A real life Nyarlathotep

Post by Enkil »

I came across this artcile.

http://www.usatoday.com/tech/science/co ... fire_x.htm

The Summary: There's a giant fire ball hurling across the universe at 1.8 million miles an hour. It's 3 million LIGHT YEARS across in size. A single light year is 5.9 trillion miles, so if we do the math thats 3,000,000 x 5,900,000,000,000 or 17,700,000,000,000 normal miles across.

What happens when this thing explodes eventually? It's Gods self-destruct system! It's Nyarlathoteps real life counter part!

My mind is blown, really, if I wasn't so bad at math I would have prefered to go into Astrophysics or astronomy. Space is amazing, and honestly, we shouldn't be worrying about astroids hitting the earth when there's a behemoth like this thing running around the universe. There's really only one thing that can even slightly live up to this giant:

"I am become death, the shatterer of worlds;
Waiting that hour that ripens to their doom."
-Bhagavad Gita

i wonder how many inhabited planets are aware of being in its path. i would like to see some stats about which civilizations evacuated, panicked/self-destructed, accepted their fate peacefully, etc

Could Nyarlathotep be the Antichrist?

Azathoth's asleep. This thing very clearly is not.

"He" would be the opposite of what you think "he" is, though "he" is all that is: formless and void.
The viper enpoisoned my mind,
but there was nothing inside.
A black hole, a void;
temporary filling for the chaotic Lord.

Hey this is a good comparison, but it is better not to think very much about the existence of certain things. My head is going to explode.
