Out of boredom today i thought to myself "is there anything going on for 11/11/11"?After chuckling to myself over the idea i found some interesting stuff that i didn't even know about.

Is it just a joke,like Harold Camping's rapture,or i there some truth behind this?

I find it interesting nonetheless ,but was curious what your guys take on the matter is.

Here is a couple of things i found on the topic.

11/11/11,A Portal Opens



Discuss.
 
Maybe share some of the info in the video, because 41 minutes is a bit too much to watch.

I know the video is a bit long,but it tells everything in that video.

I'm going to have to watch it again just to be able to re-process everything that was mentioned.It is very interesting and well worth the 41 minutes.

*edit* I do remember snippets(gonna have to watch it again)but it does mention the mayan calendar and it shows the ying and yang symbol a lot.It also mentions how people trying to be nice and change things in the world just causes more evil.Confusing you say,i understand as am in the same boat.

They do know it's 11/11/2011 and it's only really a date significant to Christians anyway, right?

From the video it says more about buddhism and other cultures than it does christians.If i remember right it says the complete opposite of what you are saying.

It was too much to absorb in one setting.It's like one of those movies that put your mind in a twist and the only way to see what you missed is to watch it again(which i will do later).
 
Yes. My life will be eaten.




....The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim comes out.

Beyond that, it's a Friday, which means that the last six to eight hours are the start of Shabbos. A Sabbath of gaming. :)
 
Am I the only one that can't wait until 2013 so all these nut-job theorists will shut up because there are no more aligning dates?

Also, according to VH1 it's National Metal Day, fairly certain they just made it up though.

Indeed, but the date is only the date it is on a calendar invented and refined according to the time since the estimated birth of Christ - it's 2011 AD/CE. Other cultures have other calendars that don't count from when someone else's holy figure was (possibly) born...

I'm with you man.

I find it all interesting to say the least,but 2013 needs to get here fast.

Interesting.

I absorb so much info just coming to GTPlanet.👍
 
I'm going to an air show on the 11th in Pensacola. That's right on the gulf coast, so if something happens and the water rises, I'm doomed.

But it's in the Central time zone, so I'll have to note what's going on at 11 seconds after 11:11. Assuming I still can.

Um, you do know that these stupid number alignments happen all the time. Like in 2001, there was January 1st, 2001, i.e. 01-01-01, then in 2002 there was February 2nd, i.e. 02-02-02, and in 2003 there was March 3rd, which was 03-03-03, and in 2004 . . . . well, maybe you see my point by now.

Oh, yeah. That's happened every century since they made the Julian (then Gregorian) calendar.

I am simply astonished that people can make so much crap out of numbers. 2000 was going to be the end of the world! 12-12-12 is going to be the end of the world! The planets are aligning for armegeddon! (Really? What do the planets know about it?!!?) All the signs are nigh! The antichrist has arrived as the Ayatolla Khomeini. Or Bill Clinton.

No, wait, it was Saddam Hussein.

No, not him, either. It was that Libyan dude.

Prediction is very hard, especially about the future. Yogi Berra.

BTW, I didn't even try to look at the video. I wasted enough time trying to be silly in this post.
 
11/11/11 is the next release of Stone Vertical Epic. That's about the only significance the date has to me.

There are always and will always be nutjob theories about dates. After 2012 there won't be any fewer.

Is the next one 2027 or 2034?

This is when we are supposed to be hit by a Meteor/Asteroid.Whichever year it is I would have to say it will be a stressful one.I'll be in my 50's when this happens,hopefully i don't have a heart attack :scared:

I'm guessing that you're referring to 99942 Apophis. Astronomers initially thought that there was a very low chance of it hitting the Earth 2029, but apparently there's no chance of that happening anymore. However, there is still a chance that the same Asteroid could impact the Earth in 2036, but again, there is a low likelihood of that actually happening.

There's also a remote chance that an Asteroid will hit us in 2182, but I wouldn't worry too much about that.

Well that's good to know.

On the 2182 one,unless they figure out how to make us live longer,none of us will have to worry about that one.
 
that asteroid was actually classed as a 5 in the beginning so we thought the chance would be pretty big.

New calculations came in and it´s now at level 1 or 2 i believe. Basically the chance of it hitting us the first time 2029 is 0.01% or smaller.

The problem is that we don´t really know about 2036 yet because we can´t be sure exactly where the asteroid will pass and how the earth´s gravity will affect it.

If it now will indeed change course from the calculated one we still have some time to figure out a way to move the asteroid before it´s to late.

If it would hit for some reason the impact would be around 65.000 Hiroshima bombs.
and will blow out a place as big as Europe.

Apophis peaked as a Torino 4. Here's a handy post about the Torino Scale I made in October.

Isn't the most likely one to impact the Earth 2011 AG5, not 2001 AG5? I hadn't even heard of that NEO until I read the post you linked to, although it was only discovered at the very beginning of this year.


Also, 1999 RQ36 (i.e. the 2182 Asteroid that I mentioned before) isn't on the Sentry Risk Table, seeing as that table only applies to Asteroids that have a chance of hitting Earth within the next 100 years.

If it does pose a threat to Earth, then obviously our descendants would have to deal with the situation. At the moment there is a 1-in-1000 chance of it hitting us, but quite a lot can happen over the course of 170 years. Who knows, the path of that Asteroid might change so much that it will pose no thread to us at all. Again though, I wouldn't fret about it.

Well it couldn't be a specific date related to Christianity such as the date of the rapture as I'm some might think it is. Remember that one back in May or whenever? lol
I'm a Christian and believe the rapture will happen in the not too distant future, but I also read the Bible and regarding the rapture: "No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father." Mark 13: 32

So that's not it. I think some people spend so much time looking for hidden messages that they can't read the plain text.

What's on my mind for 11/11/11 is Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. Also, I'm thinking about how I don't have enough money to get it and how that makes me sad.
 
If Apophis passes through a 'gravitational keyhole' (only about half a mile wide) on it's next close approach to Earth, then it will probably be sent on a tragectory that would cause it to impact the Earth. However I'm sure we'll have time to intercept it, destroy it, or send it on a course that would crash it into the moon, which would be a pretty exciting event for the astronomers among us. :)

I typed it correctly in the first part, incorrectly in the second. Too many 0s and 1s :D
