Via Arnold Kling, here is a long symposium (a good time waster), from all the names you would expect to contribute to such a symposium, plus Eric Fischl and Brian Eno. Here is Anton Zeitlinger's offering:
Some day all semiconductors will break down and therefore all computers as, besides historic instruments no computers exist today which are nor based on semiconductor technology. The breakdown will be caused by a giant electromagnetic pulse (EMP) created by a nucler explosion outside Earth's athmosphere. It will cover large areas on Earth up to the size of a continent. Where it will happen is unpredictable. But it will happen since it is extremely unlikely that we will be able to get rid of all nuclear weapons and the probability for it to happen at any given time will never be zero.
The implications of such an event will be enormous. If it happens to one of our technology based societies literally everything will break down. You will realize that none your phones does work. There is no way to find out via the internet what happened. Your car will not start anymore as it is also controlled by computer chips, unless you are lucky to own an antique car. Your local supermarket is unable to get new supplies.There will be no trucks operating anymore, no trains, no elctricity, no water supplies Society will completely break down.
my magic 8 ball is right more than nostra.

My name is Byron.
So what they are trying to get at with this theory is that we cant live without technology? All this doomsday BS, there isnt anything you can do about it should it happen, so why worry about it?

i think emp is more the danger of relying on tech too much. there are some worries china has EMP weapon. it'd be like 'war of worlds' w/ tom cruise.
edwards channels the dead thru him, not speak to them.
i think they say the polar cap switch happens every 5000 yrs, and some ppl get uber smart and bail on earth.
they say the sahara used to be full of lush vegetation (found fossils recently), but that it changed due to earth orbit wobble, say the global warmers, not because temperatures vary naturally.
i also heard from the same guy that quartz is the source of life, and that at certain heat and vibration/movement it has created life in a vacuum.
