Will 2012.................?

Question

really bring the end of the world

Answer 1

the world is not going to end in 2012. There is no scientific proof, or evidence for that matter. People think that the world is going to end because that’s when the mayan calendar ends. If this is why the world is going to end then we might as well say that the world is going to end on December 31 2009 because no calendars have been printed for 2010 yet. Its an absurd idea that has been shamelessly endorsed by yahoo, google, the news media, and even the history channel.

that’s the short answer. Here’s the long one:

There are a couple theories on how the world will supposedly end in 2012. I will give you examples, and shoot the ideas down for you.

The most popular idea is that planet x, is going to come to the earth and block the sunlight. First of all, it is not “the planet x” it’s “a planet x”. planet x is a generalized term that caught on a couple hundred years ago that was used to describe unknown planets of our solar system. Neptune was once a planet x. astronomers calculated that the orbital period of Uranus was affected by another object, probably a planet, that was beyond Uranus. They calculated the orbital period of this planet x, and found where it would be at a specific time. They saw the planet, and it was no longer considered planet x. it got its name- Neptune. Scientists miscalculated the orbital period of Neptune being affected by another planet, but by chance their miscalculations revealed Pluto. This icy world was also considered planet x, and was first seen in 1930. It was considered a planet until 2006 when it was demoted to a dwarf planet, and now a plutoid. Sedna, quaour, eris, and ceris were all considered planet x’s, and were eventually classified as plutoids.

Now that you know the true definition of a planet x, lets talk about the scientific improbabilities of a planet x that is going to travel all the way to the earth. First of all, I have gone to college, and received a PhD in astronomy and astrophysics and I have never heard of nibiru. According to recent data, there may be another planet larger than earth lying in the kupiter belt. to get to earth it would have to get through the beatings of countless asteroids, and the gravitational pull of the four gas giants of the outer solar system - Neptune, Uranus, Saturn, and Jupiter. I wouldn’t be surprised if it became a moon of one of those planets on its way. Anyway, if it did get through the gas giants, it has to get through another asteroid belt, as well as mars. It will most likely be shot into outer space, or into the sun where it will burn up. If it did manage, by some miracle, to get in front of the earth, it would be in a different gravitational shell. It would be closer, which means it will orbit the sun faster than the earth, therefore it will move away from us. So that’s not going to happen.

Another theory is about the asteroid. Its going to hit earth or whatever. Here’s why it won’t work: the asteroid has to take the same path to get to the earth as planet x, but it is even smaller, and will take more of a beating. If it got through everything, it would just crash into our moon probably. If it did come to earth, the atmosphere would burn it up so much that there would probably be nothing left for it to hit earth.

All other theories are just as absurd. Nothing is going to happen in 2012, except for the same things that could happen any other year.

Answer 2

By early in July 2008 questions about 2012 had been asked more than 10,000 times.  I have given a version of this answer more than 140 times.  See also -

This stuff is all lies and fraud to get people buying faked up books, videos, watching nonsense shows on TV and directing traffic to fraudulent websites.

Pole shifts - no, not a chance.  The Earth’s axis of rotation is stabilised by the Moon’s gravity.  

Magnetic poles flip - no, they will just keep moving as usual.  They are likely to change ends at some time in the geologically near future but it will take hundreds to thousands of years to happen.  Meanwhile, the magnetic field will not disappear, but it will probably get more complex.  

Mayan calendar - one of their calendars ends in 2012. There is no prediction attached to this and even if there was, it would be astrology and that has been disproved so many times that it's not worth any more words.

Solar maximum - expected in 2011, not 2012 and it happens every 11 years anyway.

Predicted planetary “alignments” are completely false.  The positions of the planets will be about as far from an "alignment" as you can imagine.  The next "alignment" of the major planets is expected sometime after the Sun burns out.  Even if it did happen the question would arise "So what?"  Where is the physical connection between Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn etc?  

Gravity?  Like to calculate how strong the gravitational effects of Mars, Jupiter and Saturn is on Earth?  Multiply the masses of the planets together, divide by the square of the distance between them and then multiply by the gravitational constant, which is a rather small number.  Now add them all together and you still don't have a hill of beans.

Newton knew how more than 200 years ago, but our planetary alignment freaks never care to because the result would make them look as silly as they are.  

Venus will transit the Sun in June 2012, just as it did in 2004 and on a regular roughly 110 year cycle before that.  No noticeable effect then except on astronomers, some of whom will take measurements, no expected effect this next time.

Planet X / black hole / brown dwarf / wandering planet - No.  It was predicted for 2003 by a loony woman who claimed telepathic contact with aliens.  No sign of it then and still no sign of it.  If this big nasty exists it must be quite close by now and visible with a fairly ordinary astronomical telescope.  Where is it?  The assumption that it can only be seen from the southern hemisphere and therefore astronomers don’t see it is nonsense, there are many large optical and some radio astronomical telescopes in Chile and Australia.

Nibiru was originally a separate scare and depends on some faked-up scholarship by a fraud called Z. Sitchin.  He claimed to be able to read cuneiform, a script used by Assyrians, Babylonians and Sumerians among others.  He could not but others can.  He claimed that some old Babylonian texts talked of a planet with a 3600 year orbit that passed close to Earth.  This planet was inhabited by aliens who landed on Earth to enslave people into producing gold for them.

In fact Nibiru is an old Mesopotamian name for the planet Jupiter, which will be staying right in its accustomed orbit, thank you very much.  Sitchin disagreed with the "Planet X" loony.  

25,800 year cycles.  This is called "precession of the equinoxes" and was discovered a bit more than 2100 years ago. It has been happening since the Earth formed billions of years ago and will not stop, start or change direction in 2012.    There is no particular significance in the direction the poles of rotation happen to be pointing at present or in 2012.  

The Bible codes were disproved within months of the first book coming out, similar coded messages can be found in any random book or even newspapers using the same "anything goes" methods faked up by the author, Michael Drosnin.  He used the codes to predict a nuclear war starting in 1997.  Ooops.  

Revelation - nobody ever made sense of those febrile maunderings, the evidence for that is that there are so many different interpretations.  It has been used to predict the end on dozens of dates from the year 500AD right up to April 2008.

Nostradamus never predicted anything accurately and he may not have intended to.  Many editions of his quatrains contain faked verses inserted long after he died.

Galactic central plane - we are near it, so astronomers say, but we have always been near it, though nobody actually knows exactly where it is.  No exact "alignment" is possible because of the angle of the ecliptic to that of the galactic central plane.  A rough “alignment” of Sun, Earth and the galactic centre happens twice every year and nothing happens.  Even if there was an exact “alignment”, the question would be "So what?"

Photon belt - this one is almost the silliest of the lot.  The Earth was expected to enter this region in 1997 with remarkable effects.  Ooops.  The “photon belt” is also said to be around the "7 Sisters".  Our solar system is heading away from them, not towards them.  It does not exist anyway.

This is all fake scholarship, pseudo-science, lies, superstition and abject delusion.

Answer 3

NO!!! dont get into that religion! THE WOLRD WONT END UNTIL 4.6 BILLION YEARS PASSED! THE UNIVERSE IS STILL TOO YOUNG

Answer 4

BS SHUT THE  ABOUT THIS WHY DO YOU EVEN CARE ABOUT OUR OPINION!!! i bet you jest made this post jest for the fun of it didnt you!!!!

Answer 5

It's interesting that you ask that.

I think not, despite what the Mayan calendar says. I think that it will just bring about a new age, but not the actual death of all living things on earth...or the destruction of the whole planet.

But, then again, that could be my ignorance taking hold of me ;)

Answer 6

Unlikely.  There have been many predictions of the world's ending, and we're still here.  In 2013, the year 2012 will be known as the year that the world didn't end.

There are lots of pretty silly reasons given.

1. The Mayan calendar ends.  That really means it flips over.  Much as our calendar recently went from 1999 to 2000.

2. Planet X is coming from way out there to hit us.  We'd have seen it.  We have sky surveys.  Big objects are bright.  Consider than the Moon is as bright as tar, meaning not very.  Yet it's hard to miss.  Modern telescope can see Comet Haley even when it's out by Neptune.  This object would have to be closer already.

and so on.

Answer 7

No!!!

You can't just say that the world will end in an exact year!!!

Answer 8

Your Galaxy, my friend is one of many that have a cycling, recycling system to it. 1st it expands then recoils. Over and over. These are called re-calculative galaxies. This cycle you are now in is set to recycle...or recoil in the between the years 3786 or 3797.

So to answer the question? No; but all that is will start again.

Answer 9

maybe 2012 was the last year on their calendar because that was the year the had planned to get killed by spanish conquistadores. but the spaniards beat them by a good 600 years. no i dont know, but i do recall when the new millenium was about to begin that everyone was like "my computer is going to explode" and did they?

Answer 10

NO!!!  this is just some stupid myth based off of the Mayan calendar cycle ending and a misconception of their prophecy. they didnt day the apocalypse is going to occur, just some cataclismic event like a tsunami or hurricane

Answer 11

Do you know what will happen within 2 min?  No one can know what will happend or won't.  Sure there have been those who have "seen" things, but until and unless they have happend, it is never a sure thing.  Cause even with these "seen" things, man can divert the paths.  Like if it has been written the world will end in 2012, due to some war, the war can be prevented from men, by making sure any threats are deflected by peacekeeping.  So no prediction can  be predicted 100%.

Answer 12

I swear I have seen this question get asked about 10 times in the past two days. . . *sigh* There real answer is that no one knows for sure. There is no proof that it will end and there is no proof that it will continue on. It is simply a belief based on religious belief, not scientific fact to back it up. The world has supposedly been ending for decades now and it still has yet to happen. If "something" is going to happen, then it will, if not, ohwell. We don't know!

Answer 13

ohhh yeah
