People say that the world is going to end in 2012. I doubt that it will, and definitely hope it does not. There are so many things that I want to do in my life and not living to be 18 definitely doesn’t go into my plans. But I think that people are over-stressing. People base their fears on the slightest things. Just like people were freaking out about the change of the millennium eleven years ago, they are freaking out about the apocalypse now. My question is, why must there be an apocalypse in the first place?
There are different theories of what exactly is going to happen next year: we will all burn up, natural disaster will wipe us all out, etc. But where are all of these theories coming from? An unfinished Mayan calender which sparked concern and paranoia?I was discussing this question with a friend a while back, and my friend asked me, “If you don’t believe in all of this, how do you think the world is going to end?” I laughed this question off, but several hours later fell into deep thought, perplexed over this new task; creating a theory for the world’s end. At last, I came up with a plan.
Humanity’s hunger for advancement and discovery is going to be the soul cause of the word’s end. In my theory, there are an infinite amount of parallel times and “worlds”, where each world is a mirror image of the next, such that all of the worlds are the same. So as I sit here typing now, somewhere in a parallel world, there sits another me, typing exactly what I am typing now. As you are reading this, an infinite amount of you’s are reading this in an infinite number of parallel worlds, all at the exact same time. As scientists are making discoveries in our world, they are doing exactly the same thing in all of the others. The apocalypse will come when our scientists discover the existance of the other parallel worlds. Then there will be a collapse of time as each world discovers the other and the time walls keeping each world guided along its time frame will be breached. Everything will just end as our universe collapses from the chaos and explosions of time as the same moments collide with each other every second.
This is my theory on how the world will end. What is yours?
Interestingly enough, I just watched a video on stumbleupon which proves your theory wrong (I am sorry.) You're talking about a point in the 7th dimension, not to be a nerd. If you have like 10 minutes to spare go ahead and watch this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XjsgoXvnStY
ReplyDeleteas for my theory, in some billion or trillion years the mass of the universe will be large enough that gravity will overpower the expansion of the universe, pulling it back together into a black hole. or maybe a meteor or something will just split the earth in two. who knows
ps sorry for being a smart ass in that comment..
ReplyDeleteNeat theory, but a little implausible, don't you think? I've always figured, that with the inevitable proliferation of nuclear weapons, eventually someone is going to use one on another nuclear nation and start a war. With any luck, the major nations would stay out of it, but it would still cause climate change and famine.
ReplyDeleteAn earthquake? Birds? Snakes? An airplane?

Anyway, your theory sounds kinda heavy on sci-fi cliches, really. Never The Selves Shall Meet, For Science, etcetera.
Probably the end of the world will be an asteroid impact, nuclear war, or a Gamma-Ray Burst. There's a sort of unstable star a hundred light-years away which is aimed roughly at us, apparently.
I think that humans want an apocalypse, but everybody especially wants to be the "one" who predicts it. It would be like saying "I told you so" to the entire world.
ReplyDeleteCountless times throughout history, people have lead groups, or published books saying that the world will end in [insert year] and been wrong. If enough people ever believe one of these theories, it is a self-fulfilling prophecy. Everybody begins looting and all hell breaks loose.
What annoys me is that people point to earthquakes, tidal waves, and other natural disasters as proof of something "big" coming, when the disasters have been occurring at a regular pace.
I never really enjoy thinking about how the apocalypse will come about; after all, if it is inevitable, I'd rather not think about it and just enjoy life while I can. But your theory was interesting.
ReplyDeletepeople have been saying the world is going to end for centuries I find myself wondering why people want it to end so badly instead of simly enjoying life? mystery to me. hmm anywho great blog post
ReplyDeleteSeveral people have been speculating when the world will end for several centuries. I seem to not care anymore and just continue to live my life one day at a time.
