Call me paranoid, but for the longest time I was EXTREMELY worried about 2012. Luckily, I am now worry-free, due to some information that I found. For anyone that was worried, I hope that this clears things up.

#1 The Mayan Calendar

For many of us, our calendar year ends December 31. After that, a new year starts on January 1. For the Mayans, December 21, 2012 is simply the end of the calendar year. In fact, they were excited to make it to the end of a calendar year and would celebrate on that day. After that, life still continues. No big deal.

#2 Asteroids, Meteors, and the Like

NASA is always keeping an eye open for these kinds of things. They would not hide that kind of information from the general public. Also, there is no proof that an asteroid would hit on that exact date.

#3 Increased Intensity of Storms

Again, no proof of such things on that date. Storms could get worse, no denying it, but it is improbable that multiple storms would happen all over the world at once, not to mention hurricane season is long over.

#4 Nostradamus

Not really a valid argument. HIs prophecies are so vague, not to mention they often never happen. If anyone tells you otherwise, remember that they often twist facts in his predictions to make them fit current events.

Here's a good example:

"In the year of the new century and nine months,
From the sky will come a great King of Terror…
The sky will burn at forty-five degrees.
Fire approaches the great new city…” ”
In the city of york there will be a great collapse,
2 twin brothers torn apart by chaos while the fortress falls the great leader will succumb
Interpretation: 2001 is the first year of the new century and this is the 9th month. New York is located at the 41st degree Latitude.

Scary isn’t it? This has been modified a lot to fit the event…Here’s the real thing:

The year 1999, seventh month,
From the sky will come a great King of Terror:
To bring back to life the great King of the Mongols,
Before and after Mars to reign by good luck.

Heh, not really the 9/11 prophecy you thought it was, eh? The same thing happens to 2012 prophecies. Don't believe them.

#5 Planet X/Nibiru

The Nibiru idea is also not probable, because if it had existed, NASA would have spotted it by now. If there is no proof that it even exists, what damage would it do?

#6 Other Strange Theories

People have said all kinds of unusual theories about 2012, such as a comet passing by and affecting tide patterns. Most of these theories don't have any scientific evidence behind them. Unless they have some REAL scientific evidence or such, don't believe them.

Thanks for listening! I hope that this has cleared up some fears. If you have other theories or questions, I would be happy to help find the answer for you.

I have found that this link is very helpful. You can look here for more info.

Dude I never believed in that

Kids at my school laughed about it for a while but other than that I never really paid attention

What about Old Faithful's eruption?

Old Faithful in Yellowstone National Park is said to be a supervolcano which is due to erupt within the next 10 years. When it erupts, not only will the initial eruption demolish the Dakotas, toxic ash will spread to almost the entire world.

I don't think it's due in the next 10 years. The timeline is very general. It could be anywhere from tomorrow to 100 years from now.

On the contrary, we're overdue and running on margin time.

The only thing I'm worried about in 2012 is the presidential election and the fact North Korea has designated that year as "the year for opening the grand gates to becoming a rising superpower". Whatever happens, I don't think the world will end.

After a bit of researching, I've concluded this:

Yes, Old Faithful will erupt sometime, but exact dates are unclear. From what I see here, it won't happen anytime soon. So calm down.

That's ok, I have a list.

To be serious, I don't think anything will happen either, I just like freaking people out. tongue

I'll bet there will be a large increase in suicides on the day before and the day, but that's about it.

Who cares if the world ends? Stop being paranoid.

nic sigy dude.
anyway I doubt Palin will win (did you see the SNL parody?)
Also North Korea can't feed it's own people without getting aid packages, so what are they going to do, declare war then starve?

(sorry I was just reading about the cold war)

Here is my list for your link:

#1 was already explained in this thread.
#2 According to NASA, solar storms don't cause that kind of damage.
#3 Again, only a theory, and a strange one at that. Not likely to happen on that date.
#4 Ah, those religious people. Not going to happen!
#5 Well, that one is plausible, but not necessarily on that date.
#6 One word: PESSIMISTS! Like this one would ever happen!
#7 Oh, that's another plausible one, but they got the facts wrong!
Look at this link for the right info!

That's actually a bit offensive. Besides, the website is completely wrong- the Bible does not specify a date by code, hints, or otherwise. Anyone who claims that they do is wrong.

banana500 · 2010-11-28 19:29:27

I never believed that the world would end, but I believe that there will be extreme natural disasters.

So there's no one to care about you. Or to care about. So it doesn't matter if it ends? That's my point.

Exacly. The whole Mayan thing is a load of rubbish.

But if it is true, I wouldn't care? Get me?

Yes

But as said on the Area 51 topic I will be halfway to Mars with my bros by the time the world lights on fire

Seriously, stop ruining the thread.
You may not care, but what about those who do?
Be considerate.
