Remember dear ATSers that every single thing here on earth happens for a reason.
All your points are invalid since there is no proof of your debunking. Were you there or have video proof when the universe began?
I am not looking to debunk based on someone else scientific hearsay, This thread is to prove it right or wrong for a fact that we will all observe.
Either 18 days go by and no destruction take place and then we carry on knowing 100% with facts that this is bull or a huge world change happens and then he will be proven correct.
No slam intended, I'm just providing a forum to observe this claim and that is all. All other debunking claims are based on imperfect science.
No you are wrong on many points. 1. Matter can be created and destroyed. It is done in stars and in nuclear reactors and bombs all of the time. Ever hear of E=mc2? The big bang was 13.7billion years ago. The 16.4 value is off by 20%. It's not even close.
Wow, you are wrong on every point..I'm just going to stop you at the first one.
Matter can NOT be created or destroyed as far as current science is aware of..
Approximately 600 to 860 milligrams of matter in the bomb was converted into the active energy of heat and radiation (see mass-energy equivalence for detail).
You cannot destroy a proton, a neutron, or an electron. You can change atoms, and atoms do decay, but they lose electrons, protons or neutrons. That matter isn't destroyed...
In physics, the word is used to denote the process that occurs when a subatomic particle collides with its respective antiparticle.[2] Since energy and momentum must be conserved, the particles are not actually made into nothing, but rather into new particles.
During a low-energy annihilation, photon production is favored, since these particles have no mass.
The Question
(Submitted July 24, 1997)
Why is it impossible, at this point in time, to convert energy into matter?
The Answer
It happens all the time. Particle accelerators convert energy into subatomic particles, for example by colliding electrons and positrons. Some of the kinetic energy in the collision goes into creating new particles.
It's not possible, however, to collect these newly created particles and assemble them into atoms, molecules and bigger (less microscopic) structures that we associate with 'matter' in our daily life. This is partly because in a technical sense, you cannot just create matter out of energy: there are various 'conservation laws' of electric charges, the number of leptons (electron-like particles) etc., which means that you can only create matter / anti-matter pairs out of energy.
What ever we think, in 18 days we will know one way or the other.

So what is going to be an acceptable event?
Instead of discussing afterward whether or not something fills the bill it is best to make a definition up front and then allow that definition to decide the case. Set a threshold for such a condition.
You've already named a global war. Any other ideas?
Well, a shift in global weather patterns/ Polar shift/ earth axis tilt / Moon orbit change...all would severely impact our way of life.
What are your limits to allow yourself to say, Wow he might have been right this time?
Mine has to be something that will effect every person directly that everyone will know they are living in a completely different time from before. in other words, complete change or it didn't happen, What says you?
