why december 21,2012 will not be doomsday
I have watched the history channel lately and heard about the rumor that December 12, 2012 is "doomsaday". Now im sure many of you have heard of this and i want to point out any confsion about this topic, because the whole idea of this happening is rubbish.
Rumor 1:
Supposedly a sun flare of great magnitude will wipe out all of life(while our magnetic fields are gone). Well, sorry to break it to those scientists but its simply impossible for the sun at its stage right now to produce a cataclysmic sun flare. Maybe in a few billion years when the sun gets ready for its stage to turn into a red giant the people of earth should be more alarmed of this.
Rumor2:
A suddden polar shift (north and south magnetic fields switch) will happen resulting in loss of our atmosphere. Well this is probly the most aburd rumor of them all. Yes our earth does go through cycles where the magnetic field switches. No it does not happen all at once. In fact it takes 5000 years for this process to take place. So this would also mean there wouldnt be a sudden gravity burst hurling us into oblivion, like our "smart" scientists say.
Dont be fooled though, this will be a day like no other. On this day at 11:11 a.m. gmt, the sun will hit the center of the galaxy and the suns rays will hit the almost precisely the north pole. but this is just merely nice timing, not a chain reaction that will end life
Will 12.21.12 be the end of life on earth? I cannot tell. The ancient mayans cant tell. And certainly scientists cant tell.
Hope this cleared any confusion about this.

Umm,
Not sure what this part means:
On this day at 11:11 a.m. gmt, the sun will hit the center of the galaxy and the suns rays will hit the almost precisely the north pole. but this is just merely nice timing, not a chain reaction that will end life.
I don't know if we'll still be here, we may meander into a black hole or something before that. I can say with great confidence that we won't be near the center of the galaxy though, nor will the north pole be pointing at the sun.
I'm looking forward to whereever this thread is going to go. Have a beer, I say.

Re: why december 21,2012 will not be doomsday
Sounds like a bunch of nonsense to me. But employers and bill collectors probably don't want this to happen; why should you show up to work if you know it's all gonna end on a certain date anyway And why fork over your cash on bills when you can go out and hoist a few before the end??
I think the bigger apolcalyptic threat is socio-economic rather than solar. With more and more inflation, unemployment, poverty and some regional wars, people will get more desperate. Human beings are far more efficient at eliminating themselves than any natural phenomenon.

Thats it, everyone skip work on this day! And if your not playing AOE3 by this date, wipe off the dust and start playing again! lol

Re: why december 21,2012 will not be doomsday
Y2K 'nuff said.
Here's a question though: When will the world end?
The postulate that the world will not end in 2012 cannot be proven, since you cannot prove a negative.
Either way, I'm drinking to it and playing AOE to the detriment of my PR

Well even tho those theories are absurd, it will happen some day, and considering the way people live nowadays, I guess near that day people will be as sceptic as u are now

In my opinion the only people who believe this sort of stuff are emos/goths, and religious dudes.

Not to get into some huge philosophical debate/discussion, but hoe do you know that it will happen one day?
