In a random market people were merry, maybe not all, but on an average merry. Then there was a sudden blackout, then back to normal. People couldn't quite put a finger on it but something changed. And as carefree humans are no one thought much about it, On with our merry lives. Then a sudden tremor and a deafening boom, shook everything.
The world seems timeless, as life goes on. While things may change due to various events, the world still spins. Until the Earth is destroyed, nothing will stop that process. People within society are the ones to determine how they live on Earth. We only live in a minuscule part of time of Earth’s lifespan.
Today, it was my day to enjoy Groundhog Day. The sun was shining brighter than ever before on February 2. It could not be a coincidence. I was convinced we had been successful and the groundhog would not see his shadow.
The 29th Event Ever since five years ago a dark pathway opened on February 29th. Weirdly I was born on the day of the event so in a way I think is attached to me, but I haven’t seen the place yet so everyone thinks I’m normal, but lately the tests at the lab are getting harder and school’s bullies are getting really rough and I have been under a lot of stress lately. So I get up and walk out my dorm room and see a label on my door that I didn’t think I noticed before.
“When scores of astrologers jumped into a bandwagon of collective hysteria by proclaiming the imminent end of the world,” (“Astrology and Prophecy in the Renaissance”). The astrologers thought that the planets of Jupiter, Saturn, and Mars. would bring a huge flood to earth and destroy it. So, then many people argued if this event would really take place. Many, people in Europe had frantically moved in anticipation to this disaster.
It was an event which came unexpectedly and changed several important aspects of life
April is spring, so change is about to come, but despite that, there are feeling is of insecurity, harshness, dullness, and cold rather than what spring typically is known for- security, rebirth,life, rejoicing, and warmth. April is full of hope as spring is in the air with a crisp cold under a promising blue sky, but the “clocks were striking thirteen.” References to a thirteenth stroke of the clock indicate that some event or discovery calls into question everything previously believed. It calls into question not only the credibility of itself but of the previous twelve. The number thirteen has many symbols such as bad luck and death.
In today's world, it is assumed that the world will end with a bang: quite literally. The metaphorical doomsday clock is set two minutes to midnight, and the world waits for the press of a button that will change everything. However, there are darker, more sinister aspects that are obvious, and yet they are paid no heed. In the article "End of days: is Western civilization on the brink of collapse?" by Laura Spinney, it warns that,"Western culture is reaching a critical juncture.
“WOAH”!! Imma get it Imma get it!! What it do. I’m phil and I’m the flyest ground hog out here. I have my own town called punxsutawney.
Many years had passed since people thought the world was ending. They thought the world was ending because the Mayan calendars had said so, but their calendars were obviously not one hundred percent accurate. Many missionaries had gone all over the world and they had lots of success. Although they had success there were people who still did not believe in the one and only true God.

Although the entire reenactment was impactful, I would say there were two points in the night that stood out to me. In complete improvisation, we decided to take a march around Commons in a single file line. Since no one else had any idea what was happening, it was quite embarrassing for them; they could see the watchful eyes and hear people whispers Why do they all have numbers? but they could not say a word, demonstrating their loss of power. Another meaningful moment of the night was the selection.
The way i see it the world we know today will not be ended by a meteor or a comet strike. The world we know today won 't end due to differences of religion or a mass nuclear war, the way i see it is that the world is going through the same

It approximately calculates the number of humans to be born in the future on the basis of number of humans born till the date. This essay elaborates the history and development of Doomsday argument. Since the argument is probability based, therefore it had faced many objections and gone through various controversies.
