Predicting the End: The Scientific Truth Behind the Rapture

[HeLiXe]

I'm feeling light-headed. A couple of times today I levitated just a little bit. I had to put a seat belt on my chair just to finish work. It's getting worse.

Where can I get some ankle weights?

 

[Char. Limit]

You can always tell a good engineer by his ability for seeing the details. :!)

But if this were so he would notice that the radio program was Monday through Friday.

 

[HeLiXe]

Oh, right! So we're just going to have a chat to celebrate Blondie

Or Flayva Flav

TOTAL opposite for me. :shy: so many times in the last few days I have gotten myself tangled in something or tripped falling flat. The worst was when I went to catch someone who was feeling light headed and after lowering him to the floor I find a 250 lb man laying face up, out cold on top of me. I don't think I'm going any where but then I didn't buy a ticket either. Have fun all.

 

[atyy]

Planning on it.

I wonder what the nut predicting this will say when he's still here tomorrow.

It's like entering the event horizon. Nothing noticeable happens.

Dang. Maybe it's going to take more time than one day to rapture everyone.

Tune in at 10 pm for the exciting conclusion of "rapture", only on your local Nutcase Radio affiliate!

 

[lisab]

Every PF chat is a rapture chat.

 

[Ivan Seeking]

And on the last day, the wretched will chat in the place where I am not allowed

John 32:1
Paul 5:2
Ringo 16:16

You up and got yourself banned on judgement day!?

He's going to have a real problem with that because he has said emphatically that there is no way he is wrong, and he has no plan B.

 

[Lacy33]

I just heard there is suppose to be a huge earthquake too.
I want to know who gave him the kabbalah book!?

You left out George...

I liked http://www.georgeharrison.com/" .

 

[I like Serena]

Is there anyone out there?
I haven't seen anything anymore since 7 am (Western Europe).
Did the world end?

Kate Brewster: John, what is he saying?
John Connor: Judgment Day. The end of the world. It's today, three hours from now.
Terminator: Two hours and fifty-three minutes.

I feel so alone.

Shalom! You are NOT alone... A little more chicken soup?

 

[I like Serena]

Yes please!

And shalom!

 

[Borek]

I asked Greg and he didn't say no, so I guess that we're on.

What time should we start?

If nothing happens, I will try to log in 17:45.

Edit: but then, I have some plans for today, so if I am not present it doesn't yet mean world ended.

 

[JaredJames]

The world's ending and PF plans a chat...

 

[Borek]

I feel cheated - no reports about 18:00 local time earthquakes in Japan.

 

[atyy]

According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rapture "Sir Isaac Newton proposed, based upon his calculations using figures from the book of Daniel, that the Apocalypse could happen no earlier than 2060."

I'm not sure how large the relativistic and quantum corrections are to that.

 

[Borek]

Any results from Einstein?

 

[atyy]

Any results from Einstein?

My take is it should be like entering the event horizon.

http://motls.blogspot.com/2011/05/rapture-will-take-place-today.html#more gives an ingenious way for saintly PFers to avoid being raptured so you can continue to post on PF tomorrow.

 

[Darken-Sol]

did i miss the rapture? i was asleep.

 

[turbo]

18:00 local time, D-S. No telling if it sweeps across the Earth like a sunrise or hits entire time-zones at once. The "prophet" wasn't too specific.

 

[Ryan_m_b]

Didn't the prophet priest claim that it would happen 6pm "American standard time" even though no such thing exists?

 

[Darken-Sol]

how come all the christians don't believe in the rapture? is that a deal breaker?

 

[DaveC426913]

It's not about not believing in it, it's about carving the date in stone. That's wholly man-made.

The Bible explicitly says that only God knows when it will occur.

Matthew 24:36 - Jesus is quoted saying; "But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only"
