Topic: 2012

Y'know, we should give OUR calendar makers some respect. Without them, the world would end.

Actually, internet already have calendars, as our offline computers, so they all could die and we won't see any diference...

No, the world won't end in 2012. The Mayan's never said it would either- they did say the nature of the world would change, As it has many times previously. As they studied celestial cycles far better than us foolish moderns I am inclined to take their word for it- well, that and the fact we are running out of oil.....

Less oil=less fuel for when the sun explodes and destroys us all.

1) We are running out of oil last couple of decades, and we will not run out of it in 2012. And we will have alternatives to it before we completely run out of it. Unfortunately "sky is falling" stories are more attractive to media than boring truth, so lot of people think what eco-religion lobby wants them to think.

2) Sun will not explode just because some wacky melonist (green outside, red inside), because we have ZERO influence on the sun and our sun is not the type that would explode at some point of its life.

Perhaps you should google "climegate", before you post some "eco" dogma, because lie repeated thousand times doesnt become truth.

Kony is right, and our sun has a long time before it dies out peacefully (As it will do)
At the rate it is using up the hydrogen for fussion it will still be able to burn for many many many more years (A couple billion if I remember correctly)
Furthurmore, after the hydroged is used, the sun begins to fuse its helium into carbon, and carbon into iron. so there is still much more time!

Lol, it was obvious that you were being sarcastic, doesn't mean we can't argue the points XD

Especially because there are ignorant people who would believe it.

sunscreen 1000 anyone?

Sunscreen protects us from UV rays.

It does not protect us from explosions.

T.T

I still think a black hole would be a nice end to this planet...

Figure out where LHC failed, then.

Lmao, XD
LHC could create black holes, but ones created would only last a fraction of a second!
If you are interested in why message me, because it might be a hefty response XD

Lol, I'm not even sure what's the conection between search for higgs boson and black holes

Lol, The particles are moving at near light speed and when they collide (and if they don't annihilate eachother) they can compress into a space in which the mass of the two particles are great enough to have an event horizon.
:P
But that is really really unlikely since the particles in the accelerator would be matter and anti-matter collisions. :)

the large hadron collider wont cause a black hole- nowhere near enough mass for the tiny energies they are using(relatively speaking). Even a microscopic black hole wouldn't effect the earth in our lifetime even if it were stable- it's event horizon is so small the mass loss is tiny even after it falls to the center of the earth. It takes a LONG time to drain planet through a cocktail straw you see. It wouldn't grow much either- the entire mass of the planet would make an event horizon about a hundred microns across....

Lol, kinda right, but mostly wrong. A small mss blackhole will last a fraction of a second because of a quantum mechanical effect that I shouldn't really go into XD
But the possibilities of a blackhole are real, just unlikely and non-threatening

How about an implossion bomb? Is it even possible?

Somewhat, Hydrogen bombs go through an implosive stage but then they begin to undergo Fussion, in which case the explode XD

A bomb that imploded would have to rely only on gravity since its the only force that will pull no matter its constituents (unless you get to exotic matter).
so, the only way that would be possible if they could create a massive blackhole that had enough mass to not glow (I know that sounds weird, but believe me).

So, it is unlikely, but physically possible, as far as I understand XD
