Scary 2012?

Question

is ut true that dec 21 2012 is the end of the world? cause im kinda scared. im a little kid. im really worried....

Answer 1

That whole theory about the world ending in 2012 is based on the Mayan calender which ends in 2012.  I have a Peoples Almanac and in it there is a perpetual calender that ends in 2084 but I'm not going around telling people that's when the world will end.

Answer 2

No , no evidence of that the world is going to end on that date.

Answer 3

No the world is not going to end. Now stop trolling, a little kid is smart enough to know how to type properly.

Answer 4

I'll probably die before then, and I'm still a kid to.

Besides, if the world ends so do your problems.

Answer 5

hmmm lets think for a sec, 6/6/06 nope 1/1/2000 nope rapture? nope all those whack jobs nah people say this c**p all the time, i'll talk to you on december 22 2012

Answer 6

the world can end any day.

don't be scared or worried.

you're young, go live your life and enjoy every second. [:

since other people are saying on december 21, 2012 is a new era, i guess it's true. but that doesn't mean the world is going to end. its a new beginning. [:

Answer 7

No idea. Go find an ancient Mayan, to explain to you how they got that date.

Answer 8

This is a myth based on the irresponsible, (and repeated) airing of a ridiculous pseudo-documentary on the History Channel. That network, and the Discovery Channel and Fox, will air anything they feel will get a bigger audience. Sometimes, their shows are good and worth watching. Other times, they are foolish, sensationalist, tabloid-style hype. It is often difficult to tell which is which, unless you know about a subject. I know about the history of doomsday predictions, pseudoscience, and astronomy.

The Mayan calendar does not predict the end of the world. They did keep an accurate calendar, but contrary to popular opinion, never predicted any world event accurately. They couldn't predict their own demise; why should they be able to predict ours?

The alignment with the galactic center is not going to happen. It comes fairly close to happening EVERY year on Dec 21, and will be exactly the same as it always is, in 2012. Even if some perfect alignment did occur, there is nothing about it that could affect the earth. It's like saying, "When these three parking spaces are occupied by three red cars, the world will come to an end."

Doomsday prophets have always been around and they are always wrong. Every 5 to 10 years, some prediction catches the public's attention and scares a lot of kids...usually thanks to irresponsible media decisions. Dozens of different doomsday scenarios have been piggy-backed on to this date since the show aired. Go to this site to see how many predicted apocalypses we have already missed.

All that Nibiru stuff is bunk, too. No such planet has ever been discovered. The claim that it was discovered some 25 years ago is not true.

Edit: between this one and the other 2012 question you asked, you have a few very good answers. Ken, for example, in answering your other question, gave you one of the best I have seen.  Hope you read it.

Answer 9

World end? no.

a Cataclyst- possibly yes

the world could end in ten seconds a minute or anytime

Answer 10

The Myan calander does not say the world will end.

Only an era will end.

The world will still go on, but we will be entering a new era.

Answer 11

Yea well there is no way of telling for sure, but the Mayans have never been wrong.

It would be better if ended in the year 2080 right? Because then you would have been able to live your life. Well if it ended then there would be little kids your age around still. Think of those little kids who will have barely experienced life before it comes to an end.

People are so selfish saying "The world cant end because I haven't lived long enough yet"!

Well tough luck wee child there will always be little kids in the world and eventually one generation will be screwed over before they reach adulthood.

If it ends in 2012 I will be finishing up college realizing I spent my entire life in school, working for a degree I cant use. So we are all gonna be pissed one way or another.

Answer 12

There's no way to no for sure but I sure hope so!

Answer 13

If your a little kid, you shouldn't be on Y!A

Dont sweat it. Just live everyday like its your last.

Answer 14

Your question should receive an answer as that of the forum you posted it in. It's mythology and folklore. No such 2012 catastrophe.

Answer 15

umm no..its only the end of their long count, which is about 5,126 years. The only reason is because they died out before they could create another Long Count. Besides, how could they predict the end of the world if they cant even predict the end of their own civilization?

Answer 16

You have to understand that to tribes like the Incas and Aztec a lunar or solar eclips was a world ending event so I would not be to worried about their wold ending  predictions...........

Answer 17

I bet several men $1000 apiece that the world will not end in 2012. I am absolutely certain I will win. This whole thing is based upon ignorance and lies. It is sad that anyone would want to scare kids with such absurd tales.

Answer 18

it may be the end of the world as you know it but not the end of the "WHOLE WORLD!" - the earth it's self being destroyed, it could just mean a great change in the way the world will be run as a whole!

example : the industrial revolution changed the way farming & other forms of business were done!
