Sad as the world is right now it might not be a bad thing if human society collapses.

But yeah the mayan calender cycles through various "ages" and this will be the 6th age of the world.

As long as it doesn't take the rest of the planet with it, that sounds cool

I've never been one for the 'human supremacy' thing - for the most part, humans are just another animal.

And perhaps, just perhaps, there's been a form of humanity around on this planet numerous times before, and good ole Mother Nature has managed to wipe it out and start all over again. Just cos they haven't found the evidence doesn't necessarily mean that there weren't some sort of people running around with the dinosaurs... (just sayin'... that's all...)

I'm thinking of standing on a busy street corner with a sign saying "You have no chance to survive make your time."

..think it'll go over well?

Whats really funnny is three people I know who are wiccans, 2 people who claim to be psychic and 1 christian have all told me that there is something big building up and/or we are on the cusp of a major psychic/spiritual shift in the world. Sooooo maybe that party might be a good idea. That way if they are right either we wont have to worry about the hangover the next day or it'll be one helluva doozy.

[Slytovhand]

Probably - everyone will go out, get pissed, do completely ridiculous things in anticipation of it all - and then have to come back to reality the day after... that'll totally destroy the world (oooh - repercussions from last nights shenanigans...oops )

There are a number of events that are supposed to happen on Dec 21th 2012.
The Mayan calender ending.
A reversal in the gravitational field!
Winter Solstice Sun with the crossing point of the Galactic Equator (Equator of the Milky Way) and the Ecliptic (path of the Sun),
Etc Etc, I dont care.

Thing is, Dec 21st, 2012 is my birthday so I am hoping I get a super wish granted and the whole universe blows itself up.

[Slytovhand]

I'm presuming Miyon is being a bit satirical, but just in case you're not.... what???

What the hell is a "reversal in the gravitational field!"??

And the Winter Solstice happens every year, but on that particular year isn't apparently much better than we're likely to get other than any other particular year in this little cycle (given a few hundred thousand years of rotations...)

Eitherway... I'll put in an early Happy Birthday

Thanks on the Bday.

Actually all the stuff I listed can be found online on 2012 doomsday websites.

The Mayan calender will "end" on that date, but like many mention, it is more then likely it will just reset itself back to 1 or the beginning rotation.

The Gravity thing is, to me, very confusing because most sites differ on what it means or what it will do.
The only bits I can gather is that the Earth has a wobble in its rotation and every millions, thousand, hundred (again each site says different things) the wobble slowly gets stronger until it does something like, flip/flops and the earth rotates at a different axis.
(again please note, I barely understand it and there are very few websites that agree on what it means)

As for the winter solstice it is some kind of alignment with the center of the milky-way and I can honestly say, I got no clue what that means to the Earth.

What i posted before was copied from one of those webpages, I forget which one.
Oh, also note that the things I did list in that other post are like 3 possible things that will happen on that day out of about 100 other possible things that will happen.
So the long and short of it, a bunch of stuff that no one can agree on will happen on my birthday so I think its kind of fun.

Example:
http://www.greatdreams.com/2012.htm
"The date December 21st, 2012 A.D. (13.0.0.0.0 in the Long Count), represents an extremely close conjunction of the Winter Solstice Sun with the crossing point of the Galactic Equator (Equator of the Milky Way) and the Ecliptic (path of the Sun), what that ancient Maya recognized as the Sacred Tree. This is an event that has been coming to
resonance very slowly over thousands and thousands of years. It will come to resolution at exactly 11:11 am GMT. "

http://www.godrealized.com/2012.html - I cant put into words how crazy the stuff on this site says about the 2012 theory

http://curious.astro.cornell.edu/que...php?number=686 - this one disputes a lot, but also gives more information about the astronomical stuff I listed above.

This just in!!!!

According to Sun, which is a trash magazine that is a wannabe Weekly World News magazine, there is an article in their July 14, 2008 issue about a new Dead Sea scroll prophecy. It says (supposedly) that Judgment Day is 9/11/08. There will be no warning. Nothing. God will not come down to judge us one at a time, but our fates will already be determined before hand.

Now, back to your regularly scheduled programming.




Yes, I do read trash magazines, but it's only for the entertainment value. I do not believe a word they write between their pages. Thank you.

The Gravity thing is, to me, very confusing because most sites differ on what it means or what it will do.

It's probably the Magnetic field that will switch, however I'm not aware of there being any reliable method of working out when that will be.

The only difference you'll note is that your compass needle will face south instead of north.

[Slytovhand]

If it's the magenetic field, yes.. I've heard of that one changing. I've also heard that can be a major problem of the catastrophic kind (apparently there are fossil records to indicate this...??? I'm about to finish work and couldn't be bothered to do any searching...). But then, it's supposed to happen sometime in the next 1000 years or so....

IDAR... is that November or September? (being used to a dd/mm/yy format here...)

[IDrinkaRum]

Slyt - sorry, about that! September 11, 2008 will be the day that the world ends. At least according to the Dead Sea Scrolls & the Sun.

[lordlundar]

And let me guess, they started declaring this after 9/11/2007, right?

[blas87]

The only good thing that could come of the world ending in 2012 would be that I wouldn't have to live to be the only one of my friends who grows up to be a single old spinster...and I could get a 5 year loan right NOW and never have to finish paying it

In all reality, I don't believe the hype. Some of my coworkers saw a program about 2012 on the History channel and are dead convinced that science and history are right, Nostradomus predicted this, etc etc, and that this WILL happen. I think they are paranoid. Mind you, these people refuse to believe in the paranormal, but think the world is going to end in 4 short years.

So many times, the world has been predicted to end on such and such a day and year. I doubt it.
