Nyrath Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 http://news.discovery.com/space/star-goes-rogue-in-untimely-collision.html It's a solid doomsday prediction that in about 5 billion years the dying sun will expand as a bloated red giant and engulf the Earth. But imagine if in just a few weeks the middle-aged sun suddenly ballooned out to the orbit of Saturn and immediately vaporized Earth and most of the other planets in the solar system! And, even before this happened, imagine that every morning you awoke the sun was ever more sweltering until it began evaporating the oceans, spontaneously starting forests ablaze, and melting asphalt! I'm sure evil game masters can use this for a diabolical plot seed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On another hand, it seems we just witnessed the first use of a weapon of stellar destruction of some sort... Some alien nation must have bombed this enemy system with a new super weapon in order to stop a long and hard conflict... and ominate it's sector of the galaxy! We're all doomed; how could we compete against such power??? Let's drink, as the end of humanity, as we knew it, is at hand... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I think there are a couple of bad Japanese movies with a plot similar to that. "Message from Space " springs to mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
