Creative contest. Most imaginitive wins. Takers???
What if an alien came down and zapped us?
What if we actually got swallowed up by our own galexies black hole?
What if God actually did come and pick us up?
What if a fireball fell from the sky?
What if whales came out of the ocean and ate us cause we ate all thier food?
I like funny, but most imaginative wins...
This is a good one. I need to put thought into this...Hmmm
That's easy. George Bush drops 300 Hydrogen bombs on Iran which starts a chain reaction around the world and ignites all of the nuclear bombs in United States, Russia, the United Kingdom, France and China -- as well as India, Pakistan and North Korea. The apocalypse!
The mass of the printed material warning against the coming Apocalypse finally exceeds the mass of everything else in the world, and collapses on itself, forming a Black Hole, which sucks everything in, then the pressure and friction causes the Apocalyptic literature to explode out the ass end of the Black Hole, creating the Big Bang.
thus, it starts again! Do you think we will get our legs stretched out until they get pulled off and our eyes balls pop out of heads. LOL.
glad your back Jenny, I was wondering were you were.
Okay, I’m a nut, here we go:
1. They say that the Earth travels around the Sun at a speed of about 18.5 miles/sec. It takes
365 days to revolve around the sun. On the other hand, the planet Mercury revolves around the sun approx. 4 times faster than the Earth. It revolves around the sun every 88 days, thus there’s only 88 days in a year on Mercury. If I lived on Mercury, I’d be ancient.
Okay follow me here: If we were able to dismiss the idea of global warming caused by humans, could we assume that weather patterns and seasonal temperatures were changing because of a change in Earth’s rotation?
Apocalypse Theory #1: Religious texts say that the world will never be destroyed by floods again. Instead we’ll spin out of control, wonder why our days seem shorter, praise Al Gore for all his good work (and thank him for the internetz!) and basically ignore the fact that we’re spinning out of control until we’re hurled into the sun like a wiffle ball.
OR.....
2. We find out that aliens built the pyramids in Egypt and we’re all a product of hot kinky alien sex experiment. Perhaps our founding fathers knew this, thus the depiction of Lady Justice (who resembles Ma’at the Egyptian goddess of justice), the pyramid on US currency, the eye above it (the eye of Horus?), the latin words: “Novus Ordo Seclorum” or “the Great Seal” (the great seal of what??) and the Celestial falcon of Ra (an eagle, minus the tomal tooth). Call them Masonic symbols or whatever you want…I’ll stick with “the great seal” of non-disclosed hot kinky alien sex secrets!
Apocalypse Theory #2: UFO’s carry recycled souls from Earth (yeah, you get a flying VW when you die, you didn‘t know?) and they check up on us from time to time. They make crop circles just to scare the living day lights out of us and resort to probing people that are alcohol dependent and have problems telling the truth. Perfect!
They thought about wiping us out when the fanny-pack was invented (to save us from embarrassment) but decided to wait for us to mess up big time. In 2020 pet rocks will become a fad all over again (but this time they’ll be pet rocks from Mars!). The rocks will contain deadly microorganisms and we’ll all get our flying VW’s after all!
Hot kinky alien sex experiments. I like! LOL. Your number one so far. Little did you know, I devised a plan to take over the world. muuuhhahhahah. How bout apocolyptic theory # 3. I need more, your too inspirational. I knew our fore fathers were strangers, I just had a feeling.
I'd love to take a stab at a third, but I just opened a cold beverage and I'm afraid of alien probes
What if it started to rain in space? Like the stars just start going nuts, like the Universe it'self just got knocked by something. But in space it rains fire, like water, so we get wiped out
by an intergalactic storm that causes all Hell to brake loose in Heaven. Everything starts gobblin up whatever is in it's path, and we start mimicing space on a micoscopic level, wich inadvertantly leaked into our brains. We finally wake up, realize the Earth is on fire, some force out there tosses the whole Earth around in space like a basket ball, playing intergalactic bowling, throwing everything into a pile, compiling us and everything in the universe, making the largest friggin fire you ever could think of.
Then nothing..*crickets* dead silent, no sound on Earth cause it's gone, no sound it space cause it is gone, everything that ever existed just got recycled into the cosmic non existance, and one day, we are right here one more time, but maybe it's the other side of something you couldn't even phathom existed and that becomes our reality.
do do do do do do do. (melody)
Earth gets demolished to make way for a hyperspace bypass.
Jenny (channelling Douglas Adams)
P.S. Mark must be asleep, or he would have said it first.
Douglas Adams! Haha!
Channelling a little celebrity of my own, I'm gonna go with a classic Eddie Izzard line and say the whole of civilization is just going to "slowly collapse, like a flan in a cupboard." haha.
I think it's going to be simpler than that, if Hilary Clinton gets in. She said today that if Iran launched an attack on Israel, the US would "obliterate them". So then Iran's allies would retaliate by launching a strike on the US, and the US would reply right back, and....bye bye world.
Did she really say that Marisa? I can't believe our world is so full of lunitics, not crazy hippi lunitics, but scary lunitics. OMG.
Hey! I kinda sorta resemble that remark in a way! JK. haha.
LOL
Mark was indeed asleep. Personally, I think the cockroaches are next in line to be the dominant species whichever way we end up obliterating ourselves. I would have never guessed it would be a woman that pushed the button though.
I think that by playing with the magnetic frequencies of our planet,that we may just lose our pull and be sent spinning into outerspace.
Extreme food shortages triggered by global warming, floods & drought...followed by pandemic drug resistant diseases. Slow and painful if you're experiencing it.....otherwise just a blink of God's eye.
what if the Earth stopped rotating and everthing that is not nailed down including the ocean waters and stuff, all floated up into the sky, and the sky became the sea, and lava shot straight up like a tornado, and lighting started coming out of the ground and when the vocanos emptie all of thier lava chamber we could see down into the middle of the Earth?
Yep Gravity. Earth is rotating pretty fast, and the force created by this rotation is subtracted from gravity. If Earth stops rotating, we all become way heavier
If the stop is swift though, it would be a major disaster, but not of the kind you are describing... Everything will be dragged by inertia along the Earth surface, including ocean waters - another major flood
And we are talking not about Earth rotating around Sun, this will be altogether different story
I thought the Earths rotation was the cause of gravity. Like a large centrifuge. Centrifigal force. I suppose I do see what you are saying, and it's a mind booger. Also like a centrifuge, that spins down and seprates blood from plasma. So really (???) zero gravity would flip the world upside down. I mean, flip everything in our atmosphere to swap. I thought inertia was the accelerated force that caused lift, opposite of gravity. Inertia wouldn't be possible without gravity, so I suppose I can see how we would get dragged flat to the ground in slow agonizing death. LOL.
So you are saying the massive drop in atmospheric pressure would flatten us like a pancake? eeewwww. And you said you would be least creative.
You rock Misha!
Thank you
Now I feel bad about telling you you did not grasp the concept, though
Gravity does not go anywhere, whether Earth is rotating or not. It just is. And depends only on the mass of Earth, mass of whatever is affected by Earth gravity, and the distance between them.
For you staying on the Earth surface gravity is constant, no matter what. Every atom of your body is pulled down to Earth. Ever.
Now, centrifugal force works in the opposite direction - it pulls your every atom away from Earth. Try to recall the inside of your washer after it finished its cycle - all the clothes are pressed towards outside wall, right?
So centrifugal force decreases gravity, and if it disappears because of stopped Earth rotation, gravity becomes much stronger. I don't know how much stronger, but it all can be calculated - I'm just lazy to find the formulas now cause it does not really add to the point.
Inertia is altogether different animal (physics out there, I know that centrifugal force is inertia, I just don't want to complicate the picture ). Inertia is the property of the matter to oppose changes in speed. It is the force you need to overcome when you accelerate or break. It is the force that kills people when cars crash.
Abrupt stop in Earth rotation is pretty much like car crash - everything that is not securely tied to Earth will try to continue it's movement along the surface of Earth, horizontally. The difference is the speed - in Earth case it's about 1000 mph on the equator... Now imagine ocean waters hitting Empire State building at 1000 mph... even at 500 mph...

I see, but when the washer stops, the clothes fall away from the sides. Of course this is by the g-force, but without it, what would the clothes do? Spread out, stretch, deform until it becomes a thin substance of something?
Like blowing smoke, watching it disapate until it becomes so thin it is unrecognizable?
I posted another thread in the science forum. Check it out, I am really interested in what you have to say, you set my mind a spin. lol.It's a hypathetical question, what would happen if gravity failed to exist in the Universe.
I believe the world will end when a group of red Ninjas, strategically placed around the world, break wind all at the exact same moment.
Definitely the scariest scenario so far. Haha.
How about this-- you know that buzzing sound you hear sometimes when wireless transmitting devices get too close together? Maybe wireless will expand to the point where everything is constantly buzzing and then the frequency will increase until everything just suddenly withers and dies away, lol.
So we become like worms and crawl on the belly?If we are sucked to the ground without the pull?
How about this:
We gradually are replaced part by part by computerized body parts and nanorobotic thingies until we no longer have any living tissue left in our bodies. The human race dies out because these computers do not really need us anyhoo.
that's like the machine replacing human intellegence. It could actually happen.
We feed the machine everything we know, pretty soon the adopt a moral and ethical understanding, are able to travel the distance in space, colonizing other plantes because they aren't confined to human vulnerabilities such as heat and air.
Look out Terminator, the rise of the machine is being fead by human intellegence, set to colonize and destroy everything in it's path.
The machines nemesis however, ends up being water. hahahaha. So if human intellegence isn't smart enough to conserve our natural resources, we ultimatly become undone by our own makings and exessive living.

According to Discovery.com, 1 in 4 Americans does not know that the Earth orbits the Sun. Does this say anything about America? Who are these people?

A friend of mine asked this question and I did not know the answer. He was reading a blog where the writer did not believe in heliocentrism--the widely accepted belief that the Earth orbits around the Sun instead of the other way around. He called this belief heretical. The person...

This actually applies to any religion's main deities but let's say good ol' Jesus very blatantly came to earth tomorrow and said (in every language at once) "Hey everybody, looks like the Christians were right and I'm real." Obviously this would cause worldwide hysteria and chaos...
