I concur with Mario's sediments concerning the so-called galactic alignment issue, particularly its relationship with recent 2012 doomsday hype. Some of us may be old enough to remember the fact that recent 2012 Armageddon hype, which in certain New Age groups has been associated with the

It's been my observation that these planetary doomsday scenarios seem to crop up every generation, every 23 years or so. I'm under the opinion that some of these sociological events may in part be fueled by batches of younger observers (initiates) who may not have had the opportunity to have

Thank you for the informative reply Mauro! I guess I should have phrased my question with fewer assumptions... I am not (as far as I know) trying to fan any speculative philosophy or doomsday fears , rather I am interested in this phenomena as it may or may not relate to another vacuum energy

I tend to agree with Robin. There is no reason that those without jobs could not be employed as not everything can be exported. Now there are many ways that extra employment could be found, one of them would be a significant pickup in aerospace. Since mysteriously no one wants to revisit the
