Still though, there saying this mostrous bowling ball, comes crashing through near the orbits of the first 5 or six planets every what? 3600 years?
I thought the earth was proven to be millions, if not billions of years old. It seems highly unlikely that this Wrecking ball has had over 100,000
passes(probably alot more, I'm not gonna do the math
) through this little alley way and hasn't caused the total annihilation of our known solar system save the sun and maybe a couple gas giants.., it
just doesn't seem plausible.
If we have survived this many passes of this wrecking 3 planet/moon + small star wrecking ball, I stand to think our chances of surviving 1 more will
be faily good.
I hope it's true. Because there's nearly by my rough math 100,000 to 1 chance, no harm will be done, even if it was 1,000 to 1, I'd love to see it
pass through our skies. Should be quite a sight.
What the ETA for it's closest crossing with earth or even to make it easier Jupiters orbit? 4, 8, 12,20 years?
I suppose it's 4 more years right, so we can all run amuk with 2012 End of times scenarios, just because the mayans ran out of space on thier
stone?
My daily planner which is my "life-line" ends on the last Day of December EVERY year. Do I think the worlds gonna end? Of course not, I just go to
office max, and get a set of Calendar refills for it, they cost about $5. Something the Mayans could not do, to just get a replacement for such a
"sacred" stone.
I'm sure scientists have a future calendar that goes past the year 3000 but not much further, maybe they do who know's. Kim Peak (rainman definitely
does), but does that mean the World is going to come to an end? No they'll just add to it, when we get near the year 2900 or so.
The Mayans had a "particular"stone they chose (for some astrological, religious meaning no doubts), so they just kept going adding days, and years
until space on the sacred rock ran out. I'm sure they figured that was long enough (and it was) for others, to pick up somewhere and continue the
calendar system.
New Years eve 2013 (if we make it that far will be slightly more frightening that that of 99, and the y2k bug, but it was done and gone so quickly, I
believe that will be the case when the calendar turn Jan 1, 2013.
I've never bought into any end world scenarios because in my short lifetime I've seen dozens and dozens come and go, and guess what? Nothing
Happened.
**Edit**
After doing some quick math it seems Niribu hasn;t had as many passes as I'd imagined, unless the date of the earth is alot older than I think. If
the earth was 10 million years old (I have no idea how close or way off I am with this, most likely the latter), that only gives Niribu 2,777 passes.
Even still as I said if the odds We're 1000, to 1 (makeing the earth only a couple million years old(I'm fairly certain it's alot older), I'd feal
fairly safe that with those odds, I'd love to see the light show.
I really shoulda researched the age of the earth first, but I'm a bit brain fried on pain meds atm, so I'm doing my best getting coherent thoughts
out. Hope they make some sense.
