- 3138 - HOLOCAUST - is in our future? Before the atoms existed there was not any structure that could tell time. Time could not exist among random fundamental particles. There was no structure for time or space before atoms. Size is a function of the Compton Wavelengths which are inversely proportional to mass. Time is a quantity that if it cannot be measured it can not exist.
---------------------- 3138 - HOLOCAUST - is in our future?
- So you think you are having a bad day? Well, I am here to cheer you up. Things could be a lot worse. And, the great think about these things is that if they happen you do not have to worry about it. No worries! Let’s start out with a nuclear holocaust, and asteroid impact, and then a gamma ray burst and end up with time stopping altogether.
-
- A nuclear holocaust would certainly be a bad day. Iran is working hard to bring their nuclear bombs on line. They have said they will take Israel off the map. Russia and the U.S. still have their arsenals to exchange.
-
- The odds of a nuclear war are put at 1 chance in 30 that it will happen. Ranking destruction with a rating of “1” for a localized chaos to a “10” for destruction of the Universe this would rank about a “6”. Hundreds of millions of people would be killed.
-
- An even more likely scenario is for terrorists to use smaller nuclear bombs to attack a single city. There is a 50 - 50 chance this will happen in the next 15 years.
-
- A giant asteroid could impact the Earth again. It happened 65,000,000 years ago to wipe out all the dinosaurs on Earth. The odds are 1 in 1,000,000 that it will happen again in the next 100 years. (See Review 2627 “ Asteroid to Hit the Earth”.)
-
- A 6.2 mile diameter asteroid would rank a “9” on our destruction scale. A 3.1 mile diameter asteroid would kill 25% of the world population.
-
- There could be a Gamma Ray Burst in our cosmic neighborhood. Some scientists believe that one did occur 440,000,000 years ago causing the other mass extinction on Earth. The odds are 1 in 15 that it could happen again in the next 100,000,000 years.
-
-------------------------------------- Then there are:
-
-------------------------------------- Global epidemics,
-
-------------------------------------- Pandemics,
-
-------------------------------------- Global Warming,
-
-------------------------------------- Environmental toxins,
-
-------------------------------------- Biotech warfare,
-
-------------------------------------- Ecosystem collapse,
-
-------------------------------------- Super Solar flare,
-
-------------------------------------- Nanotechnology disaster,
-
-------------------------------------- Alien invasion,
-
-------------------------------------- Supper earthquake, or super volcano. If the volcano under Yellowstone National Park goes super it could engulf most of North America.
-
-
- Humans and machines are merging. Hip replacements, face replacements, lung, heart , and liver replacements. Soon these replacements will all become machines. What will the world be like when the merger is complete. When humans are half robotic how will you know which one you are talking to?
-
- Gene modifications can transform plants into new ones with desirable traits. What will happen when the same thing happens with humans. People will want their babies born with the most desirable traits. When enough of these babies grow up they will take over the world as a superior race. Ordinary humans will be an inferior race. Teenagers will control the world and their parents will be peasant laborers.
-
- If life is discovered on Mars, or an asteroid, it might likely harbor extremely hardy microbes. If our planet mistakenly gets seeded with these super microbes they could quickly take over because humans would not have any immune defenses against them.
-
- Mad science could design a super bomb out of the latest advance technologies. Uranium bombs are bad enough but they are only 0.1% efficient. A bomb made out of anti-matter would be 100% efficient. Fortunately so far science can only produce a few atoms of anti-matter at a time. What if someone produced 100 pounds of anti-matter That bomb could destroy the world. Armageddon in an instant.
-
- The Large Hadron Collider in Switzerland , the world’s largest particle accelerator, could smash so much mass in such a small space as to produce a mini-blackhole. What if it began growing and swallowed up the Earth. The Earth would become a blackhole just one inch in diameter. And, we would never see it coming. So, why worry?
-
- 4% out of 23%, or 83%, or the matter-energy in the Universe is Dark Matter. We do not know what it is. But, what if we ran in to a bunch of it? It could be floating around in the cosmos and accidentally bump into us. What would the interactions become between two different forms of matter. Would we survive such an encounter?
-
- The Sun goes through as 11 year cycle of sunspots, brightness and dimness. What would happen if the Sun went into an extended period of either cycle? Global Warming or Global Freezing. Science believes a Global Freezing event did occur on Earth 650,000,000 years ago, called “ Snowball Earth.”. Could it happen again? Or could the opposite happen? Is the sun a variable star? How much can it vary?
-
- Then there is the possibility that time could just end. Time is direction, duration, and cause - effect ordering of events. Time is what God invented to keep everything from happening all at once. We think time slows as it enters a Blackhole and that time stops with it reaches the center of a Blackhole. Science calls the center a “singularity”. A singularity has infinite density and zero time. There are Blackholes all over the cosmos and at the center of our Milky Way Galaxy where time has stopped altogether.
-
- Earlier science thought time was constant, never changing. In 1910 Einstein changed that thinking and showed how time could slow down and space could bend. Mass causes space to bend. Objects fall through space to places where time passes more slowly. Enough gravity and the resulting Blackhole causes time to slow down until it stops completely.
-
- It is hard to imagine how time could end. However, it is equally hard to imagine how time could not end. That would mean the Universe would go to infinity. It is equally hard to imagine infinities.
-
- The physics to support either theory of time ending or time never ending does not exist. When you get to a point of zero size the math does not work. Same with infinite size. The math just does not handle multiplying by infinity or dividing by zero.
-
- We know time by duration, seconds, hours, days, years. When time began the Universe began. It started with quarks, electrons, neutrinos, and other fundamental particles. These random particles began to assemble into atoms with protons and neutrons just 10 microseconds after the Big Bang. Their size was 10^-15 meters.
-
- Before the atoms existed there was not any structure that could tell time. Time could not exist among random fundamental particles. There was no structure for time or space before atoms. Size is a function of the Compton Wavelengths which are inversely proportional to mass. Time is a quantity that if it cannot be measured it can not exist.
-
- So if you have a really Bad Day you should ponder some to these other events. If there is a really, really Bad Day time will stop and you won’t have to worry about a Bad Day either way. Have a Nice Day and stop worrying.
