2012 Conspiracies..

Wishmaster,

I started to reply to a post of your's that was made after the last one now in this thread, I don't know if you deleted it, or someone else did, so I won't include it in this. However, I remember seeing an episode of Nova recently, that spoke of NEOs (Near Earth Objects), which are comets, asteriods, etc., which pass near the Earth, some of which could collide with it. It spoke of one in particular, that was supposed to pass in ~2025...I think, nearer than anything like it before, but was to miss. However, depending on how it passed in relationship to something called a "keyhole", it might return a few years later, perhaps 2029, and hit.

For reasons of my own, I doubt that this will occur, but they also spoke of the fact that there is a high probability of other NEOs out there, on a collision course with Earth, that could go undetected until the very last moments. So, science and governments could not necessarily offer any protection.

EDIT: Looking again, the post wasn't deleted, but heavily edited, so I shall assume that you did so yourself.

Yes, edited. Sorry.
I do think that even if governments of the world know right now that Dec. 2012 was all true, and some major event was going to happen, they would not tell the masses.
And if you think about it, it would cause utter chaos.

Since there would be nothing no one could do about it anyway, Im not entirely sure thats a wrong move.
Although, I think I would want to know regardless :)

I guess what Im getting at is ..

Lets just say there was a announcement tonight that said there was going to be a xXx size object come near earth.
It would be classified as a ELE (extinction level event) and there was nothing they could possibly do to stop it.
They say it will happen in 5-6month time, and no where would be safe.

What impact would that have on your daily lives now? Would anything change?

I would ditch my normal "mild mannered personallity" and become a "Charlie Sheen Clone".

Interesting question, though the premise kind of falls flat when it has been shown often enough that there isn't anything that any government can keep secret for any period of time. Especially something as juicy as certain knowledge that the Earth is doomed. :)

SO the question would really be, "What if massive, corroborated, indisputable proof from scientists world wide was that an NEO was going to hit and kill most life on the planet in 6 months, what would you do?"

And that's a tough one to answer honestly. So much depends on what everyone /else/ does. And personally I don't hold out much positive thoughts for what everyone else will do

Hey guys, anyone know Bruce Willis' phone number?

I know exactly what I would do...exactly as I am now, tapping the keyboard, and waiting for what I know will occur, and that is not the extinction of the Earth. At worst. a large percentage of it may be destroyed, and that could include myself, but if it did, I would be glad, because those that would survive would have much worse problems to deal with.

There was a documentary on TV many years ago about what life would be like after a Nuclear War. It was pretty gruesome stuff. Things like there would only be enough gasoline for the following years food crop and that was if things would grow at all. Does anyone remember that. It was called "The Day After"
