Is world ending 2012?

Question

is it ending or is this another c**p **** like 2000 and 2006.6.6

and i don't understand how the Cristian religion keeps going if they were wrong about such a major subject "Jesus coming 2000" wtf how can people believe in Christianity still?

Answer 1

I actually asked an astronomer from nasa about this very question, he said that its really just a matter of the myan's not really thinking they needed to go beyond that date. He also stated that its really just one of these "false no evidence" doomsday stories that spread around the internet. YOU CAN GO TO NASA's WEBSITE AND GO TO  "ASK AN ASTRONOMER" and HE WILL ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, HE ANSWERED MINE IN LIKE 5 MIN. So WE will all be safe in 2012. Don't worry about magnetic pole shifts or anything like that  

Answer 2

no thats completely a lie....when Jesus comes and the rapture happens the world ends

Answer 3

yeah man... totally.  hopefully you still have a few gallons of Y2K water in your basement you can use.

Answer 4

It is indeed all c**p.

Why people can't learn to think properly is beyond me...

Below are the science arguments for why its all bollocks:

Nothing spectacular will happen in 2012 (unless you count the Olympics in London).

It is just a myth which mysteriously propagates (mostly because of the History Channel and YouTube)

The interpretation of the Mayan calendar thing is just plain wrong – it’s just the end of a cycle. And since calendars are based on astronomical motions of one kind or another, they are inherently cyclic. Our western calendar ends on December 31st every year!

Planet X/Nibiru does not exist. If it did we would have found it by now. We have mapped the sky in the infrared several times in the last 25 years (including WMAP, IRAS etc), and it would show up. It is not there. We would have found it if it existed. So all the nonsense about the return of Nibiru/Planet X is just that – nonsense

There is no scientific evidence for the existence of Nibiru

Furthermore, at the distance it must be to hit us in a little over 4 years, it would be reflecting enough light from the sun to be detectable.

Thanx to previous question from Brant and answer from bikenbeer2000, we know how bright it should be by now – it would have a apparent magnitude of 7.4 – which would not be visible with the naked eye – but easily visible in a modest telescope and would have been spotted by amateur. If there was a conspiracy to keep it quiet – it would be out of the bag by now.

Ask someone where it is supposed to be, get a pair of binoculars and look for it.

Furthermore, it is supposed to be in orbit around a brown dwarf. We have detected brown dwarfs at much larger distances than the alleged distance of the sun’s mythical brown dwarf companion, so why haven’t we seen this “star:?

The videos on YouTube that purport to have evidence are disingenuous to say the least. They put together pictures of other objects (e.g. Jupiter, comets even a dust shell around a distant red giant star) and try to scare people. There is no validity to their claims. They present NO EVIDENCE at all.

As for the predicted catastrophes – the most popular one seems to be the Pole Shift!

The sun will have a pole reversal that year – it has one every 11 years – it is not a problem.

The earth’s magnetic field is less predictable –

but is still nothing to worry about: we know that the magnetic field does not collapse in the process of reversing polarity- if it did, there would be major extinctions that correlate with the geologic record for pole reversals - there is no correlation.

Now let’s tackle the “Galactic Alignment”

Here’s a nice site that explains what it means, and explains that is does not happen on December 21st 2012:  http://alignment2012.com/whatisGA.htm

Also see the wikipedia entry: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galactic_Al...

which tells you that the precise alignment of the solstice with the Galactic equator was in 1998. It did not cause problems. The Galactic Equator is purely a human construct – not a physical thing. And we do not get any closer to the black hole in the center, which remains approximately 8000 parsecs (26,000 light years) away.

Answer 5

It may end soon, in some days, I just made a story about it !!

Answer 6

The world is not ending. The Mayan calendar simply resets in 2012, though it does still mention dates beyond this reset time.
