl:

[Psycho Flame]

On a side note, anyone hear about the discovery of a 5th planet (http://www.berkeley.edu/news/media/releases/2007/11/06_Cancri.shtml) from a nearby star being discovered. It's not really anything to get TOO worked up about, but it does give hope that there are other star systems with planets that may be 'inhabitable'. I've always thought that was cool, minus the thought of extraterrestrial life.

Apparently it's the nucleus of the Milky Way and most if not all galaxies have a galactic center. From the wiki page it says that scientists hypothesize that a supermassive black hole lies in the galactic center of the milky way and other galaxies.

Now what happens when we cross that black hole, who knows. Maybe we will get sucked into some tripped out dimension and everything goes Utopian in an instant, Armageddon starts, we all disappear and cease to exist in an instant, whatever. It's only 5 years away so we'll soon find out.

Now what happens when we cross that black hole, who knows. Maybe we will get sucked into some tripped out dimension and everything goes Utopian in an instant, Armageddon starts, we all disappear and cease to exist in an instant, whatever. It's only 5 years away so we'll soon find out.Absurd. Our solar system won't cross the center of the galaxy for the same reason the Earth's orbit doesn't pass through the Sun at any point, and for the same reason the Moon's orbit doesn't randomly take it straight into the face of the Earth. Orbits are utterly predictable. They don't suddenly change, unless an outside supermassive object acts upon them.

For our place in the galaxy to appreciably change at all, there would have to be one hell of a supermassive object--no less than another galaxy--nearby to act upon it. That alone is sufficient enough reason to throw this entire theory down the shitter. The closest galaxy to our own, Andromeda, is 2.5 million light years away--you can see it on a clear night as a dim smudge, no larger than a bright star, in the Andromeda constellation. Andromeda is not suddenly going to show up to move us around in 2012 (fucking absurd). Furthermore, even Andromeda suddenly warped 2.5 million light years in a matter of five years--which is physically impossible--the idea that such an event could be predicted to a degree that we would not only know about it, but also know that we'd wind up in the heart of the Milky Way, is so ridiculous that I could sooner expect to grow five extra dicks and win the lottery on the same day.

Oh yeah, also: if we were to fall into a black hole for any reason, we'd be stretched, torn, crunched, crushed, crumbled, and spewed back into the universe in the form of thermal energy. GGPO Planet Earth.

[Will Gotti]

Absurd. <snip>

I know you're talking about the scientists theories, but I don't know about any of this shit. I can look up in the sky and find constellations but that's about it. I see or read something about the solar system then ponder about it so, I can only imagine the imaginable and unimaginable. Where did you learn your theories from anyways?
