Absolute Johannes factotum
- SCP-8606 (?)
- SCP-8606 is not a physical object but a critical miscalculation in the universe's entropy, meaning the universe is losing its heat and energy much faster than previously thought, leading to an imminent "thermal death" where all thermal energy will be lost by 2017, and the sun was projected to die in 2015. To combat this, Earth is protected by a massive thermal screen that creates an artificial day-night cycle and must never be damaged, while global warming is actively encouraged to keep Earth as warm as possible.
- Centralia, Pennsylvania (?)
- Centralia, Pennsylvania, is a near-ghost town in Columbia County, infamous for a persistent underground coal mine fire that has been burning beneath it since 1962. This fire, believed to have started from a landfill blaze that spread into abandoned coal seams, caused the town's population to plummet from over 1,000 residents in 1980 to just five by 2020, making it Pennsylvania's least-populated municipality. The ongoing inferno led to the condemnation of all property by eminent domain in 1992, the discontinuation of its ZIP code, and the relocation of most residents due to dangerous conditions like sinkholes, toxic gases, and hot ground. Although most structures were demolished and a section of its main highway, Route 61, was abandoned and later buried, a few residents were permitted to remain, and the town's Ukrainian Catholic church continues to hold services, unaffected by the fire. The Centralia mine fire is expected to burn for another 250 years.
