Yellowstone (from the YVO): The rate of earthquake occurrence in the Madison Plateau area is now at background levels. The swarm began on January 17, 2010 around 1:00 PM MST about 10 miles (16 km) northwest of the Old Faithful area on the northwestern edge of Yellowstone Caldera. Swarms have occurred in this area several times over the past two decades.
When will Yellowstone erupt again?
We do not know. Future volcanic eruptions could occur within or near Yellowstone National Park for the simple reason that the area has a long volcanic history and because there is hot and molten rock, or magma, beneath the caldera.
•The most likely type of eruption would not be volcanic but, rather, hydrothermal. This type of small, but still explosive eruption can occur from shallow reservoirs of steam or hot water rather than molten rock.
I don't know what else to tell you about the prophecy of the popes. It is believed to be a fraud. When it was first published, it only had popes up until that time. If it had been written by Saint Malachy, don't you think it would have been written down during his lifetime, and have included the popes through the 112th? I believe I told you about the Cardinal who wanted to be the next pope. The so-called prophecy called the next pope shepherd and sailor. This cardinal filled a boat with sheep and sailed up and down the Tiber River so he would fit the "prophecy." I don't know about you, but I find this ludicrous.
The LHC has been back online for a few months and we're not dead yet. I think the physicists working with it know quite a lot more than we do about it. It seems unlikely that they would be doing things that would destroy them along with the rest of the world.
You seem to be looking for things to be afraid of. The prophecy of the popes is BS, the LHC isn't going to destroy the world, and Yellowstone isn't expected to have a volcanic eruption in the next millennium. It is 92,000 years away from the USGS even considering calling it overdue for a caldera forming eruption.
I don't know what else to tell you except that I have lived through numerous "doomsdays." Maybe after you have been through a few more of them, you'll stop believing all the silly things you see on the internet or the Hysteria Channel.
