Chance of Earth Collision (Planetary Catastrophe bonds the Global Consciousness like no other event)

GLOBAL CONSCIOUSNESS - SCIENCE/ENVIRONMENT GLINKS

Astronomers calculate there is a tiny chance that Mars or Venus could collide with Earth - though it would not happen for at least a billion years (Full Story: BBC)


From a Global Consciousness Perspective:
Nothing bonds us quite like thinking about our collective end. Why would this be more scary than contemplating our own individual demise? Because instinctively we feel it is vital that our species survive, which means our humanity has a place in the collective consciousness far more than we are used to acknowledging. Until that is, the threats become real, like climate change, super-volcanic activity, and as this article discusses, the very real threats of

Interesting timing for this news item; are we meant to (literally) connect the dots between this and the next news story on GC news about the 'Hushed Up Asteroid Scientists' (space.com), published on the very same day. If something like this were predicted within the next few years would they tell us? Would they want a panic before the inevitable end times? Would a panic matter in the face of ultimate destruction of the earth? Could such information be kept away from the public for very long before someone did come forward with the devastating news? What if earth did face such a threat, wouldn’t it put all our petty squabbles and concerns into perspective?


There are realistic chances of the earth coming under cosmic threat/s within our lifetimes. Not all asteroids are detectable; our own Sun is not an infinite object (see 4. Life cycle) and will not provide heat energy (BBC: Quiet Sun Baffles) to our planet indefinitely. The damage from climate change is potentially irreversible, making the suns rays catastrophic for life on our planet.

This higher state of consciousness becomes clearer when faced with a threat. It is no coincidence that such global threats are increasing. It is our humanity that calls to us, to seek a solution.
