You realize half of that channel is devoted to Doomsday scares right?

Hey beautiful people, you're better off trying to e-mail me than message me on here.

...you know, a part of me really does not want that to happen. Another part of me really does want that to happen.

All hail the Supreme Comrade Cossack!

Well, compared to most forms of death, that prolly isn't too bad.

But I thought we were going to die when the really big asteroid hits. Or when someone decides to launch nukes. Or by the off-chance that Hilary Clinton becomes President.

That's what everyone says, anyways.

I myself am sorta hoping for the death by old age, gradually losing control of all body functions, and slowing forgetting everything, including my loved ones, and how to find the front door.

...Please forgive my overly sarcastic tone, I was just woken up, and am probably a tad grumpy.

Same with me just becouse with the Gamma rays would turn me in to the Hulk.*You should have seen that a mile away*Maybe we could have the mythBusters do this.Anyway what was this show called I'd enjoy watching this.

PLUS 100 lightyears is the GUARUNTEED FULL SCALL DEATH range 500 lightyears could still cook us all. NOTHING stops gamma rays but magnetic fields. IT PERMEATES LEAD. PLUS the Beetlejuice star near our system puts off rays powerful to cook us on a regular basis. The only thing is that its lopsided core field projects any rays in another direction.

Should it explode for one reason or another, it could potentially blast us with radiation as well as debris.

Any star, mid class or above, could at any time due to certain variables of instability, become a giant flashlight of death. Now, the chances of it exploding and releasing that beam of focused energy directly at us is low, but have you ever watched the sky at night, in a spot where you couldn't see a star, all of a sudden you see what looks like a bright star flash and then click off? That's what that is. There are an estimated visible 3 of them per night. That's over a thousand per year.

NOT going to happen in our lifetime? LIKELY. But far from impossible. It has to happen in SOMEONE'S lifetime, right?

Not if it isn't what destroys the Earth. I mean, there's about a million ways that the Earth can go ka-plooie. So it's not as if we have to deal with all of them, we just have to worry about the one who does it, the "Butler" of the Apocalypse if you will.

Last I heard, Earth had a magnetic field. Along with the ozone layer, it's the only reason there's life here anyway.

What's more likely to happen is the ozone layer dissappearing due to pollution before your end of the world happens.

this is but one of the theories on how the earth will end

i still think we will be swallowed by the sun, like Mercury and Venus, someday.

oh and about the Gamma Rays, NewWindRider

a huge ammount of gamma rays is needed to go through a solid 10 feet thick lead walls AND still kill a person.

should each Gamma Photon has 10 MeV (mega electon volts) of energy, then 1,23 centimeters of solid lead is enough to stop half of the photons, 2.46 only lets through 1/4, 3,69 lets through 1/8, and so on

they will propably have much more energy, and an ever bigger amount of photons, so we might end up with 3 cm or more to half the ammount of photons, but still.
