do you believe of such a volcano by this imensve force is real or is it to large to really grasp with our own presepetion of reality
 
it is said that they erupt very rearly (like every 300 000 year or so), but that if they or one goes of we are toast, doomed, pompeied.
 
I think the concept of SV is interesting, here under ower feets sleeps this mssive giant, for every perosn who vissit Yellow Stone national park they are literly standing over a huge chamber of melting lava, it is unreal really
 
so when these predictions of armageddon is coming each 10th year then I when i know of such things as SV i have that in mind. just for not being a total fool if actualy some apocalyptic event is over us

Yellowstone blowing its stack is a very real 'theoretical' possibility. Not much we can do about it though. No point in losing sleep over it. When (if) our numbers are up, our numbers are up, collectively or individually..

Once Yellowstone erupts, we're all dead. But those geysers are constant releases of pressure making sure that it will not erupt immediately. However, once those geysers stop releasing steam, that should be a sign to get to the moon ASAP.

Rest assured, good people of Prog Archives, I have surveyed the situation and have decided to ignore it completely and if things explode: things explode.

What's not to believe?
As you point out in your own OP man there's one under Yellowstone. If it ever was to erupt the crap is expected to cover like most of North America and would of course cause global catastrophe.

I kinda hope that is what takes us out in 2012...old school style ya know?

Do I believe in them? I live ontop of one, that is easily as big (in terms of past eruption size) as Yellowstone. There are volcanic ignimbrite deposits 200 metres deep underneath my town...

I feel sorry for the idiot that voted no, of course they exist, and there are quite a few of them about.

Tis is not a matter of belief or non-belief, they exist and will erupt again. Period. Maybe not for millions of years.

some humans have it hard to believe such monstrosities exist becouse it is way above our wildest thoughts and frame of reality.
 
some humans don't believe it til it hits them in the forhead.

Some people need to experience terrible things themselves to believe in them.

The concept of a 'supervolcano' erupting and destroying half the country is too big for most people to comprehend. Like economic collapse.

Even if there was overwhelming evidence that it was imminent, many would still not believe it until it's too late. I think psychologists call this the 'normalcy bias'

Taupo... but they are part of the same volcanic field. There are several other calderas in the region.

I took an Earth Science class is college, and these volcanoes are the reason why earth is they way it is. The earth is 4.5 billion years old, and we talked about how earth was slowly changing, through millions of years. This is a very interesting thread.

I've been to the top of Haleakela in Hawaii.  Dormant and impressive.

The next time my volcano erupts, bits of my house will probably end up scattered over India. Gives me warm fuzzies to know that Sleepy
