Interesting! I m skeptical of everything nowadays. Even that, i wonder who's benefiting from this kind of "news release"? So many more urgent things to deal with here, on earth. Though this is obviously a source of concern. IP: Logged |

quote: The researchers looked at 2,501 possible scenarios, 25 of which ended with a severely disrupted solar system."There is one scenario in which Mars passes very close to earth," 794 kilometres to be exact, said Laskar. "When you come that close, it is almost the same as a collision because the planets get torn apart." Life on earth, if there still were any, would almost certainly cease to exist.
Can someone explain that please? It could happen with one out of a possible 2,501 scearios? That the odds? IP: Logged |

Hi Lara (My best smile!!)Coffee - maybe one of 2501 scenarios is that Mars will not pass close to Earth!! I think collisions are a frequent Universe event. But collisions do make me wonder, considering everything is moving away from each other and has been since the Big Bang. The question is.... does this effect our personal planetary aspects? furrows brow, purses lips while deep in intellectual thought IP: Logged |

Well if mars is floating around between saturn and uranus or neptune and pluto, of course that things will be changed. EVERYTHING will be different. Will saturn still be on the same orbit? True though, how fascinating it is to see the solar system as "alive", a bit like earth and the formation of mountains, continents...IP: Logged |
