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.

ermmm. yeah.... source? Or this is another thing based upon what you've "read on the net"?

Maybe you better read up on some proper material from the LINEAR or NEAT team, or from SpaceWatch instead of letting imagination taking over...

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)
