I've heard it for years, and figured it wouldn't happen in my lifetime, but now some of the most renowned physicists on the planet are saying it could happen this year.

I tried to find a decent news source on youtube, but most of the stuff is conspiracy theory sites, mainstream news doesn't seem to be covering it as much as it seems they should be.

What are your thoughts?
Anyone live near Yellowstone?
I just want to know what is really going on.

Maybe it will only erupt a little when it does. Why does it have to be a massive eruption?

It's possible but not likely. We're supposed to have something like another 100,000 years at least, but that could easily be shaved down to less than a few thousand the way climate change is going.

It probably won't happen in our lifetimes though

Yeah they might say every 100,000 years, but there's always plus or minus 20,000 on that. Accurately predicting eruptions is damn near impossible.

The only thing even close that I can find is Michio Kaku (a respected physicist, not a geologist), giving an interview in 2011, saying that the volcano could erupt with little or no warning at some point, and that the effects would be catastrophic.

But yes, there are loads of videos on YouTube, using that speculative general interview to push nutjob conspiracy bullshit for clicks. There's a huge appetite for it.

Michio Kaku, however, is not prophesying that it'll blow up next week.

Of course not. The interview is over a decade old and was just general speculation about what could happen.

His perfectly reasonable comments are being misused and taken out of context.

I watched a video on it recently. Probably won't happen soon, there will be indicators of pressure building up and earthquakes before an eruption.

You could argue quite successfully that you cant worry about that once its happening.

I mean I've been hearing this for the last 15 or 20 years.

Volcanists say that there isn't a predictable period between eruptions that this conspiracy theory says there is. There's nothing indicating that Yellowstone is "overdue" because that's not a thing for it.
