Have you any knowledge in Astronomy?
Do you? Does anyone? Everytime something goes wrong, the world scientists always say we f*cked up. The truth is no one knows. So, we all make a guess and settle with it.
Sometimes, if someone mentions something outside the norm, we criticize and say things to make them feel or look bad infront of others to make us righter than them. In some cases, the people who joke end up being the joke.
Some people will never open their minds and until it's to late.
I myself am curious and wonder what exactly is out there.
If a crazy man ran down the street saying, "It's coming it's coming". I won't just say look at that crazy f*cker... Well, I might at first, but still I will wonder what he's talking about and ask just to see why he's doing it.
Astronomy happens to be a hobby of mine. I can tell you right now, that none of these pics you have been posting make any sense. A star 20,000 ly distant doesn't pose a threat to us. A supernova remnant located in the center of the galaxy also poses no threat.
I am not criticizing you and certainly am not trying to make you look bad, I am merely trying to get you to understand that the 'proof' you keep posting amounts to nothing more than bad science.
I, too, am curious to see whats out there, but in order to do that, you have to take the time to learn about the science of subject at hand. Nobody knows what (If anything) is going to happen in 2012. But I can almost guarantee you that a giant rouge planet isn't going to be rolling around these parts.
Asteroids and comets, on the other hand
do pose a major and very real threat to humanity. Your giant tsunami of doom isn't far off. However, we are actively trying to see out all near-earth asteroids (NEO's), but that doesn't mean we are in the clear. Those things can and have come at us from out of nowhere.
Comets more so than asteroids as they are harder to detect. we cannot usually see them until they pass the orbit of Jupiter when the gasses start heating up and forming the comet's tail. If a comet did show up out of nowhere and did pose a threat to Earth, we would only have a month or so to prepare. That isn't a lot of time for us to get something together... At least not presently.
