The End of the World

— filed under: ,

I'd like to take a moment to remind everyone that the core of the reactor in Japan has melted. It is currently melting it's way through the crust of the Earth, and by this time tomorrow it will reach the Earth's core. At that time, the radioactive isotopes will follow the magnetic field lines of the magnetohydrodynamic system. This MHD system generates the Earth's magnetic field. But that's not important. What is important is that the extra mass from these radioisotopes will cause the MHD to slow and then to stop. The Earth's magnetic field will collapse in on itself, destroying the fragile core. The Earth will then go supernova, destroying this solar system and all others within four lightyears. That is all.

You've all been a great audience. I'm proud to have known you. Good night, and good luck.
