Oligo 1 Posted April 5, 2002 I think l33t means 'leet' which is supposed to mean 'elite'. It's something those pimple faced computer geeks use instead of real words. I used it just because it is a stupid shit of a way to speak. Oh yeah, you told that you're going to join the army. Well, good luck in finishing your journal in time. You know, you're supposed to write it while you are doing the work, not afterwards (as if). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DarkLight 0 Posted April 5, 2002 What's the big deal, we'll all die one day! And the world will be destroyed one day, it's proved that in a couple billion years the earth will turn into something like the sun. No chance of survival... An asteroid would only make it all go a bit faster. And btw, what's the chance that it will hit li'lle Belgium Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gorgi Knootewoot 0 Posted April 5, 2002 I believe that in a couple of billion years our sun (which is a  star) will be burned up, and the earth will become a eaten by the sun. Oh, i am not the only one ho believes this. It is proven by some scientists. Oh silly me. How on earth (hehe) did you come at the idea that the earth will become like the sun. Solar energy is created deep within the core of the Sun. It is here that the temperature (15,000,000° C; 27,000,000° F) and pressure (340 billion times Earth's air pressure at sea level) is so intense that nuclear reactions take place. This reaction causes four protons or hydrogen nuclei to fuse together to form one alpha particle or helium nucleus. The alpha particle is about .7 percent less massive than the four protons. The difference in mass is expelled as energy and is carried to the surface of the Sun, through a process known as convection, where it is released as light and heat. Energy generated in the Sun's core takes a million years to reach its surface. Every second 700 million tons of hydrogen are converted into helium ashes. In the process 5 million tons of pure energy is released; therefore, as time goes on the Sun is becoming lighter. The Sun appears to have been active for 4.6 billion years and has enough fuel to go on for another five billion years or so. At the end of its life, the Sun will start to fuse helium into heavier elements and begin to swell up, ultimately growing so large that it will swallow the Earth. After a billion years as a red giant, it will suddenly collapse into a white dwarf -- the final end product of a star like ours. It may take a trillion years to cool off completely. When cooled of, the earth is gone. So the earth will never become a star Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DarkLight 0 Posted April 5, 2002 Man, I saw that on National Geographic Channel (or whatever it's called) so it probable isn't bullshit, the earth'll turn into something like the sun and will then explode. I can't remember why but it had something to do with the real sun, oh well, it isn't my problem, i'll be dead by then so why should i give a damn Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gorgi Knootewoot 0 Posted April 5, 2002 I guess you're right i'll be long death before this event takes place. So i'd better eat my marshmellows now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wobble 1 Posted April 5, 2002 mm too much armageddon u have been viewing methinks actually I have been watching the discovery channel.. according to the scientists, in space.. voide of any signifigant gravity (I.E. near a planet) it takes approx the equiv of 50 pounds of TNT to alter the course of a 100 ton objectmoving at 500mph by 15 degrees.. so therefor a 12 megaton nuclear blast could alter the course of a several billion ton object by several degrees.. hence alter the course of a giant rock to the point that its orbit does not intercept earth... its not a big deal.. at distance of 12 million miles only a fraction of a degree alteration would be needed to make an object miss the earth.. CURRENT technology can detect 1 mile x 1 mile object at 38 million miles and intercept it by no less than 18 million with a nuclear device.. you dont even have to hit the object.. just set the nuke off NEAR it.. and its course will be altered.. remember.. in a 0 gravity there is a major cause and effect "for very action there is an equal and opposite reaction" kinda deal for every pound of force pressed one way and object will move that much, unlike here on earth...

One of them had to do with if there was a massive solar flare it could burn away the ozone and the earths protective atmosphere, exposing us all to hefty doses of radiation.
