If it does happen, HOW exactly will it happen?

I highly dought any amount of the sun would melt before it hits us cause even the tinist piece is most likey twice our size

 

What makes you think that ANY bit of the Sun would break off from itself? The Sun has such a ridiculously high gravity, that it pulls in everything out to Pluto and far beyond, so why would a piece of the Sun itself ever break off?

 

Besides, the Sun is a giant gaseous ball of fire...so it can't exactly 'melt', and even if a piece of it broke off, we'd be like a match in a blast furnace, and we wouldn't even know what hit us before it even got going.

The picture shows the sun with a huge solar prominence. Special cameras were used to take the picture. Do not ever view the sun without special eye protection or filters. Staring at the sun can permanently blind your eyes!

 

The sun is mostly hydrogen with about 10% helium and other elements. The nuclear reaction in the core changes the hydrogen to helium and releases tremendous amounts of energy as light, heat, x-rays, and high speed particles. As this happens the constant churning of the gases causes an intense magnetic field and other effects. Sunspots, solar winds, prominences and flares are some of these effects.

 

so you got me there but I was just brainstormin!

Rogue black holes

 

Our galaxy is full of black holes, collapsed stellar corpses just a dozen miles wide. How full? Tough question. After all, they're called black holes for a reason. Their gravity is so strong they swallow everything, even the light that might betray their presence. David Bennett of Notre Dame University in Indiana managed to spot two black holes recently by the way they distorted and amplified the light of ordinary, more distant stars. Based on such observations, and even more on theoretical arguments, researchers guesstimate there are about 10 million black holes in the Milky Way. These objects orbit just like other stars, meaning that it is not terribly likely that one is headed our way. But if a normal star were moving toward us, we'd know it. With a black hole there is little warning. A few decades before a close encounter, at most, astronomers would observe a strange perturbation in the orbits of the outer planets. As the effect grew larger, it would be possible to make increasingly precise estimates of the location and mass of the interloper. The black hole wouldn't have to come all that close to Earth to bring ruin; just passing through the solar system would distort all of the planets' orbits. Earth might get drawn into an elliptical path that would cause extreme climate swings, or it might be ejected from the solar system and go hurtling to a frigid fate in deep space.

Global war

 

Together, the United States and Russia still have almost 19,000 active nuclear warheads. Nuclear war seems unlikely today, but a dozen years ago the demise of the Soviet Union also seemed rather unlikely. Political situations evolve; the bombs remain deadly. There is also the possibility of an accidental nuclear exchange. And a ballistic missile defense system, given current technology, will catch only a handful of stray missiles- assuming it works at all. Other types of weaponry could have global effects as well. Japan began experimenting with biological weapons after World War I, and both the United States and the Soviet Union experimented with killer germs during the cold war. Compared with atomic bombs, bioweapons are cheap, simple to produce, and easy to conceal. They are also hard to control, although that unpredictability could appeal to a terrorist organization. John Leslie, a philosopher at the University of Guelph in Ontario, points out that genetic engineering might permit the creation of "ethnic" biological weapons that are tailored to attack primarily one ethnic group

It will not happpen and here is why

 

They say by 2000 all Computers will not work again. Well that never happened did it. They reason is why is because it was a lie, or it was going to happen but we put lot of money and work to stop it. Lots now about this 2012 and I am sure people are working to stop it.

BTW if the government knew the end was near they wouldnt tell us duh lol talk about riot and looting

"HOW exactly will it happen?"

 

1) Obama will lose the 2012 election, declare a state of 'national emergency' and refuse to leave office. (He will call Janet Reno out of retirement to head up the newly founded American version of the Gestapo/Smersh to put down any resistence in the House or Senate).

 

2) Bush 2 will finally tell the world what he was doing between 1982 and 1997 (he was in brothel in Nuevo Laredo, high on cocaine).

 

3) It will be revealed there really ARE 600 Commandments, NOT 10. (We are sooo screwed.)

 

4) A Yorkie lap dog belonging to a Mrs. Buttleham on Brewhouse Street, Putney will talk. (He'll ask for Thai Green Curry with tiger prawns and a pint of Boddington's Pub Ale).

 

5) The U.S. Secretary of the Treasury, Timothy Geithner will return to the North Pole to make toys. (He'll eventually be fired by Santa Claus concerning an altercation with a reindeer.)

 

*all of this is in good fun, btw. :biggrin:
