As far as I know, the galaxy clock theory applies to a relatively new theory in quantum physics. Since Einstein's law states that no object of mass can go faster than the speed of light, the galaxy clock theory seems to contradict that. The galaxy clock theory supposedly shows how to reduce or eliminate an object's mass and allow it to become as light as the mass of photons (almost zero) more specifically by allowing an object to absorb the wavelengths of photons to reduce mass. By elimanting the restriction of mass, an object can then travel at the speed of light without having to use more and more propulsion to project it as it would if it had conventional mass restrictions. Supposedly NASA has some photgraphic proof that the galaxy clock is a viable theory but I am not convinced yet. Good question and worth taking the time to research more.

You may be referring to a theory promulgated by the Mayan Indians nearly 15,000 years ago---that this galaxie would conclude on Dec 23, 2012. The Mayans have been "right on" with many predictions over this 15 thousand year period,
so their accuracy rate is generally not a matter of question.
