I Had a look on the space weather website and there was a concern

What is the concern? Nothing will happen out of the blue. THat's not how the universe works. Plus, solar flare activity is very low right now and even if it was high it would disrupt communications satellites.

And 1359 potentially hazardous asteroids? Do you have a link for that? Because that's highly unlikely.

'Potentially hazardous' is the definition of anything that comes within 19 times the average distance from the Earth to the Moon.

That's akin to saying a car driving 19 blocks down the street might be a risk, but chances are it'll keep driving wherever it was driving, nowhere near you.

Google has an in built calculator and unit conversion tool, so if you spot any strange numbers, search for them 'in meters' or 'in miles' and so on. You'll find space to be pretty darn big.

Potentially Hazardous Asteroids are currently defined as those with an Earth Minimum Orbit Intersection Distance (MOID) of 0.05 AU (7.5 million km or 4.65 million miles) or less, and are at least 150 meters (500 ft) in size. These are just space rocks millions of miles away.
This hasn't changed, you know. You've lived with this situation all your life. The fact that now you know about it doesn't make it any more hazardous than it has ever been.

I read on a post some Doomtards are changing their mind

ade32 20 Dec 2012 05:32

I read on a post that some that some doomtards are changing their out look. However after seeing what i seen on you tube a few months ago I feel scared still :(

They are now saying that the world won't end and there will be a transformation.. new age junk. They are already backpedaling.

Please don't believe everything on you tube. It's a terrible website.

No asteroids are near us and none pose a risk. There was one that will pass us in 2019… but that's in 7 years. It will be pretty far away.

www.spaceweather.com it was put on the Debate regarding my friend is scared :(

THere is nothing unusual there. There are no asteroids that pose a risk to earth. Most are far away from us… and as I said there won't be another one for a while. I believe there is a comet in a few months but it's far too. Maybe one of our resident astronomers can talk about it as this isn't my field of expertise.

I was out taking the trash tonight; nothing unusual in the sky, just the pretty stars :). So how are you tonight gcarini?

Re: I Had a look on the space weather website and there was a concern

gcarini1985 20 Dec 2012 05:42

I'm doing well. It's a cool but pleasant night here. Nothing unusual in the sky. I'm doing well.

metalangel 20 Dec 2012 05:48

Same here. Almost a year later after I discovered this site, I feel my mind is finally at rest and I learned to think rationally.

Im a 34 year old guy and cryed about this

ade32 20 Dec 2012 05:39

Ive never been so scared in my life, ive cried, sleepless nights, panick attacks, all of which have got worse in the past week, weather makes me paranoid, a lot of rain due in the uk today and tomorror, with strong winds as well. I will be ok saturday when then i will feel ore assured.

So nothing can just happen out the Blue?

ade32 20 Dec 2012 05:43

So nothing can just happen like that to earth tomorrow then?

Re: So nothing can just happen out the Blue?

gcarini1985 20 Dec 2012 05:44

Rest be assured everything will be fine. Asteroids and comets are monitored endlessly by many people… and none are posing any threat to the world.

We are all here for you. :)

You're going to be okay :). I'm here for you if you need me. Weather is weather; yeah we might be dealing with global warming and stupid weather, but there aren't any ties to doomsday.

people think im nuts

ade32 20 Dec 2012 05:46

people think im nuts, they ask where I got it from, I said you tube and they laughed.

@ade32
You're going to have to stay away from those videos because they're fake. If you wanna go on YouTube, look up some positive things, like music.

Re: people think im nuts

nzder2012 20 Dec 2012 05:57

youtube is good for music vids and if you like watching some funnies, like these fail compilations, but searching 2012 info on youtube, not a good idea.

Re: I Had a look on the space weather website and there was a concern

metalangel 20 Dec 2012 05:59

They have movies on there too sometimes. I like to look up arcade game collections every now and then too.

I intend to stay away from such videos!!

ade32 20 Dec 2012 06:01

Its learnt me a lesson, i will just watch videos on music and my favourite football team, I was sucked into the 2012 Olympics conspiricy claims that the Illuminati was planning somthing major and that it would be bombed, these also said 9/11 was inside job etc. it was about that time i watched the doom videos, now im worked up into a state and dont know, who and what to believe any more :(
