The Mayans prophesied that the world will end in 2012? I thought it was just supposed to be some sort of great change. |

If you believe the Mayan's "prophecy" of the world ending, or Planet X/Nibiru coming to smash into us, or a Solar Flare melting us, read these articles. |

A great change indeed, we'll no longer be bothered by 2012 crap. |

- Are you an idiot?
- No sir, I'm a dreamer.
I think there are a lot of really interesting ideas about what might happen on 2012. Obviously no one is certain what will happen, but they're interesting to consider none the less. |

How are they interesting to consider? Personally, I find things interesting when they're grounded in reality. For example, I find it more interesting to contemplate the implications of Moore's Law than to try to imagine what would happen if there was suddenly a computer invented that was millions of times more advanced than everything else. Fairy tales like 2012 aren't interesting at all, at least not going by my definition. Hell, 2012 isn't even a fairy tale. Fairy tales at least had lessons to teach. The 2012 crap is just fluff that serves to keep people's minds off their boring lives. |

I don't see why anyone should believe 2012 prophecies anymore than any of these. They've got the same amount of evidence in all of them, pretty much no evidence at all. Most of them have failed, as you can see we've passed 1990 - majority of 2008. |

Late-year 2012 will be a great time to pick up some great deals on the stock exchange. I know I'll definitely have some cash tucked away to pick up the run away stock crashes as the media hypes up the 2012 scaremongering. They never can resist a good apocalypse. |

2012 is a demonstration that proves the Mayans had a much more accurate understanding of time in relation to the rest of the working universe. |

It's pretty easy to determine where the galactic plane is. You can do it by looking up at the sky on a clear night and seeing the band of stars, the Milky Way. The area with the largest density of stars is the centre bulge of our galaxy. |

I only remember hearing (off of Discovery channel again, hah) that because of our solar system's position in the spiral, there was no way to be sure of our orientation in relation to the center. I may absolutely be wrong. I have the great displeasure of living in Los Angeles, so the whole "clear night" scenario is never going to happen (not while I'm still living here, anyways) . |

There is plenty of ways to be sure. We can calculate the distances to stars with a high degree of accuracy. Get the distances to enough stars and you can do some trigonometry to figure out where you are in relation to the rest. |

Justin those people don't know a thing about what's supposed to happen, they're getting all the conspiracies crossed. |

Everything works out in the end, sometimes even badly.
Alextanium and Omnius Deus I just want to say thank you for your contributions. Every time a post of this nature is made we look better and better. Simply because of the vast and generalized inaccurate statements against us which borders on unjustified ridicule. |

Omicron then you are in the same boat as them Since you didn't give a reason. Your response to my inquiry in pm has yielded this which is obviously not satisfactory. |

The problem is I didn't say that you made it up. It becomes self evident 'me' is not a reason. Funnily enough that was the excuse you gave to dismiss the info. That is why I said you have no real justification. |
