holy crap, we have just found the destruction of the galaxy. i warn you though, knowing the end always ruins the rest of the story...

 

[chronobreak]

Haven't we known there was a black hole at the center of the universe for a long time?

 

[xitel]

Um, the Milky Way is huge. It's not that it's going to suck everything in, but the gravity well it creates is what's keeping the galaxy together.

End of the world? Come on dude, read more Hawking.

 

[DiamondJim]

Just covered this in my Astronomy class the other day.

Long story short:

dun worry guyz. its kay.

 

[sarahvait]

Will it be quick?

 

[kapzer]

Aww...y'all ruined it I wanted the thread to turn into "how long before the world ends" debate!

 

[implodingMan]

We already knew it was there. This just confirming its existence. Also, just because it is a black hole does not mean matter will instantly rush into it (as it obviously isn't doing right now). If you replaced the sun with a black hole of the same mass them the Earth would continue on its merry way. We would all still be killed, but that would be from the freezing temperatures and lack of light.

There's a black hole in the Milky Way?


Meh, I'd prefer a Twix anyway.

(Ba dum tish)

 

[Evilbunny]

uhhh, that's not how black holes work. They don't suck in everything everything around them. It's possible to orbit black holes. In fact, there's one in the center of our galaxy and everything is rotating around it.

 

[this_was_a_mistake]

It's probably million of light years away, and was probably there since the beginning of time, so i wouldn't worry. Yet.

Will it be quick?

It will be the slowest death imaginable.

 

[Aardvark]

So G4 has realised that nobody cares what they have to say about games, so are trying the science angle? Appealing to the inner nerd with newly discovered facts about the universe that we figured out years ago?

Good for them.

If anyone needs me, I'll be taking the hyper jump to the Oort Cloud.

 

[sarahvait]

Oh. Well, I won't be the only one, at least.

 

[Anarchemitis]

Fan-freaking-tastic. There's already known a super-massive black-hole located at the nucleus of the galaxy. No danger to us in our lifetimes, or our great great grandchildren.

Hnoestly, im tired of read all this apocalipse stuff, i simply cant live, always in constant fear, sometimes, i wish to simply die before any of those dates, so please, i dont want to see any of these threads anymore. im not going to read the article, ive barely readed some comments and i already feel chills in my chest, but im sort of used to it.

You mean that 'buddah' mode is disabled? *whimpers*

End of the world?

Bugger that, I haven't had the time to conquer it yet. Therefore it'll have to be permanently postponed until such time arises (As long as those meddling kids don't interfere with their over-sized detective dog).

 

[GoblinOnFire]

Will it be quick?

'fraid not.. but it will be close to painless..
