The End of the World

Report This Post

The world as we know it is going to come to an end. This much is certain. The relevant questions are how and when. The current hypothesis is that Doomsday will occur no later than 2 billion years from now, when the sun expands, boils off the oceans, and turns our green planet into a small floating ash brick. But if we're far less lucky, the end may come as soon as August, when a black hole created by scientists in an underground tunnel across France and Switzerland, swallows, you, me, and all 6.6 billion souls on this fine earth in one big gulp. A guy named Walter F. Wagner from Hawaii contends that this is a real possibility, and has filed a federal lawsuit seeking a stop-work order on the Large Hadron Collider, a mammoth atom-smasher that a collective of about seven thousand physicists from eighty countries are about to fire up. The goal: to form briefly-lived new particles that will hopefully shed light on such notions as dark matter, string theory, gravity and ultimately, the origins of the universe. But the new supercollider, Wagner warns, will hurl atoms together with unprecedented energy, causing an "irreversible implosion" and "forming a miniature version of a gigantic black hole." Several holes, he says, may be created at once, and as they fuse, they'll swallow all matter in their vicinity, and soon, the entire earth.

Oh please, say the particle physicists who run the collider. They've already run the equations, and any microblack holes they might create would vanish in a nanosecond. Maybe so. But scientists have been known to be wrong. So I ask you this: What would you do differently if you knew the end was near? Quit your job? Ride a motorcycle cross-country? Be relieved the Democratic presidential campaign is finally over? Tell that woman you’ve been snubbing for the past year that she just might be the love of your life? Tell me…

I think I'd go sit near the Ocean and listen to the waves and just wait. Something tells me alot of folks would do the same. I'd smile with those who smile, weep with those who weep and give out lots of hugs.

i don't ever want to die. we were building a large diameter atom accelerator in texas. then the congress decided to kill the project after having spent a bunch of money (it all recycles through the economy). i like gene mapping and the experimenting with gene replacement. particle physics is interesting. i am trying to understand what gravity is. i think about gravity sometimes. i think about how space can be distorted by mass. i think about teaspoons of sugar and how densely sugar can be compressed. i had a dream about vehicles being powered by a light beam from satellite. i told my dream to some big shot at GE. he told me we'll be using fossil fuels for the next hundred years. i like doing voice exercises-- i sing "la-luh-la-luh-la-luh-luh-luh" when i am in the shower. i like meds that increase the level of dopamine. i like pastel colors of nail polish. i like swiss cheese. if i knew the end were coming for all of us on earth, i'd take a warm bath.

Well, Humans will be destroyed by climate change before a micro black hole does the job. But, if I knew the end was near I would do this:

If I knew the end was getting closer I would eat out every night at a different gourmet restaurant, I would tell all the people I love that I love them, I would feed my dog all his favorite food and take him on super long walks, I would try to make up with everyone I'm in a fight with over stupid things, and I would pamper myself silly every chance I got. I would also call my college boyfriend who really wanted to marry me (now he's married to someone else) and tell him that I regretted not marrying him later. He was a great guy and I really loved him I just thought I was too young to be married and needed to try out dating other people before I settled down. I realized later that sometimes when your young and stupid you meet the best ones of all. He was all heart and no sleaze. Now I'm meeting lots and lots of sleaze. I think its an LA and Vegas thing. Maybe I need to move.

I WOULD QUIT MY JOB SPEND ALL MY MONEY ON HORSES AND BEER AND STOP WORRYING ABOUT GETTING CANCER EVEN THOUGH PRACTICALLY EVERYBODY IN MY FAMILY DIED YOUNG FROM IT. THEN I'D MAKE A LIST OF MY TEN FAVORITE WOMEN IN THE WORLD AND I'D CALL EVERY ONE TILL SOMEONE WAS HOME AND WILLING TO COME TO MY HOUSE FOR SOME END-OF-THE-WORLD FUN WHICH HAS GOT TO BE GOOD. THEN I'D TURN ON THE TV TO WATCH YOU LEELILA WHO WILL BE TALKING AND GETTING ME THROUGH THOSE FINAL MOMENTS WITH THOSE BEAUTIFUL EYES. ON TV YOU LOOK LIKE A DOLL THAT CAN TALK.

FIRST, I WANT TO RESPOND TO janeypoostar...
AS MEN GET OLDER, WE TEND TO PUT THE SLEAZY PART OF OUR PERSONALITY UP FRONT AS A WAY TO PROTECT OUR HEART. NOW IT'S TIME FOR THE WOMAN TO PLAY "MOM" WITH THE BOYZ WHO "ACT" SLEAZY. I ACT SLEAZY ALL THE TIME. PEOPLE WHO DON'T KNOW ME THINK I'M FULL OF FILTH. BUT... ASK THE PEOPLE WHO TRULY KNOW ME. THEY'LL TELL YOU DIFFERENT.
MEN ARE AWARE OF HOW BAD A WOMAN CAN HURT THEM. IF WE MEET A WOMAN WE LIKE, AND IF SHE (FOR REASONS UNKNOWN TO US) DECIDES TO MOVE ON UNEXPECTEDLY, WE DON'T FEEL AS BAD BECAUSE WE CAN JUST BLAME IT ON OUR STUPID BEHAVIOR.
BUT, MEN ARE REALLY AFRAID TO SHOW WHAT'S REALLY GOING ON DEEP DOWN IN OUR HEARTS FOR FEAR OF BEING REJECTED "WITH" OUR HEARTS WIDE OPEN. I'D ADVISE YOU TO TAKE ANOTHER LOOK AT SOME OF THOSE GUYS "WHO YOU WERE FIRST ATTRACTED TO BUT DETERMINED THAT THEY WERE SLEAZE BALLS" AND TRY SOME "MOTHERING SKILLS". THIS IS A WAY FOR ALL WOMEN TO REACH THE REAL, SWEET, CARING, CONSIDERATE, TRUSTWORTHY PERSON THAT RESIDES IN "EVERY" MAN. IF YOU'D RATHER NOT CONSIDER ANY OF WHO YOU ALREADY KNOW (BUT I'D ADVISE YOU TO) THEN THINK AND ACT AS THOUGH YOU WERE A GUYS MOTHER (A SWEET MOM) AND WATCH THE GOOD SIDE OF HIM COME OUT. WHEN A MAN FALLS IN LOVE WITH A WOMAN, YOU'D BE SURPRISED AT HOW GREAT HE CAN BE!!! HE'LL RESEMBLE THE GUY YOU KNEW BACK IN COLLEGE. TRUSS ME!!!

NOW... RESPONDING TO Leelila_Strogov:

THE ONLY WAY THAT I CAN RESPOND IS BY SAYING... CLICK ON MY (WHERE MY PICTURE SHOULD BE) AND READ MY BLOG. YOU DON'T HAVE TO ACCEPT IT, BUT IF FOX EVER GET'S THE FAMOUS PSYCHIC MEDIUM ON THE AIR AGAIN, AND IF YOU'RE FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO GET A READING, THEN YOU'LL REALIZE THAT IT REALLY WOULDN'T MATTER WHAT HAPPENS IN THE FUTURE. THE IMPORTANT THING IS, EVERYONE WHO YOU LOVE, ADMIRE AND RESPECT WILL BE AVAILABLE TO YOU WHERE EVER AND WHEN EVER YOU'D WANT TO SEE THEM. CHECK OUT MY BLOG.

If you were to raise me and my theory of evolution above Darwin, what would result is that the world would become segmented and (from Ground Zero) we would have Ground One = Egypt, Ground Two = India, Ground Three = Greece, Ground Four = China and Asia, Ground Five = Russia and Europe, Ground Six = The Three Americas and Australia, Ground Seven = Israel and Africa.

Once this theory is understood, we would estimate that Ground Four will decrease in size and as time puts it into a minor stage and that Ground Five will be in a majority stage, however Ground Six will emerge with talents that no other peoples have yet witnessed and with that talent will come the responsibility to use it in directing the other brothers towards their future roles.

All of this would happen s l o w l y and not in one lifetime. As we ascend and leave the earth in approx. 16 million years, it is only written in the books that we will return to earth 3 more times, descending through the animals and ascending through the girasas. At the end of the 7th round earth will die, but more likely in the way that Venus is dying and now in her seventh round. Mercury is a dead planet, but Mars is in Pralaya or rest between her third and fourth rounds (right behind us) and as the planets advance the life on it transfers to a new laya center beginning with a 1st round (not very physical, more on the order of Neptune perhaps).

There is a whole story regarding the birth and death of stars and an old laya center would be somewhat of an artifact. We are told that the moon was the previous laya center of the e

I found the title of your blog misleading Leelila...I thought you were going to write about the possibility of Barack becoming our next President.

knowing me, i would react to this news in 3 different ways. depending on my mood, depends on how i will act.

1. i would try to steal a tank, and take it for a joy ride, destroying tons of public property, by smashing cars, running over people, and just shooting tall buildings with the canon. cuz c'mon it's gonna be alot of fun. like a real life video game. hell i would do that if i knew i was gonna die from a terminal diesease. cuz let's face it, i'm pissed off and the world owes me. lol. but if i'm going down, i'm taking everyone with me. if the tank is not possible, then just a bunch of guns, a sword, some body armor, and weld alot of thick metal on my car and just go on a shooting spree.

2. i would live in denial, and just live my life as i normally would. then moments before death, i would look up and say "aww BLEEP i wasted my life".

3. last thing i would do, and most likly what i would really do is just stop working, chill at home, and with friends. go to as many amusement parks as i could and hang out. plus jack a big screen tv, and a surround sound system that kick's as$ and just watch movies. plus stay up all night eating junk food, and partying. have alot of unprotected sex, smoke tons of weed, pay hookers to have tapioca pudding fights, and give people awful waffles (tie a person down, spread maple syrup on their belly, and slap the belly beat red) just cuz i can get away with it. plus i would look for people that i admire, and just say whats up just cuz why not?

I recall in elementary school my 6th grade science teacher stating (back in 1975) that in 1982, the five closest planets to the sun will align; causing massive earthquakes, tsunamis and various climate changes that will destroy mankind

Coincidentally, isn't that the year Rosie O'Donnel began her career?

Here we have the unintentional destruction, the intended destruction, the natural destruction, and the planned, agreed-to, and incipient destruction that just requires love and understanding.

If destruction is inherent in creation, we deserve to know the end as well as the beginning.

Leelila, a blackhole the size of a pin could conceivably engulf Earth with few issues. Blackholes have no real minimum, and the scientists at this point are speculating rather then having facts of their own. They do not know the outcome, but rather are speculating on it. Since nobody has ever spotted a whitehole, that remains only speculative theory as well. It is conceivably possible that such a blackhole created that would be 25 billion times hotter then the sun, might exist only a few seconds, but in that time period do the destruction necessary to remove Earth or half the solar system, or more. Remember that time in a blackhole does not work as it does here. Then there is the question of the event horizon and whether the blackhole has a rotation or not. I would think that just the superheat itself would be a great threat to the Earth, and you must remember that these scientist at Hadron have run their theories on laptops and other computers. There is a very good chance they could be wrong, and that even after shutting the collidor down, they may have created an unstoppable force of nature. In my opinion, we have many other scientific things to worry about then this nonsense, especially with the extreme dangers it may contain. The lawsuit to stop it is correct.

statueman -- i bet you're right that you'd find company there... there's something about the ocean, isn't there?

freezer -- there's always someone speculating about the end, isn't there? if anything, it gives one an excuse for an interesting mental exercise...

marv -- how densely sugar can be compressed, huh? i like that. it sounds like you've got a lot of activity going on in that brain. nice... a warm bath seems as good a way to go as any.

dmmickie -- murdoch sends his love back to you.

craftyguy -- this one made me laugh out loud.

janeypoostar -- may you find a man as decent as your college boy... end of the world or not. (and hopefully not!)

johtheman -- i like your attitude.

dimitrilw4 -- sleaze is what it is, and while it isn't the worst thing in the world, there are no terribly good excuses for it. in my opinion, you're either prone to it or you're not, and there isn't a whole lot anyone who likes or loves you can do other than accept it, or leave. lovers, wives and girlfriends don't really want to be mothers, either (at least not to anyone other than their children). we want to be lovers, wives and girlfriends. nurturing can be domestic and sensual without necessarily having to be maternal...

brendatucker -- if only we always got what we deserved... ;-)

ddain -- ha!

samo -- i appreciate this honest exploration. remind me to make sure all my loved ones are far away from you when you're close to your end... ;-)

howardm -- it may be people without enough to do who spend lots of time pondering the imminence of our destruction. i still haven't decided if there's a strong correlation there or not...

beepbeep -- sorry to hear about your truck and your guy. a friend is bound to be nearby... ;-)

sebar -- thanks for your thoughts... for better or worse, it'll be interesting to see if this lawsuit from one ordinary guy is enough to stop the momentum (not to mention the money) of so many great minds. we shall see.

1) I'd paint the black hole white, but first use a primer so I'd only have to use one coat!

2) Treat everyone to Taco Bell, then supervise a "BREAK-WIND-DANCING" contest in their parking lot....With a free Burrito Supreme to the winner!

Oh yeah, I just might paint the black hole a second coat of white!!

BIG BAD BOB

3) Quit the gym, my diet and raid Dunkin Donuts!

4) Pay somebody to finish my deck!!

5) But a brand new, fully loaded Hummer, one for every day of the week!

6) A Yacht, a penthouse on Central Park West, A Malibu beach house, a Ranch with faux cattle, 'cause I really don't like stepping in that stuff, great clothes and buy it all on the EXTENDED payment plan! (just in case...if ya know what I mean!)

7) No women...the wife would kill me, plus I had plenty of gorgeous, hot little groupies back in the days...

8) Re-raid Dunkin Donuts....Gimme a break I don't drink!

9) MOON ALL MY BAD NEIGHBORS!

10) Then I'd gp to Disneyland, stopping off at Dunkin Donuts on the way!!
