LOL Steve, thanks for the 'scientists', I must take the time to watch the video, the premise sounds pretty in line with some other catastrophic narratives. When discussing about such things the uncertainties involved in the hypothesis should be clearly exposed, even as the mechanistic principles behind the hypothesis itself.
At the end, I will accept a degree of probability, if the hypothesis is not a crazy one (there are many). I will not accept a 100% certainty, that's impossible in just about any forecast.
The proponent may be so sure as to move to a isolated ranch, but this does not make the forecast sure. The proponent is so convinced that he cannot live without taking action. that's all right. There were so many proponents of the 2000 bug, including Kryiananda. We've all witnessed that such narrative has been a failure.
Daya Mata was a clairvoyant, and she clearly explained that there would not have been any millennium bug. But she went on: if you are restless without doing anything, just take some of the measures which will make you stay in peace. This is the kind of pragmatism I appreciate in Yogananda and his disciples.
