What's more, the moment you've thought of it, you've predicted it. You might actually be looking for an apocalypse with meaning that teaches a lesson like, Earth will be demolished by bureaucratic aliens to build a hyperspace bypass. | |

Even primitive peoples could see this as a signal of doom, and they would be right; a case where non-science still leads to the right answer, but not for the right reasons. The shift in brightness would be caused by a massive release of energy elsewhere in the galaxy, cooking the other side of the planet (knock on effects destroying everyone/thing on Earth over time). | |

| May 29, 2015 at 19:54 | comment | added | Rob Watts | So your setting is the real world, right? Meaning magic, etc. are not options? | |
