2012

[Dad]

I don't believe any of this 2012, end of the world bs.

I think this world needs a catastrophic event to flush away the dead weight, though......... wouldn't mean [poo] to me, I'm armed, a hunter/fisherman/gardener, live a few short hours away from another heavily armed friend, you get the picture.

I started the topic with the catchy title but the only thing I was talking about was a beautiful whirlpool and you guyz are talking about the end of the world, ech, optimists.

its not gonna be the end of the world so everyone that believes should calm down and look at japan now they are looking fine since the tsunami stopped. People that believe should only freak out when its in there country (not counting japan)

Im don't think the world will ever end.

They said the same thing about the sun that was going to die someday....now they found out that the sun regenerates itself.

Anyhow i believe that the things will go worse....i mean?
in a few seconds more then 2000 humans died in Japan and there is a nuclear explosion alert.
The last news says that 150 men must sacrifice themselfs to end the warming up...it happend in rusland before i can't recall the name..

But if these 3 nuclear reactors would totally explode then....it would almost be the same as the 2 atomic bombs from WW2 only this time 3 of them at the same time.

Seriosly this all adds to the world crysis wich is now bigger then the WW2 crysis.

It will, each star has it's lifetime. Our sun will explode in 5 billion years since now. It has been prooved... so your thinking is nothing close to the facts. Just you have to have some basic knowledge about universe, I'm not gonna teach now.

The Sun regenerating itself, that's a new one. That would make our Sun the most unique star we know of!

The sun burns hydrogen into helium in its core. This process is called nuclear fusion. Fusion happens when lighter elements are forced to become heavier elements. When this happens a massive amount of energy is created. Gravity plays a part on all of this and when the fuel is consumed (which is what happening with our sun) the star dies, gravity wins and the star either becomes a white dwarf, neutron star or and black holes for example. Our sun has another 5 billion or so years before this happens and who knows by then we might have learnt to get it to regenerate itself

Btw Nuclear meltdown is different from a nuclear explosion. A weaponised bomb is specifically designed to detonate and is different from a nuclear reactor (fuel rod's etc). Nuclear fuel rods contains pellets and this is made up I think of uranium oxide and nuclear fission is controlled via boron, cadmium, and hafnium to reduce such a critical reaction. A nuclear bomb is made up of uranium (enriched U-235) or plutonium (Pu-239), tritrium and deuterium which is weaponised to cause a chain reaction resulting in a critical mass explosion.

The only fault that worries me is the one that makes Dad move eight feet.

[Darth Crater]

Kren is right on the science. The sun will not last forever, but we are exceedingly unlikely to care by the time it changes. It is completely impossible for a nuclear reactor to detonate in the style of a fusion or fission bomb. Chernobyl was the absolute worst thing that could happen to a reactor, and that was an old, unsafe Russian design whose operators did absolutely everything wrong. Look up Three Mile Island for a more realistic idea of the possible consequences (hint: less dangerous than half the other things going on over there).

That fault would pay dearly for pushing me like that......

yeah they're looking just fine



who cares about that city of 1,000,000 people that got wiped out
