i figure this is as good as place as any to talk about it:
dec 22, 2012, what does this mean to all of you, will the world end, we all become enlightened, nothing at all. Can we discount the myan's knowledge on the cosmo's and other things

I think it's funny that people say they knew so much about 'the cosmos' and they could predict the apocalypse and whatnot, but they couldn't predict the invasion of the Spaniards.

asteroid? I don't know really. Man has been on Earth for about 10 million years I think, and the asteroid suddenly wakes up and says he's gonna fuck up things right this instant?
I think every generation has a bit of hysteria, the thing of the sky is gonna fall and the apocalypse is not new, and will never grow old.

LMFAO!! :lol: i know right.

Although :lol: that could've been "the Apocalypse" the Spanerds in da works invaiding, but what good's a predicition if you can't get it right??

If you use the Empire State Building as a model of the lifespan of planet Earth, with each floor representing 44.8 million years, the entire span of recorded human history would be as thick as the coat of paint on the roof. And in the entire history of the planet, there have been more than one asteroids that have killed off a large percentage of the species on Earth.

So, I think, that you're wrong when you say it isn't possible. That's just another case of us humans thinking we're more significant than we are.

I know, my post was expressed in a very stupid way haha, but I never said it was not possible, in fact you made part of my point, we humans have been here for such a short span of time, I mean it's incredibly small that I found that in terms of possibilities (note on that), really hard that it will happen in the present time.
And because we've been here for such a short time is more difficult to predict such things it can happen 20 years from now or a thousand, or a million, but the thing it's that there's always a bit of hysteria in every generation.
You made a great point, we think we're so significant, that we believe it will happen in our time, when we'v emerely been here for a few seconds.

The thing is, there's been a handful of mass extinctions already, and the next one is sorta due.

Major extinction events

The classical "Big Five" mass extinctions identified by Raup and Sepkoski (1982) are widely agreed upon as some of the most significant: End Ordovician, Late Devonian, End Permian, End Triassic, and End Cretaceous.

These and a selection of other extinction events are outlined below. The articles about individual mass extinctions describe their effects in more detail and discuss theories about their causes.

1. 488 million years ago — a series of mass extinctions at the Cambrian-Ordovician transition (the Cambrian-Ordovician extinction events) eliminated many brachiopods and conodonts and severely reduced the number of trilobite species.
2. 444 million years ago — at the Ordovician-Silurian transition two Ordovician-Silurian extinction events occurred, and together these are ranked by many scientists as the second largest of the five major extinctions in Earth's history in terms of percentage of genera that went extinct.
3. 360 million years ago — near the Devonian-Carboniferous transition (the Late Devonian extinction) a prolonged series of extinctions led to the elimination of about 70% of all species. This was not a sudden event — the period of decline lasted perhaps as long as 20 million years, and there is evidence for a series of extinction pulses within this period.
4. 251 million years ago — at the Permian-Triassic transition Earth's worst mass extinction (the P/Tr or Permian-Triassic extinction event) killed 53% of marine families, 84% of marine genera, about 96% of all marine species and an estimated 70% of land species (including plants, insects, and vertebrate animals). The "Great Dying" had enormous evolutionary significance: on land it ended the dominance of the mammal-like reptiles and created the opportunity for archosaurs and then dinosaurs to become the dominant land vertebrates; in the seas the percentage of animals that were sessile dropped from 67% to 50%.
The whole of the late Permian was a difficult time for at least marine life - even before the "Great Dying", the diagram shows a late-Permian level of extinction large enough to qualify for inclusion in the "Big Five".
5. 200 million years ago — at the Triassic-Jurassic transition (the Triassic-Jurassic extinction event) about 20% of all marine families as well as most non-dinosaurian archosaurs, most therapsids, and the last of the large amphibians were eliminated.
6. 65 million years ago — at the Cretaceous-Paleogene transition (the K/T or Cretaceous-Tertiary extinction event) about 50% of all species became extinct. It has great significance for humans because it ended the reign of the dinosaurs and opened the way for mammals to become the dominant land vertebrates; and in the seas it reduced the percentage of sessile animals again, to about 33%. The K/T extinction was rather uneven — some groups of organisms became extinct, some suffered heavy losses and some appear to have got off relatively lightly.
7. Present day — the Holocene extinction event. A 1998 survey by the American Museum of Natural History found that 70% of biologists view the present era as part of a mass extinction event, possibly one of the fastest ever. Some, such as E. O. Wilson of Harvard University, predict that man's destruction of the biosphere could cause the extinction of one-half of all species in the next 100 years. Research and conservation efforts, such as the IUCN's annual "Red List" of threatened species, all point to an ongoing period of enhanced extinction, though some offer much lower rates and hence longer time scales before the onset of catastrophic damage. The extinction of many megafauna near the end of the most recent ice age is also sometimes considered a part of the Holocene extinction event.

The asteroid comes in 2036 or '37. Patience... :cigar:
