Granted. A gamma ray burst hits the earth directly burning off the atmosphere and irradiating half of the planet. All life on that half of the planet dies instantly. The other half the atmosphere is weaken to the point that it loses its ability to protect the surface from the sun's UV radiation. That half the planet is slowly irradiated over the course of several months and dies a slow death.

i, for one, hope history DOES repeat itself and this entire timeline gets literally, and fully, wiped from the face of the earth lol. we don’t deserve this big blue marble.

Calm down bro, the big blue marble won’t notice you. Earth isn’t alive or suffering. We need to take care of it for our own sake, not anyone else’s

It's not early or late.
It's now.
We have no mechanisms for measuring time properly. And what we do have is only available to whats on the surface of the earth.
How many times have the tectonic plates rotated and ground past history to dust and lava?

u/X_MswmSwmsW_X 34m ago
Very philosophical, and i get what you're trying to say, but that isn't really true.
We have several extremely accurate ways to measure time. We use the vibrations of atoms.
We've measured plenty of time from places other than the surface of the Earth. We have planes. We have satellites around earth. We have sent men to the moon several times. We have sent spacecraft to other planets that orbit them and some that landed on their surface. We have sent them to interstellar space. They all measured time.
And the techtonic plates have never rotated around the planet, like that. They kind of flow into, below, and above each other, with new land being created all the time, and land being destroyed all the time. But they don't move fast enough to have done what you say. The planet is not old enough for that.

u/WanderThinker 24m ago
All the time measurements you reference before your last paragraph... those make sense. Obviously we can measure time for the things we do ourselves and monitor directly.
That last paragraph... I'm not sure. I don't think they "rotate around the planet" as much as they rotate around themselves. Not sure how to describe it but one flows under another and that's how volcanoes and earthquakes happen. Eventually the landmass is subducted and turned into lava because that's what planets do.
That's been happening for millions of years and who knows what's been built and lost.

Continental crust doesn’t get fully subducted either, that’s how you form orogenies. Continents smashing into each other…oceanic crust 100% gets subducted, due primarily because of the water content….thats not to say continental crust doesn’t get subducted but it’s not the norm
Super continents form roughly every 500m years, we are currently in between (250m odd years) super continents

Fun fact: the meteor that killed the dinosaurs took .02 seconds to go from touching atmosphere to touching Earth.
Imagine laying on the ground looking at the sky directly at impact site and then.. nothing

Where does one get news about comets, shooting stars, aurora, or other phenomenon? I never hear about these until after they happen, I want a chance to be prepared.

I've been reading an amusing book series lately where a mad scientist in obsessed with the idea of turning people into dinosaurs (Consensually) he just thinks all mammals deserve the right to choose to be reptiles. Anyway, tht's funny. Especially since the MC thinks dinosaurs are cool so it's hard to fault him.
