7 reasons the world will end in 2012 by Phillip on 05-17-2007 at 03:18 PM
Scientific experts from around the world are genuinely predicting that five years from now, all life on Earth could well finish. Some are saying it'll be humans that set it off. Others believe that a natural phenomenon will be the cause. And the religious folks are saying it'll be God himself who presses the stop button...
1. Mayan Calendar
The first mob to predict 2012 as the end of the world were the Mayans, a bloodthirsty race that were good at two things:
Building highly accurate astrological equipment out of stone and
Sacrificing Virgins.
Thousands of years ago they managed to calculate the length of the lunar moon as 329.53020 days, only 34 seconds out. The Mayan calendar predicts that the Earth will end on December 21, 2012. Given that they were pretty close to the mark with the lunar cycle, it's likely they've got the end of the world right as well.
2. Sun Storms
Solar experts from around the world monitoring the sun have made a startling discovery: our sun is in a bit of strife. The energy output of the sun is, like most things in nature, cyclic, and it's supposed to be in the middle of a period of relative stability. However, recent solar storms have been bombarding the Earth with so much radiation energy, it's been knocking out power grids and destroying satellites. This activity is predicted to get worse, and calculations suggest it'll reach its deadly peak sometime in 2012
3. The Atom Smasher
Scientists in Europe have been building the world's largest particle accelerator. Basically its a 27km tunnel designed to smash atoms together to find out what makes the Universe tick. However, the mega-gadget has caused serious concern, with some scientists suggesting that it's properly even a bad idea to turn it on in the first place. They're predicting all manner of deadly results, including mini black holes. So when this machine is fired up for its first serious experiment in 2012, the world could be crushed into a super-dense blob the size of a basketball.
4. The Bible says...
If having scientists warning us about the end of the world isn't bad enough,religious folks are getting in on the act aswell. Interpretations of the Christian Bible reveal that the date for Armageddon, the final battle between Good an Evil, has been set down for 2012. The I Ching, also known as the Chinese book of Changes, says the same thing, as do various sections of the Hindu teachings.
5. Super Volcano
Yellowstone National Park in the United States is famous for its thermal springs and Old Faithful geyser. The reason for this is simple - it's sitting on top of the world's biggest volcano, and geological experts are beginning to get nervous sweats. The Yellowstone volcano has a pattern of erupting every 650,000 years or so, and we're many years overdue for an explosion that will fill the atmosphere with ash, blocking the sun and plunging the Earth into a frozen winter that could last up to 15,000 years. The pressure under the Yellowstone is building steadily, and geologists have set 2012 as a likely date for the big bang.
6. The Physicists
This one's case of bog-simple maths mathematics. Physicists at Berekely Uni have been crunching the numbers. and they've determined that the Earth is well overdue for a major catastrophic event. Even worse, they're claiming their calculations prove, that we're all going to die, very soon - while also saying their prediction comes with a certainty of 99 percent- and 2012 just happens to be the best guess as to when it occurs.
7. Slip-Slop-Slap-BANG!
We all know the Earth is surrounded by a magnetic field that sheilds us from most of the sun's radiation. What you might not know is that the magnetic poles we call north and south have a nasty habit of swapping places every 750,000 years or so - and right now we're about 30,000 years overdue. Scientists have noted that the poles are drifting apart roughly 20-30kms each year, much faster than ever before, which points to a pole-shift being right around the corner. While the pole shift is underway, the magnetic field is disrupted and will eventually disappear, sometimes for up to 100 years. The result is enough UV outdoors to crisp your skin in seconds, killing everything it touches.
Note: This was posted just for a general chit chat. The thread was not meant to scare anyone and I personally believe that the world is not going to end in 2012. Anyone that posts abuse towards me because of it or spams in my thread will be given negative rep.
RE: 7 reasons the world will end in 2012 by CookieRevised on 05-17-2007 at 04:59 PM
1) If it isn't the Maya's calender than it is another calender which predicts the end of the world. When that passes it is suddenly yet another calender or religion which predicts it 'with all certainty'...
It also highly depends on who interprets the calender and their writings btw. It is not like the Maya's said somewhere "on this date the earth will blow up".
2) Sun storms are indeed a concearn and can influence the earth and the weather a lot. Not to mention satelites, etc. Before the sun will blow up into a red giant and swollow the earth, a massive sun storm would have already destroyed a lot on earth, directly or indirectly. Although I do not believe this will 'destroy' earth at all. At best we will suffer some consequences like global warming and the likes and some problems with communication or whatever, but that's it.
3) The atom smasher: that is the most paranoid thing of all. Why is it that all of a sudden people cry out loud "oh nooooos, they are building an atom smasher and are creating black holes, we will all blow up"? Particle accelerators have existed a looooooong time, and there are already a lot of them. The _only_ reason why people are crying out loud now is that this new one has simply been on the news, nothing more. This is absolutely not "the first time they fire it up". And about those black holes and other 'deadly' results, that is absolutely BS too. That is just hear-say or whatever made by paranoids who don't even know the basics of how such partical accelerators work. You don't create universes and black holes in such machines at all... The worst that can happen is that someone with a peace maker will have a heart attack because he stands to close to a super conductive magnet of the machine, as a matter of speaking.
4) I stand corrected for what I said in point 3.... This is most BS of all... Every 10 years or so somebody comes shouting that the Bible predicts Armageddon in xxxx. Do you know that Armageddon isn't even an event, but a place? And in fact an existing place! Heck, according to a massive amount of previous Bible inspired predictions we wouldn't be here at this moment.
See a massive list of some of those predictions (douzens and douzens for each year) here: http://www.religioustolerance.org/end_wrld.htm
Let all the cults and sects commit suicide or whatever when they believe they will be saved like that if "Armageddon" is here or that they experience the Rapture. It makes the world a nicer (less paranoid) place...
5) Rubbish also.... that is, not the fact that Yellowstone is sitting on a super-volcano. But rubbish that "scientists have set the date for the big bang to 2012". The fact is that scientists do not know when it will errupt (if it will errupt at all as a super-volcano!). And the fact that it is overdue means absolutely nothing! If such a super-volcano with a cycle of 650000 years like this is overdue, it could well be another 10000 years before it even rumbles and has a hick-up.
6) erm.... yeah.... this is just as worse/good as all the other thousands of predictions over the centuries... BTW: look at the Middle-East, or Africa, Soudan, and all the other places which do not catch the 7 o'clock news. There are many genocides, clensing of whole cultures, mass hunger and starving, killing millions every day, etc... I says there are already enough catastrophic events already without needing any calculator. All you need to do is looking a bit further than your TV-set and what they might (not) tell you on the news...
7) same story as point 5....
All paranoid nonsense, very good for a Blockbuster movie or interesting to read about. Nothing to worry about...
sorry for the spelling and grammar mistakes / I really can not be bothered to check them for this post

btw, the world is always 'ending' for some, seeing as 3 people die each second.

While the pole shift is underway, the magnetic field is disrupted and will eventually disappear, sometimes for up to 100 years. The result is enough UV outdoors to crisp your skin in seconds, killing everything it touches.
It is true that the poles are swapping and that a lot of UV will come through to Earth as there will be no magnetic field. The problem with this statement is that it is going to take HEAPS longer than that for them to be at a level that we will notice. Furthermore the magnetic field will decrease slowly so it is my belief that through evolution throughout that time we will be more equipped to deal with the extra UV and stuff, the main problem stemming from migratory animals who will not be able to judge their direction at the time of the no poles. Don't be too worried though because there have been tests already to show that birds at least will after a short period of time be able to go back to a normal cycle and direction of where they are meant to be(that was done by just making a big change to the poles on the bird, like reversing it all at once and it still worked).
RE: 7 reasons the world will end in 2012 by CookieRevised on 05-18-2007 at 01:00 AM
Ok, let's quickly google and quote some facts from here and there (instead of paranoid hear-say)
The fluxuations in the magnetic field we see today are very very low compared to what the earth's magnetic field has done in the past.
Sometimes the field completely flips. The north and the south poles swap places. Such reversals, recorded in the magnetism of ancient rocks, are unpredictable and they come at irregular intervals averaging about 300,000 years; the last one was 780,000 years ago (thus not like stated in the first post every 750,000-780,000 years).
Some reversals occurred within a few 10,000 years of eachother and there are other periods where no reversals occurred for tens of millions of years.
No one knows if we are overdue or not as it is based upon chaos in the core influenced by the surface movements of the earth.
Hence why I said it is the same as point 5...
The ongoing 10% decline since a few decades doesn't mean that a reversal is imminent at all. The field is increasing or decreasing all the time. Earth's present-day magnetic field is, in fact, much stronger than normal, although decreasing. The dipole moment, a measure of the intensity of the magnetic field, is now 8 × 1022 amps × m2. That's twice the million-year average of 4× 1022 amps × m2.
Reversals take, at least, a few thousand years to complete (this alone makes the prediction of 2012 totally rediculus), and during that time, contrary to popular belief, the magnetic field does not completely vanish, it just gets more complicated with more than one south and one north pole.
Magnetic lines of force near Earth's surface become twisted and tangled, and multiple magnetic poles will pop up in unaccustomed places. A south magnetic pole might emerge over Africa, for instance, or a north pole over Tahiti. Weird. But it's still a planetary magnetic field, and it will still protects us from space radiation and solar storms. Even if the magnetic field completely vanishes, there are still meganisms which will protect us. The first human beings, homo erectus survived many reversals (otherwise we wouldn't be here). There is in fact no evidence at all that anything went extinct because of a reversal.

It's not really an end.. its a transition, at least 50% of the world's population will perish. 2008 is the 4th night, everything made after 1999 will be put to the test there, and I personaly expect massive events, having serious impact on global consciousness.. like earthquakes, hurricanes etc.. you name it
I'm no prophet and dont call me that when this happens!

Well.. to really understand the time we're in you have to be in the generation witch lived mostly before 1999. You remember everything being in order.. the world was fine as it was, nothing changed much. But now more & more of us are starting to realize within ourselfs that somethin's happening atm. We're not calm about the world.. stuf IS happening to our conscious, we feel more and more uneasy about the certainty allmost everythin.
That's because the year 1999 marked the end of the last 19.7 year cycle. Now this period is only 360 days. More and more is possible now, in 2012 it will be 20 days.. until, after 21 december 2012 everythin will be possible in every moment...
As the maya said.. the prepared ones will leave their bodies and transform to live their new heaven, the others will die.
My advice is only that you let everything happen.. dont resist it. As more and more happens, you'll probably feel like you're starting to lose your mind..
If you're at peace with yourself, you'll know what I'm talking about...
Cheers!:}

yea the magnetic pols have shown signs of changing.
but do you know the REAL reason why it's 21 2012?
1+2 = 3
23!
21 + 2 = 23
20 + 1 + 2 = 23!
give me a moment I'll think of more
anyways! you see! it fits the number! we're doomed!
then again, it's an Christian counting system, it doesn't have much to do with them.
Also the "end of days" as explained in the book "Angles And Demons", does not specifically mean the end of man kind, but rather the end of the days of believe.
mmm the global warming is growing troublesome . . .
soon enough, if we'll keep in this way (and we'll probably would), the ice will melt, release tons and tons of fresh water into the north ocean. what the problem you say? well expect for all the poor fishes that'll die, the fact that fresh water are less dense than salt water is really bad, since then the fresh water will rise above the the salt water. that means, that the hot water coming from the south in the great ocean conveyer (the golf stream is a part of it) will stay up on the surface, rather than sinking how they should when the cool down. The great ocean conveyer passes water around the world and helps regulate heat levels around the world (that's how Europe isn't as frozen as Canada). If the hot water coming from the south can't sink, they'll be unable to move back again. That means, the conveyer will stop and we'll be plummet back into an age of very unstable changes to ice ages and extremely hot ages
The north will freeze up . . .

I dont' know what will happen in 2012. End of the world? No Idea. But most of these reasons I thought were a bit of a scretch. There's only 3 Reasons why I truly trust the hypothesis of 2012.
2 of my reasons were not even on this list.
1. Yes the Mayans did predict 2012, but they did not specifically say the world would end. Their calander simply ends on this year. A little creepy.
2. If any of you were to look up celestial revelations and alignments on google, youll find the the line of the equator, the line of constalations, and the roation line of the sun all align at some time. This event happens every 13000(not sure) years or so, and the next predicted year is....2012. This study wasnt found by sceptics or some idiots trying to back up this theory, but rather by the freemasons, and is one of their main study points.
3. Nostradamus. While I really dont know that much about this, he does make a predicion on or near 2012. In his prediction he says "1999 and seven months" but if you look this up there are theories why this might actually line up to 2012. (I do think people are trying to make this seem like it lines up ith the year though.)
Personal bias aside, it does seem that there should be some though to the matter. I think freaking out and believing without a doubt the world will end is stubborn, yet at the same time saying without a doubt it wont is also stupid. It is in my opinion the SOMETHING will most likely happen. It may be a major global climate chang, the end of the world, extreme catastrophe, or maybe just a minor change. Now, feel free to criticize my spelling mistakes and call me stupid because of simple human ignorance.
Good Day.

i'm not worried about the end cuz we start dying the moment we're born so it doesn't really matter how long it takes till that moment comes... we'll die one day eitherway.
but seriously, i say we'll all die from an experiment gone awry.

The only way we'll all die anytime soon is if
a) Aliens come and kills us
b) We nuke ourselves
c) We keep killing mother earth (pollution)
Take your pick. (c) probably won't kills us by 2012 though
RE: 7 reasons the world will end in 2012 by joric on 12-11-2007 at 03:59 AM
What utter BS.
let me think back to 2000 "theres going to be a computer bug/virus/watever and no computer will ever work again.
that never happened.
the world is more likey to end in war cause us humans dont know wats bad for us.
and i dont aliens will come and destory us- if there is another intelligent life form discovered on a planet other than earth i doubt we would try to destroy each other.
though for all we know this could be the afterlife-it may be crap but if this is the after life i would hate to imagine wat real life was like. lol
perhaps we should call 2012- "the riot year"

On the contrary, it happened too often. There were many flukes in many programs. Of course, people like to blow everything out of proportion, especially the media... So no, computers didn't explode, but some software which wasn't adapted to a 4 digit year did malfunction though.
RE: 7 reasons the world will end in 2012 by androo123 on 12-12-2007 at 10:39 PM
I had always thought that we would kill ourselves with war and bombs, but three out fo the seven major reasons (#2 Sun Storms, #5 Super Volcano, and #7 Slip-Slop-Slip Bang) indicate it is nature that will kill the human race. The only scary one is the Slip-Slop-Slip Bang which is the most possible to happen, and will not only kill all of humankind, but all life.
Remember though, that these are just theories, and will not necessarily happen, so don't start going crazy and doing whatever you want in 2012, the time wont necessarily come.
The again, which theorie will happen first, if they were all going to happen? Will they happen?
I would like to see if any of these theories actually kill us in four years time.

RE: 7 reasons the world will end in 2012 by Shippo on 12-13-2007 at 05:08 PM
Here's something no one actually thought of was to happen...
I'm setting aside religious bias (I am not christian, baptist, catholic, hindu, or whatever..) aside, what about the possibility of another planet or something coming close to earth?
IMO, I believe that is the more likely case. I found some stuff about a so-called planet called "Nibiru" (it has other names, but I call it 'Death Star') that has been pretty much hidden from the general public by NASA. Honestly, I know there has to be some other sort of celestial body going out there. Nibiru is said to be about 4-8 times the size of Earth, so pretty much bigger than Jupiter. I don't know it's current location though, and it also mentioned that Antarctica is the only place to actually see this planet right now.
Nibiru is supposedly a dead or failed star, since it has been noted as a Brown Dwarf, so.. things could get messy. Planet X Facts was one site I read this stuff on. Nibiru was also mentioned on this site as well.
I'm still highly skeptical right now, but if this.... planet/star truly is real, it really could wipe out the better part of the population of Earth. I'm not saying it's the end of the world, I would just.. kinda say it's more like the end of current humanity as we see it.
I think that about ends my take on the matter... 2012 is highly debatable at the moment, and the gov. does like to cover things up fairly well.

It's your opinion, not right... for the quantum mechanic theory (and not only) now isn't possible say if the world end in 2012 or not. If the world end in 2012 and we come back to today, it's right. Else, it's wrong.. .. But in the following 5 years the fate can be changed... possible? Bohr say it, Einstein say not.. anyone is free to believe at philip's sentences..

You're eating your own words there, buddy. NASA wouldn't leave anything out for public unless they wanted to.
And that planet getting too close to Earth? Naaw. We would already see it if it was dangerously close or even 500 years away.
I see the end of the world a bit differently. I see it as a slow walk towards doom. Overpopulation, gases, shortages of materials, that kind of stuff. I believe we'll consume ourselves metaphorically speaking.

Here are two sites I looked at: X Facts and Nibiru @ Detailshere. That's just where I got that information from. Space is a big place, so something coming from the bottom of Earth isn't out of the question, or vice versa. I'm not saying it's the case, just saying it's more likely.
Even I'm skeptical of the events myself, and NASA covering up something isn't big news to me since I'm sure they may have more than once. Although, I do believe there is an asteroid (I forgot it's name) that's suppose to come by two times as predicted, both near misses. Once in 2017 I believe and the other.. I 'think' in 2038 or so.. Space holds a lot out there... so who knows...

I'm sorry I didn't read everything on this thread but I just have to reply to what this guy CookieRevised had to say cause I think he needs some glasses abd naybe a brain, so let me hit you with some knowledge..
1) You may have a point abuot the mayans, but I hope it does end on Friday December 21, 2012, cause coincidentally I was born Friday December 21, 1990, so I find that cool.
2)The dude never said the Sun would turn into a red giant or anything, and plus, dude, Sun Storms can not only knock out satellites but they can crash and destroy and mess up electronic equipment on Earth, such as radio frequencies, Televisions, COMputer's and other electronic devices, and MAY I SAY THIS, America is based ALL on electronical devices and equiptment, so if a massive Sun storm such as the one that's gonna happen in 2012 occurs, Bye bye America cause we won't be able to use anything electronic, aka, we're gonna get sent back over 10 000 years when it comes to technology, so pick up your rocks and stones.
3)"The atom smasher: that is the most paranoid thing of all. Why is it that all of a sudden people cry out loud "oh nooooos, they are building an atom smasher and are creating black holes, we will all blow up"?" just to correct you on that blackholes don't blow up they implode so we'll get sucked up not blown to pieces. ANd though you have somewhat of a point that worrying that the atom smasher is gonna open up a mini black hole and suck us up into a marble, it's a precaution that must be noticed. Think back to the Atomic Bomb, oh, it's a powerful bomb that will help us win the war, they thought, but they had no idea that they would end up scaring the lives of the Japanese that were hit by the A-bombs, the power was so devestating that years later, America and the Soviet Union(i think) agreed on a deal to stop the war, and stop the use of any nuclear bomb, cause of what it can do, so this precaution of the atom smasher should not be overlooked, nor is it BS.
4)I totally agree with you on this point sorry. Armageddon in bibles and stuff like that, I just don't buy it frankly cause I choose a more logical approach then a God who isn't even in our existing plain of life can shut us all down just cause he wants to, that my aquientence, is BS.
5)Yeah this point is also one you've proven quite well, though it would be cool if it were to happen, but yeah, it'll be another 1000 years, then another 10 000, an so forth.
6)That is a possibility BECAUSE there have bee nseveral events in the past, accordingly, that have happened about catestrophic disasters so one happening soon or now is not far fetched. The fact it's gonne be in 2012 is a bit skepticle, but the fact that it's gonne happen is probably true.
7)The poles drifting apart, that seems a little queer to say the least. Containing the fact that if this is supposed to happen to us, it's gonna happen to our other brother planets past the astroid belt. Their magnetic fields will likely fail and the gas will escape, but that hasn't happened, so it's likely not gonna hapen to us, BUT, there is a chance os our arses roasting caus eof lack of a magnetic field due to our green hosue gases tearing (slowly) an opening in our atmosphere, so the chances of us being cooked, not that far fetched either, so look out.
So yeah dude, look at it from a logical sense about some of your points, cause you may be right about somethings, but you gotta keep and open mind about ALL things.
RE: 7 reasons the world will end in 2012 by Vimto on 12-20-2007 at 04:12 PM

If the world is really going to end in 2012 I am sure there would be warnings on the news and stuff advising us to live the last years as good as we can and stuff like that... the world won't end that soon I'm sure... trust me... I know all ;]

RE: 7 reasons the world will end in 2012 by crazyassmofo on 12-20-2007 at 08:49 PM
The world will not end in 2012
In one way or another the world does end for everyone, but seperatly. There has never been and never will be (in the near future) an absolute end to the world. The world does end for each person seperatly. 3 people die each second and therefore their worlds are ending. If you think back a few centuries or even back to the beginning of the 1900's their worlds have ended. If they were to come back alive today it would be a completely different world to them. 2012 could simply be the end of the way we think of the world. Perhaps even a more peaceful environment. As for the Mayans who's to say that they said exactly 2012. We can't be certain that theysaid that as their language is dead. Something may have been lost in the translation and maybe they said 20012 or 2212, the list can go on and on. Even if it was correctly translated who can say the Mayans picked this date as the day the world would end. It may have been more like the farthest that they could forsee a winter solstice which was of the highes importance to them.
For Shippo the asteroid called Apophis is coming in 2029 and 2038 and it must pass through a 400m gravitational keyhole to even have a chance at altering its orbit into a collision course with Earth

Congrats. Made it on to Google. Lol.
I don't think the world will end, for obvious reasons. Heard it too many times before .

Looking at this from a Christian point of view, No body can predict the end of time. " He will come like a thief in the night" We know he is coming but no one knows when.

Geographically speaking we are in a phase of global warming....you just said it yourself.....5 degrees hotter
it doesn't matter if it's 0.1 degree hotter, that's still warmer
An average rise of 5 degrees over a century is pretty hot when you consider the difference between 15 degrees and 20 degrees. 15 degrees is warm-ish....20 is nicely toasty
also please don't shout (typing in capitals)....and please don't double post
I think it's fair to say the world isn't ending and if it does then it's pure coincidence.....if you make enough guesses you're bound to get one right eventually, no need to get so het up about it

My goodness... is this topic still going on?
Did we not settle ages ago that the world is not going to end in 2012. But if you die, I'd be thankful.
Do I have to count the countless amount of predictions of the end of the world. When it comes to down to it, the world ends every day and starts again without you noticing it.
You are lost; you can never go home.

It may sound a bit strange but the world will be destroyed just one time. So it will be something that only those who live when it will happen will have the chance to see. And I definitely want to be one of those. Of course, I want to be at least 85 years old when this happens. maybe I ask for too much.
RE: 7 reasons the world will end in 2012 by markee on 01-23-2008 at 12:23 PM
I think the funniest "the world is going to end" prediction was 9th of September 1999. For somereason they were thinking that it was going to end because of all the 9's or some rubbish.
The Mayan calandar is an interesting one seeing as though their race just disappeared into nowhere (one of the guys at wrk said there was a theory that reptilian overlords took them away on their planet which will intersect with Earth next in 2012 and that is where they got all of their technolgy from back then, apparently. We just joke about reptilian overlords now).
RE: 7 reasons the world will end in 2012 by crankinit on 01-23-2008 at 01:55 PM
I concur with the 1st poster whole heartedly. This person obviously has intellect and knows how to convey their thoughts
without sounding effite or smug. Bravo!!!
Sorry, but I forgot.....you have to be reminded of Y2K. We were all destroyed on January 1st 2000, unfortunately we just can't remember that we don't exist anymore. Those who don't remember their history are doomed to repeat it.
RE: 7 reasons the world will end in 2012 by Oddsocks on 01-26-2008 at 03:26 PM
Through pure boredom, I was googling and found this forum and read every post related to this topic, so many of you made me laugh so, thank you. I also felt the need to join up, just so I could leave my two cents worth here....
The world could end for anyone/thing, tomorrow, or in the next hour, so is there really any point in fretting over something that may or may not happen in 4 years time. My biggest fear, is someone I love, in particular, my children, dying before I do - If it was guaranteed that we were all going live happily and healthy and all go out together in 2012, I cant complain about that.
So do I believe the theory?.... No.
The world has been changing for thousands of years, and for thousands of years, man has been adapting and evolving to suit the conditions. Global warming is having some serious effects of the earth, but we will deal with it, just like we dealt with the ice age, and personally, I like it hot, so I am all for global warming!!
As for "armageddon" -I dont want to diss anyones religion here, but the bible was written by MAN not "GOD" and I dont honestly believe that men two thousand years ago knew more than men today know. I think a couple of the people who left posts, have been reading a little too much Dan Brown - sorry to break it to you guys, this is fiction and he is an author, not a "prophet".
If the world is gonna end in 2012, or even as soon as next week - its gonna happen whether we like it or not, whether we worry or not and nothing we do is going to prevent that from happening. So dont be scared of what you cant control, just enjoy every single moment of your life and being with the ones you love.
Take care and thanx for having me!!
RE: 7 reasons the world will end in 2012 by ritaagent99 on 01-27-2008 at 01:56 AM
what many people realize is that just because there is going to be a catastorphy, does not mean that the world is "going to end" thats all i have to say. even the bible states in revelation, "the old age wil end, and a new world will begin" never once does it say that we are all going to die. if anyone disagrees, please, talk to me, and i will show you why i am right
RE: 7 reasons the world will end in 2012 by itszackry on 01-27-2008 at 02:40 AM
they said the world would end in 1880
they said the world would end in 1942
they said the world would end in 2000
but th clock is still ticking and the world is still spinning
all these reasons are pure coincidence
a few of them are not even accurate, including 'The Atom Smasher', 'Super Volcano', 'Slip-Slop-Slap-BANG!', and 'Mayan Calender'
some of the facts in those i just pointed out can be true, or mistaken for what it really said or meant
and why are there 7 different ways the world will end, it can't end 7 times unless they all happen at the same exact time, which wont happen and if the Armageddon were to occur in 2012, God would conquer evil and all good would remain

If the world ends on that day you'll be mad? I hate having my second post on this site be criticizing someone else, yet somethings just need to be said. First off, " I am Legend " is a movie meant for entertainment purposes. Although I do not believe that the world will end on said date in 2012, putting more stock into a movie then you would into real life things that actually have a chance at happening is nothing short of insane. Yelling and screaming at people that are simply forming their own opinion, which they are totally allowed to do, is going to get you disliked rather fast. I am new here so I cannot say that I speak with experience of this forum, however I do speak with experience of past forums I was on. I won't rip apart your English or your grammar because of your flag in your profile stating you are from another country. Think before you act though, life is short and there is no reason to pick unreasonable fights for unreasonable purposes.

First the Mayan race didn't didn't just disappear into nowhere. Its ancestors are the Mexicans.
And they may be right about the world, as we know it, ending in 2012. The four years between the new president coming to power in 2008 and 2012 is about right for time it will take either Obama or McCain to destroy the USA.

But yea any extinction takes decades or centuries. So unless our population is declining already there's no way we'll be gone in 2012!

for starters,
2012 is only one of the possebilities which is converted from the Mayan calender to the Gregorian calender.
Second, 2012 is just a year (like so many other years to come) when the Mayan 'Long Count' will be reset (Starting at 13.0.0.0.0 again). The 'Long Count' is only one of the 3 calender systems the Mayans used and it may have represent for them the beginning of the earth or the beginning of times. This corresponds to, very roughly, a good big 3000 years BC in our calender.
And this fact alone also proofs that the Mayan's believe of the beginning of the earth is very wrong (as we all know the Earth is billion years older).
Thus derived from that you can also safely state that whoever thinks the Mayan calender predicts the end of the world is seriously wrong.
Because not only is that believe based on our Western assumption that the 'Long Count' represents the beginning of the earth (which would be wrong in reality anyways), but it also builds further on that and automatically assumes it therefor means that when the 'Long Count' resets the earth will end.
------------------
THE MAYANS DIDN'T PREDICT THE WORLD ENDING
It is just one of their 3 calender systems resetting and starting over again in 2012, just like our Gregorian calender resets each year at Januari 1st!!!
People are obviously way too paranoid, gullible, superstitious, and want to believe in fantastique stories...
Stating that in 2012 the world will end is as accurate as stating the earth would have ended in 666, 999, 1000, 1337, 2000, 3000, or whatever...

Check that page out. The guy's a total kook. There's not even a way to contact him or to leave comments. He's got all kinds of "predictions," including that one about the so-called "planet 'Nibiru'". If one of his predictions doesn't happen he just explains it away . I think when there are settlements on Mars and mankind is way past this time, there will still be people talking about religion and end-of-world theories, even though all the things people talk about today will be ancient history(except for practical things - which will either be in libraries, or myths). -Reference Greek myths, ancient gods, etc. I think there is something that can be gotten out of everything, which is why, for example, I don't believe that Nostradamus was just pulling things out of his a$$(for the most part). Also a reason I *sometimes* listen to country .
Geez, why do all of you have to be so skeptical? Gosh!
Also, I want to point out that there are things that ancient people observed - things that we may not necessarily know about - which we only know of through writings/tales/myths, etc.

You guys need to watch 2012 Doomsday movie. All we need is a woman in labour and take her to the Mayan temple in Chichen Itza and put her on a rock and deliever the baby, thus saving the world.
(Pointless movie btw, the only excitement was when a group of people were driving in baseball sized hail and the driver got hit by one and died. Though the car took basically no damage. Only a broken windshield)
RE: 7 reasons the world will end in 2012 by Vazza on 02-05-2008 at 01:16 PM
Quite frankly hasn't Nostradamus been predict the end of the world every for god know how long?
Personally, if the worlds going to end, I think it will be us, the humans (I was going to say most intelligent species but that would be giving some people too much credit) that end up doing it one way or another whether it be pollution or just plained nuked.
Besides, it can't end in 2012.....Glasgow just got the 2014 Commonwealth Games! And I'd quite like to see my brother take part in them thank you very much

Hello,
After reading 6 pages of post's, which are interesting opinions and views I admit, I come to the point where I thought I had to make a stand.
I am just going to point 1 or 2 thing's out to you, you may not agree .. but as I take this kind of stuff with great interest, it would be good for you to know my opinion.
I don't think there is such thing as Global Warming, changes in global temperatures are natural. There is no proof that temperature is affected by anything that man has done.
In fact, recent severe weather has been directly attributed to a natural phenomenon that occurs every so often called El Nino. It causes ocean temperatures to rise as tropical trade winds actually reverse for a time.
In 2005 data from NASA's Mars Global Surveyor and Odyssey missions revealed that the carbon dioxide "ice caps" near Mars's south pole had been diminishing for three summers in a row.
Just .. don't trust the media.
Thanks.

I saw the history channel the other day on the series in "Mega Disasters" and it was about what would happen in the world if oil runs out. It lists everything from gas prices skyrocketing in which affects our transportation, living expenses, our military capacity which affects the prices of basic necessity on things such as food, clothes, and such. This massive inflation on prices causes the world to go into a massive recession, in which millions would become homeless, riots would break out and our whole life style would be destroyed. Not only this, this may also cause war to break out over oil. And if war breaks out, the middle east (the primary source of oil) may resort to using their nuclear weapons they have procured and yadah yadah yadah. The strange thing is the year that the energy experts calculate that oil is going to run-out and cause all this mess is around 2012.
RE: 7 reasons the world will end in 2012 by Naruto-SR on 02-25-2008 at 09:00 PM
Hello,
I think i've read something about that before, but in my opinion it will not happen, well .. not for at least, say 50 years from now.
The reason why in my opinion it won't run out is because they keep finding more, and according to articles I have read they think they have only found around 4% of the total amount of oil.
Anyway, that was my two cents.
Thanks.
RE: 7 reasons the world will end in 2012 by sandbar on 02-25-2008 at 11:46 PM
Well, this is just a general reply all of the posts. I am one of those Bible believing Chirstians and I'm not going to kill myself. Killing myself won't do anything or solve anything. Doing that will only make the people that love me cry and make them sad.
Yes, I believe in the second coming of Christ. Yes, I believe that Christ died for my sins. Yes, I believe that once a person is saved, God becomes their "heavenly father". Yes, I believe that all people are sinners. Yes, I believe that I am still a sinner-saved by grace (not by works). No, I don't believe that going to church will get anyone to heaven. No, I don't believe that the world will end in on dec 12, 2012. Why?
The Bible states that no man knows when Christ will return. No man knows. I think all this talk about Dec 21 or 22 2012 is just a cover-up from Satan himself! Yes, I believe that. Satan wants people to take their eyes off of Jesus and think about aliens and the end of the world. Many many many "predictions" have come and gone. I'm not worried if the rapture happens in 2012 or 2009 or tomorrow. Oh yes, I am of course a pre-tribuation Christian.
Now, just so you all know that I'm not crazy or a Jesus freak, anything like that..I am more than a Christian...I am a student at the University of Redlands School of Business and I will be graduting by Sping 2009. I have been in an accredited college since 2002. I started UofR in 2006 and earned my A.S from MSJC in 2006.
I am not all about "relgion" or "Jesus". I don't always talk about Jesus and the Bible. In fact, I talk more about computers, business relations, customer wants, the kids were I used to work (I used to work at a residental center) and looking for work in a new field. If you knew me, you'd heard me talk more about Asperger Syndrome and Autism in adults than Christ and God anyday.)
As a Christian, it's hard to remember in the everyday "doings" of life that someday...no one knows when...Christ will return for his own. I guess If I wanted to talk more about Christ, I should read more of my Bible. You can always tell what a person has been reading by what that person talks about.
Now to find additional info on Asperger Syndrome in adults...

The world will end because sooner or later everyone on the forum will of posted their ideas of why the world will end into this thread causing mass hysteria all over the world amongst those who have actually read this thread and they'll be psychopaths and kill us all!
Or...global warming will eventually make life unlivable, that or we drown due to rising sea levels. But somehow I don't think any 3 of these ideas will happen before 2012...much.
RE: 7 reasons the world will end in 2012 by user27089 on 02-29-2008 at 04:56 PM
It's just stupid to believe that something like this could possibly be true, there's no physical or scientific proof supporting this theory; and that's all it is. There's no point in believing something that doesn't have any evidence.
Sandbar, you don't need to justify yourself or be scared about people judging that you're a Christian, anyone who does is just silly.
RE: 7 reasons the world will end in 2012 by Basilis on 02-29-2008 at 06:00 PM
Agreed. When I talked about Jesus in the thread, everyone started telling me I am saying crap. it is everyone's right to believe to whatever they want.

You cannot be sure if it is correct or not. It is my opinion and you have another. Don't try to persuade me for something that you also can't prove.

I'm most likley wrong, but I thought it would be cool to add my thoughts. Correct me if I'm wrong, but Isn't our solar system supposed to pass through the center of the galaxy in 2012 or something to that effect? The reason I'm asking is because I have seen many articles saying there is a black hole at the center of the milkyway. If I've put 2 & 2 together, that equals 4 rite? Nah, but really, It seems that this path could lead to some shrinkage.

you're wrong, fortunatly
It would be the same as saying that the moon will pass through the sun within a few years (while all other planets and moons nicely stay in orbit).
Our solarsystem turns around the center of our galaxy (The Milkeyway) together with a gazzilion other 'solar' systems, just as the planets of our solar system turn around the sun.
In essence, our solarsystem is a miniature version of our galaxy: the sun being the center, and the planets representing the solar systems. Just as the Earth and the Moon are a mini-mini-galaxy. Just as atoms and electrodes are mini-mini-mini-galaxies, etc...
What might be happening is that someday our solar system would be nicely aligned so that we could point telescopes towards the center of our galaxy to study it without interferance of other planets, or something like that. Or that the sun would be nicely aligned with the center in reference to the Earth, etc...
But the entire solar system suddenly travelling out of orbit and going on vacation to the center of the Milkeyway is a bit wrong (if that would be true then all our star constilations would already be completely different and we would already suffer from various disasters caused by gravity shifts and whatever).

RE: 7 reasons the world will end in 2012 by Soardra on 03-05-2008 at 05:49 AM
* Soardra just read all the posts in this topic minus the ones deleted *
Hmm, I don't believe in this "The world's gonna end" nonsense because of a few things. One, I try not to look into "the future" of things because what happens happens. I've made some really dumb choices in my life that I regret not acting on, but nothing can change that. At the moment I cant comprehend an existance away from my parent's house. (Yes, I know that's very sad...I don't have very lofty goals, k?). I'm just happy that I DON'T know all that there is to know because that means I can spend more time happily learning.
Another thing, just because it's being predicted "CATASTROPHY! WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE" Does not mean that the "World" will end. nothing can be completely destroyed because every single atom in the universe is simply moving to another spot, spliting, and combineing...there is no such thing as true destruction because even in the wake of destruction new life is formed and the leftovers are...well, left behind.
If we were to kill ourselves a new form of life would take over the world. Just think about the dinosaurs...if there hadn't been a mass extinction of reptiles the mammals would not have become the dominate kingdom it is today. For all we know if we die a superior species will take our place.

1. MAYAN CALENDAR
Do you speak Mayan?? Can you really interpret their writings?? Or are you just taking some untrustworthy person's word for it ...?
2. SUN STORMS
What a load of tosh! Ask any person who works at Energex ...
3. THE ATOM SMASHER
It would require much too much energy to create a black hole ... and to operate such a big particle accelerator. Even so, the particle accelerator WOULD NOT create mini black holes. That is the most impractical argument I have ever heard! Man you need debating classes!
4. THE BIBLE SAYS ...
Have you even read the Bible? Has it ever struck you that there is very little violence and no wars in the Bible (definitely no battles between good & evil)?
5. SUPER VOLCANO
a) The ash would not affect the atmosphere, merely the air in the surrounding area.
b) Ash in the atmosphere would not completely block the sun anyway.
6. THE PHYSICISTS
a) You titled this point 'the physicists'. If you had any idea what you were talking about, you would write 'the mathematicians'. For your information, a physicist is a type of scientist.
b) What does maths have to do with anything anyway? Mathematicians wouldn't be interested in tragic world events that would completely destroy life ...
7. SLIP-SLOP-SLAP-BANG!
Okay ... words can't even describe how stupid this idea is. I am going to go work for NASA in a few years, I think I'd know ...
So, there you have it, folks. Just some idiot trying to show off that he's in the know.

You do realise it is entirely possible for ash from a volcano to block out the sun. Also, if enough ash was released it could easily cover the entire planet, wind is a powerful thing you know.
Secondly, Math and science are VERY closely related, especially in Physics.
RE: 7 reasons the world will end in 2012 by chrisracus on 03-18-2008 at 02:02 AM
Although there are many reasons that the world may end in 2012.
The true reason will be caused by an impact as we move into our 28,000 year cycle through the galaxy.
The Planets in our solar system rotates around our Sun, and our Sun rotates around the center of the Milky Way Galaxy. But our galaxy does not move on one plain, but rather in a circular motion that travels from high to low (rather like a hoola hoop spinning around your waist).
Every 28,000 years our solar system reaches a "plain" in our galaxy and is aligned with the center of our galaxy.
It is on this "plain" that most of the debris left over from the creation of our galaxy exist (Asteroids, Comets, etc). Scientists have discovered that we will enter this "plain" in 2012. And at that time, I believe our planet will be pummeled by these debris.
Maybe even by another solar system or Sun crossing our path?
Look at all the near earth objects that we have been encountering. The last one missed us by only 1.5 x the distance from the earth to the moon (That is really close in cosmic terms).
and it's only going to get worse. And with the changing of the earths magnetic fields in 2012 (After completion of the earths wobble) we will not have any protection against even the smallest atmospheric intruders. Look at the small asteroid that crashed near Yakima, Washington.
I think we all better get out our telescopes and try to locate what's coming so we can all head to high ground and play dodge ball?

There is nothing which says that the Mayan calender stopped or will stop at one point! In fact, if you whish, you can still use the Mayan calender now and you would still be able to use it one million yeas from now. It is a calender like so many other calenders we know today, nothing special, except for the fact that it is more precise than other calenders of that time. Everything else is just superstitious talk.
No, the Mayan calender does not stop in 2012, it simply starts counting again, just like we start counting again each year at newyear, just as the Chinese start counting again on their newyear, which is different from Western calenders, etc!

Congratulations. Though I hope you do realise that for instance the ashes thrown out by a super volcano DOES affect the atmosphere, even world wide. In fact, you don't need a supervolcano for that to happen, see some of the last big eruptions, even in this last century.... And even at the NASA headcourters there are jenators, they work for NASA too, if you catch my drift.

I like how this is a poll, like it's all a matter of opinion. Anyways, the world will probably end in about 4.6 billion years, when the sun transforms into a red giant, possibly getting big enough to engulf the earth in a cloud of cosmic gas around 5000 K in temperature, or possibly sending the earth into a radically different orbit, killing of all life as we then know it because of a global and drastic change in climate. (not like the ice caps melting, more like them evaporating, or the temperature dropping to -100 degrees Celsius average)
RE: 7 reasons the world will end in 2012 by kdlight on 03-30-2008 at 03:06 AM
Hey, folks you forgot the 8th reason, a prophecy by St. Malachy, who lived in the middle ages, had the gift of prophecy and predicted, with deadly accuracy, the lingeage of popes from his time down to the present.
According to St. Malachy, the second-to-the-last pope is now reigning. The last pope will reign over the Catholic Church, in the end times.
I know some folks were were rather upset when the present pope was elected, because he is awfully old.

RE: 7 reasons the world will end in 2012 by kdlight on 03-30-2008 at 03:18 PM
No, he just gave a succession of popes from the middle ages on down, no dates. And no mention of 2012.
But, we if we are now experiencing the 2nd-to-the-last pope and the last one is supposed to reign when the world comes to an end, it looks to be getting awfully close to the doomsday date we are discussing.
You can read about St. Malachy's predictions on the internet, they are all over the place, some of them tied to doomsday.

You obviously didn't watch Futurama, otherwise you wouldn't be saying such!
Seriously though, I am quite sure the Mayans were aware their calendar was flawed, but since it would first be a problem so many years in the future, they didn't felt they needed to bother. It was working fine for them at the time, so why remake it?
And if they really did think it would be the end of the world, what did they design as the beginning of the calendar?

A climate change? Global warming has been going on since the start of time. And something cool my chemistry teacher taught us, carbon dioxide actually contributes a very small to it, the thing which contributes the most is something that is emitted from the ocean (carbon monoxide I think, I can't remember...). But yeah something along those lines.
RE: 7 reasons the world will end in 2012 by CookieRevised on 04-01-2008 at 06:10 AM
I think you need to ask your teacher again to explain it properly then, because CO2 or whatever gas (might not be CO2 itself but accompanying gasses) sure contributes a big part of it, although indirectly. Or he is actually talking about something else, like how the earth regulates its own "termostat" so to speak to keep temperature somewhat balanced (as that is very roughly speaking what the oceans do). But that the oceans are responsible to the global warming is a bit wrong I think.
Global warming is not something which is been going on since the start of time (in fact, it would be more like global cooling if anything). Global warming is what we understand about the rapid (most likely unnatural) warming up of the earth as the result of the green house effect.
RE: 7 reasons the world will end in 2012 by Aardvark on 04-01-2008 at 06:14 AM
Yeah I figured there was something dodgy about what I said, it was a bit of a vague memory so he probably did say something else along those lines of what you've mentioned

Also, the oceans have been letting off CO2 gas since forever, it's part of a natural process of diffusion, the reason Humans are blamed for Global Warming is because there was a very delicate balance and we're upsetting that balance, even if only by adding 1% more CO2 gas to the atmosphere.
IMO however, I'm not worried about global warming, I believe it is just because we are on the peak of a hot spot, in other words we're leaving a ice age, will reach a peak and then will fall into another ice age. The real issue is scientists believe we are speeding up this process, but I mean, if it's gunna happen, why does it matter how fast it comes..

RE: 7 reasons the world will end in 2012 by Svip on 04-01-2008 at 02:48 PM
Global Warming hasn't been happening since forever. Only since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution. Sure there have been CO2 going up in the air since forever. But the balance between what nature produced and the planet's temperature was perfect.
Then we add some more CO2 to the mix and the balance breaks. That is what the whole thing is about!

I have to disagree that we may be to late to try and change it, i think it is still possible to change it, but possibly by 2015 it may be to late to then try and start changing it, the only problem is governments do not want the expenses of keeping the world clean.

Whats so hard about turning shit off from the power point..? If you were to spend money on them energy saving globes you would probably save more money in the end. They last alot longer than the regular bayonet globes. Things like recycling properly helps to. The government isn't going to come to your house just to turn your lights off and don't forget that you save money by doing this aswell.

That's not the best way to look at things. We have to go the hard yards because they (governments) don't want to. If we all start doing things and they refuse to budge they will be the ones who will have the pressure put onto them and be forced to act.
If the cost doesn't go down to what we're currently paying now it's either we stay cheap to destroy our planet or fork out a little bit extra to preserve the planet we have worked so hard to develop.
So realistically we don't really have a choice. Either do something and pay a little more or do nothing and pay a lot more. If the prices ever did come down I don't think that would be any time relatively soon, some sort of energy production breakthrough would be in order for that to happen, cos like it costs 10c per kilowatt hour on what we're using now but if we went nuclear it would be something like 25c per kilowatt hour.

Well there is one thing that has been overlooked here folks, and the most plausable to date. On the Winter solstice in 2012, the Earth, and the Sol, (the sun) will enter a type of eclipse in line with the black hole in the center of the Milky way. We will then pass over the galactic equater. Sounds like a good time for a ploe shift to me.

I do think that the world mayend in December 2012.
***Don't be afraid, appreciate life and the time we have left on earth! Wouldn't you rather know?!
I had a friend share an eye-opening video just recently (www.youtube.com then type in Dooms Day End of the world and watch the two part video.) When you see that all these different cultures have come up with the same exact "End of the World" date, without working together, it's definitely eye opening. The USA keeps a lid on things like this. Think about it though... They can accurately tell us when there will be an eclipse. They can even tell us when other planets, such as, Mars or Saturn will be able to be seen. They must know when Earth is expected to shift or move. We are supposed to be in the 4th world right now. The mayans say our time on earth will be a time where people only believe what they can see. They say we will all be joined together and communicate as one universe in the end.
Maybe all of the life forms that have died, have now become part of the universe. Maybe they are the endless stars we see in the sky. Maybe we will become stars, too. For now...ENJOY LIFE!!

Umm, just because all these so called "skilled scientists" say that <i>THE WORLD WILL END DECEMBER 21, 2012</i>, does NOT mean it's gona be true. They said that the world would end New Year's day, 2000, and the universe is still here. Okay, I am a religous person, and I don't wanna offend anyone. But in the bible, it says that God determines when the end of the world will come. Nobody knows when it is, and nobody can predict when it is, either. That is what I have learned, at least. I also think that these scientists need to stop. They're what are destroying the world. For example, the nuclear bombs. People are what are destroying the earth right now. This is a side thought, but the wars in Iraq do NOT help the situation. If you don't want any nuclear bombing end of the world stuff, then people should just stop hating eachother! I know I might sound like some hippy, but why can't we just get along? Why does everybody have to be fighting all the time? It makes me sick when those terrorists bomb innocent people just to prove a point. All 9/11 did was kill thousands of people. And not only that, but killed the insides of the people that survived. I'm getting off to the wrong point here, but the <B>"END OF THE WORLD"</b> can come anytime. Nobody KNOWS when it is. It could be tomorrow, could be a thousand years from now. We should just enjoy life, and make peace with others.
