Armageddon Dates We should be Dreading

[onedree]

Every so often, the calendar throws up dates that ‘experts’ predict...
.
Date to dread: 2011
Why we should dread it: The Solar System may enter a Photon Belt. Despite a prediction in 1997 that earth would enter the strange energy phenomenon known as a Photon Belt not coming true, experts predict it may still happen in 2011, leading to aliens landing, the world ending or, at best, widespread electrical failure.
.
Likelihood it will happen: 2/10 – it didn’t happen in 1997, so we’re not holding our breath.
.
Date to dread: 21 December 2012
Why we should dread it: According to the ancient Mayan calendar, the world is divided into 13 baktuns, or cycles. A baktun lasts for 144,000 days and if the Mayans are right, the last day of the final cycle will come at the end of 2012. Still, at least we’d get to watch the Olympics.
.
Likelihood it will happen: 6/10 – the Mayans were sharp cookies and, of the apocalypses doing the rounds, this one is causing the biggest buzz.
.
Date to dread: 2014
Why we should dread it: Pope Leo IX, speaking in 1514, didn’t have to worry about the end of the world because it was a long time away – 500 years to be precise. But if he was right, his prediction would mean lights out on earth in 2014.
.
Likelihood it will happen: 2/10 – Leo was most likely just reassuring his flock rather than coming over all Mystic Meg.
.
Date to dread: 13 November, 2026
Why we should dread it: In 1960, Science magazine gave this as the date when the world’s population would reach infinity – with disastrous consequences.
.
Likelihood it will happen: 1/10 – while there’s no denying the population is a little out of control, it looks highly unlikely it’ll to get so out of hand by 2026 that the Earth couldn’t cope.
.
Date to dread: 26 October 2028
Why we should dread it: The Asteroid 1997 XF11 is predicted to sail dangerously close to the Earth on this day, potentially creating an Armageddon scenario. Luckily by ‘close’ we mean 951,000 km.
.
Likelihood it will happen: 3/10 – even if the asteroid gets as close as experts fear, it’ll still be over twice as far away as the Moon.
.
Date to dread: 2033
Why we should dread it: For all the Evangelical types who thought the year 2000 was going to mean curtains, 2033 is looking like the next disastrous date as it is believed to be the 2000th year after Christ’s death.
.
Likelihood it will happen: 2/10 – at least 2000 had a nice round number ring to it – this one seems to be clutching at straws.
.
Date to dread: 2035
Why we should dread it: One group of doom mongerers called the Raelians, who study a UFO religion, believe if they can establish an embassy in Jerusalem by 2035, an alien race called the Elohim will fall to earth, bringing with it a New Age.
.
Likelihood it will happen: 1/10 – if aliens capable of changing the world are hamstrung by the lack of a buffet reception they’re not worth rolling out the red carpet for.
.
Date to dread: 2280
Why we should dread it: Some maths whizzes claim the Koran contains a code which helps pinpoint the precise time when we’ll all breathe our last breath. Using computers to decode clues hidden in the book, they’ve come up with 2280 as d-day.
.
Likelihood it will happen: 2/10 – looking for hidden codes is nothing new, and this has the hallmarks of another scare-story born out of mathematicians with too much time on their hands.
.
Date to dread: 3797
Why we should dread it: One word – Nostradamus. The French astrologer’s predictions have a worldwide army of followers who believe he’s predicted world wars and other global disasters. This is his suggestion for the end of the world.
.
Likelihood it will happen: 7/10 – Nostradamus is certainly the prediction daddy so it’d be silly to dismiss this one out of hand. However, the fact that none of us will still be here then, kind of makes you worry a bit less.
.
Date to dread: 1,000,000 AD
Why we should dread it: As our Outlook calendars don’t quite take us up this far there’s not a lot of point stressing about this date, but huge Gamma Ray star bursts occur about every one million years. The radiation caused by one of these will have a devastating effect on the Earth’s oxygen supply.
.
Likelihood it will happen: 9/10 – Unless oxygen’s no longer essential, life on Earth won’t stand a chance.

Date to dread: 2011
PaulMarkhamTeens.com receives a massive surge in visitors looking for hot & sexy teens causing over-capacity along internet data cables. Thus leading to massive infernos around the globe. Satellites in space will seize up and mis-align out of orbit leading to them crashing down to the Earth's surface creating devastation and huge craters the size of Mars. Millions of population are wiped out. Magic join links have been implemented to prevent this disaster.
.
Likelihood it will happen: 11/10 ? it didn?t happen in 1997, so we?re not holding our breath.

The Earth is a living breathing ball of gas that is always in change.

The Earth will not say excuse me human race while make changes.

Many people will die due to what has been going on for billions of years, evolution of change of the Earth's surface from with in or out impacts.

OMG people will build a major city at the base of a volcano, but when it erupts they blame it on some dumb as god story.

Humans are IDIOTS, FLA is hurricane central but they will still reside there like dumb asses.

I like this one......... so many people misquoted the dude, saying he said it would be all over in 2000. He predicted a date more than 17 centuries away and he's given some interesting colour about what happens between now and then.

Worth reading some of the more analytical books on interpretations of his quatrains.

The Mayan calendar ending is true. However, the calendar will loop. Just like our calendar ends on 31st Dec, it begins again on 1st Jan.

If anything, it's the end of the human race, not the world. The Earth has survived millions of years before us, and will be here millions of years after we're gone.

I'm really concerned about this whole 2280 thing.

And I heard the Photon Belt means pussy will rain from the sky for 36 hours. That can't be bad.
