Title: 1.2 million years left Post by .JaSin. on Dec 24th, 2018 at 11:26pm What we have here is evidence of the Gliese Star side-swiping our Solar System (inside the Oort Cloud) in 'just' 1.2 million years. That's not much time, in the scheme of our planet's existence and life upon it. So basically, going by the evolutionary time it has taken for us to be here today. 1.2 million years is like a blink of an eye. Currently, Humanity looks as if it could only survive another thousand years. So another intelligent species has just 1.2million years to evolve 'before' all life and this planet is 'possibly' destroyed. This clip shows amazing mapping technique of our Galaxy via the Satellite GAIA. The amount of 'Exo Planets' is astounding - thousands! Just outside our Solar System. A bit slow until the 12min mark. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LOJ1XmbSKhM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LOJ1XmbSKhM |

An asteroid could hit us at any moment -
an extinction event. A super volcano could wipe us out too. There are 20 super volcanoes in the world ready to explode. Super volcanoes can put up to 5,000 cubic kilometers of dust & chemicals into the atmosphere in one explosion - enough to darken the world for years meaning no crops would grow. We would be wiped out. |

hmm? You seem a person of the same thought 'pattern' as I. Strange, very strange. That's the second post you've made that would be something i would post. Who are you? |

In terms of human life, I have lived 39 years. It feels like an eternity. In an evolutionary timeline, you will find that 1.2 million years seems like an eternity. |

And so. Even if Humanity excelled and lasted 1 million years and became so advanced - would we be advanced enough to live forever? Even if for another 5 million years? After all, the Dinosaurs lived for over 100 million years. We haven't even scratched their record. |

I'm almost 60 and it's been like a spark of flint against steel, a flash in the pan. I'm sorry your life has been such a drag, get out more, move. Edit: Or maybe don't, you'll feel like Methuselah when you get to my age if you reach it. |

I am 60 My life has flashed by But it has been a hoot. There isn't much I have not done or any places I wanted to visit that I have not been to. Life has been good to me A wonderful wife, perfect children, amazing grandchildren. Friends and family. And with so much more to do, I intend to live forever. But the greatest gift will be the revolution. I just hope to live to see the bastards brought to the wall to be shot. |

I saw a man in Katmandu
He had no eyes, they were taken out. He had no nose, it was cut off He had no ears, they were cut off too. He had no fingers, cut off. He had no tongue, taken out. He could not see, smell, hear, touch-feel or taste-talk. His life, day in - day out, was to sit by the side of the road in a little humpy of rags someone built for him and 'beg' for food and water, never money. I wondered, when I just stared at him from next to my paid tourist guide, who - like others, brought Tourists to come and see this man. Would he know how old he was, how long he had been like this, would he care what year it was??? Has he lost another sense, to time? I discharged my guide, who reluctantly went, for bringing me to this man. I waited a few minutes and then moved towards the bowl of the beggar man, pulled my pants down and bent to drop a dirty curry-induced bog-log in his bowl. He felt the bowl vibrate from the drop against his ankles and he immediately bent his head down to eat face first into the bowl. He could not smell the crap he was falling towards, nor could he taste it as he swallowed. He rose and his face was covered and smeared with faeces. He ate poo! I was horror struck! How could he - do such a terrible thing? What drove him to commit such madness? Eventually I settled, as I watched him lip-clean the bowl and thought - well, lucky for him, I didn't have a gun or I would have shot him dead. Moral of the story: Star Gleise is the Bullet |

Apparently Gleise will pass close enough to be seen with the naked eye. About 3 times as bright as mars. Probably a bit too early to get excited about it.

It won't be Geise's brightness more so than Mars - that is the worry. It's the 'gravitational' effect on our solar system that is the worry. Imagine earth pulled from its orbit from the sun and dragged out beyond the orbit of Neptune, not enough to be caught by Gleise, but enough to be lost to Sol. If we are more 'advanced' than Dinosaurs - then surely we can live for longer than they did. 1.2 million years is not going to cut it. |
Title: Re: 1.2 million years left Post by freediver on Dec 25th, 2018 at 10:00pm
How much gravitational pull would you expect from a star almost as big as the sun that you can barely see with the naked eye?

The gravitational effect would be similar to the Gravitational effect Sol would have on Gleise when it passes inside the Oort Cloud barrier. It will be our planet's and its planets that will suffer most. The Asteroid Belt and Kuiper Belts would spray their Ex-Planetary remains around like a grenade of nails going off in all directions. |

That won't happen. It will have no effect on Earth's orbit. The worst that will happen is that it will send a lot of comets into the inner solar system |
