So, I am still getting stupid stuff in the comments section. Ah well, things like that will happen. Oh did you hear the latest thing in new Conspiracy Theory's of the Detrimental type. There is a Photon Belt coming to Earth. We are about to pass through this "Photon Belt." It comes around every so many thousand years. Don't remember exactly when now. But it will just about tear this planet apart. OMG
Yeah, well your cell phone, computers, anything electronic will shut down. The winds will triple in strength, climatic disturbances, earthquakes, tidal waves, pole shifting. Yeah just about EVERYTHING is going to happen. Can you say SHIT HIT THE FAN???
Anyway, if you take a second and REALLY check the story out.......come to find out two college kids in a science class during the early 80's decided to see if they could rock the boot with a Climate Catastrophy story. They need to do a thesis and they used this idea for that. The first part of the paper was how they would have it published etc. The second half illustrated the thoughts and information for the basis of the Photon Belt. When they turned the paper into their professor he only gave them a C because it wasn't published yet. Said if they could get a paper to run with it then they might get an A. Two weeks later it was picked up by some of the "World is coming to an end" guys and they ran with it. The kids got an A.
Seems, there isn't anything closely resembling a Photon Belt out in space. One of the two kids who dreamed up the story was a big Star Trek fan (gotta love this part) and loved to hear Captain Kirk tell Sulu "Fire Photon Torpedo's" Sooooooo, Hence, Photon Belt.
Hey mr. reptilian council dude - did you read this??????? You might get another book out of this theory
