rumor has it it's bush's fault....
PLANET-DISSOLVING DUST CLOUD IS HEADED TOWARD EARTH! Monday September 12, 2005 By MIKE FOSTER CAMBRIDGE, Mass. -- Scared-stiff astronomers have detected a mysterious mass they've dubbed a "chaos cloud" that dissolves everything in its path, including comets, asteroids, planets and entire stars -- and it's headed directly toward Earth! Discovered April 6 by NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory, the swirling, 10 million-mile- wide cosmic dust cloud has been likened to an "acid nebula" and is hurtling toward us at close to the speed of light -- making its estimated time of arrival 9:15 a.m. EDT on June 1, 2014. "The good news is that this finding confirms several cutting- edge ideas in theoretical physics," announced Dr. Albert Sherwinski, a Cambridge based astrophysicist with close ties to NASA. "The bad news is that the total annihilation of our solar system is imminent." Experts believe the chaos cloud is composed of particles spawned near the event horizon of a black hole (a form of what's called Hawking Radiation) that have been distorted by mangled information spewed from the hole. "A super-massive black hole lies about 28,000 light-years from Earth at the center of our galaxy," explained Dr. Sherwinski. "Last year the eminent physicist Stephen Hawking revised his theory of black holes -- which previously held that nothing could escape the hole's powerful gravitational field. He demonstrated that information about objects that have been sucked in can be emitted in mangled form. "It now appears that mangled information can distort matter. "Just imagine our galaxy the Milky Way as a beautiful, handwritten letter. "Now imagine pouring a glass of water on the paper and watching the words dissolve as the stain spreads. That's what the chaos cloud does to every star or planet it encounters." To avoid widespread panic, NASA has declined to make the alarming discovery public. But Dr. Sherwinski's contacts at the agency's Chandra X-ray Observatory leaked to him striking images of the newly discovered chaos cloud obliterating a large asteroid. "It's like watching a helpless hog being dissolved in a vat of acid," one NASA scientist told Dr. Sherwinski. Ordinarily, Hawkings Radiation is harmless. "It's produced when an electron- positron pair are at the event horizon of a black hole," Dr. Sherwinski explained. "The intense curvature of space-time of the hole can cause the positron to fall in, while the electron escapes." But when "infected" by mangled information from the black hole, the particles become a chaos cloud, which in turn mangles everything it touches. "If it continues unchecked, the chaos cloud will eventually reduce our galaxy to the state of absolute chaos that existed before the birth of the universe," the astrophysicist warned. Some scientists say mankind's best hope would be to build a "space ark" and hightail it to the Andromeda Galaxy, 2.1 million light-years away. "We wouldn't be able to save the entire human population, but perhaps the best and the brightest," observed British rocket scientist Dr. David Hall, when asked about the feasibility of such a project. But even if such a craft could be built in time, evacuating Earth might prove fruitless if theories about the origin of the chaos cloud are correct. "A black hole at the center of Andromeda is about 15 times the size of the one in our own galaxy," Dr. Sherwinski noted. "It might be like jumping out of the frying pan into the fire." Speaking under the condition of anonymity, a senior White House official said the president's top science advisors are taking the findings in stride. "This is a lot like global warming, where the jury is still out on whether it's real or not," said the official. "The existence of this so called chaos cloud is only a theory. Americans shouldn't panic until all the facts are in." |

Well, I think this is pretty dead-on. I mean, you see how our world is still crippled from the effects of Y2K.

That's really that Nexus ribbon thingy from Star Trek Generations.
|
|
dammit i can't even troll anymore. |
|

Outside of the obvious, one other refutation is that relatively small objects like asteroids are pretty damn hard to see getting dissolved 9+ light-years away. ETA: Especially when the light from that event would reach us only shortly before the "near the speed of light" doomsday nebula hit us. That, and any article posted without a link is immediately discarded as bullshit. |

We better buy all the guns we can now and just start charging everything up and enjoy it while we can!!!

What is the best round to defend yourself from a PLANET-DISSOLVING DUST CLOUD ?
|
|
LoL - Im a bit confused how a cloud of dust will kill all of us ?
I guess we will just have to go to war with it - The american way - NUKE IT!!!!!! |
|
what if we all aimed out rifle striaght up and pulled the triggers at the exact same time. the recoil impulse should change the earths orbit enough to clear the cloud
|
|
its the reason bush is letting all the aliens in across the border
its the reason he will spend boo-coo bucks to rebuild nawlins.. he has known about it for a while and so little things like all of mexico moving to texas no longer matters. and trainin the troops up in iraq is good training for the force that will impose some disciplline in the US in the last days.. |
|
It doesn't matter. As everybody should know by now,(you DO know don't you???)the Mayan calendar ends on 12/21/2012,so we won't be here anyway. I'm gonna max out the cards,tell the boss to KMA,and party like its 2012!

june 1 2014 earth will cease to exist.......
NEW YORK TIMES HEADLINE...WOMEN AND MINORITIES HARDEST HIT ! //Old Rush joke. |
|
Better start now or all the good stuff will be gone. |
|
|
It's only ten million miles across, but it's going to destroy our entire solar system, huh?
|
|
Well,
I am going to start smoking and stop running. Whats really bullshit is I will be 2 weeks from retirement. |
|
Experts believe the chaos cloud is composed of particles spawned near the event horizon of a black hole (a form of what's called
Fixed it for you. |
|
10 million miles across huh? Last time I checked the Solar System is over 6 BILLION miles across.
|
|
Halliburton sure is good with R&D.
Now Karl Rove has their uber Hurricane-tsunami-earthquake-chaos cloud machine! We are all doomed! It is all Bush's fault, DU was right all along! |
|
The year 2014 sounds familiar, was'nt that the same year on the X-Files series finale that Mulder found out the alien invasion would happen?
|
|
I'm confused; will this dust cloud arrive before or after Planet X causes the pole shift?
|
|
Oh now I remember.
According to Titor, we'll be in a civil war around that time, so who cares about a cloud? |
|
I just made a cloud, its only about 2 feet across and I am still here.
|
|
that is on a very small scale. i bet there is a hole in your underwear. WE ARE DOOOOOOOOOOOOMED |
|
|
...which proves that the Democrats are doomed. |
|
|
yeah beer that's what happens when you read weekly world news. get over yourself....... |
