So basically they have no clue on when it will be seen or if it's going to explode but put the year 2012 on there for some conspiracy fun?
inane little opines
Some of the comments are so retarded, they think they're being smart asses by saying if it explodes in 2012 we'll only see it 600 years later. Obviously what is meant that the light reaches us around 2012, it exploded ages ago if it did and will reach us in 2012 (which it won't, cos nothing cool like that ever happens)Morpheus wrote:

But no, I figured a minute later, this story would blow over. So to speak.
I should’ve known: instead of going away, it gets picked up by that bastion of antiscience, The Huffington Post.
Grrrr.
that would be pretty cool yo, but would make trying to sleep a bit of a bitch!
I hope this does happen. Seems like one if those things you wanna have in your lifetime.
From mid-June to mid-July, it's bright pretty much all the time over here, so I can vouch for that. Trying to sleep is more difficult.bennisboy wrote:

That's why, if this happens (which it probably won't during our lifetimes, but if), I hope happens in the winter. For one, Betelgeuse is up in the Northern sky in the winter, goes below the horizon in the summer. Secondly, it's dark all the time, so it'd make for awesomesauce. Then again, it could just be a bright spot in the sky. Woop.
Neutrinos eh?
I need around tree fiddy.

I don't think a lead spacesuit would do much good either. I don't know actual numbers but I think you'd need a shield thicker than, say, the distance between Earth and the Sun to stop them all.*

Maybe it thinks you wanted to say continued but really really retarded.
I remember being told something at a uni visit about them... don't remember what i was told though as i was too busy talking to one of the students about a double pendulum experiment which I thought was

double pendulums are pretty damn awesome
they were setting off two at the same time and displacement and trying to predict what would happen. Blew my mind
