Are people in ONTD naturally that dense or do they practice in front of a mirror or something?

If our sun turned into a black hole the planet would slowly start to freeze as we are no longer receiving heat from the sun. Assuming we have no way of using an artificial light source to keep plants alive, they die first because they need light for photosynthesis.

Animals that feed on plants go next and I think you can figure it out from there. The scavengers will last the longest, and may even survive by eating each other.

We would not be sucked into the black hole unless the event horizon is massive. Gravity decreases quickly with distance which is why the planets are not pulled towards the sun.

Although I do think ZLURP is an AWESOME sound effect.

THANK YOU. Planets merely follow the spacetime curvature created by the sun.

I personally want to slap everyone who think that black holes are automatically vacuums. They just don't work that way. You can pass right above one and not even know it; you literally have to know where it is and deliberately enter its depths to be sucked. Oy.

Doesn't the Mayan calendar just STOP, without really specifying a date for the end of the world?

Feel free to point and laugh if I am wrong.

it does just stop, yes. on that particular date. so conclusions have been drawn.

It does just stop, but the big, coherent theory is that it's a cyclical calendar which starts over immediately after that. That's the end, if i'm not mistaken, of the fifth cycle.

Yup. Nobody has found any prophecies for the 6th age as yet, which is why the whole 'world is going to end' thing started.
