For all the madness...
2012 doomsday? I don’t think so :D
The mayan calendar just ends there. Doesnt mean the world does. They probably got tired of making calendars for year they’d never see. How would they know? And if they are “predicting” from the stars without telescopes or any information at all, i dont think it is true. People said the world would end at year 2000.
I got this from somewhere… :
-------------------------------------
First off, the Mayans never predicted the end of the world. Their calendar ended -- which in my mind, doesn’t imply the end if the world. Their calendar cycle was different from the one we rely on. They were conquered by the Europeans and killed off or enslaved before they had a chance to make a new one. It’s like saying the world will end in 2010 because we haven’t printed any calendars for that year yet.
Let’s examine the myths put forward by those who think the world will end in 2012.
Mayans predicted it: As I’ve already stated, the Mayans never predicted the end of the world for 2012.
Nibiru/Planet X: Imaginary planets have a terrible habit of never crashing into the Earth. IF Nibiru was real, we would’ve seen it by now. It would also have to have an insanely high eccentric orbit. It doesn’t make sense that such a planet would exist. NASA has never imaged it; neither have the millions of amateur astronomers out there who would be able to see it with a small telescope..
Planetary alignment: Ok, complete planetary alignment is never possible seeing as all the planets orbit on different planes. They can never be perfectly aligned with each other. And even if they were, the distance between them is too great for it to have any significant effects on the Earth..
Solar storm: Our sun goes through natural 11-year cycles of increased and decreased solar activity. These happen every 11 years, and aren’t going to destroy the world in 2012. If there was a huge solar flare, our magnetosphere would do a good job of toning it down a whole lot. No such events have been scientifically predicted to take place in 2012.
Pole shift: Pole shift theory simply implies that the magnetic North and South poles move in position every year. If this theory is correct, then they’ve been moving for a while now, and will also move in 2012. But that certainly doesn’t spell out the end of the world. Poles shifting completely is not “pole shift”, but rather “geomagnetic pole reversal”, which I’ll talk about next.
Geomagnetic pole reversal: This is unpredictable. It’s happened multiple times, but cannot be detected. There’s the same chance of it happening today as there is in 2012. They’re simply unpredictable. Also keep in mind that they haven’t been proven to have actually happened, although there’s a lot of evidence supporting them.
Galactic alignment: On the 21 of each year in December, the Earth passes almost directly in alignment to the center of the galaxy, but misses it by a couple degrees. Due to the natural wobble of the Earth, it will make an alignment every once in a while. But this has happened several times before, and won’t magically cause the world to end in 2012.
LHC: People also think the LHC is going to end the world based on the idea that it will make a black hole and suck up the Earth, despite the fact that it has about a 0% chance of making any microscopic black hole, and even if it did, it would evaporate due to Hawking Radiation before it had a chance to gain enough mass to do any significant damage. I have the exact math saved on file -- email me if you want to see it.
Moral of the story is that the world won’t end in 2012. There’s no reason to think it will.

I was quite convinced after reading this :D Chill everyone.
