Someone asked me: Just how will our end come; Stand-esk, or more along the lines of Robert McAmmons Swan Song?
I find it an interesting subject. Humanity's end. I love watching disaster movies, like, Day After Tomorrow or 2012. I like watching them mostly because I like catching where they get the science wrong. Like climate change, neutrino morphology, weather patterns, prehistoric weather and geologic history and patterns in comparison to what we see today.
I love hearing that people think that everything happening now is NEW. When our last ICE AGE actually happened in the 1800's and before that when Washington was crossing the Delaware. They happened because of volcanoes that went off half a world away and created severe climate change that affected the entire world. Nature happens. All the time. Everyday. We can't stop it. We can't interfere with it. We can't alter it.
Today there was a HUGE, heretofore never seen, solar flare that was like an earthquake on the sun. So large it created a corona around the sun and knocked out cable, internet and phone service, as well as satellites for GPS. All our knowledge, experience and technology is NOTHING in the face of Nature. Humans are so very arrogant. We think we are the movers and shakers of the universe and all we are is grains of sand slipping through the sieve of time, unnoticed, unheard, unfelt.
How we go matters only to us, because we'll do it to ourselves. But one way or another we will go and all else will be as before we came.
It is as has been said, we are only, Ashes and Dust.
