Ten Vital Reasons the World will not End in 2012

December 21^st 2012 – a date that is well known globally. Several hundred years ago, the Ancient Mayans predicted the apocalypse on this very date. With their 5,125 year old calendar resetting itself to 0.0.0.0. on this date, many are preparing for the worst. However, how legit is the prophecy of the Mayans? Here are the top ten reasons why the world will not end in 2012:

1. The Earth would run out of resources and energy.

There is no danger of energy depletion for the Earth. The available energy is self generating, continuous and unlimited. Furthermore, there is no chance of the universe enclosing, retracting and finally exploding resulting in destruction on December 21^st 2012. This scenario is expected in 500 billion years. I am pretty sure our generation would have passed on by then.

2. There is a possibility of the earth coming to an end in 2012.

However, truthfully there is also a probability of the end being today, tomorrow or 5000 years from now. There is no proper method of finding out when the apocalypse will take place. These prophecies are only based on assumptions and predictions with no scientific proof.

3. The Mayan culture disappeared long before their calendar ended.

The Maya may have an been advanced race in astrology and mathematics; however, they were not so proficient in their predictions. They might have foretold the end of life in the year 2012, but they could not predict the disappearance and demise of their own culture.

4. The Mayan Calendar resets itself to 0.0.0.0.

Just as the calendar in your house ends after December 31^st, so does the Mayan calendar. This does not mean that the Earth comes to an end with your calendar does it? The end of the Mayan calendar just means that the Mayan long-count period will end and another one would begin; just as your new calendar for the year would.

5. According to scientists, the Earth is going to go through a magnetic polar switch quite soon.

This assumption is predicted to cause utter chaos and destruction, which will possibly lead to the extinction of life. However, scientists have found out that the Earth has faced this issue 380, 000 years ago. Life clearly did manage to pass this problem, so it is likely we are to survive through it again.

6. Nostradamus predicted the end to be as a result of an asteroid smashing into the Earth.

Recently, an asteroid has been spotted and found its way into news. The 900-foot wide asteroid, named Apophis, is believed to make its next close approach soon…in 2029! Even then, the collision probability has been downgraded to 1 in 250, 000 chance. There is another possibility of an uncharted asteroid or comet appearing out of the blue at any time; however, Earth-killing impacts have been millions of years apart. It is pretty obvious that our generation would no longer be in the picture in the next million years.

7. One of the most popular issues brought up by scientists is the increase in the number of solar flares. This problem would lead to satellites melting and eventually lead to a global catastrophe.

This is quite a load of rubbish as the sun goes though a well-documented 11-year sunspot cycle which is driven by its magnetic field. Although the next cycle is assumed to be 30 to 50 percent stronger than the last peak and is predicted to be in the year 2012, it is certainly not the highest peak recorded.

8. The planets will align in a way that impacts the Earth

To date there is no possibility of a planetary alignment for the next few decades. In addition, Earth will not cross a galactic plane in the year 2012. If this planetary alignment was to take place, scientists have found that their effects upon the Earth would be negligible. Each December the Earth and the Sun does align with approximately the center of the Milky Way Galaxy; nevertheless, there has been no sign of impact or consequence due to this process.

9. The origin of the Armageddon prediction in the year 2012 began with the story of Planet Nibiru smashing into the Earth.

A supposed planet discovered by the Sumerian, the theory of the Earth being destroyed in 2012 began with the prophecy the planet Nibiru clashing with the earth. Although initially predicted for May 2003, the doomsday date was postponed to December 2012 as nothing obviously happened. Ironically, both tales were linked to one of the cycles in the Ancient Mayan calendar that ends in 2012. This is an internet hoax! Amongst many other fibs; if a planet, asteroid or comet was heading towards the earth, astronomers would be definitely keeping track of them. Astronomers have found a dwarf planet similar to the size of Pluto known as Eris; however, this planet will remain in the outer solar system. The closest Eris can come in proximity with the Earth is 4 billion miles, which I believe is quite a lot of distance.

10. Finally, if the Armageddon is predicted to be on December 21^st 2012, then why is my car warranty dated to May 2013?

There are many reasons the world will not end in 2012. Many of the predictions out there appear to be hoaxes as stated earlier. With the internet, it is easy to make up a bunch of rubbish and pass it around. Do not be fooled into these lame prophecies as it would only bring you worry. The Mayans did not predict the end of their calendar due to death and destruction on the Earth; instead they assumed a period of tribulation or spiritual change. Death and disaster is a daily activity in life. So live each day as the last, because the end of time cannot be predicted.

Signs the World Will End in 2012

Mayan Calendar – 2012: the big date!  With the recent fear, curiosity, and excitement about the onset of the Armageddon on December 21st 2012, one can certainly wonder how it is going to take place.

Many wonder how this specific date was chosen. Some claim that this prophecy is just a bunch of old wives’ tales that found their way onto the internet. However, this particular predicted date was not picked out of random. Here are five terrifying reasons the world will end in 2012:

1. The Mayan Calendar

The ending of the Mayan calendar is one of the most well known signs of the apocalypse on December 21st 2012. On this very date the Mayan long-count calendar resets itself to 0.0.0.0. and restarts the next day. Thus, it suggests the end of life and rebirth. However, many skeptics argue that the Mayans believed in the beginning of a time of change and tribulation rather than death and destruction. Nevertheless, this sign definitely hints that something would happen on this date.

2. The I-Ching Prophecies

One of the most shocking revelations for 2012 involved the I-Ching prophecies. These Ancient Chinese predictions show the events of the past and future. Some research seems to indicate  that these predictions are accurate for events that have already taken place. Unfortunately one of the events foretold in the I-Ching prophecies is the coming of the Armageddon on December 21st 2012.

3. Geomagnetic Reversal

According to some scholars, the Earth is expected to go through a polar shift sometime during the end of 2012. This phenomenon involves the Earth’s North and South Pole interchanging rapidly. As a result, malfunction and confusion would occur. Animals are expected to lose direction and electronics are expected to breakdown. In addition, scientists are also expected major movement of tectonic plates which would result in many natural disasters.

(Update: January, 2011, there have been a great number of animal deaths recently that have been all over the news: 5000 blackbirds in Arkansas and Louisiana and up to 100,000 drum fish in the Arkansas river.  I do not know if these are related, but many have wondered and I have received a lot of email about a possible connection.)

Now, this type of event would normally take place over a very long period of time – yet some feel it may occur abruptly.

4. Black Hole Alignment

Another theory involves the alignment of the galactic center. It is expected that the alignment would create a combined effect of a gravitational pull between the black hole and the sun at the galaxy’s center; also known as ‘Sagittarius A’. Due to the pull, the Earth would likely face many problems. However, this incident has occurred in 1998. Research has shown that the Earth needs to be much closer to the Sun in order to face adverse effects.

5. The Web Bot

Quite a popular program, the Web Bot is a series of automated bots that search for specific keywords on the internet. On finding these keywords, the program searched for a pattern too. Apparently, Web Bot predicted the September 11th attacks and the tsunami in 2004. Now it has predicted the Armageddon on December 21st 2012.

One can question the validity of these predictions. Nevertheless, it is ironic as to how all these forecasts are pointed to one specific date and come from completely different sources. So follow the signs that the world will end in 2012 and be prepared for the worst to come. This does not mean that you begin creating a hide-away bunker right away, but it does mean that you should be more alert and not ignore the slightest warnings. The world is so updated with technology that the secret would be out before you know it.

Update:  if anyone is too upset about this article, please read the devil’s advocate article:  Ten Vital Reasons the World will not End in 2012. You will feel a lot better.

So, am I saying the world will end or not?  I cannot say because I do not know for sure.  I do not think that anyone should completely dismiss the idea of 2012.  However, I do not believe it will end the world.  Will something happen?  Even a catastrophe?  I do not know …and neither does anyone else.

Prophecies of 2012: Is the world going to end in 2012?

Now a popular date for the future, December 21st 2012 holds many prophecies and portents. Most of these prophecies have been made many years ago, with the first being attributed to the Ancient Mayans themselves. However, is the world going to end in 2012? To answer this question we must go back into the past with the predictions of the Ancient Mayans and the theories put forward today.

On December 21st 2012 the 5,125 year old Mayan long-count calendar depicting the fourth world period would come to a finale. The calendar would reset itself to 0.0.0.0. and restart a new world period the next day. Since the Mayans were talented mathematicians and astrologers, most of their predictions were quite accurate. Therefore, there are many believers in this Mayan prediction. However, there have been theories and predictions put by others as well in relation to this date.

Some people around the world are starting to put forward theories of the world ending in the year 2012. From World War III involving nuclear war to our entire galaxy being pulled in to an immense black hole, the future of the Earth might not seem too great. Several films have come out to suggest the possible fate of the Earth such as the movie “2012” which is in relation to assumptions made by scientists. These assumptions include several natural disasters destroying life, the increase in solar flares heating the earth, and the eruption of a super volcano located right under Yellowstone National Park in the United States. Although there are some reasons behind these these theories (some even logical), there is quite a lot of evidence to show otherwise too.

Is the world going to end in the year 2012? We will never know till the time arrives. These theories are quite scary to take into account, which is quite a popular reason for denying them. It is important to understand that the world has been through several disasters in the past; nevertheless, life has continued to exist amidst these events. Do not give up, but why not be as prepared as you possibly can? The end very well might come one day. It might not be on December 21st 2012, but it is better to know and ready ourselves rather than face it in denial.

Mayan Prediction

This modern day Mayan elder explains what he believes are the true meanings behind the ancient Mayan prophecies and predictions.

Please view this one minute video of the Mayan elder and then leave your comments below regarding the ancient Mayan predictions and what it all means regarding December 21st 2012 and the end of the world.

Mayan 2012 Predictions

With the recent hubbub about the world coming to an end on December 21st 2012, we are looking for answers and quite honestly – someone to blame. This particular date was not picked out of a hat, but rather predicted by the Ancient Mayans.

The Mayans are an ancient civilization skilled in mathematics and astrology. Through many calculations they came up with calendars quite similar to the lunar cycle. On December 21st 2012, the Mayan calendar signifying the fourth world period will reach its end resetting itself to 0.0.0.0. After this, the fifth world would begin the next day. Since many believe that the Mayan writings have accurately predicted events that have already taken place, this prophecy has quite a bunch of takers. However, are the Mayan 2012 predictions as reliable as we assume?

Firstly, it is important to realize that although the Mayan calendar does come to an end, the Mayans did not state an end for life on Earth. Instead they implied a sense of spiritual transition during this period. Since there are no Ancient Mayans surviving today historians find it rather hard to analyze the prediction for the correct answer. Furthermore, their prediction about the end of the world on December 21st 2012 is quite vague. The events have not been depicted their prophecy, which implies that the Mayan elders themselves were unsure.

Moreover, some historians claim the Mayans predicted a galactic alignment to take place on December 21st 2012. As a result of this alignment, Earth could be apparently destroyed. However, in reality this alignment takes place every winter. The Earth is 30,000 light years away from the center of the galaxy which is a rather safe distance. Other than the usual number of snow related issues life is not really in any danger of any kind. Nevertheless, some people assume the disaster and destruction on December 21st 2012.

Mayan 2012 predictions definitely suggest an end of some kind. However, they do not mention anything about disasters occurring on December 21st 2012. These claims have been put forward by those who are combining prophecies made by other sources. Although there have been quite a lot of natural disasters and economic problems, it is essential that we realize the Earth has been was built by natural disasters and the mankind has experienced many economic problems in the past.

It is possible that the Mayan 2012 predictions might be accurate, but it is also possible that the apocalypse could be upon us at any time. It is important to understand that the world is not experiencing more disasters than before. The Earth has gone through worse periods throughout history and life has survived. In order to prepare yourself for the end of the world, research more on the events. It is best not to follow predictions but rather to find evidence for the end.
