Imagine, if you will, a ferris wheel mounted on a giant ring 4 or 5 billion miles in diameter. A marble is sitting in a seat on that wheel. That seat takes one year to complete 1 cycle. During that time, the center of the ferris wheel, the marble, and the center of that ring are aligned twice a...

Actually, yeah, noone knows when exactly the sun's life will end. They're making assumptions based on other stars. How they figure out that a red giant is something like 20 billion years old, I have no idea. It's not like they can carbon-date the stars. yeah, we can judge how fast a star is...

Both of you should go to page two and read post 63, it explains alot of why we cant tell you if your blue is our green. My next post after that (just look for my avatar :)) explains a bit more about perception. The world we see, hear, smell, taste, and feel, is all in our heads. It is our...

A rocket engine allows the space shuttle to travel at 8000 meters per second (28,800kph) to reach orbit and stay there. at the moons perigee (closest point to earth) its 363000 km away, and its apogee is 405,000 km away (furthest point from earth), at the furthest point, it would only take...

so 41? lol

so, so far noone thinks the world will end in 2012. well at least we're all good minded people but again, what of the general public. If they catch wind of this and think its true then the world will go into anarchy and we'll all be boned... on December 12, 2012. Why? because people put...

That is the georgian calendar I believe. While it would somewhat be equivalent to that, APPARENTLY (I havent looked into this too much, you know, not too concerned with this blasphemy) there is absolutely no recorded history before ~3000BC, or at the start of the current 'long run'. Now if you...

Ah, December 12, couldnt remember if it was the 22nd or the 12th. Good call. That would be really cool though if we met extraterrestrials at the center. We could learn so much (thats actually kind of a theory on what happened to atlantis, and explains some of the insane quality craftswork done...

There's a guy here named Harry Cox, definitely not a name I'd want as children tend to be extremely vulnerable to ridicule. However, if they learn to adapt quick enough, it could definitely entertaining. At work we have a name wall with names of people that came in for pickups we thought up...

I didnt know about any other major doomsday blasphemies other than the Y2K one. I figured this one would be worth posting as it's all over the discovery channel. The Crystal Skulls was one of em (supposedly could save the earth via some kind of magic or rediculously advanced technology)...

Mayan calendar ends on that day, and all sorts of doomsday theories spawned from it. It's just the end of a series of calendars that make up the "long run".

lol, basically what I said here: "The comet, as nostradamus calls "Nibiru" (IIRC) may or may not be the Planet X NASA discovered back in 2001 I think it was. If it is, GREAT! we will see a comet that hasnt been seen since around 3000BC! Will it hit us? probably not, if it does, oh well, it'll...

Some doomsayers are saying the world is going to end December 22, 2012. I, for one dont believe that, I dont believe there will be a revelation of any sort. I DO believe there is a comet headed our way, but I dont believe it will strike us or come anywhere near us for that matter. I believe this...

I love discussions that actually get me thinking, thats pretty much why I keep coming back to post. I love to answer questions, clarify, and make a debate, and the meaning of life is an eternal debate going on for centuries.

To the first question: we could be, how do we know cells dont see our bodies the way we see the universe? we could merely be quarks, the planets as neutrons, protons, etc., and the galaxies as atoms to a much, much larger being. We dont know, and truth be told we will never know. Because chances...
