    this wont kill mankind, there are over 100 ways that mankind will perish

  2. Macsalamander says:

    13 billion year old universe
    4 1/2 billion year old earth..
    2 billion year to galactic collision..
    add up all the numbers using my special calculator from best buy = 666
    i feel comforted knowing where and when..
    thanks for the heads up!!!!!!

    As far as I won’t live to see it, I don’t care. Best of luck to the future generations!

    What is energy and is that energy to you?

    CANT FUCKING WAIT FOR OUT GALAXY TO CLASH INTO OTHER GALAXY CUNTS

    @SnapShow82 I don’t know why you bothered responding to these people. I’d say they’re just trolling, but I think they may actually be stupid enough to attempt to use the past 50 years to predict the next 2 billion. These are honestly some of the dumbest comments I’ve ever read. Sorry you had to put up with them.

  11. jestrrr101 says:

    in 2 billion years the sun will probably have expanded past earth so we really won’t have to worry about it

  12. RedTellus says:

    haha, you all be dead by then!

  13. PALFINTER says:

    @Lesserthannone I recently thought that I have about 5 billion years ) Because then sun turn into a red giant and likely eat the Earth.

  14. sbergman27 says:

    @SnapShow82: Sorry for the continuation. But this kind of project is very susceptible to disruption by nuclear or biological warfare. Regarding vacating the Earth… fat chance. 6.5 billion is a huge number of people. How many people have walked on a world which was not the Earth? 12, IIRC. We regularly allow countless humans to die for lack of funds to pay for antiviral drugs. We’re going to pack those people onto shuttles for Mars if Earth gets ruined? I doubt it.

  15. sbergman27 says:

    @SnapShow82:Consider that we’ve lacked capability to send humans to the moon for 38 years. And in about a year, Russia (and China?) will be the only country able to send people into even low Earth orbit. While other technologies has advanced beyond my wildest dreams, manned space-flight has been one of the great disappointments of my 47 year life. Fortunately I’ve discovered that robotic probes are superior, by far, for this stage of our exploration of space.

  16. SnapShow82 says:

    @sbergman27 I think you might be reading too much into my statement. All I’m saying is if we were able to ship a person to the moon 40 years ago, then just think of the possibilities in the coming 2 billion years. Whether or not we’ll even be around in 200 years is irrelevant, as is the fate of Earth if the population had to vacate… cuz if we needed to leave Earth, then obviously something bad is about to go down!

  17. sbergman27 says:

    @SnapShow82 : In 200,000 years, Homo sapiens has not managed to send a single person beyond Earth orbit. (Note that the moon is in Earth orbit.) We have, however, excelled in two areas: Breeding, and creating ever more destructive weapons… both in large quantity. What makes you think that we would be around in even 200, let alone 2 billion years? And would relocating hurt the then extant life on Earth? Would Earth’s orbit around the Sun be affected significantly? I’m not sure.

  18. ProElite15 says:

    @ParaBokGibiHuzurYok i think thats when our sun is going down and i think its in 4 point something billion years

  19. LilStinkyDude3 says:

    we have seen about 0.1% of the galaxies that surround us. we have found that one of them in the hundreds of thousands is heading towards us. if my calculations are correct, at least 1,000 galaxies are heading our way, all at different rates. or at least that is what is most likely…

  20. SnapShow82 says:

    @infestedzerg99 YEAH, pretty sure I did watch the video… and obviously the planet would be IN the galaxy… I figured that went without saying.

  21. infestedzerg99 says:

    @SnapShow82 didnt u see the video?we’d have to travel to another galaxy,not just planet.

  22. contrastively says:

    I, too, like many others am beginning to get more interested in astronomy. So thank you very much for this video!

  23. BigCatsWildlife says:

    I am getting into astronomy and I am cramming anything and everything astronomy related into my head and your lessens are AWESOME! Please keep up the great work, Thank You.

    Check the? video “My Ode to the Universe 1080P” on my profile for some instant goosebumps :) Get back here and thumbs up if you liked it

    The wavelength of visible light is 380-720 nanometers and the radius of hydrogen atom is 53 picometers i.e the wavelength of visible light is a 1000 times greater that’s why we can’t see an atom. Visible light and all that falls below the visible spectrum are Non Ionizing Radiation, they don’t cause cancer. Domestic microwave ovens operate at 2450Mhz and use more than a 1000 Watts, where as cell phones operate in a band of 2450Mhz and use only a few Watts, that’s why they don’t fry our brain.

  26. muzammilali007 says:

    The reason a light bulb glows is a microwave is is not because the microwaves are knocking off electrons out of the filament but because that electric current starts to flow through it. that’s the reason why we don’t put any metallic object in the microwave oven. and finally microwaved objects can’t be used as weapons as these objects couldn’t possibly give off radiation of that high intensity and not to mention that it’s non ionizing radiation.

    Where was this taken?

  28. tonyswarstuffdotcom says:

    thanks for posting these videos

  29. AnaTipton says:

    I have been calculating the par secs since I saw this video a month ago, I observe easily now in the am hours. This technique is truly awesome and effective. Very simple ,understandable and applicable to the naked eye ,its true .

  30. KutasusWielgus says:

    i cant wait for THE ANSWER!!! lets take zyankali!

  31. tonyswarstuffdotcom says:

    @JollSSteR the temp in ur freezer should be below 32 degrees so use a plastic container with a cap dont fill all the way but keep watching it dont let it get solid. then shake it and ice will form

  32. JollSSteR says:

    @tonyswarstuffdotcom Thanx Tony, ill try it out ^^

  33. tonyswarstuffdotcom says:

    @AnaTipton why dont you suck his cock

  34. tonyswarstuffdotcom says:

    @JollSSteR yeah just lower the temp below freezing then shake the liquid t freezes

  35. JollSSteR says:

    can someone give me more info about how to super freeze?
    it sounds cool, but i didnt really understand how to do it .P

  36. AnaTipton says:

    I going back UC Berkeley and this is really helpful in a tremendous way for my personal studies.He has a very sexy voice…

    I love these. Thank you from the south UK!

    your a genius. i did my physics exam last week but i wish i watched this before- i learned so much.
