Just like a gossip star who loves to make something out of nothing, "the end of the world" has frequently been rumored to occur in different years. The above individuals won the 2011 "Ig Nobel Prize," with the award reason given as, "These stories have informed us to be careful with numbers." It wasn't until 2009 that he heard rumors about the end of the world from his co-workers. Although he was initially skeptical, one day while working on a construction site, he suddenly noticed that the bright and sunny weather had turned dark, "The entire sun was covered by the moon's shadow, it was pitch black," and cold winds blew from behind him, making this summer morning seem a bit chilly. "What I am concerned about is children who keep thinking the world will disappear, adults who mistakenly believe lies, and people's endless disturbances," Deveau wrote in an article for the French newspaper Les Echos, "The powerful force of the Internet, people's fear of this era, plus the greed of some sinister individuals, all these cause excessive worry among people, sometimes even possibly leading to mass self-harm or making people's actions more unpredictable." In front of the white-haired Morrison, there were over 2 million websites discussing the end of the world and more than 5,000 emails in his inbox. He had to answer the same question at least five times a day: "Will the end of the world come?" No, none of this will happen because there simply is no celestial body called Nibiru, nor will any celestial body bring a fatal collision to Earth. Comparatively, in Mexico, the birthplace of the rumor, they look forward to the end of the world more. The government set up a "Countdown to the End of the World" signboard in towns where the Maya used to live and grandly promoted "Doomsday Tourism." They eagerly anticipate that this theme may give Mexico's tourism industry a boost. Initially, Wang Ming did not think his actions were absurd. According to the saying that "December 21, 2012, is the end of the world," he believed he had already "little time left," so he might as well enjoy life this way. In fact, there are people around the world waiting for this legendary doomsday just like Wang Ming. Recently, NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) solemnly announced on its official website: "In 2012, the Earth will be safe. December 21st is not the end of the world, it is merely the winter solstice of this year." Before encountering the "end of the world," Wang Ming was a hardworking laborer in the eyes of his co-workers. During more than 30 years of working outside, he carried bricks, painted walls, and made wooden molds. When others rested on rainy days, Wang Ming would wear a straw hat, cover himself with plastic, and continue to work overtime. At the shooting site of a movie in Sichuan, the director instructed the gathered crowd of over a thousand extras in the gymnasium to imagine welcoming the end of the world. Only to see gray-haired grandmothers, schoolchildren in uniforms, women with heavy makeup, and bearded uncles sitting around hundreds of mahjong tables, welcoming the end with the clatter of mahjong tiles. Wearing the beautiful leather shoes he bought specifically to welcome the year 2012, this man returned to the construction site and started looking for work again. He seriously told the reporter from China Youth Daily, "All past things are in the past, I don't believe it anymore now. Now I just want to work hard, you see me on the construction site, I have to go to work, goodbye!" Chongqing resident Wang Ming. Norwegian Beach. Morrison helplessly answered, "Instead of asking me for evidence, why don't the promoters of the doomsday theory provide evidence? If someone claims there is now a 50-foot purple elephant walking towards Cleveland State, should NASA also provide evidence to prove it's wrong?" If he could take a little time out of his hard work to read the scientists' explanations, he might have changed his mind earlier. In fact, since 1983, NASA's infrared astronomical satellite has begun its first detection of the sky, and subsequent detections have not found the so-called Nibiru. Another question lingering in Morrison's mind: Why do people believe the world will end soon? Morrison had to repeat the same answer over and over again: No, none of this will happen because there simply is no celestial body called Nibiru, nor will any celestial body bring a fatal collision to Earth. This is just a plot point mentioned in a book called "Mysteries of Mexico." Just like a troublemaker gossip star, "the end of the world" often gets linked with different years through rumors. In 1954, American housewife Dorothy Martin claimed she had contact with aliens, and December 21st of that year would be the end of the world; later, two Americans postponed this date to 1982 and 1990 respectively; then, Koreans and Ugandans pushed the doomsday to 1992 and 2000 respectively. However, the doubters still unwillingly asked, "Do you have evidence to prove that the end of the world is a scam?" But the scientists' explanations seem not to spread as widely as the rumors. Wang Ming, who firmly believed in the end of the world, thought that working hard to earn money was meaningless. The former workaholic would outright reject jobs introduced by his co-workers. At that time, he had only one goal: spend all his savings before the end of the world. Over the past two years, carpenter Wang Ming from Chongqing has been spending his money quickly. As locals considered how to deal with these herrings, the next morning, these fish mysteriously disappeared. Researchers from the Norwegian Continental Shelf Institute speculated that initially, it might have been a storm during Christmas that washed these herrings ashore, causing them to die from lack of oxygen, and later, tides might have carried these fish back to the North Sea. The first discoverer was Jan-Peter Jorgensen, who lives along the coast of Nordreisa District in northern Norway. On this day, while walking his dog Mori along the beach, he was surprised to find that the beach in front of him looked like it was covered with a silver carpet, filled with over 20 tons of dead herrings. In order to achieve this, he spent about 5000 yuan each month, "after deducting 800 yuan for rent and more than 1000 yuan for living expenses, where the rest went, I can't remember now." He repeatedly said, "Regretful to death, only blaming myself for low education and not believing in science. In fact, as long as we live another day, we should treat life and family well." This day was July 27, 2009. What Wang Ming saw was a magnificent total solar eclipse. However, the only explanation this man who didn't even finish elementary school could think of was, "The end of the world is really coming, by 2012, the Earth will collide with the Moon, and humanity will be destroyed!" Wang Ming was not the only victim. On the first day of the New Year in 2012, the specter of the end of the world landed on the coast of Norway on the other side of the Earth. Facing repeated earthquakes, tsunamis, and nuclear leaks, when the Earth begins to stir, those fragile nerves also become restless. According to local media reports, in order to spend all his hard-earned savings of 110,000 yuan, this once frugal migrant worker not only traveled to all major tourist attractions in Chongqing but also often went to hot springs to enjoy life, even spending more than 4000 yuan to buy a Samsung laptop. "Frankly speaking, I also love reading books or watching movies about the end of the world, although they have no scientific basis at all," Don Yeomans, director of NASA's Near-Earth Object Project Office joked, "I actually like the name Nibiru very much. By 2013, I plan to keep a goldfish as a pet and call it Nibiru every day."
