View Full Version : I was scared half to death last night.

I was watching Don't Forget the Lyrics on Fox last night, and a news-like thing came on my TV saying that an exploding star could destroy Earth. I was thinking "Holy shit, that's not good!".

It was a commercial. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_disapprove.gif

Actually, this galaxy's due to collide with another one in about 10,000 years or so, and assuming we survive that, the sun goes nova in about 10 billion. Doesn't matter to me, won't be around by then. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wacko.gif

I know! You can't take the Earth's destruction lightly.

Well, maybe you can in video games. The Earth can always respawn in video games. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wacko.gif

That's only if the Earth commits suicide. If an outside force destroys it, it won't get a suicide penalty and will respawn faster.

You know how long the collisions take? Those shits are so huge we won't even see what's happenin.
The Sun don't nova, it becomes a red giant then it get's two fusion shells then it dissipates.
If any Star in this area blew up, it's the Momma Star from which all matter in the solar system came from http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif

Surprisingly enough, Shin is right.
What wil collide with what when our galaxies hit? Nothing will hit nothing. A few planets here and there will get hit, but the chances of earth being hit are slim. Unless getting hit by nothingness hurts.
And our sun is too small to nova. It will become a red giant, then srhink to a sissy dwarf star. Of course i think earth does get owned by that. It swallows up Mercury, venus, earth, and mars.
By then we will all live on Uranus (lololol your anus. get it? LOLOLOLOL SO FUNNY) so it wont matter

You have the oppurtunity to end the world and destroy Earth and all humanity.

A) take the oppurtunity
B) laugh maniaclly and take the oppurtunity
C) rape, pillage, burn, and take the oppurtuniy

Surprisingly? Typecasting tis wrong.
I won't call a dwarf star sissy though they convert fusion so they still are huge (Comparatively so anyway)The "dwarf" the sun will become the white dwarf is not sissy either, it's a dead star core that is just radiating intense heat. The funny thing is it's made of pure compressed carbon aka a diamond. A diamond the size of Earth is one shit-load of money

There's the theory that the solar systems in a galaxy orbit supermassive black holes, a collision of those could be significant, also likely due to the gravitational pull each exerts, not to mention the gravitational interference between every body in the two galaxies, likely every planet in both'll get knocked out of its orbit.

You know blackholes have this neat trick where they are assumed to have huge reach but it's really only up to a certain point. you have to be in their very short radius to get pulled in.

Weeaboolits
Aug 31, 2007, 10:20 PM
keep in mind we're talking the attraction between TWO black holes, supermassive at that, they each have very high gravity, you'll have to factor in the fields of both of them.

ShinMaruku
Aug 31, 2007, 11:02 PM
There will be an effect yes, but the new Galaxy is so huge the effect will be minimal. Maybe the Earth will be at issue since we are close to the core but that's still a couple thousand light years.

Weeaboolits
Aug 31, 2007, 11:10 PM
well, double the mass, double the gravitational pull (well, distance is important too), also all of the planets and stars have mass too and'll be floatin' around all willy nilly, something's bound to happen.

The world won't end until some guy with classy glasses and a goatee pushes a shopping cart with a giant crystal mounted on it into the particle stream causing a resonance cascade which in turn causes the portal storms and then ends with the seven hour war. But then, you'll just wish the world had ended because your capability to procreate will have been stopped though the blocking of protein chains necessary for reproduction.

There is a galaxy that was formed by 3 colliding and nothing overly different happened just it makes this one look tiny. Plus it's ugly.
Won't happen here because the local group is funnily arranged.

I'm just saying with all that crap flyin' around, earth is bound to get hit by something, or have its orbit screwed up. Though the distance between stars is pretty massive.

History channel said acording to the code within the hebrew bible, we might get hit by a meteor in 2012, or we might be saved by the graces of I god. I say it's a bunch of BS and the supporters of the code are covering both bases so they are right either way.

Well

I'm sure we have a big laser to destroy that meteor http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif

Only problem

It will turn into a meteor shower if that meteor is that big lol

Forgot how big the meteor was that that ended the final peroid of the dinosaurs and went Ice age .http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif

The merger of Andromeda and the Milky Way isn't likely for another 4 billion years. That's just first contact, it'll take longer for them to completely merge

The Sun has about 4 billion years to live still. When it's core starts running out of fuel it will become unstable and form a Red Giant which will swallow up Mercury and Venus but not Earth. Of course Earth will become a molten ball of shit because if this. In time when it exhausts what fuel it has left it will collapse into a white dwarf.

The impact force of an asteroid only 300 feet wide is much much stronger than most nuclear weaponry. On April 13, 2029 the MN4 Asteroid from 2001 is expected to come back to Earth, and it will be in a path that puts it closer to the planet than our communication satellites. Seven years later in 2036 it will return again but this time with a chance of hitting the Earth, and the Asteroid is well over a mile wide I think. Some former Apollo astronaut is making plans to deflect it or something.

Space is fucking scary o.O

A Gamma Ray burst is the scary shit.
