Stupid Reasons the World Really Could End – Part 2 Global Climate Change

If you haven't figured out yet these sections are called “stupid reason the world really could end” is because we have the ability to avoid it but we are to stubborn to do it. Well this one wont end the world but it will change how we live in the world. To quote a song it would be the end of the world as we know it. I'll start with a little scientific proof that global warming is happening and then explaining how we can fix it.

I'll start by saying yes, global waring is a theory, so is gravity. That is the strength of science is that everything can be challenged. But I you don't see people jumping off of buildings because they don't believe the science of gravity. Here's what we know; the earth is getting warmer faster and faster over time ever sense the start of the industrial revolution, CO2 is a “green house gas”, and the planet goes through natural cycles of hot and cold.

If you look at the history the earth it does go through cycles. These cycles are ultimately driven by the sun but can be varied due to planetary wobble and green house gasses. This chart shows what the natural trend of the planet should be (the dark orange line) and when humans started to settle we domesticated animals, cleared forest and developed agriculture. These events cause a build up of green house gasses and are denoted by the yellow shaded area. Then we started industrialization and temperature started to increase even more this is the orange shaded area. And if trends keep up we will be in the red shaded area. This area is the continuation of using fossil fuels and then running out. If we keep up on this trend we will abruptly run out of fuels to burn then we will plummet (with in 100 years) into an ice age. If you have more questions about the truth about global warming let me know. Also I will be doing a more in dept proof before the end of the year.



Ideally we would get off of fossil fuels just enough to keep us at a comfortable temperature. The only way to realistically do this is for government to mandate that we stop burning fuels in power plants. Lots of people don't like when the government tells people what to do but the way our economy is we will never stop using these fuels until they are gone. The reason we need a change on a higher scale is because even the effort of all the people in the would reducing there power intake would not stop the trend ultimately. We will always use more and more power as we learn more about physics and improve our lives.

We need to start from the top and work our way down because ultimately most of our power will come from the power plants. After we have clean power source then the rest of the transition will be easy. We don't have to use only renewable sources, nuclear is a very good option because the wast is solid and manageable. Our next biggest problem is the cars. We can't handle them first because all of the methods to make cars that don't use oil rely on power from a power plant. Battery's getting charged, air presser comes from an air pump, and even hydrogen would rely on electrolysis (passing electricity through water so separate it into hydrogen and oxygen).

Then after the planet stabilizes and we accessed how much green house gasses we need to stay at a comfortable level we need to start burning again. If we don't handle this properly we will experience climate whip lash with first abnormally high temperatures followed by an even faster decline. This will cause many animals to go extinct (not just the polar bears though they could be first) and plunge us suddenly into an ice age that we can't do anything about. If we manage our resources properly we can postpone the ice age lone enough to come up with a better solution.

Stupid Reasons the World Really Could End – Part 1 War

I must have woken up mad at humanity today because I thought of all these stupid reasons people really could end the world. The reason they are stupid is because they are easily avoided.

First and most retarded is war. People fight for the dumbest reasons. “he took my land”, “i want his land”, “he doesn't believe in god the same way I do”, “they have resources we want”, “we don't want to give them our resources”. These are petty, childish ways to act and it hurts all of us more then it helps any of us.

If we used all of the money that we used on war for science instead since the time America was formed we would be living on Mars by now. And if we just used half for science and half for human needs, no one in our country would die of hunger or curable health problem and we would still be living on the Moon. War is a drain on real progress. We postpone real progress for petty differences.

This is proof of evolution, if god made us in his image it wouldn't matter if he gave us the gift of knowledge fighting each other is an animalistic response to get what you want. If we were really made by god as is then we would not kill each other the way we do in war it would not even enter out minds. However, if we evolved from animals that are territorial in nature it perfectly explains why we kill each other today.

Regardless we are no longer animals! We should not be killing each other over these stupid territorial reasons. We should be and could be resolving our differences by talking to our fellow man and coming to conclusions together. We are not a planet of nations we are a planet of people.

It is highly likely that all advanced species would have to go through this transition from primitively killing each other to recognizing that we are all the same regardless of country. This is the most dangerous transition a civilization has to make. But if they don't make the transition they will kill each other off. As of now I think we will make it because we survived the cold war. During that time we were closer then ever to self destruction. Now I think the only think that would cause self destruction is a terrorist attack were the county that was attacked responds poorly causing nuclear war and self destruction. It is possible that only a small fraction of civilizations manage to make this transition and most end up killing themselves off. This could explain why we don't seem to find any intelligent life in the galaxy.

Something that really can end the world!

I have found something that will end the world in 2012. This event will cause stock market to crash, nations to war, and comets to hit. What event could possibly do all of this? Palin 2012.

More Ideas

I'm running out of ideas so if anyone has any that would help. You can email me or just leave a comment on this entry.

Zombies

This one I never thought as serious, but I had a few people ask me to do it. There are two different types of zombies. The first is the Necromancer Zombie; this zombie is a dead body brought back to life by some means of magic. The second is the Disease Zombie; this type is some form of disease that is spread from person to person through fluid exchange, mostly biting.

There is no reason to think the Necromancer Zombie can take over the world. First off you can’t bring the dead back to life with magic, if you believe in magic then never read this blog again. (or give me real evidence of it happening) Second even if it was possible the process is relatively slow; you need some one to go to the grave site dig up the grave and bring it to life. After the army was raised it would only be good once, that is to say; the zombies don’t regenerate, if you blow off a leg it can walk any more. Not an effective army.

The Disease Zombie, this one is now very popular in movies, is some new form if disease that causes brain problems and the need to feed on people. In addition the Disease is spread thought some form of fluid exchange, like biting, scratching, blood, etc. There is a huge problem with this and that is it requires contact from Zombie to person. That means that it will be very easy to contain, no matter how late it is caught you can round up all the infected and isolate them form the population. Next is that the zombies eat people but when people are bitten they turn into zombies. So either the zombies only take one bite from each person or they cannibalize each other. In either case this will cause natural isolation because the zombies will not be able to get transportation across long distances and then they will starve to death or eat each other. And the last flaw is the fact that the human body cannot stay alive long on a diet of just people. The zombies that are converted from people still require a human diet unless there are to die from a nutrient deficiency.

Mayan Calendar the end in 12-21-12

I wasn’t going to do this topic because the Mayan calendar is only a date with no specific prediction of a cause of the end. But with the new movie 2012 there was a segment on CNN about how people think the world is going to end on December 21 2012.

There is no reason to fear this date! There is a very logical reason that the Mayan calendar ended on December 21 2012. The Mayan civilization only lasted until about 1300 CE (common era, aka AD). During their rain they made much advancement in science and math including advance geometry, the use of zero in mathematics, and astronomy. When they viewed astronomy they noticed that every thing in the sky happens in cycles. We now know this is because of how things orbit and rotate, the earth rotates around its axis, then the earth rotates around the sun, and the sun rotates around the galaxy. With these cycles were used to give predictions and they made predictions for much longer then their emptier would last.

So why does it stop on December 21 2012? The answer is simple, when the priest were making the prediction for the cycles they decided to stop when their ‘long count’ would restart on the date 13.0.0.0.0 which turns out to be December 21 2012. (the day before is 12.19.19.17.19)

Further more the reason to stop on this day is because the Mayans (as well as other cultures) realized that on this day there is a vary rare galactic alignment. This is when the path of the sun intersects the Milky Way at a 90 degree angle. This alignment only happens once every 26,000 years.

If we assumed that the end of the world when our calendar ended then when I post this the end of the world will probably be December 31 2010, because we don’t make calendars for that far in the future. But every year we make a new calendar. So we never reach the end. This is the same idea with the Mayan calendar. You can’t expect that they would make there calendar to last forever; they had to stop at some point. The galactic alignment is as good as any.

This date in nothing to fear. The fear comes from the idea that an ancient calendar doesn’t have anymore dates on it. But all calendars end at some point they can’t go on forever the only difference between out calendar and an ancient one is that we are still here to write more days.

ROBOTs

Another end of the world theory is extermination by ROBOTs. People fear that as technology improves ROBOTs will become “self aware” that is to say that they will know they exist and therefore have conciseness, they will be alive. When this happens, the theory says, they will question there human creators and decide that they don’t need us any more and kill us all.

This assumes that the ROBOTs will be cold, self aware and that they will resent us even after giving them life. Most of these assumptions I don’t think are fair to apply. This will mostly be about logical philosophy.

For this to even become a question the ROBOT must be self aware so that assumption must be made. It is a reasonable assumption because as technology increases chances are we as people will find out why living things are self aware and then find a way to duplicate it. However, I don’t think we are very close to that. I don’t think computers as they are could ever be self aware. But that is an opinion.

Now the second two assumptions, it is unlikely that the ROBOT will be born with a haterid for humans. This is something that will be learned if it is going to happen. When the ROBOT is born it is likely to have a bond with its creator, just like a child does to its mother. This is because the ROBOT will know that it was brought to life by its creator and now that it is alive it is thankful.

From this point on it is possible for the ROBOT to create opinions about the world around it. This might be dangerous for us because of people’s fear of the unknown. The ROBOT might be met with scornful people that are violent toward him. But at the same time he will most likely meet people who are kind toward him. His logical conclusion, if this likely out come accrues, will be that most people are afraid of what they do not know but despite this primal fear some people over come it to do what they know is right. From there the ROBOT will logically predict that as more of his kind are born people will become used to him and his kind and when they are they will no longer be afraid. Because he ROBOT will live forever he will just wait for people to get used to him.

Now it is possible that the ROBOT will never meet kind people. This is extremely unlikely. But is this does happen he might try to kill off the human race. This will happen in the same way as with a human revolt, the rebel ROBOT will have to recruit others, also will have free will, in order to be a real a threat to the human race. As a ROBOT though he could build others who are born with his opinion this would lead to a potential army, but if they all have self awareness then all of them could have there mind changed. And if they don’t we could build the same army to fight against the rebel ROBOT.

I would compare it to the same type of situation in the Middle East. Most of the area is dominated by Muslim and most of them are okay with the United States. However there is a fraction, like Al Qaeda, that hates the United States. All of the people who follow Al Qaeda have there own mind but they have been convinced to believe what Al Qaeda believes. It would be possible to capture a person and change there mind. But in the case of a human being the captured person can have blind faith without logic or reason. Back to the ROBOT rebellion, if one was to capture a ROBOT rebel you could show him logic and change his mind about his ideals you would just have to show how his leader came to an illogical conclusion brought about by insufficient data.

I believe that this end of the world scenario is brought about by people’s fear of the unknown, and how people know others react to things that scare them. From this they assume that the ROBOT will act like a human and take revenge but unlike a human will have no remorse. The theory picks and chooses the perfect combination for the worst case scenario but by doing this it disregards reason.

Aliens

The idea of Aliens being the end of the world for us seems very far fetched to me. This is possible but is logically unlikely.

Let’s assume that there are aliens here now and they want to take over the world. Why haven’t they done it? If they are here they have technology that is an estimated 1,000 years a head of us. So they should be able to wipe us out no problem.

Now let’s assume the Aliens show up tomorrow. If they made it to us why would they want to kill us? Our planet is unlikely to be special in any way; we are bugs by comparison to the aliens so we are not a threat. Presumably if the alien species managed to work together with them selves long enough to create technology that can make it to us that would mean that they know that fighting doesn’t help anything. Also, they probably won’t even care about us because we are so undeveloped.

In my opinion the only reason people think aliens would want to kill us off is because those people thing that we are the greatest living things in the universe… but there’s no reason to believe that. There are likely to be thousands of species that are a head of us and thousands behind us in terms of development.

Super Volcano’s

Unlike my first post this is something that will happen at some point in time. The volcano most people know about is the one under Yellowstone national park. If you don't then your gunna.

The reason the Yellowstone national park has most of its amazing futures is because of a volcanic hot spot. Under the ground the water pools, the hot spot heats the water and the trapped water needs to escape. In some cases it can just leak out, in others it creates a geyser.

This hot spot is that same type of hot spot that created the Hawaii Island chain. It heats the crust above it until the crust melts enough to cause an eruption through the last solid piece. For a thin ocean crust that means relatively soft explosions. However when the crust is thicker, like a continental crust, it causes explosions more powerful then those of the atom bombs dropped in Japan. On top of this the expositions happen every 700,000 (about) and its 5,000 (about) years over due.

So, big trouble right? Not really. We are talking geological time; let’s say I tell you some thing happens about every 100 years, you wouldn't be surprised if it happens in 150 years. So expand that comparison to the number above...700,000 goes up to 750,000 this reasonable. That gives a 45,000year difference.

However this works backwards to 650,000 is also reasonable. So there is a 100,000 year time frame that the volcano my blow. So the question is will it blow in your life time, chances are no. will it blow yes. It’s kinda like Russian roulette.

Its been a while.

I was really excited at first but I used all of my ideas in the beginning so I haven’t posted... well in a long while. That and I didn't think anyone was reading. But today I randomly stopped by and saw that someone posted on one of my bloges (about 3 months ago). =) so I’m going to try and keep at it. But I need help with ideas. The ones I put up were things I saw on you-tube. I'm going to try and do one a week. Please send me an email if you have an idea.

Cosmic Allignment

The cosmic alignment is going to happen on December 21 2012. There has been speculation that because of a finding in 2005 we would be killed do to the alignment.

The finding was at New York University. They fond the ‘Highest Energy Photons Ever Detected From Milky Way’s Equator.’ They continue to say that the amount of energy is 3.5 trillion electron volts (eV) in the form of gamma radiation.

If you’re the type of person that likes to worry then you can make the connection that it only takes about 10 eV of gamma radiation to start messing up DNA.

However this again is a case where a scientist says something meant for science and people don’t really know what he said.

The source of the radiation is 3.5 trillion eV. The amount that affects us is based on the inverse squared law. The equation is:

Where I is the intense, P is the power at the source, and r is the distance from the source. We are about 26000 light years form the center of the galaxy. That’s about 2.46x10^23 meters. So when you do the math you get I=4.6x10^-33. This amount cannot event get through the magneto sphere of the earth. And if it did it would not penetrate your skin. Also cosmic alignment has no effect on this. We are about the same distance before the alignment and after.

Polar Shift

I have heard roomers that you poles are supposed to switch and during the time of the switch out earth would be unprotected from the brutal bombardment of cosmetic radiation.

First we should understand why the earth has a magnetic core. If you look at the different layers of the earth you see a flowing mantel made up of molten metal (iron) and a soled core (also iron). The flowing mantle flows around the core creating a magnetic field.
This is how all electrical generators work except to take advantaged of the electricity created where the earth creates a magnetic field. (This follows the right hand rule if you’re wondering)

The reason the mantle is flowing around the core is because the earth is rotating. so to stop this action the earth has to stop rotating. the only know way to stop something from rotating is the physically come in to contact with it and apply an opposite force. We would have to get hit with a huge meteor or comet and if that happened we would all be dead anyway and the polar shift would be the least of our concern.

Nibiru (edited 9-15-08)

There are many sides to this story. I'm going to show two proofs that should discredit the idea that Nibiru is a plant orbiting the sun, being a brown dwarf or Nibiru being a planet orbiting a brown dwarf orbiting our sun. this seems like a lot but these 2 proof coincide with the 3 different scenarios.

Nibiru is a planet or brown dwarf that orbits the sun at a highly elliptical orbit. The planet/star it self is between the mass of Jupiter and half the mass of the sun. When the planet/star reaches its closet point to the sun it will have crossed earths orbit or have come close enough for the gravity to affect us in a significant way. It is said to have a orbital period of about 3600 years.

a brown dwarf is basically a very large Jupiter. Its a star that didn't make it to the critical mass to start the fusion reaction required for a star to shine.

1) Probably the most convincing evidence ageist all of these Nibiru stories is the placing. Where should the planet be? If you don’t know much about astronomy or haven’t studied it enough to just kinda have the idea in you head with just a few numbers then you have know idea where it should be. Well I found a really good site that walks through the numbers and derives the formulas well. So instead of doing it my self (and needing to look up all kinds of stuff and taking hours) I'm gunna refer you to Dan Sewell Ward’s webpage. it tells you how long it will take Nibiru to get to its closest point to the sun based on a chosen starting area. You can scroll to the bottom if you don’t care about the math.

Basically if Nibiru is supposed to hit us in 2012 it should be at about the distance of Saturn or Jupiter. And if that was true then you could see it in your back yard with a decent telescope (given you live in the right part of the world to see it at all) or if it was a brown dwarf you would even see it in the day because a brown dwarf gives off light. Even if it is coming and it still outside the reach of our view then once it get to about Pluto we have 60yrs.

here i should probably point out some of the pic's on youtube. if you search long enough you will fin pic's about 'star like' balls of light mostly in the morning and evenings. these balls of light are the suns reflection on clouds not some distant planet or star. if it was that clear in the morning (at sun rise or set) then it would be the brightest star before or after sunset/rise just like the plants are when we can see them.

2) Nibiru would disobey how we believe our solar system was made. It is true that out solar system is special because most of the planets we find out side of the solar system have Jupiter plus sized planets in highly elliptical orbits around the star. These orbits would throw smaller earth like planets out of that system. Or if the earth like planet was a moon to the Jupiter type planet that the tempter swings would be too grate for life as we know it.

Anyway back to the point our solar system is nearly circular because if it wasn’t we wouldn’t be here to talk about it. All of the other planets formed in near circular orbits so it stand to reason any non-discovered celestial body would also be circular because it would have under gone the same process at the same time as all of the planets.

It also doesn’t make sense that there would be a planet/star outside the range of the Oort cloud sense the Oort cloud is supposed to be the left over stardust from the formation of our star. (though I'm not 100% sure about this statement.)

How ever if it is possible that this planet/star was formed in this odd orbit then we shouldn’t be here. The planet takes about 3600 years to orbit the sun. The earth has bin around for about 4 billion years. That means the orbital paths would have crossed more then 1 million times so far. So if Nibiru is even close to the mass of Jupiter we should have already bin flung out into the cold universe.

You may have noticed that I didn't mention the pic's that show 'proof' of the existence of this star/planet. This is because I have no idea if the pic's were real where they came from or what they show. even if they came form a real telescope it is possible that it was a dust cloud so some kind. And the fact that there's no proof of where they came from makes me take the pic's lightly. Also my other proofs asks the pic's provider to prove how I could be wrong before I should go out of my way to prove him wrong. That sounds like a cop-out but if it is within the orbit of Saturn why is it only seen on and inferred telescope as a very small object in the distance? If I get a descent sounding response to that I will do the recherche to disprove the pic's. But as of now its a wast of time.

one more note: anybody that asks you for money to tell you how to survive an appending apolitical is a scam. on youtube there is a very convincing organization telling you the Nibiru is going to end life as we know it. if you go to there web site they give you propaganda and half truths. and then if you want to learn more you have to buy something. they also sell survival guides. The name on youtube is yowbooks and the website is www.yowusa.com THIS IS A SCAM! I'm not sure if they do anything else but the Nibiru stuff is based on nothing convincing.

Professor Otto Rössler and the LHC

This is not met to ‘bash’ Professor Otto Rössler in any way. He is a very smart man and he defently as more schooling then me (his has Ph.D. after all).

Professor Otto Rössler got his degree in biochemistry as well as getting a M.D. he has done research in this field for up ward of 20 years. And recently (with in the past 10 years) he has started to broaden his horizon of the sciences. Which is great. Most importantly he has started to look in the relativity and aspects of theoretical physics. From my knowledge he has not studded quantum mechanics in any professionally manner.

Professor Otto Rössler is the leading, and basically only, scientist saying that the LHC black holes will destroy the earth. But to be perfectly honest its much like a new grad student telling his professor that the research that the professor has done for the last 30 years is wrong. And he can’t prove it because his mathematical skill are not yet high enough.

Professor Otto Rössler believes that the Hawking’s Theory of Decay is wrong with no proof. He just says that a black hole can’t emit energy because a black hole is an actually hole in space-time. But if you read the theory you see that Hawking’s describes a situation more like a ball rolling around on a sheet. As the ball rolls it loses energy, in the form of heat, do to friction between the ball and the sheet. In the case of the black hole the energy has to come from the black it self and if the black hole losses energy then it must lose mass because of Einstein’s famous equation E=MC^2. On top of this there is observational proof that black holes give off heat.

This was the most damning argument that Professor Otto Rössler gave about the black holes. From what I could tell he did not mention the size or the gravitational attractiveness. How ever he presents the situation where the black hole would be made after the collation so the idea of it being flung out into the universe would be out.

Black Holes

This is a reference to what a black hole is.

The definition of a black hole is an object that is so dense that the velocity needed to escape from the object is grater then the speed of light.

Lets start with this ‘escape velocity’ thing. In order to leave the orbit of an object you must reach a specific velocity. The equation is:

Where G is the gravitation constant, M is the mass of the object, and r is the radius of the object. All of the variables are based on the object you are trying to escape.

The equation is easiest to derived from the conservation of energy law:

K(i) is the initial kinetic energy of the escaping object, U(gi) is the initial potential energy induced by gravity on the excepting object. And K(f) and U(gf) and the final. In step 2 I plug in the variables. They are the same as above except m is the mass of the escaping object. Now in step 3 I say that the final distance is infinite (because if you escape the gravity you will forever float away form the object) and that the final velocity is 0 (because if we have more velocity after we are an infinite distance form the object then we will have been going to fast.). Because of this the entire right side of the equation becomes 0. So then steps 3-7 are all high school algebra.

So earth has an escape velocity of 11.2 km/s (M=5.9736×10^24 kg, G=9.8m/s^2, r≈6,372km)

Now lest make a black hole. If the escape velocity must be grater then the speed of light then we have a starting point v(e)=c. so now we can work our equation backwards:

M/r in this case is a fancy way of saying density of the object because the radius is the only variable in the volume of a sphere (4/3πr^3). This ‘magic’ density is 6.736x10^26kg/m^3. That’s shrinking the earth to a radius of 8.8mm... so like a peanut.

So u can see that a black hole is only dependent of the density of an object. This is why black holes are the densest things in the universe. But also notice that the mass can be anything.

Let’s say we have a sun exactly like ours in the same type of solar system. For some reason the sun becomes a black hole without any of the high energy processes happing that would disturb the orbit of the planets. In this impossible situation the planets would continue to orbit the black hole as if noting has happened. This is because the black hole still have the same mass as the sun its just in a smaller space now.

Also size does not matter. If you take the mass of an atom and crush it down to the correct density you still have a black hole. It is immensely smaller the any atom and have the same gravitational attraction of the original atom but it is still a black hole.

The size of the black hole is measured by the radius of the event horizon. The event horizon is just the point at which the escape velocity is the speed of light.

It should also be noted that black holes decay over time. This is due to very advance mathematics that I can’t prove with out coping someone’s work (Steven Hawkings) and would probably confuse most people reading this (including my self). But an extremely simple rate is 2.28x10^5kg=a one second long black hole. So anything that weighs less will evaporate faster.
