December 23, 2012 or something like that. The Mayans said it (kind of) so it must be true! :rolleyes:

What do u mean world end are u talking the actual destruction of the planet earth? because that wont happen for several million maybe even billion years

its quite possible our race will be wiped out before that, or at least 95% of the human race dying anyway ye it will happen wither by MAJOR natrel disaster like the super volcano or impact from forign body if either of those two don't happen then it will be the year 01/01/00 (2100)

Mayans ftw \o/

I don't think people realise how much of a threat asteroids actually pose to our planet. Everyone has an idea, but really.......it's much worst than you think.

We are over-due the regular catastrophic impact by about 5 million years, by the way....

It happened yesterday... Can you not tell... look around you, your not really here nor are we.... Best off really.

When you say catastrophic, do you mean in the sense of one with the potential to cause alot of damage, or one to actually destroy the human race

User45701

enough to severely damage and cripple a nation and or continent or if its a oceanic impact a tsunami of record breaking proportations

Mr Magnolia

thousands of years.

Relax lads we (the human race) have only been here for a blink of an eye in geological terms. We due a good few million years yet. Sure we could get hit by a massive comet or a worldwide pandemic or global warming might hit hard. But they'll probably only take out 80%-95% of us they rest will live on and rebuild society.
I say fcuk it and have fun cos any of the above could happen at any time so don't waste time eg. talking on the internet about when the world will end.

Yellowstone is 50 years overdue for an explosion..

Love your sig btw!

You are right i live each day with the intention of having fun with friends because life is uncertain. I feel sorry for all those who devote themselves to study and don't relay enjoy life when there young anything could happen

They could get hit by a bus randomly get killed or we could all be wiped out like we discuss here. In a way it would be kinda kool if we all found out today that in say 3 hours we will all be dead from asteroid impact

it would relay show all those people who don't have enough fun

Kinda makes all US endeavors totally useless.
It would be nice if that went off in a few years, the only bad thing would be the loss of some great TV shows and actors

The world will end when one person manages to read this thread title without rolling their eyes.

Oh yeah definately, lets all cross our fingers and hope the world ends tomorrow.
Bit of a stupid comment there Dan. If you don't like the world/life, you know you are always welcome to end it (your life) at any time.

Regarding when the world will actually come to an end, noone can be sure. One definate thing is that somewhere down the line the suns gases will run out and well no longer get its heat and light, and eventually everything on earth will die. However, by the time that comes I'm sure technology will have advanced to the point where the human race can survive.

Didn't the Prophet St. Malachy ?? (I think) predict that the world would come close to Armageddon in something like 2009 (not too far from the Mayans) He predicted that Benedict XVI would be pope and he was true their also.

His prediction was that a warlord from the East with his muslim army would capture all of Europe and enslave the European race and Nuke Rome, Europe would stay occupied until circa. 2040 when a great crusader from America would liberate it. It also said their would be a Pope Paul II in two popes time and that Benedict should die in about two years.

The Return of Jesus Christ would then be eminent. While this may sound completely raving, one must look at the current geo-political situation and realise that Iran poses a real threat to Europe if they got long range nuclear missiles. Dubya now has the power of a fart in a hurricane and St. Malachy's predictions sound pretty close to the current political climate anyways.

I nominate Borat as our New World Leader with Pamela Anderson as Queen

We could save them!! Invite them over for a wedding or a barmitzah or to laugh at the cast of Fairly Sh1tty or something.
God dammit I need to know how Lost ends. They'd better be in Hawaii when it goes off.

28 days... 6 hours... 42 minutes... 12 seconds... that is when the world will end.

I do think its possible for certain people to be able to see patterns and predict future events with amazing accuracy but i think thats due to a slightly different configuration in there brain and not religion or a god in any shape or form.

The world (at least our solar system) will end when the sun turns into a red giant (shortly before collapsing into a black hole), expanding so much that it will simply gobble up planet earth ...several billion years down the line.

Human civilisation as we know it will come to an abprupt end when ...a big enough astroid hits ....yellowstone explodes ...the earth tilts on its axis (again).

My world will end when my wife dies.

In fairness, he may have been right about a few things but I think theres enough military power in Europe, as well as having America as an ally to stop any Eastern country from taking over the whole of Europe. Or at least I hope there is!

Have you any links to this Malachy lunatic? All I can find is that he didn't predict anything about Pope John Paul, rather...

Of course Malachy didn't name the popes by name--otherwise we'd all be believers in his prophetic skills. He gave them descriptive names. John Paul II, the current pope, is number 110 and he was christened "De Labore Solis," from the labor of the sun. Those who have the gift of interpretation tell us that this is an accurate prophecy because John Paul II's father was a laborer and he has traveled around the earth (like the sun? well, remember, the prediction was pre-Copernicus). Some think the name refers to the fact that there was a total eclipse of the sun when JP II was born.

Nah, we don't get anything so fancy as a black hole Current theory is that it'll enter a red giant phase before finally being a boring white dwarf. It seems earth mightn't even be immolated - merely have all its atmosphere and water vaporised! Where's the drama in that?!

We'll all have left in an ark by that point anyway, only for Dodo Chaplet to threaten us all with a cold..

as long as its not a friday. That would put a downer on the weekend.

An asteroid a mile wide would cause quite a bit of devestation IMO. 5 to 10 miles and it'd be civilisation destroying.

Now, there are yokes out there heading this way that are 500 times + that size.
Kinda puts things in perspective. The only reason we are still here is because Jupiter is so big it tends to catch things that fly by.

Look at the Moon.
Look at Mars.
We're fooked :eek:
