2029 - The End?

[Art]

Friday the 13th of April 2029 could be a very unlucky day for planet Earth. At 4:36 am Greenwich Mean Time, a 25-million-ton, 820-ft.-wide asteroid called 99942 Apophis will slice across the orbit of the moon and barrel toward Earth at more than 28,000 mph. The huge pockmarked rock, two-thirds the size of Devils Tower in Wyoming, will pack the energy of 65,000 Hiroshima bombs -- enough to wipe out a small country or kick up an 800-ft. tsunami.

And It happens to be Friday the 13th...Yeah. Another theory coming out of nowhere.

[Ekalb]

Just by using google you could come up with hundreds, thousands of death threats/theorys like this.
And it only says it's powerful enough to wipe out a small country or cause a big tsunami, it won't be "The End"
That's if it does happen.

It will be the end... of one country.

[Yggdrasill]

0w, I just read this before.. :(:(:(

[benjamin]

It will be the end... of one country.
yeah, not the end of the world. litterally.

[cocaine]

another piece of bullcrap.. THE END WITH BE AT 06/06/06, and now the earth will end on friday the 13th..


Scientists are 99.7 percent certain it will pass at a distance of 18,800 to 20,800 miles.

There you go :rolleyes:

[omgDAN!]

what country?

i'll just go on holiday :rolleyes:

[cocaine]

30 mile long asteroid hitting the eastern ends of russia and pacific ocean.


so no need to.

[summer]

all of this stuff is crap in my opinion.

[blah blah blah]

Good thing i live in australia..
i think...:P

[benjamin]

Good thing i live in australia..
i think...:P
it's propbably not true, and if it was scientists said there is 99.7% chance it'll pass.

[blah blah blah]

I rekn the world will end by everyone do what their doing now. polluting the earth and stuff... :\

[Intellect]

I think we neednt worry. If anyone's betting on the collision with the 45,000 to 1 odds then they are nothing but a moron.

Also, this would just display a few size re-encounters of the Tzar Bomb. I'm not saying if by the unbeleivably small chance it hit it wouldnt do any damage... it would. But I think this is just another media hype to make us beleive that its alot stronger than it actually is.

[blah blah blah]

What a nice way of putting it.

[Roboevil]

what country?

i'll just go on holiday :rolleyes:

Yeah, I will be warm and cosy, lying on the beach in Hawaii, whilst you're all screaming and drowning. Suckers.

[:Hazel]

I'll cross that bridge when it comes to it ;)

[Roboevil]

Wait a second, the Aztec apocalypse comes before that, we won't live to see the meteor anyway.

[lSander]

Thats old, for me, sorry.
And I don't belive in these things, and I don't care, if it happens it happens.

[---MAD---]

Too many made up things like that. Its funny how they try to use things like friday the 13th to try and make it more realistic :).

[Fonejacker]

Oh it will proberly land on the germans... Like we care :L

[---MAD---]

Oh it will proberly land on the germans... Like we care :L
Thats not very nice :o.

[Dazzle]

ugh not another one of these threads "were all gonna die - hide in your wardrobes!!!!" it's very unlikely if it was to happen on friday the 13th like the 6-6-06 thingy load of crap -.- anyway it can't happen 6 days before my birthday :(

[ebay]

another load of rubbish going round me thinks

[splatttt]

Its crap
everyone always says bad things happen on fridy the 13th...
But nothing bad has ever happened to me..
Touch wood

[Ramones]

damn, i better start preparing

[DCeption]

ugh not another one of these threads "were all gonna die - hide in your wardrobes!!!!" it's very unlikely if it was to happen on friday the 13th like the 6-6-06 thingy load of crap -.- anyway it can't happen 6 days before my birthday :(

That wouldnt do much :P

Hmm and yeah i dont believe it, maybe if it wasnt friday the 13th it woule be more believable, also it has got a number of years to get here and it would most probably go of course, like most meteros do.

Loads of meteros were have ment to hit the earth by now.

;o and i hope it hits france if it real >;] No offence to french people

[PigsNose]

Uhh.. thanks but I could be living there then.
But it is probably a lie. People make stuff up like this, it's sad really...

[gosling]

will pack the energy of 65,000 Hiroshima bombs -- enough to wipe out a small country or kick up an 800-ft. tsunami.Surely the power of 65,000 A-bombs, similar to those dropped on Hiroshima would do more damage than just wipe out a small country? Just another load of bull from the rumour mill :rolleyes: And the fact that it'll just so happen to occur on Friday 13th? Laughable, really...

Actaully the "end" for most of the human race will be in about 100 years (roughly) when the poles (North and South) are switching and the magnetic field stops for years and all the suns ray and radition fry us all. Our Sceince teacher told us.

lmao, kk then.

[Neversoft]

fake, mod close plz.


Thats not very nice :o.

LOL, Nazi!

I believe that the sun won't fry us until it turns into a Red Giant and expands in mass. Which is aparrently billions of years away.

As Earth's Sun has a mass of one solar mass, it is expected to become a red giant in about five billion years. It will become sufficiently large to engulf the current orbits of some of the solar system's inner planets, including Earth's.

But...

Earth will however become uninhabitable, even while the Sun is still on the main sequence, due to a runaway greenhouse effect caused by its gradual increase in luminosity.

Awsome.... lol yeah like loads have said it all sounds a little far fetched

[FrozenWhisper]

Awsome.... lol yeah like loads have said it all sounds a little far fetched

Tis true, every 15,000 years or something like that the two pole switch and when there inbetween the magnetic field that protects us (not the ozone layer but similar) stops working and MOST living things fry in Radation. I is smart k :)

well according to this it is going to be way longer than 100 years


The Earth's magnetic field may flip towards the end of the next millennium according to Danish geophysicists, exposing the Earth to harmful cosmic radiation in the process. In the past century, the magnetic north pole has moved over 1000 km towards the geographical north pole, and over the past decade the strength of the magnetic field has fallen by 1%. New measurements made in Greenland by the Danish Meteorological Institute (DMI) show that the magnetic north pole is moving northwards at 20 km a year - 2 km a year faster than 12 months ago.


"This is certainly the quickest movement since we started measurements in Greenland in 1928, " says Torsten Neubert, who heads DMI's Solar-Terrestrial Physics Department. Neubert thinks that this acceleration points to a switching of the magnetic poles, perhaps within the next thousand years, something that could have dire consequences. "In the period up to a reversal, the Earth's magnetic field would lose its strength and would no longer be able to protect the Earth from radiation coming from space - we could be exposed to violent cosmic radiation, " says Neubert. Such radiation would affect navigation as well as the production of semiconductors.

However, not all geophysicists are convinced. "I wouldn't say that the northward movement of the magnetic pole is a sign that the field is about to reverse, " says a sceptical Jeremy Bloxham, an Earth and planetary scientist at Harvard University in the US. He thinks that the pole would have to be travelling towards the equator in order to flip. Neubert admits that the case for a switch in the magnetic field is unproven and says that the field is a chaotic system and therefore difficult to predict.

The new Danish Ørsted satellite may make prediction a little easier by looking at the whole of the Earth's magnetic field, rather than just the poles. Due to be launched in the coming weeks, it should give researchers more accurate data on the orientation and strength of the field. Bloxham, however, believes that more accurate data will not point to a reversal. "I think the chances are that it will not happen, " he says. "It's a highly erratic process - there have been intervals of tens of millions of years without reversals." But Neubert is looking forward to a reversal. "It would be an exciting time, " he says.

Tbh, I wasn't sure how long it was, like I said my science teacher said 100 years but that might be long, and also, it's happened before and humans turned to living underground and in caves to survire (sp?) so I suppose it probaly wont kill us all.

[DiscoPat]

we are gonna get pwned

[Filipe]

The world isnt going to end by some 30 Mile Burning Rock hitting the ground .. The world will destroy itself.. like people who cant get off there backsides and actually do something about global warming, i mean its taken george bush to realise global warming is destroying the planet, the planet will ever be sunk and just a big ocean or the planet will just instantly blow upp.
i save electricity, and gas .. we hardly have our lights on .. only our gas if were drying clothes or during winter. ;] So yeah anyways dont have a go at Flipton .. he read it off somewhere blame the liers who created this "world ending story" OMG THE WORLD IS GOING TO END RUNN. .. as ive said the world will destroy itself. tyvm

They figured out the EXACT time it will hit? Suuuuuuuuuure

[ScouseOrient]

What do you also get if you add 2+0+2+9 Guess what.....

THIRTEEN!

ALSO IF YOU ADD 4.36 You get 13.

I may have cracked this?

[Caution]

I don't agree with it, theres so many theories.

[roflZAC]

OH F**K BETTER GET HIT BY A CAR BEFORE THEN AND IM SERIOUS

[uh huh her]

can't wait!!

[sl4rt is banned]

Hate stuff like this :p my mind is saying yep its all true but im like nowai cant be like someone said how would they know EXCATLY :P

[Slush04]

CRAP CRAP CRAP, we have thousands of years before the world ends.

[YoManGo!]

Guess I'll make sure I'm out that day.

[Kymux]

yay lol.

My science teahcers african doesnt mean we're all going to start talking Zulu and working for Transport for London....

[cocaine]

i should stand on top of a mountain with a guitar and start playing a rock solo, with the meteroid crashing down behind me and intensly burning (in slow motion of course).

i have it all planed :8

[^.^]

all of this stuff is crap in my opinion.
agreed scientists are always trying to scare us -.-

[luke-p]

Utter ********, Anyway worring about something isn't going to stop it from happening so whats the point.

[^.^]

doing something will though...

[hobo]

aahahhaa.
what total crap.

[Janeisntpleased]

according to threads on here, we were supposed to get hit by meteors about 50 times last year.
im still alive.

[Jamie!]

What a load of drivel..

[^.^]

according to alot of bbc news reports we would be dead by global warming by now lol

[Lubricant]

This is something that The Sun would publish - Utter crap.

[louder]

Its crap
everyone always says bad things happen on fridy the 13th...
But nothing bad has ever happened to me..
Touch wood

wth does touch wood mean?

[cocaine]

wth does touch wood mean?

its like a good luck thing.

Just 3 days after my birthday :(

[Judge Judy]

oh

cant wait

[Robzor]

lol , if its true
i would just go to another place

[Stephen]

If it is true ill just hide in my wardrobe and hope that narnia is waiting for me :( Also ill bring my dog but leave my sister to be destroyed :D

[Gwii]

And It happens to be Friday the 13th...Yeah. Another theory coming out of nowhere.

Ditto. :rolleyes:

[Crono]

I don't believe it. I'm so sick of hearing these stories even though they scare me.

[irresistible]

i'll think about it more when the time comes!

[Blinger1]

hopefully its a poverty country..

[Stephen]

If it was true i think it would hit usa

[louder]

hopefully its a poverty country..

-rep tbh.
thats right out of order,
nobody deserves to die, whether they're in poverty or not.

[stratosphere]

;o and i hope it hits france if it real >;] No offence to french people

Pourquoi espérez-vous qu'il atterrit sur la France de toute façon??!?!

Rough Translation : Why do you hope it lands on France anyway?


And tbh, when our day comes it comes.

[Blinger1]

-rep tbh.
thats right out of order,
nobody deserves to die, whether they're in poverty or not.
why should people starve to death? wouldn't it be better to be bombed out then starve to death?
