Is this the Apocalyptic date?

[SpaceastronautX]

Hello KSP gamers. I had a very bad new that has ocurred a few minutes ago... It ocurred an enourmus aurora that was in the Sun. Well is amazing! But just when it was visible the Aurora has appear two earthquakes at the same time... One in Argentina of (I think 5.7) And other in New zeland of 7.9!! And it generated an Tsunami. And what is this abaut? We play space things right? Well is this: 1: It apppeard an Aurora (in Chile, I live there) and also tomorrow will succes an Super Moon that will appear again in 70 years.. And this is why we are in a Apocalypsis. Because this is a coincidence with the astros to 2 earthquakes. Apocalypsis? Illuminatis? KSP? Nobady knows

Is this scientific or an opinion?

-Earthquakes happen all the time. Big ones happen pretty often but not so often in places that affect people.

-The full moon is at perigee, so tidal forces are slightly stronger and you can see better at night. This happens occasionally.

-Solar flares occur pretty often but less often in our direction.

I think it's kind of rare for something like this to happen, and the Moon being at perigee might have had a small effect on plate tectonics to make a few extra earthquakes, but I'd wait to call it an apocalypse until a) Yellowstone erupts, b) something nearby goes supernova, c) something more than a kilometer wide hits Earth, or d) humans instantly ruin everything with their nukes or slowly ruin everything with fossil fuel use.

To my knowledge there's no known relation between solar activity and earthquakes. I think there have been hints of a relation between the moon's position and earthquakes, which has an obvious physical cause, but even then it's weak. There's no reason to think recent events are anything more than coincidental. Now if we had half a dozen major earthquakes in different places in a week, then I'd suspect something interesting.

Don't worry. Aliens will save us. We're all gonna be fine living with them on K-Pax.

Over the millennia hundreds, nay thousands of predictions of the end of the world have been made.  None have come to pass.

Maybe this is the one.

 

(But probably not.)

I do find it weird that all this stuff is happening on the same day. But rest assured, things will only get worse weirder. I mean, this is our second Supermoon in a row! This November is already breaking heat records in some places! Record-breaking oddities are just becoming more common, making our world more interesting. They won't cause us detrimental harm, right?

...Right?

Coincidences happen.

 

 

Or you could just say that it's the space illuminati.

Tomorrow night is the 'super moon'. Just like all super moons previously, and all that shall follow, it's quite pretty to look at being so close to Earth... thankfully, no clouds to obscure it for me tonight... hope the same will hold for tomorrow night. Kind of makes me wish I were a wolf, so I could sit there an howl at it. Of course, my neighbors would not appreciate this.

Oops, what was I thinking... a day early.

Apocalypse isn't happening.

If it was truly the end, nothing would be normal. Which would mean I would talk to people.

I don't.

i had a 7.something earthquake here. but since i live in the middle of nowhere it didnt get reported. especially scary when the water table and ground level are the same and everything is built on piles. liquefaction and building collapse becomes an issue. fortunately wooden foundations like those tend to be good at absorbing vibrations. its the earth reminding you that its good and well.

It's OK.
This week there happen two threads about entropic nature of gravity.
Numerous users have read this and it resolved indeterminacies in their wave function fields.
Of course, the superposition of users' fields of probabilities changed and currently getting a new equilibrium.
This caused some local perturbations of entropic gravity. You can enjoy visual effects of this: Earth quakes, Moon swells, Sun vomits.

P.S.
Of course, everybody here knows, that Entropy = ln (Statistical Weight of system) and dS ~ d ln P

P.P.S.
Would be nice if somebody would take Saturn rings under control. Wouldn't they become Saturn eights or other shapes?

P.P.P.S.
Earthquake with auroras usually means a dragon. I've seen this in Skyrim.

As others have said, you'll know it's the end of the world when things go weird and the impossible starts to occur. One big flag would be me having a girlfriend, so I'll let you know when the end of the world is near.

This would also be a flag for me as well.
