The coming end of everything

By Donald Sensing

We are so screwed:



NASA Predicts Our Galaxy Will Collide With Another In 6B Years

A great galaxy mashup will occur in 6 billion years when our galaxy, the Milky Way, collides with the nearby Andromeda galaxy, according to the first reliable determination of Andromeda’s sideways motion, made using NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope. 

The galactic union isn’t expected to result in the destruction of Earth, the Sun, or any other planet in the solar system. In fact, no stars whatsoever are expected to collide becauase they are so far apart within each system. But Earth’s night sky is expected to undergo a “spectacular evolution,” according to NASA scientists, who gave a press conference on the new findings 

But it might be only four billion years! Ohh Nooo! It is, once again, The End Of Life As We Know It! Let me count the ways:

  1. The giant asteroid that could be on course to hit Earth causing massive devastation! 
  2. Or the scenario this year as an obscure Planet X -- or Nibiru -- heads toward or collides into Earth. 
  3. Or that "Unseen dark comets 'could pose deadly threat to earth'." 
  4. That's if we live long enough - doubtful because of the comet Genondahwayanung is on its way back and it pretty much annihilated most life in North America when it came here the first time.
  5. Not to worry about that, though, since we face supernova and galaxy-attack scenarios. 
  6. And then the massive gas cloud speeding toward a collision with the Milky Way! 
  7. But really, who cares about threats from outer space when out own atmosphere may detonate? 
  8. And then the asteroids. 
  9. Then the black hole death stars! 
  10. And we might be swallowed whole by the sun. 
  11. And there's an intense beam of gamma rays coming our way. 
  12. Then there was the fear that "human society is very quickly headed to a violent and disturbing end." 
  13. Then the earth began to kill people for changing its climate. 
  14. Then there is the voracious, galactic Hoover in Switzerland that will suck the whole planet into a black hole. 
  15. And the massive destruction along the coasts of countries like the USA, UK and many on the African continent, within a matter of hours.

I tell ya, I'm starting to think that sooner or later, every one of us is going to wind up dead.
