If it ends starting in New Zealand and travels east, does that mean I can get on a plane west of New Zealand and travel to the location after it has been destroyed?
In other words, I will arrive safety after New Zealand has been destroyed and live there after the "end."
Of course, this argument would only make sense given the direction as well as the cataclysm itself. If the whole world just blew up, it wouldn't matter.
Thoughts?
Sorry, but I lend absolutely now weight to superstitious bullshit. I know you personally don't believe it either, but I simply don't like entertaining comic book "what ifs".
Now the scientific facts of life ending is that eventually IT WILL, not just life as we know it changing us for the worse, but all life will end. This planet will die and also the sun will eventually either expand and die or collapse.
Or even a meteor will hit us just like it wiped out the dinosaurs. That is a more likely scenario considering the amount of meteors constantly moving in and around our solar system. Just a few years ago several huge ones big enough to destroy this planet hit Jupiter.
And all one has to do to know eventually that is likely is to look up at the pock marked moon. And that cosmic collision is also the way the moon itself was formed.
But I do really hate even entertaining such superstitious doomsday prophecy, be it biblical or new age Mayan crap.
The Mayan calender ended not because they thought it was the end of the world (like the new age superstitious bullshitters would have you believe), that calender ended because like today, you and I cant visually conceive what 50 trillion dollars would look like. The Mayans back then simply counted as high as they thought they needed or probably were limited to at the time.
