Reminder, you're all doomed.

Well, I'm an easily panicked person. I believe there are some people so insane and in love with the idea of the end of the world that they would force it to happen.

It is unlikely in the extreme that even a deeply emplaced nuclear weapon of very high yield could trigger a catastrophic eruption.
The "material" on that loon's facebook page is rubbish.

Tell me why he's wrong because I'm an easily panic stricken person. That's why I'm on this forum, I'm trying to get over that.

Please tell me, calm my nerves. I'm going insane.

Pedro is, technically speaking, a fruitcake.

You have nothing to fear.

I'm following his Wall updates right now, he's actually in the process of giving up the end of the world idea. I feel like a damn fool.

Certainly not one that someone working in a copy centre in NYC is capable of deploying from his car, anyway...

Well, I wouldn't go so far as to say that. You took this information to someone (JREF) who could comment intelligently about what the other person was saying. It wasn't me in this case, but you get the idea.

Agree. You did just the right sort of thing to do when you come across info you don't get, but which seems worrisome: ask someone who would know, or somewhere that someone who would know might be, so you can operate from information, rather than from fear.

Now, a real fool would have just stayed worried, stayed uncertain, and started doing unwise things from panic. Instead of any of that, you asked around for more info.

Why on earth would you feel foolish for doing the wise thing? :)

By the end of the week you will see how electronics, if used properly can create shockwaves. The military used this wave in guns to cause people to have stomach pains.

He's most likely referring to something like this: http://news.softpedia.com/news/A-Weapon-of-the-Future-Ultrasound-Using-Gun-81414.shtml
Using ultrasonic soundwaves to induce pain, not "shockwaves".

Possibly he could be referring to this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_Denial_System
Using microwaves to induce pain, not "shockwaves".

This entire paragraph is fruitloopery of the highest order. There's so much wrong with it that it's hard to know where to begin.

Firstly, the claim that the beam will travel deep into the belly of the core and raise the earth's core temperature to a record level. Even assuming that you could get a beam or shock-wave of some kind into the core, where would you get the energy to raise the temperature in this way?

If you took all the energy from all the nuclear weapons ever built, and somehow managed to pump it all into the center of the earth, the effect on the temperature of the core would still be immeasurably small.

Raising the temperature of the core requires energy. Where is this energy supposed to come from?

And then there's the claim: Shockwaving at an impressive 100,000. X ^1000th Megax100 power. This sentence appears to be complete gibberish.

And he says: Gamma waves. The most powerful waves we know so far.

Gamma waves are a type of brainwave. Not very powerful at all. Most likely he's taking about gamma rays. In fiction, the same stuff that turned Bruce Banner into the Incredible Hulk. In reality, this is merely a type of x-ray. Cosmic rays are far more powerful.

And finally...

It is an experimental reaction that was discovered @ the lab. It uses Hydrogen atoms to react. You will see how it works. JUST HANG ON TO SOMETHING. CREATE STOCK WAVES IN THE RADIUS CENTER OF OUR PLANET.

He seems to be referring to nuclear fusion. (Eg, a H-bomb.) Somehow he thinks he can cause this to occur in the earth's core. Given that the earth's core is mostly molten iron with only a tiny amount of hydrogen dissolved in it, the notion of creating a nuclear reaction in the earth's core is absurd.
 
So far the after-life is pretty much like the afore-life except cat speaking in tongues.
Will feed cat and report back.
