Its the End of the World. Again

So, I missed the notice about the end of the world again. So, tomorrow is Destruction Day. Seriously people, you need to give me a months notice about the end of the world, so I can enact a solid business plan because once all the good goyim are gone, there's going to be a whole lotta work opened up. So, in my mind lets list the top ways to go... In terms of how I want it to play out, or how funny it would be.

So, somewhere on the planet its night time and some people, being how we are, are staring at the Moon, and then... The Moon moves out from behind the moon, but that's no naturally occurring celestial body, its a moon sized battle station, and its aim. If you've seen what happens to Alderaan, and various Imperial Bases and Cities (Rogue One), then you know how this plays out. Billions of voices cried out, and were suddenly extinguished says a Jedi Master to his padawan in some other part of the galaxy. Okay, so that's well over the top, mostly because I would think that our scientists would see a moon sized object slowly saddling up behind our Moon, well before it actually got to our Moon. I hope they would anyway. Its one of those plot holes in the Star War's movies... How could nobody realize that something as massive as a moon entered their planets orbit. Okay, I am digressing here.

Vorgons, just as unlikely, and truthfully more ironic than a Death Star. Think about it, in our greed driven, take no prisoners Capitalist system, one in which many of the common folk get jobbed over for the sake of profits, having our little world erased from existence, VIA galactic eminent domain, would probably take the cake. For a few minutes it might make some of us really question how we are running the show. All those people would really have to think twice about their hard core responsibility, as we are told that we had the option to appeal the decision, and that plans had been on display in some other part of the galaxy for hundreds, if not thousands of years. But, we can at least take solace in the fact that if life hadn't been so good to us before that moment, it really wouldn't matter much in a few moments.

Black Hole Sun, won't you come, and wash away the rain... This is another one of this, it could happen, but we are going to see it coming... Well not directly at least. If a black hole were to be on its way, and supposing that it would be coming with a release date of tomorrow, we would have seen disturbances with the other planets in our solar system. By disturbances, we might not be seeing them anymore, as they got sucked up, or had their orbits moved severely, we would even likely hear it. Well, depending on how it came in, we probably wouldn't have to worry about suffering much. Most of us would be nuked to death within minutes, and if we were irradiated to death, well, there are massive impacts, and the possibility of turning into pasta. The plus is, we would become Schrodinger's Cat, alive and dead at the same time.

Phase shift, or at least, that's what I think it is called. With this little world ender, we wouldn't have to panic, we wouldn't even know what happened, or from what I recall, what theoretical physicists believe. Basically, everything in the Universe is destroyed because matter changes. Actually the way they described it, it sounds more like matter becomes corrupted, this corruption spreads out destroying everything in its path... Instantly. The fact is, we wouldn't even know what happened, there would be no rapture, there would be no fear, there would just be nothing. Well nothing for us anyway, we would instantly cease to exist, along with everything that we know or knew. Hey there are worse ways to go I suppose.

Okay one more, this one is not entertaining, this one could actually happen, and this one is going to royally suck, because we would be in it for the absolute long haul of misery, suffering, and yeah, its just going to suck balls. Fundamentalist Christian Terrorist Attack. Okay, this one is actually the sanest of everything I said here. While two are completely outlandish, two are theoretically possible, this one... We have seen what fundamentalists can do, given some time and money. Imagine if you will, the crazy religious folk decide that they are the hand of God. Imagine if you will that these people listen to the voice in their head, you know the one proclaiming to be God, and that this voice says you are the instrument of my wrath. Now, any fundie will recall that God would no flood the world again, but would send fire, and what brings on the fire? Nuclear holocaust. For decades people lived in fear of nuclear attacks from the USSR, now we are in fear of attacks from North Korea. Well since 2001, many have been fearful of a dirty bomb terrorist attack, and for good reason. Currently, in the US arsenal alone, there are enough nuclear weapons to kill the world multiple times over, and unless you were in the direct path of one, or even if you are, it would be bad. Our country is already strained with Harvey and Irma, political tensions are high, societal tensions are higher. Imagine a group of them, say like The Branch Davidians, all armed with home brewed dirty bombs, or clearance enough to launch a strike against another nuclear power, and a president who appears to be slightly off. Now, The Don, is probably a good talker, he had to be, in order to get some of the deals he has gotten in the past, to save his backside. But I don't see him being able to sweet talk his way out of this type of mess. And before you say, oh that could never happen, it can. We have terrorists here in the US, they are white, straight, and christian. They have kept it mostly in line, with a few of the more radicalized of their ilk slipping through. But people like me have realized that they are more of a threat to us, than the ones in other countries (who also have these same christian terrorists). They are feeling oppressed, they are feeling angry, and if a few of them decide they are now the hand of God, we are in for a world of pain and suffering the likes we have only seen twice, and for good reason.

Of course, many of these things are improbable, if not outright impossible. I mean, we could literally see a physical manifestation of religion tomorrow, but that ranks lower than a black hole eating up the solar system, or even for that matter Darth Vader ordering the planets destruction via a moon sized battle station called the Death Star. Honestly, I fully expect that tomorrow will come and go, and the only thing that happens is Trump tweets some insanity, Congress continues to go about not doing its job while regular people continue to do theirs. Life on our little rock continues as normal, without so much as a blimp on the radar. In a few months, or maybe even sometime next year, another crank will come out of the woodwork and cry out, “The world's gonna end!” and for a few days, weeks, or even a month, he or she will be in the limelight, until the day passes without so much as an earthquake. Until it doesn't. And when I say that, its not because of anything other than... You never know what someone crazy will do, until they do it. We should be leery of the extremists within our boarders, because they are already here, they have been here, and we don't know what they are planning, or when they are planning to do it.
