Good news and bad news for us simmers and pilots

Featured Replies

The bad news...  Fried motherboards, something distracting us from final approach, gps disturbances, fried above ground utilities, zapped microwave ovens, etc.. etc.. etc.....

The good news.  If we are still around by then we will have lived long and prospered....

Galaxy merge is bad, but this could happen and cause chaos sooner (nature.com). 

Earth’s magnetic field is acting up and geologists don’t know why

Looks like we might be getting close to a polarity flip, which happens every once in a while, like 2,000 years ago for the last one. The period (hundreds of years) when it's flipping can be very low magnetism in the Earth's field, so get ready for more hard radiation on the ground without the protection.

Thanks for this thread! You saved me a few bucks. I'll hold back on my purchase of the 2080ti until after the galaxy merge!

Wow. 8 billion years?! 😮

I have serious doubts, that Mankind (the way we're behaving towards our planet and each other) will exist in one million years (or maybe even a thousand)...
