Will the World end in 2012? Will the human race survive until then?

Question

According to the mayaan calendar the world is supposed to end in 2012? Do you think we will be extinguished before then???BTW the mayans havent been wrong about anything so far, and havent been off by even a second so why does in their calendar stop in 2012???

Good question to think about....

Answer 1

I think it is a waste of time to consider this.

Answer 2

The world doesn't end after 11:59 pm on Dec. 31 does it?

Answer 3

Anything's possible, but I'm not going to count on it.

People will probably use it as an excuse to party more come December 2012.

Answer 4

I think the Mayan clandar ends in 2012 because it was a far as they expected to have to plot it out.  It's a sort of "end of the world as we know it" thing.  As it turns out, they were about 600 years too optimistic.  Their world certainly came to an earlier end.  I don't think I agree that the Mayan calandar hasn't been wrong since, although I certainly agree that it is remarkably precise in terms of keeping time.  

Human kind will survive long after 2012.  All things considered, I suspect it would take some very serious events and a period of many decades to eradicate humanity completely, after all.  We've pread across the globe into nearly every environment, and we adapt fairly quickly to change.  My sincere hope is that 2012 will mark the end of Earth being the center of human history as human kind takes the first leaps to colonize other worlds.

Luck!
