Discovery of Habitable Rocky Alien Planet Gliese 581d and Prediction of 21 May Doomsday

I read in delight this morning that scientist might have discovered a habitable planet, Gliese 581d which is 20 light years away. Considering that 1 light year is the distance that light travel in one year and the speed of light is 299 792 458 m/s. Therefore 1 light year is about 10 trillion kilometers (1016 metres). 20 light years is really very very very far away! The spaceship carrying humans to this destination would take a long long time before reaching planet Gliese. Unless we can travel through space time tunnel or 'wormholes'  which can shorten the journey, it is rather impossible to reach this planet. LOL!

Then another headline news reported that a religious group in USA predicted that tomorrow, Sat 21 May 2011 will be doomsday! They claimed that a major earthquake would hit and destroy earth and mankind.

???????????!!!!!!

Well, doomsday or just normal day; tomorrow, I am going to Kepong Baru Wet market to enjoy my usual dim sum breakfast and weekend marketing rounds.....LOL! Oppps, maybe not dim sum, takut (scared) of rubbish pork! ha ha ha!

  5. die die .... all die together, no need to scare, pity those survivors that mourn the death, and need to reconstruct every thing, after they build everything, that is time we-rebirth again.

    Conclusion, must make sure we die first.

    wakaka....
