Earth may be approaching super-hot gas cloud (but nothing will happen) - Polidicks

The human race will be dead before this happends anyway.

[QUOTE=declan;22168294]The human race will be dead before this happends anyway.[/QUOTE] In a century? No.

That happens quite often, you know.

[QUOTE=Haxxer;22166268]So, if we haven't fixed our ozone layers in a hundred years, we're basically fucked when it comes to the radiation?[/QUOTE] Well the ozone hole over Antartica has been shrinking for quite some time now so that's not really too frightening.

Time to hit the store and get some sun block!

Well that's just great. Now we have to listen to retards yelling "APOCALYPSE 2112!" for the next century.

Phew! at least I can live life without getting burnt like an ant by a microscope!

Someone else be OP

[QUOTE=Occlusion;22166901]I don't understand how we pass through 1000000oC gas and aren't effected.[/QUOTE] The density is so low the entire solar system could pass through it without so much as encountering an atom.

[quote]"The Sun frequently traverses various clouds of interstellar gas during its galactic journey," says co-author Dr Andrzej Czechows from the Space Research Centre of the Polish Academy of Sciences. Such clouds are of very low density - much lower than the best vacuum obtained in Earth labs. Once in, he says, the heliosphere will reform and may shrink a little and the level of cosmic radiation entering the magnetosphere may rise a bit - but that's all.[/quote] So this happens all the time and its completely safe? And think, I was scared of this 5 seconds ago. [i]I hate news stories like this.[/i]

[QUOTE=Occlusion;22166901]I don't understand how we pass through 1000000oC gas and aren't effected.[/QUOTE] It's kind of like walking through sparks from someone grinding metal. They are incredibly hot, but you don't suffer any serious burns because they're tiny and far apart.

Yeah, sorry about that folks, I passed out on my stomach after that bad taco I ate at the park.

Well we had a good run. Guess it time to go rape every hot ass fine babe?

Imagine it like a Fluorescent Bulb, the temperatures inside are nearly 50,000 degrees Fahrenheit, but due to a low matter density, the bulb and everything around it isn't vaporized. After all, it is a plasma.

Rule 34 on said attractive gas cloud.

OMFG I GOT 100 YEARS TO LIVE! I NEED TO LOOSE MY VIRGINITY! /caps

Hehe the gas looks like a boob in the smaller picture heheh

oh no chaos cloud the theorists were right :tinfoil:

Half of the posters in this thread don't know what they're talking about or didn't read the article

[QUOTE=Haxxer;22176321]Half of the posters in this thread don't know what they're talking about or didn't read the article[/QUOTE] Indeed. Pity Bad Reading rating won't do anything...

I'm waiting for a nut-job group to declare this gas cloud to be the destroyer of earth, and then hold a fund raiser.

[QUOTE=Occlusion;22166901]I don't understand how we pass through 1000000oC gas and aren't effected.[/QUOTE] The "gas" is a particle here and there, spread in the space. It's spread so thin, that it's still emptier space than we have ever made inside our atmosphere.
