Question

Can someone name an actual scientific reason the world will end in 2012; something thats not based on the Mayan calendar?

Answer 1

On Friday, January 13th, 2012, enough people will be freaked out that something bad is going to happen that they'll run out into the streets, screaming and such causing others to wonder what's going on and if the world actually is ending. Enough people will be convinced that it is that they will cause a domino like effect of hysteria and gabbledeegookedness through the formally sane people of the world. This will roll through people in positions in society who will create further panic by doing things like turning off our broadcasting waves for no apparent reason and flicking everyone's lights on and off real fast from their end of the transmission line.

Monkeys in the Ebola and Plague test labs will escape and run free, then mutate and eat the remainder of sane people on earth. The insane people will start a war with the mutated monkeys and then the Messiah will return. Everything will be okay after that.

Answer 2

the notion of a "world" will become as silly as the notion of a "flat earth" following new insights into the nature of reality.   Thus the world will be "destroyed" to make way for something new that they just haven't told us about yet.

Answer 3

a spate of suicides due to great disappointment from the failure of the world to end in 2012 causes an escalation of finger pointing, blame gaming, saber rattling and finally global thermonuclear war in 2013... THE END

Answer 4

No.  There is no scientific evidence the world will end in 2012.

Sorry.  We will just have to go on trying to work things out in the world we have.

Answer 5

Israel and Iran start a world nuke Holocaust that destroys mankind.  And, of course we wouldn't be able to head it off because President Obama ended our space (satellite) program and we didn't have any nuclear weapons.  Is that scientific enough. After all, we all have to join hands and sing Kumbayah

Answer 6

the solar system come into alignment with the black hole in the center of the universe. Its not only the Myans, it is also the peublo indians, the chinese have an ancient callender, even right now there is a program that is supposed to predict stock market activity that has stopped it's predictions for earth at 2012.

Answer 7

My prediction is that the world wont END. There is just going to be a new age. The age of Aquarius to be exact. If you go back in history many things changed as the astrological chart did... art, government , ect. I also believe if something catastrophic were to happen.. the human race will survive and to answer your question... no. there is no scientific reason the world will end in 2012

Answer 8

The world's not gonna end in 2012. If it is then why do teachers still teach students? Because there would be no point in learning if were gonna die.

Answer 9

GLOBAL WARMING!!!!!! ;(

Answer 10

The 2012 fiasco and scientific reasoning are mutually exclusive concepts.

Answer 11

No.  Not a single reputable scientist in the World would give it a moments thought, except when we answer questions on here.

Answer 12

I have never heard one...

According to the 2012ers it will be the end of the world because

1. Nostradamus said so

2. The Mayan calender ends

3. an Ouija Board said so

4. there will be a pole shift

5. there will be a planetary alignment

6. there will be a galactic alignment

7. an asteroid will hit earth

8. Planet X/ Nibiru will appear

9. some crystal skull nonsense

10. we are heading into a photon belt (whatever that’s supposed to be

11. Indian Astronomer said so

and probably some other equally silly reasons.

Answer 13

We're overdue for a volcanic eruption at Yellowstone, which is a supervolcano, which would mean an end to life as we know it.  Might happen in 2012.  Also, a rogue asteroid could show up at any time... we only watch 10% of the sky at any given time, so that might happen in 2012.  The Large Hadron Collider is set to go online any day now, and there is concern it might open up a black hole of some kind that swallows the Earth... and that might happen in 2012.

Answer 14

No, because it's all a bunch of superstition. The Mayans were masters at astronomy. Unfortunately, they fell into the habit of believing in the pseudo-science of astrology.

Answer 15

Basically the world is already in the process of ending think about it:

+War

+Hurricanes

+Earthquakes

+Global Warming

+Fires

+Killing

But depending on how all of the stuff i mentioned before

gets better or worse in the future

is what is going to create a real

"end of the world"

The only reason for 2012 being the year the world "ends"

is the Mayan Calender.

And my contributing to the Mayan Calender Theory...

Honestly (and this is just me)

I think their calender is based  off of a Clock...

Think about it...

Their Calender is a Dial that goes up to 2012

and our modern day clocks go up to 12

and i know what your thinking...

But a Sun Dial

(that is exactly like our modern day clocks

just not as "high tech")

Was invented before the Mayan calender was created.

But thats just my thinking.

For all we know the Aliens came way back when.

Told the Mayans they were coming back in 2012

And the aliens were gonna take them away to

start a new world on a different planet.

So they only made their calender to 2012

because they were going to make a new calender

when they get to their new world.

The aliens would also explain the Crystal Skulls

I mean the Crystal Skulls are so amazingly crafted

That the technology that we have today could not

have created them so perfectly.

So how are we supposed to believe that the Mayans

5,000 ago created them all by them selves.

Answer 16

i dont think it will end.. they said that about the year 2000..with the whole Y2K thing and nothing happened...

Answer 17

Only God knows when the world will end, but yeah the Mayan Calendar is the main reason why people say the world will end. mainly cuz everything the Mayans have predicted came true!

Answer 18

Even if they can, doesn't mean that it will.  The world was supposed to end so many times in the past, that I don't pay attention to these predictions anymore.  Most of the time, they can't predict the weather correctly, how are they supposed to get something like this right?

Answer 19

supposedly a "Polar Shift"

Answer 20

Well because of the Mayan calender people would believe it would be so and just cause a mass destruction, consider it a dooms day possibility, If a country or a mad man...... were able to destroy the earth because it would fit his agenda that would be the only real reason in a social setting I can see this coming to light. However I believe they just assumed we would have a new calender by now and just stopped, however nothing natural supports that theory. I am sure my bills will still be due but no end of the world

Answer 21

It won't.

Answer 22

Yes. Warfare.
