december 23, 2012?

Question

well is the world really end, and dont say yes to creep me out. one of my friends were tellling me this, and also saying that the sun was going to blow up because of its instabilty. and the moon is going to crash into the earth someday, and we'll have judgement day.
And i heard it was suppose to be on 6/5/06, but it wasnt and stuff like that. But is the world really going to end? on that day?

Answer 1

Nobody knows but God Himself. Your friend maybe saying that because it is the end of the Mayan calendar in 2012. They think the world will end in 2012, but their world ended a long time ago, obviously. The moon won't crash for millions of years. It might not even crash, it may drift away. The Sun has a couple billion years left before it explodes. You shouldn't worry about this in your lifetime.

Answer 2

This is the day the Mayan calendar ends its cycle. They couldn't predict the end of their own civilisation, how do you think they are going to predict the end of the world. The day will pass, like any other.

The Moon is slowly moving away from the Earth, so it will not crash into us. It is more likely to fly off in a few million years.

The Sun will eventually blow up in about 5 billion years. By that time, we will either be extinct or have found somewhere else to live.

No-one has yet predicted Judgment day correctly, it will not be any time soon. We have been waiting over 2000 years, it is unlikely to happen in our lifetime, if at all.
You're right, some people did predict that the world was going to end in 2006, peaceful, wasn't it, for a world ending?

And still we are here.

Ignore your friends. They are ignorant fools. They are relying on half baked ideas, handed down by word of mouth and distorted by the Internet and by people pretending to be mystics. The world has been here for 5 billion years, it will be here for a few years longer.
Many people like to increase the importance of today's society by making predictions of the second coming, Armageddon, etc, etc, as if we are important enough for it to happen in our lifetimes. We are no more important than people who lived in ancient Greece, or Africa in the 13th century, or Aborigines in Australia 10000 years ago. We are not "special".

Answer 3

People have been predicting the end of the world for thousands of years - long before the Aztec and Mayan civilisations even started, so that date doesn't mean a thing. Less is the fact about what your friend told you, the Sun will not explode for another 4.5 billion years, and that "instability" you have been told about is the normal, every day process of the Sun.
The Moon is in fact moving away from the Earth, and would take a large collision from another object in the system to make it crash into the Earth, so your friend could do with brushing up a bit on astronomy instead of burying her/his nose in prophetic books day in, day out.

To summarise in simpler words for your question, no, the world will not end on that day, though I do expect a lot of talk leading up to that date in 2012. Should be a fun new year's laugh at those gullible to believe everything they hear.

Answer 4

Don't believe everything you hear. Especially from that person, apparently.

The Sun is going to die in 5 billion years. That's not anytime soon. And it's not going to blow up.

The Moon is not going to crash into the Earth. It's actually moving further away.

There's no such thing as judgement day. Religion was made up to control the masses and scare people into following the laws when they had no other way of enforcing them.

The Mayan (ancient culture from central america) calendar restarts in 2012. Some very gullible people think that this means the world will end, as if a bunch of people who barely discovered the wheel knew something we don't.

Answer 5

The sun has like a billion years before it becomes a red giant enveloping the Earth. The moon is moving away from us at about 1 cm per year and the judgment day is an issue that no earthly being can predict. Your friend is blowing smoke up your you know what. Dont worry about it. Recycle and use less electricity those are the only things that can help delay the end of world.

Answer 6

Your pertaining to the tip of the Mazatec long count style calender, which predicts in ordinary terms the ideal beginning date of a wintry climate solstice approximately 2,500 years beforehand... On December twenty first 2012 at precisely 11:11 fifty 9 Greenwich time. this may be a great feat of astronomy and arithmetic... No suprise coming from an identical group of people who invented the 0 and knew precisely how long an afternoon replaced into properly over 3 hundred years until now all people else.yet they never reported something on the subject of the tip of the international or none of that mess. So instead of answering your inane question i'm going to provide you some advice: Do your guy or woman examine, do no longer pay attention to what human beings might desire to declare approximately some thing they do no longer understand, and for reference the beginning date of this calender occurs to coincide with Christianity's great flood, and the Hindu's demise of Krishna... the two very important activities. Like I reported, look into the whole element.

Answer 7

well, yes, eventually the sun is going to get cold or blow up. and if you wait long enough the moon migh crash into the earth. But this is all in billions ( or at least millions) of years, so nothing much for you to worry about, unless you plan on living forever.

The "world" as in the earth will end eventually, but by then people will probably have at least partially moved off earth or some people will be on space ships. no one knows how far in the futer "judgement day" can be, so stop worying.

Answer 8

It's true-supposedly it's the final end of the Mayan calendar cycle.
and the beginning of the "next world".

Don't worry though, there's no evidence to suggest that they were talking about the destruction of Earth or human beings or anything along those lines.

If I had to guess as to an event that the Maya might have in mind-and they supposedly predicted the collapse of their own civilization, so who knows what they really knew?-it might be the invention of real artificial intelligence and a resultant mental "singularity" past which nothing will ever really be the same for the human race-good or bad.

By the way, there are still descendants of Maya around, it's just their civilization that got flattened.

Answer 9

No one knows when the world will end. Will it end, Yes just like everything else in the universe. But prophecies that give a date are, most likely full of it. Theres no concrete evidence that Edger Casey or the Oracle of Delphi were correct. It's all open to conjecture. As you said, the world according to some people was suppose to end on 6/5/06. I think we survived that date. So i wouldn't worry.

Answer 10

That's the last day of a major cycle (approximately 5,125 years) on the Mayan calendar. It's supposed to signify the beginning or end of a major event on earth, possibly the end of the world. However, I don't see why they would have any inside information on when the world is ending. Frankly, I always figure that people who worry about this sort of thing need a hobby, because they obviously aren't doing enough to keep their minds occupied.
