If you want something really weird to look at - get into a position to view the orbits of the first few planets of Sol, speed up time and watch Earths orbit (you have to speed time up a lot)... something is badly wrong there!

Ummm.... Earth's not supposed to do that... :confused:

Apparently it's a known problem and they'll be working on the mechanics further. But it's all still good.

Uhm, I hope it's a bug - that could be a nasty ending for the solar system... :lol:

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

Well there seems to be a hell of a lot of chunks of rock heading at Earth lately... how many of them are real remains to be seen...

I don't think it'll be that much of a problem, it happens something like 2 million years from now or so. :p

It was kinda fun watching all the planets eventually lose their orbits and disappear into nothingness after a few hundred thousand years. Laughingly inaccurate, but fun....



....at least, I hope it's inaccurate  :eek:
