The world will end

1st by a huge flood (covering all land)
2nd solar flare

A severe class distinction would occur, and the poor and working class would be immediately killed off through all three of these scenarios. No guarantee, however, that the better off survive.

#1. Dam up low-end places as much as possible. Gain the highest ground they can possibly find. If it covers all land, they build massive...well...arks and float around until the waters recede.

#2. A solar flare would kill pretty much everyone. No way to survive that, as far as I can see. Correct me if I am wrong.

#3. Depending on the size, the better off can find a place that won't be primarily affected by it. The crazier kind can try to detonate the asteroid with a nuclear missile.

The movie's budget would be too small to foot the bill 😂

dig 50 metric tons and live in the ground...

buy their way onto a spaceship and live on mars or pluto..

become governor or president

Normal solar flares are no threat to people on Earth. I doubt our Sun can produce one powerful enough to wipe out humanity, certainly not if we have a lot of warning.

Like that movie Knowing?

I think that was a solar flare that killed the Earth

No, a parasol.

But seriously it depends on how much warning. If it's just 15 minutes (supposedly a realistic time frame) there wouldn't even be time to convince people the threat was real. If we had a few days people would have time to be directed to cave systems where they can hide. If it's a few years those caves could be reinforced and lined with radiation resistant material.

In this situation it sounds like we have a lot of warning.

Thanks for reinforcing my point. The planet would indeed change into another asteroid belt. You see, nothing is ever created or destroyed but, instead, just changes. It's scientific law. Specifically, the law of conservation of matter and energy.

sigh...you said that the world would not end... seeing as the asteroid is not a world it by definition would cease to be a world..

cute how you tried to use science and the whole laws of conservation to try to defend ur original post..

i am newer here
just say hallo to you

I love that total existence failure one.

Faith in what...?

Not your typical Solar flare. Mostly hollywood BS. On the other-hand, with all this seismic activity going on in the past 2-3 (and 10 major earthquakes this year alone), I wouldn't be surprised if earth is going through a major change.

Cyclones destroying 50,000 homes, rains in Rio, and now a POTENTIAL earth changing volcano in Iceland, this looks like 2012, just 2 years earlier. 😱

I'd say a Super Volcano going off in Indonesia or in Yellowstone is more likely than the 3 above. Earthquakes can trigger other quakes and volcanoes.

Okay.

Solar Flares happen all the time. Some of them are huge. We survive them, every time.

Not only do we have Bruce Willis, we also have Tom HANKS! 😄

Unless they finish that 'evacuation to Mars' plan (forced global warming to make Mars like Earth in 100 years) then we'd all die. Not even the exaggerated movies have saved the planet that well.

What's even cuter is how it worked.

Also, you said that the world would end and then turn into an asteroid belt (which is kind of laughable) and you're arguing that it wouldn't be a change? Think about what you're saying.

Turn into = change. Your original post:
