No only nuclear, they said something about that the waste of the plants, would destroy the ozon layer and then it would be so hot so the nuclear power plants would be over heated and that will result in a melt down in every power plant on the world.

I smell rubbish :P

But can somebody answer my question? What is Technology Singularity is it something like timewave zero or is the guy who wrote it wrong?

Well, I'm guessing it's wrong, certainly, but I've never heard of it.

When referred to by the doomsday people, it's basically the point where the Terminator movies start to come true.

Essentially, they're talking about a point where we develop artificial intelligence that is smarter than us, which in turn develops even smarter machines, and on and on and on.... Eventually these super intelligent machines get mad at us and wipe us out.

At least that's what I've been able to decipher from the gibberish I've heard.

They never explain why we'd be dumb enough to put this super intelligence that doesn't like us into a giant robot with machine guns for hands and laser beams for eyes. Wouldn't it be better to put it in a big, clunky metal box? That would make it much simpler to pull the plug if it ever gets out of line.

The phrase is also used in other ways, some of them actually sane.

Hi! To day I was on youtube and on the front page this came up

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y5b-kLvppdg

Is that something to care about or is it just the doomsday peapole that strats to run out of ideas :P?

Magically? It came up?

Or you did a search on it?

There's, I think, 85 listed threads thoroughly debunking the 2012 nonsense.

If you say you had fears that were calmed, why are you still watching youtube videos on 2012?

Nothing to it at all.

Here's a rule you can follow that might help set your mind at ease. Anything that mentions 2012 can be safely laughed at, or better yet, ignored. Anything that mentions the Mayan calendar as having prophetic significance can be safely laughed at, or better yet, ignored.

(Same for Planet X, Nibiru, Nostradamus, etc...)

It was on ''videos show'n now''. Is there something to it or is it fake? (I guess fake)

Read my last post, and you should be able to answer your question for yourself.

I didn't even watch the video. Just from the description on the right side of the page I feel 100% confident saying that the video contains nothing of value. In fact, I didn't even read the entire description. The first couple sentences are all you need to tell that it's complete garbage.

Do you see that this guy is promoting a film he produced?
Do you see that the related stuff is Hollywood film?

So; you happened to open youtube when that one in a gazillan person happened to watch that video, so it pops up on the "being watched now".

Do you think that is significant? Could it just be someone looking for movie release information and got the wrong movie reference?

I did not watch the whole video but the 2012 is that about the mayan calender or is it about all these things?

Is there anything as stargate travel, sacred geometry or three dimensional time?

I am not worried about it , it's just like this when I found something that i have'nt read or heard about before I must get it debunked or proven as fast as possible and it is a problem for me I am trying to stop with it.

favole,

You might be interested in this thread and the article that is linked to in it.

WOW thank you so mutch Swift!!

Once you see garbage among the list, then what makes you think the rest is of any better quality?

So; you wait for someone to tell you rather than attempt to research it? In fact you don't even wait to see what is being said?

Trust me on this one, when I did a researched dec 21 2012 for the first time I almost cryed.

So tell me this now, Is the world going to end in 2012 is anything in that video true?

Some of those videos are way too painful to watch. So; while I can't say I saw everything, I can say this:
If ANY of that stuff were true, then the release of information would be on the front page of CNN, FOX, and just about all the major media outlets. They love to point out disasters.

It wouldn't be constrained to a few random blogs, authors and paranormal researchers.

Okey thank you,

I feel mutch better now, 7 months ago I could have made a list of every theory about 2012 and it would have been LONG but now I cant think of anything that would be possible well just the pole shift but that takes ages to complete and does not start at some date like dec 21.

Thank you all att baut.

But is the only 2012 thing he talks about the maya calender?

Why are you asking me?

You provided the link, and you are the one wanting to know. How about watching the garbage yourself and see what he says first before asking us what it means?

You're drawing questions from a quick introductory paragraph. No wonder you are worried about things, you don't take the time to understand what's presented to you in the first place.

Okey sorry NEOWatcher.


I looked at it now and I dont care so mutch now, I dont belive it.

An argument can be made that such an AI could potentially trick humanity into destroying itself, for example, by designing a series of fusion power plants that all turn into 1000-megaton fusion bombs on a certain date, or developing an anti-cancer vaccine that causes the entire human race to gradually become sterile.

As long as they think they can make a buck by scaring the bejeezus out of people, they'll probably be with us for a long time to come. If not the power plants in 2025, it'll likely be the asteroid Apophis in 2036 (which, btw, has recently had its probability of impact downgraded from the 1 in 45,000 originally forecast. The BA blogged about it a while back).

I used to know this girl who was very religious and said that the world would end soon when the Sun exploded. I had never heard anything that stupid in all my life! Anyone with even a high school level of astronomy knows the Sun would have to be at least eight times more massive before it could become a potential supernova. And the sad part is she's a teacher!

Hello Favole

are you the one you claim to be? I don't believe that you are 14 years old watching Fox channel. This channel has ceased, according to Wikipedia, to air in 2006 in Scandinavia. You must have been 11 years old and uncommonly bright for such a youngster!

The calendar is just a construct of human minds therefore no date has any more significance than any other.

We don't even have Fox channel in sweden :P But there where videos on youtube with parts from programs where they where talking about 2012.

Well, this is an interesting one. If the universe is finite, then there are a finite number of states, and, given enough time, each of these states ought to be visited infinitely many times. It's an interesting thought, as it means that once a system is at maximum entropy, then at some later time, it must be at a state of lower entropy, too.

I'd put the next revisitation of the big bang at a decent distance further than three years away, though...

Yea sure but if is was going to happen in 2012 souldnt we have been aware of some changes?

Did you ever think that it might just have been an interpretation of the terminology used? Could it have just been a lack of a proper word for "expanding to some great size"?
Was it explained?

So do some one think there will be a new big bang / big crunch in 2012?

I think that if there would be a big bang again then it would be in a far,far future.
