PLANET-DISSOLVING DUST CLOUD IS HEADED TOWARD EARTH! Monday September 12, 2005
By MIKE FOSTER
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. -- Scared-stiff astronomers have detected a mysterious mass they've dubbed a "chaos cloud" that dissolves everything in its path, including comets, asteroids, planets and entire stars -- and it's headed directly toward Earth!
Discovered April 6 by NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory, the swirling, 10 million-mile- wide cosmic dust cloud has been likened to an "acid nebula" and is hurtling toward us at close to the speed of light -- making its estimated time of arrival 9:15 a.m. EDT on June 1, 2014.
"The good news is that this finding confirms several cutting- edge ideas in theoretical physics," announced Dr. Albert Sherwinski, a Cambridge based astrophysicist with close ties to NASA.
"The bad news is that the total annihilation of our solar system is imminent."
Experts believe the chaos cloud is composed of particles spawned near the event horizon of a black hole (a form of what's called Hawking Radiation) that have been distorted by mangled information spewed from the hole.
"A super-massive black hole lies about 28,000 light-years from Earth at the center of our galaxy," explained Dr. Sherwinski.
"Last year the eminent physicist Stephen Hawking revised his theory of black holes -- which previously held that nothing could escape the hole's powerful gravitational field. He demonstrated that information about objects that have been sucked in can be emitted in mangled form.
"It now appears that mangled information can distort matter.
"Just imagine our galaxy the Milky Way as a beautiful, handwritten letter.
"Now imagine pouring a glass of water on the paper and watching the words dissolve as the stain spreads. That's what the chaos cloud does to every star or planet it encounters."
To avoid widespread panic, NASA has declined to make the alarming discovery public. But Dr. Sherwinski's contacts at the agency's Chandra X-ray Observatory leaked to him striking images of the newly discovered chaos cloud obliterating a large asteroid.
"It's like watching a helpless hog being dissolved in a vat of acid," one NASA scientist told Dr. Sherwinski.
Ordinarily, Hawkings Radiation is harmless.
"It's produced when an electron- positron pair are at the event horizon of a black hole," Dr. Sherwinski explained. "The intense curvature of space-time of the hole can cause the positron to fall in, while the electron escapes."
But when "infected" by mangled information from the black hole, the particles become a chaos cloud, which in turn mangles everything it touches.
"If it continues unchecked, the chaos cloud will eventually reduce our galaxy to the state of absolute chaos that existed before the birth of the universe," the astrophysicist warned.
Some scientists say mankind's best hope would be to build a "space ark" and hightail it to the Andromeda Galaxy, 2.1 million light-years away.
"We wouldn't be able to save the entire human population, but perhaps the best and the brightest," observed British rocket scientist Dr. David Hall, when asked about the feasibility of such a project.
But even if such a craft could be built in time, evacuating Earth might prove fruitless if theories about the origin of the chaos cloud are correct.
"A black hole at the center of Andromeda is about 15 times the size of the one in our own galaxy," Dr. Sherwinski noted. "It might be like jumping out of the frying pan into the fire."
Speaking under the condition of anonymity, a senior White House official said the president's top science advisors are taking the findings in stride.
"This is a lot like global warming, where the jury is still out on whether it's real or not," said the official.
"The existence of this so called chaos cloud is only a theory. Americans shouldn't panic until all the facts are in."

man i swear every 3 monthsi hear of some impending doom the earth is going to suffer from, all within the next few years, and NOTHING ever happens. I bet my farts are putting the world at more jeopardy then all these fearful stories from our friend the astronomer.

Document not found. I doubt this is real.
In all my studies of quantum physics and Hawking radiation, this doesn't seem to fit in first of all. And second of all, if it's travelling at the speed of light, we wouldn't know it's there until it hit us.

o great, my friend might be right. He's a hardcore christian thats been telling me about in his church people speak in tounges and that the world is ending soon, and when it does the blood of god will be on the moon. I laughed at him, if hes right damn im screwed.

That's the full link. Kinda strange that it's under TV: Entertainment News & Gossip though.

Don't worry, BatBoy and the fattest cat ever will join their formidable forces to save us from this terror! http://www.weeklyworldnews.com/features/science/61501
(and then the aliens will return Tupac and Elvis for a collaboration tour to finance the reptilians ongoing attempts to turn humanity into a breeder race)

this thrills me for some reason. regardless of whether or not it's true, I'm full of anticipation. Not anxiety; more like running down in the morning to unwrap your christmas presents -- anticipation.

I know what you mean. If this really were true, the chaos, especially near the "end", would be astronomical. Beyond spectacular. It would be every single riot, birthday party, celebration, war, new years eve and thanksgiving in history to the millionth power. It would be a sight to see.

It would indeed be a hell of a sight to see.
The amount of coke that would be put up my nose in my last days would be enough to supply a small ghetto with base for a year.

I'd stick with good old LSD.
If the world is going to end, I'd want to see it on 90 hits of blotter.
