World Will End July 29th. You Have been Warned.

I wonder how many times that has been predicted.  And failed?

I have a false vacuum.  The bag is probably filled.

Lol'ed.

there's a joke in the lexx community about the earth imploding because of humans trying to find the god particle. Very funny stuff none of it's serious of course.

Try hitting the del key 4 times.  There's a cookie.

Ah, thanks, I was wondering when the next End-Of-The-World event was going to happen.

Jeane Dixon claimed that Armageddon would take place in 2020 and Jesus will return to defeat the unholy Trinity of the Antichrist, Satan and the False prophet between 2020 and 2037. She had also previously predicted the world would end on February 4, 1962.

That's just the religious predictions, IIRC. The "end of the Mayan calendar"-type predictions may or may not count in that list depending on the religious support it gets.

Yeah, actually we have little idea what happens when the magnetic poles shift;  There are no extinction events associated with it.  Maybe migrating geese get confused. 

Or the dead arise from their graves, Bwa-Ha-Ha...

Oceanography 101 at Purdue, the prof. said we wouldn't notice anything personally about the shifts, it would take instruments to detect it. The Mid-Atlantic Ridge is a good mine for the study of the pole shifts, the magna tends to cool with the particles aligned to the magnet pole. IIRC they found that the shifts took a good long while (on human scales) to complete. There's been not found, so far anyway, in the fossil records to show that animals were at all discomfited by the shift.

But still a change had to happen.  At some point North was South.  Or was North East for a while.  I'll admit this is something I know too little about.

Depends.  If the poles reverse as part of going thru a low-field transition, then the Van Allen belts will collapse and we all get irradiated by the solar wind and hard UV rays ... if we aren't underground in the Elite bunker with Eva Braun.

Fortunately the physicists have been wrong about everything concerning the LHC ... both in terms of the Higgs and in terms of exotic events (like mini-black-holes).  The only mini-black-holes I know of, are people's lower orifice.  Don't worry, fusion energy and warp drives are just around the corner.
