If I got to choose the apocalypse, like if there was a big apocalyptic spinner. I'd make it land on 'zombie'. I like that scenario the most. If the world is going to be destroyed, there should be zombies.

Zombies would probably radiate from the cities so it'd be a few days or weeks before you got hit I guess. I live too close to London, I reckon I'd have three days.

Shaun of The Dead, I see...Great reference.

The Chinese.

Big-ass, pissed off Chinese people. With a lot of speedboats.

Big spiders.

Lots of big-ass, angry spiders.

If this comes to pass I will find you in the afterlife and be really awkward about it.

I think you mean, tiny, pissed of Chinese people.

Crashpunk 09-16-2012 02:37 PM

I'm Racist and I found that Chinese.

Nepsotic 09-20-2012 04:30 AM

I don't get it.

I'll just shrug and start into a coughing fit so I won't have to explain my prediction.

I believe the world will end when someone divides by zero.

Bullet Magnet 10-08-2012 01:35 AM

I wonder who actually understands what that means or where the apocalyptic associations come from?

Nepsotic 10-08-2012 03:08 AM

The something calendar, I can't remember what it's called.

Bullet Magnet 10-08-2012 08:04 AM

In the Swartzchild solution, which describes the spacetime outside of a sphere of matter and also a black hold in a matter-free universe, r is the distance from the center of the sphere/black hole.

ds2 = −(1 − 2M/r) dt2 + 1/(1 − 2M/r) dr2 + r2 dΩ2.

As r gets smaller the equation gets closer to infinity. At r=0 it reaches it. Or not, since it's usually considered to be undefined. But in a black hole, r=0 is the singularity. That is where the laws of physics as we understand them break down, because our only way of describing it returns as a divide by zero error.

Nepsotic 10-08-2012 10:39 AM

You know the theory, that the universe is still growing and that one day it'll pull itself back in and cause the big crunch?

That ain't gonna happen. Behold, DARK MATTER!

This has something to do with it, right?

Ah, the MAYAN calendar, that's it.

Bullet Magnet 10-08-2012 01:41 PM

Big Crunch seems very unlikely at this juncture. Not enough gravity.

Nepsotic 10-08-2012 01:55 PM

No, it's proven to be impossible. Behold, DARK MATTER!

Bullet Magnet 10-08-2012 02:19 PM

Like I said, unlikely. The might have missed a vital clue that reveals the truth of it, but I don't expect so.

MeechMunchie 10-08-2012 02:55 PM

Sorry, I can't hear you because of all the DARK MATTER

Bullet Magnet 10-08-2012 03:07 PM

Stop saying dark matter.

Nepsotic 10-08-2012 05:39 PM

You know what dark matter is, right, BM?

Hulaabeo 10-09-2012 02:46 AM

Isn't that stuff that supposedly makes up the unaccounted mass in the universe? ._.

DARK ENERGY, actually. If it was just DARK MATTER, there'd be plenty enough gravity to draw all of the DARK and light MATTER to collapse back in to itself. It's DARK ENERGY that is pushing all the matter in the universe apart and causing it to accelerate.

Nepsotic 10-09-2012 07:01 AM

Yeah... that's what I meant.

Behold, DARK ENERGY!

JayDee 10-09-2012 09:04 AM

Me and STM have plans for a zombie apocolypse. DARK ENERGY be damned.

Dixanadu 10-11-2012 11:28 AM

I wouldn't like a zombie apocalypse, but maybe if a zombie outbreak did happen...and lasted for about a week or two, I might actually like it.

I read the Zombie Survival Guide in vain hope that such a scenario would happen.

Fingers crossed.

Nepsotic 10-11-2012 11:31 AM

Hm, I was thinking that, maybe, if a virus similar to T was engineered, would it be possible to create something that reanimates DNA and can create zombies? I don't think anybody's researching it...

Dixanadu 10-11-2012 11:35 AM

Hah... I remember the original Night of the Living dead centered around a crashed radioactive meteor raising the dead back to life.

Also, said zombies shouldn't run, just stumble. I can't run for shit, and need to stop after thirty seconds to rest.

Bullet Magnet 10-11-2012 01:25 PM

Organisms are very complex and need a lot of components working smoothly to function at all. Death occurs because some of those things are not working. Zombies as deceased entities would not work for the very same reason that deceased entities don't.

Dixanadu 10-11-2012 01:27 PM

Just like that, preferred apocalypse ruined.

Come on alien invasion, let's be having ye.

Mr. Bungle 10-11-2012 01:34 PM

So, what do you guys think will go down on December 21st? Mostl likely nothing, but it's fun to hear ridiculous theories of our demise.

MeechMunchie 10-11-2012 01:55 PM

A load of disillusioned Mayans will go on a murderous rampage.

Nepsotic 10-11-2012 01:59 PM

I believe the Chicken-Squirrel will devour the earths core and replace it with an engine, so it can be piloted across the universe as a huge space-mall, where aliens can buy it's resources.
