They didn't end the world on 12-21-2012. People misinterpreting their Long Count Calendar decided this. It is a bunch of hogwash. The Long Count doesn't end on that or any other date. In fact that is the first day of Baktun 13-it's not remotely any kind of ending.

Why should I trust primitive people who didn't have the benefits of science and technology when it comes to dating the end of the world? I see no reason to.
At any rate, that's just the end of the Mayan calender. I don't see why that would be an earth-ending event.

It is the end and the begininig of a new way of life because our sun will end its journey around a much larger star at that day. It does a complete orbit every 26000 yr as our earth does its own orbit every 366 days to start a new year or its own rotation every 24 hr to start a new day, but we do not die.

It's so close to the Asteroid even around 2030 that giving for slop in their math, they might be close.
There is a 20-40% chance that we will have an Asteroid smack into up +- 5 years from 2030.

The calender just stops, it never says the world ends. People have made that part up. People believe some kind of event will happen, but who knows.

the mayans didn't believe in linear time, they thought it was cyclical. their calendar reflected this. if their civilisation had not collapsed a thousand years ago, they probably would have gotten around to drawing up a new calendar by now, they had already gone through four or five cycles if i remember it right.

NO ONE knows the time or date of the end.
