Countdown counter online. Who turned on the “The End” timer? Address from the future
Strange news has been discussed in the English-speaking segment of the Internet for several days now. Many sites, relying on information from outsiders from an international group of experts involved in the investigation of various anomalous phenomena, report that since last Monday, many prominent scientists and politicians have received emails with strange content.
Each such email contains only one word “The End” and a link to the website - livecountdown.com/the-end, where a countdown timer is located. This is what is called the end - “The End” (click the photo or follow the link).
According to this timer, the time set on it expires on May 15, 2017, this will be the mythological end, but what? Nobody knows this. And this joke might not even be worth paying attention to, but a group of experts found the following oddities:
- on the one hand, such a timer can be installed on the small resource ivecountdown by anyone who wants to remain incognito. It seems like nothing remarkable, much less unusual - just a regular joke;
- on the other hand, all messages about the “The End” timer (all emails) were sent from Antarctica - from the American Amundsen-Scott station, which is located at the South Pole (built in 1956 and becoming the first Antarctic station not built on the coast, and in the depths of the ice continent). It turns out that the joker is among the station's scientists, which seems like a huge absurdity.
Experts contacted the NSF (National Science Foundation), which oversees the Amundsen-Scott station, and asked to find out who and why needs these children's games of intimidating politicians and scientists? The Foundation immediately contacted the station management and received a response that left the experts even more stumped. It turned out that no one at the station was doing such nonsense, and there are no crazy people among Antarctic scientists. However, the connection to the station computer occurred, strange as it may sound, from the outside.
However, neither the station management nor NSF employees could answer the question of how this was possible, which immediately prompted many to think about the Guardians of Antarctica, information about which had recently flown across the Internet. Maybe they are warning humanity? However – about what?
There is very little left until May 15, 2017, and many people are already talking about the end of the world on that date, for example, the Portuguese mystic Horatio Villa claims that on May 13, 2017, the Third World War will begin. Considering the huge stockpiles of nuclear and other weapons of mass destruction on Earth, two days is enough to destroy our planet.
However, in the Russian-speaking segment of the Internet, this information was received quite skeptically and even optimistically. Some Russians thought that this was nothing more than a fake, others were even glad that they could now spit on all the problems and calmly prepare to depart to another world, for example, as Woland suggested in “The Master and Margarita,” in the circle of beautiful women and with a glass of good food. wine in hand. It’s not so easy to scare a Russian person, maybe for this reason the “mysterious joker” sent out letters in English and strictly to the recipients corresponding to that language?..
A mysterious timer, traces of which lead to Antarctica, is counting down the last days of humanity.
As sad as it may be, humanity has always lived and lives in anticipation of the end of the world. We hasten to reassure you, there is not long to wait. When the collective mind creates phantoms, they sooner or later take on flesh. Previously, the power of the collective mind to influence reality was not so powerful. At the dawn of its existence, there were only a few hundred people on earth who believed in Christianity. But those who believed in the end of the world in 2012 according to the Mayan calendar numbered hundreds of millions. It blew by... in the good sense of the word. But this cannot continue; eventually, fears will be generated into something truly terrible. The worst thing is that people are starting to believe in such nonsense all over the world at the same time, thanks to the media and, above all, the Internet. A sensational discovery in the field of science causes virtually no reaction from the public, although it is precisely this discovery that can change the life of all mankind. Attention should be focused on him. No! But as soon as the out-of-mind watchman sees a terrible dream while drunk, “Revelations of the Holy Elder” is immediately replicated and re-counted on all social networks. Even more attention is drawn to strange cases similar to the timer in Antarctica. Let's recall the background.
At the beginning of 2017, the world's leading scientists and politicians began receiving emails containing the single word “The End.”
Actually, there is nothing unusual in all this if a special commission created to protect outstanding people of our time from virtual hooliganism had not found out where the strange message came from. We found out, we were surprised, we were scared!
It turned out that from Antarctica, from a polar station. We sent a request there. The answer was alarming. The station manager stated that none of the employees were involved in this scam, but an external connection was recorded to the computer from which the threatening mailing was carried out. Which is again very strange, because it can only be hacked from the inside.
In short, complete mysteries. But Monday, May 15, remained in the past, the world cataclysm did not happen, and the incident was safely forgotten, but in vain. The version recently expressed by one of the world's leading scientists, who wished to remain anonymous, sounds truly scary.
Address from the future He suggested that the message was made from the future, in the hope that the best minds of humanity and influential people would still pay attention to it, think about it and take action. That's why it was sent from the mysterious white continent. We are talking about a universal scale.
No one knows what will actually happen, and May 15 is most likely a wrong date. But the mistake was made intentionally. A benefactor from the future would not warn about the inevitable just a few months in advance. But in a few years or even decades... quite likely. So the day of May 15 remains in force, but the year of the disaster is postponed. How long? Who knows? There is time to think.
In this article we will look at several timer options.Option 1.
A simple timer using only minutes and seconds
For the timer to appear, you need to give the element the timer identifier and add a condition to the tag
That's it, the timer is ready.
Option 2.
The numbers for the timer will be a picture. Also in this timer, in addition to minutes and seconds, hours and days are available. Our timer will count down until a certain day.
Designing the page
Countdown timer
The image digits2_orange.png will be used to display the time
Next we write the js code
var t=Date.parse(deadline)-Date.parse(new Date());
var seconds = Math.floor((t/1000) % 60);
var minutes = Math.floor((t/1000/60) % 60);
var hours = Math.floor((t/(1000*60*60)) % 24);
var days = Math.floor(t/(1000*60*60*24));
$(function())(
$("#counter").countdown((
image: "pic/digits2_orange.png",
startTime: days+":"+hours+":"+minutes+":"+seconds,
timerEnd: function())(
$("#tut").html("The timer has completed its work");
}
});
});
image - our picture
startTime is exactly the time remaining until 09/01/2017
timerEnd - what happens when the timer ends; in our case, the corresponding inscription will be inserted into the container with the identifier tut
Next is our timer
Left:
DaysHoursMinutesSeconds
We formalize
#layer(
width:600px;
text-align:center;
margin:0 auto;)
#counter(
margin:10pt auto 0 auto;
width:414px;)
Desc(
width:430px;
margin:0px auto;)
#days,#hours,#minutes,#seconds(
float:left;
font:13px Arial,Verdana,sans-serif;
width:50px;
margin-right:63px;
font-weight:bold;
color:#000;)
#seconds(margin-right:0px;)
CntSeparator(
font-size:50px;
margin:6px 7px;
color:#000;)
Option 3.
In our opinion the most convenient. Just like the previous one, it shows the remaining number of days, hours, minutes, seconds. Does not use an image to display the counter.
To work we need the jquery library and the file
Designing the page
Countdown timer
// here is the desired date in the format yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss
var deadline="2017-08-20 00:00:00";
00
days
00
watch
00
min
00
sec
$(".countdown").downCount((
date: deadline
},
function())(
/* action after timer ends */
alert("Time expired!");
});
And css for appearance
.countdown(
list-style:none;
margin:6px 0 0 0;
padding:0;
display: block;)
Countdown li(display: inline-block;)
/* here are days, hours, minutes, seconds */
.countdown li span(
width:100%;
color:#000;
font:18px Verdana;
display:inline-block;)
/* separators. And: */
.countdown li.seperator (
color:#000;
font:16px Verdana;
vertical-align:top;)
Countdown li div(
margin:0;
color: #a7abb1;
font:8pt Verdana;)
