2012: End of the World as we know it?

[Kyuuchi]

There has been a lot of discussion over the past 10 years about the Mayan calendars. According to their calendar, which has predicted future Spanish Kings correctly. But however, their calendar ends on the 21st of December, 2012. Thats 21/12/2012.
So, do you think the world will somehow end? Or do you think it just means a "Fresh Start".

Let me share my thoughts:
Being as the Mayans have predicted future Spanish Kings correctly, I think they know what they're talking about. I believe that the World will end on that exact day, and I fear that the following could happen:
- Nuclear Warheads Launched by themselves (haha Y2K)
- All volcanoes of the world erupting.
- Water-levels rise dramatically.
- Ice-age
- Earthquakes happening 24/7
- Earth could "explode" into itself.
- A Red-Dwarf could olbiterate us.
- The Sun gets so close to us, we burn.
- The Nitrogen gas somehow escapes from the atmosphere, causing the Oxygen to burn everything.


Some are a little far-fetched, but you never know.
Tell me your thoughts

The movie will explain all.  Something may happen, something may not.

The Mayans only predicted such a date so that future Hollywood producers could make a multi-million dollar film about the supposed end of the world. The whole conspiracy started long ago, and the Mayans only forced their ways upon the people of the land with no real facts. The Spanish kings were only predicted right, because the Mayans hired assassins to kill everyone else who would have been in line to take the throne. So as you can clearly see, this is all a conspiracy theory to try and make a quick buck.

Your poll fails. No = I don't believe in this.

- Ice-age

The world is currently between the cycles of ice ages that happen every couple hundred thousand years, so doubtful.

- Earth could "explode" into itself.

You mean "implode" which then removes into itself because that's what the word means.

Didn't anyone ever think that they just gave up on the calendar because it was too far in the future to keep going?  Would you wanna keep making a calendar thousands of years into the future?  They probably just said screw it we quit.  Not like they were gonna make a calendar that went on to infinity.

2012 is a good movie! and i do not think this will happen

[P!nk]

[idias]

That question is completely wrong, what you mean to ask is "Will the world end in 2012?".

[wizzi]

i agree with fasian there have been to many predictions. like the rest, this is a load of bull

[Eiii]

ahahaha, you're such a moron.

[ViciouZ]

It's the end of the world as we know it, and I feel fine.

This is just a load of balls, the world will be screwed in 50 years anyway by a multitude of factors unrelated to idiotic backdated predictions.

In my own opinion...

I.  While the planets are lined up there will be a gravitational pull on the sun that will cause a solar prominence.
      A. The solar promince will burn us
      B.  It will cause Electromagnetic problems for the plane
      C.  It will release anti matter(which is real and produced by the sun)
           1. The anti matter will destroy the planet or a part of it

II.  While the planets are lined up there will be a gravitational pull.
      A.  This gravitational pull will move our moon a little bit further away so that it will be lost from our orbit
           1.  This will be bad but I don't remember why

III.  Something Supernatural
      A. Aliens
           1. We will learn how sardona was made on the red planet
           2. They will explain stonehenge to us
      B.  Where ever the mayans went to we will go
           1. aliens once more
           2. portal or rift to another dimension

These are my thoughts about 2012.  Although i also think that a world ending is not as bad as we make it to be.  Like the end of a gaming world. (Tabula Rasa) http://www.gamasutra.com/php-bin/news_index.php?story=22528

Or then end of the world because of a giant EMP.  Did you know that a nuclear blast in outer space will spread an EMP wave that will disrupt the electronics below.  Also it will spread further then if it was blown on the surface of the planet. 

Or maybe a country by something like.... a country or continent being overtaken by water.  Thus ending their world.... who knows,

but remember that global destruction is not the only way to end someones world because your world is relative to your views.

I think first off nothing's gonna happen. If something did happen, we're not all mentally unstable human being from 60000 BC with no knowledge, chances are someone knows how to avoid major heat or flooding or whatever. The end of the world relies purely on everyone sitting around doing jack.

Second, why does anyone care? If its the end of the world, so be it. We're all doomed to die so why care so much about it now. The world could end tomorrow but I dont see anyone crappin their pants over it. It just so happens a grand total of about 6 theories land on this one day.

[ak-47]

it wud b better if the idiots who predict its gonna end in 2012 die on dat year just for being stupid

[JiGSaW]

Well, 2012 the world is going to end, i'm gonna be the first one in this thread to say it, because i'm going to make it happen.


Gonna make it rain food......       -_-

[Spook]

People are food.

Because then the tides will get all out of shape and water-levels will rise

Good reasons all. Still think this will happen though

[Br55HiT]

Leave it to the 12 year olds to think the worlds going to end.  What happened on Y2K that everyone was so scared of? NOTHING!

Since the world has been around so long I'm pretty sure the planets have aligned before.  Why wasn't the earth destroyed then?

Aliens...Are you serious?

I'm banking more on Jig destroying us all.

[Fuzz Ball]

The Mayans also believed in several gods (I think) and killing people and stacking their skulls up (same as Aztecs I think).

But alas, it is hard to make a movie of these things...

It's all a big media story that managed to get a movie made from it... sad actually...

[Eiii]

It's not even a media story, shut the intercourse up.
