Something that humbled me real quick is what my Physics professor told us once: if the planet wants to get rid of us it'll be a piece of cake. We are really not working with much at the end of the day. Look how small the Earth's crust and atmosphere are to the rest of the planet. These crazy little shifts the Earth is making are basically trivial to it.

Also makes you appreciate how delicate conditions had to be to have life in the first place.

this might not be telling the real story

it could be that distance becomes confusing the further up you go and the further down you go (IE things expand the further you go up, and things collapse the further you go down)

the other planets might have nothing to do with it.

I'd imagine this isn't unusual all. The Hajj is a life fulfillment for Muslim folks, so Im sure countless people tried it haphazardly. For centuries.

It is not worth your life trekking through the desert dying... but hey that's your choice...may your spirit be guided to the afterlife...

Didn't the death toll increase a lot from the other day?
