Apocalypse 2015: The world could end in the near future
If you keep up with the latest news from crazy Christian death cults you’ll know that the world is due to end on September 15 this year.
Doomsday will arrive to coincide with a spectacular eclipse, the lunatics claim, so you should be sure to have your binoculars ready as well as making your peace with God.
But what weapon will the big man upstairs choose to kill us all, if He doesn’t go with traditional methods of erasing his creation, such as the Four Horsemen or the Great Beast?
Here are a few plausible doomsday scenarios with at least some basis in scientific fact – although, we feel obliged to point out, it’s very, very unlikely any of them will happen this century, let alone by September…
A respected physicist and author, John Brandenberg, has claimed that intelligent life once flourished on Mars – but was annihilated by a nuclear attack so intense it left the planet cold and lifeless.
The author has urged that a human mission to the planet be mounted immediately – in case we are in danger from the attackers who ‘killed’ Mars.
Brandenberg said that many of the nuclear isotopes in Mars’s atmosphere ‘resemble those from hydrogen bombs on Earth’ and hypotheses in a new book, ‘Death on Mars’, that a humanoid race once lived there but was wiped out.
‘This Martian civilization apparently perished due to a planet-wide catastrophe of unknown origin,’ he writes, citing craters visible on the surface near the Curiosity Rover. ‘Was it a massive nuclear attack?’
