I better get my 2012 party hat on then. |

To be fair, we are pretty far from the center of our gallaxy and should be relatively unaffected by the pull though, right? I'm starting to think it won't pull the Earth out of it's rotation around that sun (as I thought earlier). With that previous logic, the center of our gallaxy would pull every orbiting planet body out of orbit and there'd be billions of free-floating planets, which there aren't...right? |

That there will be no celestial bodies like planets, stars, or asteroids or anything of the like in between earth and the center of our galaxy (which, naturally, provides the strongest gravitational pull we know of). This means that gravitational pull should increase dramatically, much worse than when there's a full moon. When there's a full moon, gravitational pull is slightly awkward, and you can make a generalized statement that people behave somewhat more odd when there's a full moon. Namely children. I also believe there's more crime when there's a full moon overall. Now take into account a gravitational pull that's going to be much, much stronger than just a full moon. |

Dude you are joking now right?You don't actually believe that?
1)First, there is no way to know about whether any celestial body will be found between earth and the center of the milky way because there is simply no known way to detect celestial bodies below a certain size/mass and that is usually a...medium sun size (like our sun) or that of a planetary gas-giant planet like Saturn. It is only recently taht scientists started recognizing gas-giant planets outside our solar system that resemble Jupiter or Saturn. Below this size, it is simply impossible, even for the strongest current radio-telescope to detect anything at all (in our solar system only the sun, saturn and jupiter would have been detected leaving the majority of planets and all their big moons out of the picture).
2) This is just a crazy idea. There is no way that the earth's "line" wouldn't meet with another celestial object.I mean its down to simple logic.Even in the case that our galaxy had a minimum of 200 billion stars (maximum estimate is 400 billion) this would be only a tiny fraction of the total number of all the planets and all the celestial bodies. Just think that for our sun there are 9 planets, a dozen of moons that have approximately the same size of the earth and 2 zones of asteroids within and outside our solar system. This probaility just doesn't exist, it is impossible. In a matter of fact the earth is always in a straight line with a number of objects and these are the asteroids from the Kuiper zones. Lets just not imagine how many similar "Kuiper" zones are out there.
3) Gravity doesn't work like you say, don't believe every new-age crack-pot site you read!First of all, an objet's gravitational field is proportional to its body-mass and varies inversely to the square of the distance of the body. This means that the further away you move from an object, the less its gravitational effect becomes on you. The distance of the center of the milky way galaxy from the earth is around 32 light years, or 32 times 9,460,730,472,580.8 kms (gulp!Thats a ing long way!)Supermasibe black holes are estimated to have the mass of a few million times of our sun. Still, even if a hypothetical supermassive black hole exists in the center of our galaxy (its hypothetical because no one has ever certified it, it fits some observations and mathematical models though) its gravitational influence would be just a tiny fraction of the distance between the earth and its center. This is why the bloody galaxy exists, if the influence of the black hole stretched further here, then we would already be within its event horizon. You don't want to know what happens in there.
Furthermore Because some objects are not in the way doesn't mean that gravity is heightened. On the contrary, when the gravitational fields of the objects meet, then the gravitational field expands and becomes stronger. This is why planetary constellatons (from planets which are close to each other) exert a bigger gravitational influence towards each other (still tiny though).
Finally there is no evidence that gravity affects our brains or psychological/mental states. This are just "astrological" (and not astronomical and i can assure you neither psychological or biological) fairy-tales! Thanks. |

just to let you know, there's only 8 planets now. |

Yes, i've heard the bad news.
:(
Bring back Pluto you bastards!:mad: |

Here's how it's gonna go down.
In all the hype and paranoia that will abound on this date, Nuclear Launch Site Employee A and Nuclear Launch Site Employee B will made mad love in the control room.
During this passionate lovemaking, one of them hits the LAUNCH button, sending nukes on their way to some country.
The country calls the control room.
"What are you DOING?! Is this an intentional attack on our country?!"
all that comes back on their end is
"Mmmph oh, oh YES! YES!"
Leading the country to believe that the control room employees have been taken hostage by extremists.
In an attempt to quell any more nuclear launches against their country, they launch nuclear missiles at us.
Endgame. |

yep, i've heard of this a while ago
i honestly wouldn't be surprised, the way the world is turning out... |

| What will happen? The same thing that happened on Y2K, and the same thing that will happen on this weekend's "Daylight Savings Time Fiasco." People will spend all of this money on bull ideas, they'll panic, they'll fear, I'll wake up the next morning and go, "Hah! Now you bull conspiracy/apocalypse/doomsday people can suck my left nut." |
