The only way to stop Armageddon? Get a new calendar for Christmas (preferably the Official Keeley one )

Yeah exactly. Are people too stupid to realise the Mayan Calander goes in cycles, like ours but longer? It's not the world ending, it's the end of the cycle for this current mayan calander.

Basically, I came into the thread to post what StayingDead just did. It's just the resetting of their calendar, nothing special, nothing WORLD ENDINGLY strawberry floated or anything like that. :lol:

Yeah, that's what the Y2K wants us to think! When the world ends'a comin' I'm gonna be prepared for it. Damn you Y2K!

People give that bullshit too much credit. They haven't predicted a single thing that was accurate.

But I've just spent £500 million on an indestructible panic room made from Unobtainium so I can be the last person alive. Seems like a bit of a waste if the world doesn't end in 2012 and it's going to make the film makers a bunch of liars who I'm going to sue for false advertisement.

Infact, something else is there predictions didn't really help them did it. There civilization, oh what a great one that is. Oh wait no it isn't, the civilization crumbled even with all their Calander telling them when the world is going to end. :lol:

Could have saved yourself a lot of money and made it out of N64s and Gamecubes.

To be fair every civilisation crumbles eventually. The civilisation we are in right now may be a long running one but it will end at some point when either nature gives us all a good pasting or we blow ourselves back into the stone age over dwindling resources. I bet the Romans thought they were pretty kick arse at the height of Roman power but even they didn't stand the test of time.

Don't worry too much, dieing is still a part of life... the good thing is while dieing you might think 'Just let me die!' And if death is the end, then that'll be easy. So you most probably are heading to an easy thing from a hard thing.

True, but what scares me is if God doesn't exist; no Heaven or Hell, that means we can't even think and that's what gets me.

I was checking out videos on TED this morning and saw for the first time the damage caused to the LHC.

http://www.ted.com/talks/lang/eng/brian ... e_lhc.html

2:10s mark if anyone else hasn't seen it either.

Right, I'm don't know much about the LHC so please bear with me and help me out.

Its to recreate the big bang particles or something isn't it? The birth of the universe? It sounds a bit too far to be that so maybe I've heard it wrong as if we start firing out planets and all sorts it wont be good.

Generally I just don't know what its for.

Wikipedia wrote:The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is the world's largest and highest-energy particle accelerator, intended to collide opposing particle beams of either protons at an energy of 7 TeV per particle or lead nuclei at an energy of 574 TeV per nucleus. It is expected that it will address the most fundamental questions of physics, which seem to block further progress in understanding the deepest laws of nature. The LHC lies in a tunnel 27 kilometres (17 mi) in circumference, as much as 175 metres (570 ft) beneath the Franco-Swiss border near Geneva, Switzerland.

So basically...yeah....

This. We're building things that are going to crash into a brick wall one day, and we keep making ourselves bigger even though we're very sure it'll come. It's very odd to me.

It doesn't help that we've built a highly technological society where the vast majority of the populace hasn't a strawberry floating clue how to maintain said technology. :fp:
