Answer 1

Well mankind has been expecting the worst for the last 5 or 6 thousand years, and we're still here, so stop worrying, can you imagine what it must have been like to live in London during the plague of the 1600's? then followed by the great fire, it must have seemed like the end of the world right there, then there was the two world wars that killed millions, the dropping of the atomic bomb, the holocaust, life is comparatively quiet these days.

The 2012 thing is about the Mayan calendar, it stops in 2012, giving rise to the thought that the world will end then, there could be a lot of other explainations, like the civilisation that made it died out, which it did or they just thought that life would have died out by then, lets face it these long dead blokes doing advanced astronomy in the middle of the jungle are hardly likely to be worried about what we think about the date they decided to stop.

On a more gloomy note, even if the world did blow up, which isnt likely, there is bugger all you can do about it, so stop wasting your life fretting and live it!

Answer 2

The more one learns about their fears, the less mystifying and overwhelming those fears become. That being said, the 12-21-12 Doomsday theory is a heap of illogical, uneducated pseudo-babble. True, the Mayan long-count calendar ends on December 12, 2012, which is represented as 13.0.0.0.0 on that calendar. This is the date of the Winter Solstice (shortest day of winter). The significance of that date merely indicates the first time in about 28,000 years where the earth and the sun come 360 degrees back into alignment with the galactic plane (at exactly 11:11 universal time). Technically, the Mayan calendar doesn't end on this date, it just starts over (like a clock).

Unfortunately, humanity is more likely to end itself, than the world coming to an end. Until the dawn of nuclear weaponry, humankind had never once been confronted with even the slim possibility of complete self-destruction. Such wartime doctrines as M.A.D. (Mutually Assured Destruction), have kept billions in the clutches of fear. In humanity's relative technological and scientific immaturity, the greatest challenge is (possibly) the feat of surviving ourselves.

The total years of humanity's existence represent only 1% of Earth's lifetime, up to this point. With the majority of all the species on Earth being extinct, it seems more likely that the Earth will outlive humanity. As bleak and pessimistic as that may seem, it does give perspective to the undeniable need for more responsible actions made by our leaders, nations, and all people living on this miniscule lump of rock and metal floating helplessly around a single star in a neighborhood of trillions.

Answer 3

If the world ends in 2012, I for one will be a little surprised.
This is based on interpretation of the Mayan calender, which was split in to Ages. The current one is due to end in 2012, but it should be noted that in spite of numerous ends of previous Ages the world is still spinning.
Their world might have been due to come to an end, I'd be willing to lay a tenner on it that nobody else's would.
Of course, all the Maya are dead long ago, so I don't think they'll be around to see if they got it right or not.

Answer 4

The earth may one day be hit by an asteroid, Solar flaring might burn us up. millions of years from now the sun will increase it's heat and boil the outer layer of earth.

Though perhaps humanity will reach out to distant worlds?. lets hope.

There's no real point in worrying about it since it's probably going to happen and probably not in your life time.
If you're on a plane while it's going down. There's no point worrying about the crash but rather relaxing cause at that! moment there's nothing you can do about it.

I'm not saying give in(because perhaps in the future something can be done about it), but rather, let go.

Answer 5

Have you ever seen the film AI? It's excellent! In it society has all this great technology like robots that look exactly like humans, and cars that can fly and go under the sea and everything. However there are still a lot of problems because humans are selfish and their minds are a mess.

I think right now things are kind of similar. A few people have loads and loads of money and billions of people have very little money. People are too selfish and it causes big problems. Every day billions of dollars are spent on weapons and weapons technology, when they should be spent helping people who are sick or starving.

Will society fall apart? Maybe. Who knows? All we can do is try to change ourselves and become more considerate and less selfish. If everybody does this then we will survive and maybe even colonize other planets and that sort of stuff.

Answer 6

The great ascension has been predicted to be around 2012, which means all those who wish to live in love and light will be lifted to the new Earth being constructed now. It is likened to the heaven on Earth from the scriptures, whereas those whom are refusing to leave the darkness, will be like the burning of chaff from the wheat and confined to their own lower heavens for as long as God decrees.

Answer 7

The world was due to end in 1982 and 1984 and 1999 and in the year 2000.
Guess what, it didn't happen.

One thing is for sure; one day YOU will die. It maybe tomorrow or it may be in a hundred years from now. Whether this will happen in a mass destruction or individually, no-one can possibly know.

Here is the important bit; You will only get one chance to live this life so live it to the full. Make the most of every opportunity and don't worry about stuff that may or may not happen.

Answer 8

The end of the world comes for everyone on their final day on earth. That is as much as we know, except maybe that volcano which is threatening Yellowstone Park in America, it will certainly create another bottleneck when it blows..

Answer 9

Answer 10

Don't get so worked up.

2012 is when the Mayan Calendar ended, nothing more. For some reason people find it disturbing that it had and end.
