Author Topic: The End of the World  (Read 5163 times)

Pasting the entire R.E.M. song was totally necessary.
but he did say the end of the world :3

Well when the sun goes into it's red giant state it will envelop the earth and incinerate it. No more Earth. *shrugs*
it would be more of a liquid clump of rock that orbits the inside until it eventually melts away to nothing.

I am sure there will be a moon base, heard there wasn't alot of sun shining on there for a long ammount of time.

The moon will be in there too. In fact, at times, the moon is closer to the sun then the earth.

Yeah, a slow form of incineration but I doubt it will continue the orbit as the sun's gravity will draw it to the core.

But you forget about what gravity is. It is the force of concentrated mass in one area attracting another bit of concentrated mass. Since the sun would be expanded, still containing roughly the same mass, it will have less of a gravitational pull. Since the expansion would be slow, it would not force the earth away so it would just slowly push the earth out of it's self. Unfortunately, not in time for it to melt away to nothing.

But you also have to remember the mass it gains as it does grow. Space may be mostly empty, but not completely. The earth gains 10 tons in mass each year from cosmic dust alone. The sun will have gobbled up Mercury and Venus by the time it gets to us.

Yet it is hardly enough to affect it's already vast size. I doubt it would be enough considering it could hold millions of earths in it we are only 1% of the sun's volume and only 1/332,000 of it's mass.

True. However, it is enough to throw it into a decaying orbit, to say little of how long that will last before it's been burned up completely. might not even make a full revolution.

With the smaller gravity, the earth might have enough speed to break free of the decaying orbit it is already in and move slowly out of the orbit it is in. The problem is that it would not make it out. Hell, i would not give it a season before the earth completely evaporates.

Yeah, that we can agree on, the earth is toast when the sun goes nova. It'd be interesting to be there to watch it happen considering we've survived somehow to prevent it.

I would see that part happening much like it did on Doctor who: Series 2, Season 1, Ep 2: The end of the world. Just a bunch of rich folk sitting, waiting for the planet to burn up. Then some idiot release barriers keeping them alive and thus killing them.

Never saw that. Sounds a lot like the Nicholas Cage movie "Knowing" People knew the world was ending and they all started hugging and junk. I'd probably be in the process of something a bit more intimate with the first cute woman i came across.

Not at all.

The world has long been abandoned and the human race spread throughout the galaxy. The only way the earth has been still around was the field holding the sun form expansion. Sense the earth was unpopulated, the feild was being shut down. An old space station that orbited earth was outfit for people to go to the main deck and watch as the earth slowly gets eaten up. Rose, the current companion and The Doctor, a man Rose has just meet that evening had just traveled from 2005 to the last day of the earth to see it go up in fire. Unfortunately, the last pure human ( the rest had been breading with other people such as cats and trees [ tree hugger lul] ) had decided to kill everyone on the station because she is just that much of an evil, self loving bitch. The Doctor and company decide to stop her by doing stuff.

TL;DR Earth gets incinerated, people forget trees, and the last "pure" human, who happens to resemble a trampoline via plastic surgery, tries to kill people.

Also, the tardis is bigger on the inside then on the outside.

World isnt ending in 2012. You have no proof besides a large circular rock.
