Question

do you think something possibly catastrophic will happen on December 21, 2012? just curious to know other peoples opinions...the mayan calendar ending and all but theres more to it than it seems if ya do a lil reseaarch

Answer 1

Sure is. In 2012 the sun will be ending a regular 11 year cycle. However, it will also be the end of a 26,000 cycle called the procession of the equinoxes. The culmination of these two events, among other celestial cycles that are to complete in 2012, is why the planets are heating up, why the weather is getting freaky, and why everyone is acting strange. Keep in mind that out bodies are controlled by electrical impulses that can be affected by outside stimuli. If the sun gets crazy, so do we.
Scientists are predicting a very active sunspot cycle. One that will put the one in 2001 to shame. In that one, communication satellites were damaged and there were problems with power grids around the world. They are suspecting that the gamma rays will be significant enough to potentially destroy some satellites and some ground equipment. Worse, they are certain of a big CME (Coronal Mass Ejection). Their only hope is that we are not facing that side of the sun when it happens.

Answer 2

Yes, potentially a cosmic line-up of the sun and the center of the galaxy could cause the magnetic poles of the earth to swap positions. The magnatic field that surrounds the earth protects us from all sorts of nasty things in space, like solar radiation, and it is also responsible for controling the weather of the earth. If the poles do indeed flip, (which has happened in the past and may have caused the ice age or other mass extinctions on earth, there have been at least 5) it would not be a good thing. So most likely nothing bad will happen on December 21st 2012, however there is some scientific evidence that something, may happen.

Answer 3

I think that the most catastrophic thing that will happen on that date is the number of people who will experience a significant drop in self-esteem because they chose to believe in something this stupid.

Saying the word "science" does not make something scientific. If you would really like to know when the world will end, I suggest you do some research on the life and death of stars and figure out how long you have until the sun supernovas and swallows the earth. Or you could become involved in the search for dangerous asteroids.

Answer 4

it somewhat is suggestion is predicated off a Mayan calendar (this is the twelve months the calendar stops). i don't understand why or how the Mayans got here to the conlusion that it somewhat is while the earth would end. i don't take it that heavily. everybody concept the international would lead to 2000 or while the planets final all aligned up. fact is, there is not any understanding while the earth will end. And im seeing way too many questions approximately this date on right here.

Answer 5

No, nothing special will happen on that date. I don't care what the Mayans said, or rather what a few modern people interpret their writings to mean.

Answer 6

thats along time from now only worried about whats going to happen 7-15-2007.

Answer 7

nothing will happen. the calender does not end its cycle will end but a new one will begin when this one is over so its not an end but really a begining

Answer 8

No. Catastrophe will strike on the 22nd, not the 21st.

Answer 9

At least for some people.

Answer 10

I'd just be glad to be alive then ... and if I am I'll let you know.
