#1. Human Beings.
everything else pales in comparison ...

You mean cause that is what scientists said back then and well they were wrong? And then they said aqua net was going to eat the ozone layer and we would all have skin cancer, and that the earth was about to go into an ice age, and then we would all die from acid rain and have to wear special protective ponchos in order to goto the store just to get acid free food to eat, and all the soil was falling off into the ocean, and deforestation was going to cause us to not have enough oxygen to breath, and... ahh shit too many bullshit doom of the planet scenarios to pull out of my memory at once. That should cover it. :1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Frank and BEANS FRANK AND BEANS!!!!

You mean bookmarked for the day after the day after the day after tomorrow...

my massive cock is number 8

well, i dont know shit about gamma rays or how constantly those rays are pumped, BUT that is not related to what i mean, you understand that, do you? :helpme

hope you dont need a picture! REMEMBER what Kirk Lazarus sat: "never play a full retard".

really, i dont get what are you laughing at... "smartass" come to my mind. :Oh crap

really?

dont you think maybe sometime between 8000 years ago and today the fucking star let go some gamma rays?
because if not then why worry about the next -let's say- 16000 years?, LOL

O, M, G. :1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Well what might make sense in your head certrainly didn't here.

Fact: Most gamma ray bursts happen during the death of a star or super novae or during the collapse of the core of a rapidly rotating, high mass star into a black hole.

Fact: Gamma ray bursts are directional.

Meaning if the gamma ray burst fires in a direction away from the earth it IS NOT "in" the light you are seeing from a star.

Nothing you say or try to be clever about will change those facts...

check... mate.

Will check it out soon.

Exactly :2 cents:

GREAT, now that you clarify "gamma ray bursts happen during the death of a star or ... etc" is when i, for first time, read "closest star to us that could burst" in our dear fellow's first statement!! thank you!

considering that i would dare to say that there are a possible "A LOT" of gamma rays coming from already death stars, stars that we miss because they die before we start to watch the sky.

plus, if light and therefore our ability to see stars is not related to gamma rays, then i dont see how the "closest star" THAT WE SEE is related to the gamma rays that could hit us.

however, and besides, i was talking about visible light (the light that come from the star) as a measure of distance and the time that something (visible light or WHATEVER) from some star would take to reach us. remember kirk lazarus words :2 cents:

there's no check mate in my head :pimp

We see about 1 gamma ray burst a day going off somewhere out in space outside of our galaxy ... they said that the closest star too us that could die is 8,000 light years away , at that distance we are cooked.... but they also said gamma rays travel at the speed of light ... sooo it would take 8,000 years to reach us? so it won't even be a threat ...The rate we are going , we will be lucky to make it to the 22nd century :1orglaugh

#1 threat = Barack Obama!

what im desperately trying to state is...
"it" would take 8,000 years to reach us, so whatever would reach us we gonna be aware about it 8,000 years later, when it reach us!!

let's say its very possible that a lot of stars we still see every night are already gone...

perfectly some star could fuck us tomorrow 8,000 YEARS AGO, and so tomorrow about the end we would be aware.

------------

about our future <WHATEVER> i think "we" as we know our current civilization, our rights and our culture, are SOOO fucked, fucked for sure.
extinction? i don't think so!!
if the apocalypse is extreme, chances are a "new human" emerges, some elite, survivors, some whatever that dosnt really matters. we are already too advance to just disappear for good. </WHATEVER>

I think I see where the confusion is coming from in understanding you... English isn't your first language is it.
