Yeah since I don't get out to much, maybe this is old news by now but I just saw it when I signed onto AOLHell. Apparently there is a one-kilometer-wide asteroid that will hit the earth in 2880 yeah we will all be dead so it won't affect us but it's interesting and covers some good topics

I don't know about you, but im not gonna be dead... getting frozen. heh by that time we will have the technology to destroy/divert it anyway.
If its that far off, we probably don't have precise measurements anyway. I think the only real thing we have to worry about is in 25 billion years: our sun's explosion.
Actually, what we really have to worry about is not an explosion, but rather that it will get to a stage where it becomes a bit cooler, but bigger. Bigger such that our nice little planet will be under the surface. It'll still be a star, albeit a cooler variety, and our earth will be plasma.Quote:

I think after that it settles down and burns dimly for quite some time.
actually i think a global flood will do it first. I've read an article that said that scientists have found that the artic glaciers are melting away at incredible rates. Now thats not really scary. What is scary is the fact that all the glacier's water isn't frozen, only a small percentage on the outside. The inside is unfrozen water. Think of the wall holding that water in as a dam holding back millions of tons of water. If that dam melts and breaks, were all going to have a pretty bad day.
I think the chances of a world-wide plague or an asteriod hitting the earth in the next 25 billion years is rather good. Chances are we'll be long wiped out or evolved into a new species before we have to worry about the sun.
What we really have to worrie about is nukes and self-destruction, thats how it is gonna end, all that is going to be left is cockroaches and a few survivors scouring the earth picking overly sized radiation enduced berrys and feeding on the flesh of the dead. You know.... Happy thoughts : )
2 astroids came pretty close to the earth this year, one in Jan. and one last month. nobody saw the one last month until it had passed earth because it came from the direction on the sun. All astroids are not in orbit, some are just traveling threw the galaxy. these travel much faster than the ones in orbit and if one came from behind the sun we'ed never know what hit us.
im hungry..
Anyone got n e food?
"Joel's Army of locusts comes through first and devours everything. The true outpouring comes AFTER this army of locusts. Please note also that the Bible prophesies that just before the end, God will send 'Elijah the prophet' to bring a powerful move of repentance."
Dont overlook the obvious...I think we will be offed by locust just as the bible says. Asian water beetle bots or wtf ever they are called. In madison they swarm into buildings and hibernate through the winter coming back even worse the next year. They are the scum of the earth! They bite and pinch!
I guess these screws up my plans to live forever. But then again 878 years is a long time to figure out how to stop an asteroid.
I've been to the future and there is nothing to worry about, but I am concerned about the next five years for many of us.
why do i believe you?
The world will be destroyed by fire. It has been written. Once by water, then by fire. Everyday with the escalating violence in the middle east, we are getting closer to 'meggido'. We see the hatred in our lives, we see the desparity in the acts of violence. We see kids being raised to hate the western world. To hate Jews, to hate Christians, or any other religion for that matter.
All these people want is to die a martyr. Thats the Palistenian dream. To die for their country.
The latest suicide bombings have been quite desturbing, seeing as how there was an incident with a young girl. These people live to die. Kids are blowing themsleves up. Israelis are killing their fathers and mothers on the very ground that Jesus walked. It sickens me. When we look at the world through this light, it seems closer than 2880. I see a nucular holocost happening in the years to come.
**** comets, ph34r man.
It's happened again! We've gone from chit chat to cosmos! aaaaahhhh!
Sorry...
Anywho, I hope that 2880 is measured in Common Era, 'cause if it goes by the Jewish Calendar, we're screwed.
Time for me to move...Oh well, this planet was fun and all, but.......
The end of the earth will happen when m$ gets split up in a fit of rage Bill will smash the glass on a cabinate marked only to be used in emergencies. It is the worlds most evil virus it takes anything that has ever been touched by the golden hand of gate$ and causes it to explode into a trillion pieces. The only way we can avoid this terror is for the whole world to migrate to linux and hope/pray that this isn't affected.
For he is the master and ruler of the world.
<evil laugh as used in horror movies> HAAAAA HAAAAAAAAAAA HAAAAAAA HAAAAAA HAAAAA </evil laugh as used in horror movies>
yeah b4 the astroid comes or the sun grown bigger... earth will be bombed by our own nuclear/chemical/biological weapons.... whatever wars.. then the water rise.... bla bla bla yeah... what a wonderful world??? ..... thanks god there are computers... ;).... peace man!.. peace!
