Maybe it's a more conventional gravitational anomaly, like a powerful black hole in our neighborhood sneaking up on us. By the time we notice its lensing effect in the sky, it'll be too late. (OK, I mean, what are we going to do anyway?)

Nah! Anyway, I'd rather assume there's a nearby black hole than that G has a true directionality.

If people would stop trying to save the world all our troubles would be canceled. We could just drive our SUVs around and party to the end, whatever the end is. A race between global warming, the meteors, the pulsar beams, the Bug-Eyed Monsters, whatever.
