I have told many and one time in high school talked with both an ecologist and a astrologist about the development of the universe.
If you guys watch enough netflix you guys probably already seen the documentaries about the universe, the sun and our planets.
During one of these visits to USC, I talked to both these guys and we had a 4 hour discussion at a local bar in Los Angeles. For most of the first 2 hours I didn't say much until I got the nerve to and I asked them both this.
Whether you are religious or not, in the Bible , in the pyramids , in old tales and through out history, the Sun and fire always seem to be the reason for natural disasters that have ended civilizations throughout history.
So I asked them both, "what are the chances that in our galaxy, the milky way, the human race began in Mercury and made its way towards what we now know as Earth".
They both then asked me to give me more detail about my question, so I continued, "What if we started in Mercury, and after millions of years the Sun grew bigger, stronger, hotter thus engulfing Mercury and killing of the civilization that once existed there".
So in other words, our Bible tells us that the end will come in the form of Fire, it is written in Revelations, whether its because we, mankind blow ourselves up or some other civilization makes it here on time to try and save us and we decide to battle it out with them because we think we are getting invaded, its going to happen.
So say that the Bible's story took its course in Mercury and "God" battled it out with Evil, well the end of "that" world took place and the chosen few were saved and rescued and sent to "paradise" God's Heaven.
This "God" then decides to spread the chosen few around this new world, this new beginning telling them that they have to follow these rules, his Bible, or they go to hell.
This new world is now "Venus" and the same thing that happened to Mercury happens to Venus in a few million years. The story of the Bible and God are passed on down somehow and now we are in Earth, the Dinosaurs happens, the Cavemen happens, the stone age and ice age and everything in between.
Somehow this Civilization that we all know, the Human Race, has survived many natural disasters, but inevitable is yet to come!
We are going to end in fire, its inevitable, the Bible says it, history says it and our hunger, selfishness and greed to have power, money and fame is ultimately going to be our demise.
Yeah, we might end up getting a solar flare storm that fucks up our atmosphere and we burn down, we might blow ourselves up in the form of a nuclear or atomic war, or we might see the coming of Jesus and God to fight evil, either way we will burn.
This conversation I had with these two Professors was something that really made me open up to many possibilities and theories about our universe, mankind and what to expect from the future.
Unless we all figure out a way to use the power that we all have, whether solar, electrical, nuclear, atomic, hydro what ever it is, we are going to end ourselves.
We need to all come together and start thinking about how we are going to get to that next planet and start colonizing it, how to live together in harmony and learn how to share each others knowledge without expecting anything in return.
Knowledge is power and right now we have a very smart man still living, his name is the Dalai Lama who is trying to get us all to see that we are just around the corner from completely destroying this civilization for good. We might not even have enough time to save enough to send out to colonize another planet or galaxy, how fucked up is that?
