well, not really. But let's say that a blackhole is coming toward Earth and we all will get pwned 20 years from now. What would you do in those 20 years? a basic timeline would be appreciated.

2006-2020 - Live.

20 years?

Well, live my life as normal. That's far too long a timespan for a 'go crazy, you're about to die' thread.

Not really. 20 years is barely enought to see the world (doing it the all-out way of course)

The odds are something terrible will happen to me before then, so I might as well just do what I do.

2006-2020 - Live.

2021-2026 - Die

OK. allow me to rephrase.

No one will die until the last day of Earth's existence.

I dont think I would live the same as I do now. I would certainly do a bit more living, of course, I'm assuming that if this happened that traditional money would be completely worthless.

In my remaining 20 years of life, I work to discover how to save us from the blackhole and find the answer in the last few minutes before we are all consumed/crushed/redistributed.

Just my luck!

Exactly what he said.

Move to Mars and watch the fireworks.

If I ha a ton of money, I'd travel teh world doing crazy stuff.

If there was a blackhole 20 lightyears away (assuming it's moving at close to the speed of light), we'd already be long dead. The gamma ray bursts would have sterilised Earth long ago. In any case, I'd probably contribute to the evacuation effort. We'd have to construct liferafts that could accelerate faster than the black hole is approaching or we're fucked.

For some reason that made me think of a better question for the thread: if you knew the world was going to end in 20 years, would you have children?

20 years?
Enjoy it while I can and try to convince others to do the same. (not to live in fear for 20 years)
If it's something like a black hole and there is nothing that can be done about it, why worry?

Build ze Raumschiff to leave Earth just in time! Deep space here I come... :D

Eat.

See if I could destroy my liver before the blackhole showed up.

I will pretend the black hole isn't going to fuck us over by repeating the manta: "the world won't end until it is not tomorrow in Australia."

Dunno really... that would be up to my GF... tho a honeymoon when the time comes might be in order...

You mean I have to wait 20 years?

Damn...

You mean I have to wait 20 years?

Damn...

Suicide would make the wait shorter... unless of course you mess that up, in which case you're stuck waiting with the rest of us.

I would probably spend it on NationStates General:eek:

I think they can do more than ONE attempt... :p

Immediately after the news broke I would certainly be on my toes watching out for those freaked out people who would immediately start acting up. Id avoid the dangerous ones the best I could and watch for any oppotunism I might indulge in with others.

Twenty years, eh? I'd just live it up, really... Then hope that some fantastic space-time fluctuation occurs when the black hole sucks all of us in. Think Rush's Cygnus saga, save for the out-of-body spirit thing. I'd rather keep my body or have a replacement, thanks.

I would question how the black hole is moving.

I would question how the black hole is moving.

Everything in the universe is moving. The Milky Way orbits the gravitational center of the universe at over 200km/s. The Andromeda galaxy is moving towards ours and will collide in a few billion years. We orbit the Sun at 30km/s. The universe is expanding.

20 years from now I'll be in my 50s, so I suppose that's not bad. Not the best life expectancy, but not the worst. I'd travel. I'd like to go to as many places in the world as I could, whether I am a hated American or not. I want to learn as much as I can about other countries firsthand. Learn the language, culture, history, customs, traditions, all of it.

Timeline? So I guess the first year would be spent robbing banks. The years to follow would be spent touring the world and evading law enforcement.

Everything's going to end 49 years after that anyway, so why not spend your money to try and TAKE OVER THE WORLD!?

Heres to hoping we're in the Pegasus galaxy by then. I, for one, do not like when super black holes collide.

I would like to know your reasoning behind that statement.

Yes, but pray tell why the blackhole is moving more swiftly than we are.

Well, apparently, his first year would be spent procuring massive quantities of money by robbing banks (and possibly economic schemes). Why, if the world is going to end 49 years after that, not use the huge sum of money to amass an army and attempt to take over the world?

I mean, death is going to come to everyone anyway. :p

But how would I get bananas on my feet? :D

That would be much more ambitious, but it would also be a bigger headache.

I'm not quite clear on what you mean.

Are you saying that you want to grow bananas on your feet? Use bananas as shoes? Rub bananas on your feet and hope that something wonderful happens?

NARF! :D

Never watched Animaniacs? Pinky and the Brain? Oh well.

You get a cookie. :fluffle:

make up for the past 6 years of not getting laid by throwing myself out there. and also i'd take as many mind altering drugs as possible in the hope of discovering the meaning of life before it's too late and there's no life to put any meaning to anymore. plus i'd steal lota of money and buy every car i've ever wanted and drive it to death. or i'd judt steal the cars. either way. i wanna driVE!
