The End of the World in 2012?

Incase you dont know there are many predictions from prominent older cultures that predict the end of the world in 2012. Even current scientist strongly believe world changing disasterious events will occur in 2012. The Myian Calander ends in 2012 with reference to a black hole. The I Chang a book used to predict the future used by ancient chinese and still today predicts the end of the world in 2012. The real life wizard Merlin, predicted the end of the world in 2012. Scientist predict world changing events in 2012 when our solar system aligns with the blackhole that is the center of our galaxy. They predict this will cause the poles of the earch to rapidly shift and cause massive climate change.

Im just curious if anyone else believes this? I mean could this all be some kinda of coincidence or is it real? Different cultures in different times all predict 2012 will be the end of the world. Kinda scary if you believe it to know you only have about 5 years left of good life. Not to say you will die, but if its true, life as we know it will end.

Christ, you watched that damn history special crap. I watched that as well and it was so full of crap it made me laugh. The only thing that says the world will end in 2012 is essentially the myan calender. All the other things that claim it will end are just shotty interperetations of the origional documents. People want them to say the same thing so they twist it around to say the same thing. As for the black hole, the black hole in the center of our galaxy is about 50 thousand light years away, there is no way that it can have any effect on the earth or the sun if they are aligned. Ill let you have some perspective on how far away 50 thousand light years is, even if you were in a ship travelling at the speed of light it would take you 50 thousand years just to reach it.

As far as the poles flipping, that is a gross over exaggeration as well. The magnetic poles naturally move from place to place as a result of the earths core spinning on a wobble. Every couple hundred thousand years the earths magnetic field flips, it has happened countless times before and will happen again(we are overdue for another flip). When this flip occours the will only be small changes. At first while the field is flipping there will be multiple poles on the earth and because the magnetic field deflects all solar rays to the poles there will be an increase in solar radiation for all areas under the poles, this is the most dangerous effect but certainly will not cause climate change and mass extinction. It will probably only result in elevated numbers of skin cancer cases for affected areas. After the flip occours the magnetic north pole will becaome the south and vice versa. This does not mean that the earth is gonna flip upside down but just that compasses will point south instead of north.

There is nothing major to worry about. Dont beleive everything you see on tv, even if it is the history channel. I have found that the history channel has been spreading a bunch of useless superstisious nonsense like this around lateley.

back on the mayan thing? havent we've overdone this by now?

my wife just picked "Mayan White" tile for the kitchen counter and it has only a 90 day warranty, could she be the oracle of doom? really, i get tired of these doomday senarios, did the mayans have any sense of their own inpending doom? if you think the end is near show me the science.

umm the poles flipping does cause massive climate changes, antarctica used to be a desert like continent before the dinosaurs. and yes i know the poles flipping is a regular thing, about once every 25,000 years. Which is the same amount of time it takes the earth to make an alignment with the blackhole in the center of the galaxy. And the I Chang wasnt just putting crap together form no where, the dates corresponded exactly with other signigicant dates in world history.

The magnetic poles flipping has nothing to do with climate. Antarctica used to be a desert because of CONTINENTAL DRIFT not pole flipping. The continent of antarctica used to be on the equator but drifted to the south pole. Look up continental drift or plate techtonics.

The flipping of the poles has nothing to do with a black hole 50k light years away. Like i said, its because the earth's core wobbles, the core is what generates our magnetic field.

And i never said the i chang put crap together, i was talking about the interpretation of it. The i cang was not written to predict the end of the world, it was written to predict peoples fortunes but ONE man, thousands of years after it was written, arranged the different symbols in the book into a graphical representation of history and the graph goes to 0 sometime in the 21st century. Keep in mind he could have arranged the symbols into any order to fit his own purpose. The i chang doesnt say the world ends in 2012, the graph that was created by this guy using symbols from the i chang says that it will. He just arranged these symbols so that the graph would correspond to events that had already happened in his time.

What really scares me isn't the mayan calendar but wondering how long those protons are gonna exist, because when they go...history as we know it...that's a scary f****n thought. Or there is a god in the heavens.

I don't buy it. If it was true, Prince's lyrics would have been "Tonight I'm going to party like it's 2011"

There have been prophecies of the world ending, for whatever reason, at each millenia, when the solar eclipses occurred, lunar eclipses, comets, and anything else.

We're more likely to kill ourselves off by pollution or war than through come cataclysm.

How can the magnetic fields swap or even change dramatically on the earth and NOT have any effect on the climate?

Because the magnetic field has no effect on the weather. All it does is deflect solar radiation away from the earth.

We're more likely to kill ourselves off by pollution or war than through some cataclysm.


i've always thought that if there was going to be a single final "end of the world" situation, it would be something very mundane.

Since the dawn of time people have feared the end of time. That sh!ts funny.

I agree that pollution or war will likely be the end of us all. We will poison the planet till it can no longer sustain life, or blow it to sh!t with some bombs and kill everyone in the process.

No we won't....termites will!!!

End of the world will be the year 2336. I even know the month!!! It'll be March. So yeah, 329yrs from now. No way to make sure it's true, but I know i'm right.

Doomsday predictions have been around and been total bullshit for thousands of years. No reason to believe any coming forth in our time will be any different.

Whew! 2336..that gives me plenty of time to decide if I want to get re-married or not.

I think its a bunch of bull. As others have said, we're to far away to be sucked in by a black hole or for it to have any effect. I don't think there will be chaotic weather storms or anything drastic when the poles flip. So many have said or predicted that the world will be destroyed before today, and it hasn't happened. Just wait till then and you'll see. If your worried, live normally. if anything is gonna happen, it's inevitable, can't be changed, so why worrie about it. As they say: live each day as it were your last.

add it to the list........:p

Alignment with black holes in the center of the galaxy? :rofl: Come back when you know wtf you;re talking about.

The SUNS magnetic poles flipping has more to do with our weather than our own. And the sun does it ever 11 years.

25,000 my ass. The human race hasn't even been recording history for that long, and all of a sudden people are getting ants in the pants over stupid crap they don't even understand.

Terminator said 1997 .... hmmm...

As they say: live each day as it were your last.

Living each day like a brand new day sounds much better. :icon16:

Living each day like a brand new day sounds much better. :icon16:lol, yeah, I guess...just never heard that one...

don't forget Y2K.
we're supposed to be dead already.
and a LOT of people believed that one.

Arent the Mayans the ones who are all dead because they sacrificed everyone for better crops, and more rain ... ?

The earths poles have switched around several times in our planets life time. Which would cause major climate changes.

Thier is also a big blackhole close to our galaxy but I doubt it will eat us up anytime soon :grinno:

Though it is funny/strange how so many gave the same year as to when it will end.. who knows!

Hope it at least waits till the end of 2012 :rolleyes:

one really big problem is all of the people who think the end is coming within their life times, such as the born again christians like Bush. they believe that they will be elevated to heaven in the rapture, the rest of you will go to hell and the earth will end. as such they have no regards to saving the earth and it's enviroment for future generations. why should they if they are correct?

someday we will figure out how to transform, then we will turn into evil bunny rabbits...

Well the planet has had many extinctions in its life.
The preservation of man is important, to me at least.

And we have the technology to stop most cataclysmic event.

"its the end of the world as we know it, and I feel fine" :lol:

Actually that was the Aztecks. And yes the poles have switched many times but it has no effect on climate. And the nearest black hole is about 1600 light years away, close by universe standards but way too far to even mention. Not to mention its not even a massive one.

Aztecks, Mayans doesnt matter they are extinct like the dino's.

I do disagree with that effect on climate from the poles shifting. If the poles move so does the whole planet thus putting each area into a different climate.
If the planet flip flops side ways weather will be drasticly changed. Which would probly wipe our little butts clean off existanz....

Hope we at least us up all the fossel fuels,
so the next time around we wont ruin everything with all the CO2 and CO2O.:lol:

And little black holes can become big eaters, at anytime it so desires. That sucks! :iceslolan

Its not the poles physically shifting, its just the magnetic field swapping ends.

blakscorpion21, I stand corected :uhoh:

Dont know wha it was thinking, but this link explains the magnetic field theory...

We'll just have screw compasses :rolleyes:
No cataclysmic events this year :disappoin

I know, dissapointing isnt it. :D

didn't nostradamus say it would end in 3000 something?

didn't nostradamus say it would end in 3000 something?

didn't nostradamus also make all of his predictions so vague that anyone could interpret them to mean anything?

^ As is the way of all prophets.

i'm not saying he's right. but it contradicts the other ones.

Wow 2012??? Shit, I'll barely be 32!!! DAMN. And I was hoping to live until I was 120!!

Seriously, I hate these doomsday predictions. They're all the same, and they smell like the same bullshit every time. At this point in my life, I'd welcome doomsday, just to be done with it already!!

well I'll have almost all of 2011 to do over 21 shit.


if it ends it ends .

If the end of the world is for 2012, in this case, I won't stop smoking and drinking :D

This world ends for each of us at the moment of our death. We will all die one day. :dunno:

i've always thought that if there was going to be a single final "end of the world" situation, it would be something very mundane.

It'd be morbidly funny if people spent so many years predicting the world's end through a series of cataclysmic, somewhat melodramatic events. Then all that happens is one day the sun inexplicably, and without warning, blows up. How many of you would react like, "Oh, you got to be kidding me..." right before being engulfed? I know I would.:runaround:

This world ends for each of us at the moment of our death. We will all die one day.

Very good point. Simple, yet undeniably true.

I think we shouldn't worry so much about the world ending, at least worry at things beyond our control. Whether it ends at 2012 or not, I'd like to live my life as it were. So when 2012 comes, I can look back and say, "Well, it's been fun, but I guess it's time to die." Or, if nothing happens, I can look forward and say, "Well, hey, let's keep on living then! Alright!" :smokin:
Either way, it seems like a win-win situation to have that attitude in life, impending cataclysm or not.

Dude, are you the guy who walks around the city wearing a sign saying "The end of the world is upon us" ???

didn't nostradamus also make all of his predictions so vague that anyone could interpret them to mean anything?

Two friends and I were threatened with expulsion during high school for proving that everything in the bible can effectively be contradicted by something else in the bible.

And people, please read up on the theory of black holes, and why they dont just suck up everything in their path. Even if the sun suddenly turned into a black hole... it wouldn't suck us up! It's not some goddamn vacuum cleaner. Outside of the event horizon, it has to follow the same rules (of physics) that everyone else does. The gravitational force on us from the one in the center of the galaxy is no different than the gravitational force of a super-super-duper-massive star at the center...at this distance: nil. The gravitational force of the MOON has much more to do with us.

MORE scare tactics.


This is all ancient bullshit.

The world was suppose to end in 1999, and again in 2000, and Christ was suppose to come back in 2001, and guess what? Shit didn't happen. All this is, is some pot smoking fool who thought up some scare tactics to gain public support to pursue a political career 1000 years ago.

Grats on believing such shit. And when the day comes, and goes, and the world is still here, guess what? I'll bump this thread, open a beer, and watch porn. mmm.....beer....

Meh, Cascade hops are not available, that means beer is less than it was, and that means life is coming to an end. :banghead:

I just figured I would throw this in here to give you guys a kick. It's a forum with people shatting their pants about the end of the world in 2012.

http://www.december212012.com/phpBB2/

Wow, people have too much spare time on their hands. A forum totally deicated to one event. And not even a large event like WWII which can have different topics. THis is like, New Year's Eve 2007. Let's all talk about that one day and try and catergorize everything.

Yet, they have managed to do though...rather...well...in a way...ish.

^^Haha yep. I would pay money to visit that forum when 2013 hits and nothing happend. I can gurantee you there will be 100 excuse threads within a hour.

Porn will never end, but with the shortage of hops, beer will end as we know it.

Nooooooooo.....to losing both porn and beer...that would be horrible

All of this seems more and more like real motivation to add all the go fast goodies you can to your ride and drive the crap out of it while you've still got the chance. That way, if all the predictions are a load of manure, you got to have your fun before you turned into a old fuddy duddy. If they're true, its still a win/win situation!....:)

... but with the shortage of hops, beer will end as we know it. :crying: say it ain't so! say it AIN'T SO! :crying:

Oh man, what started as a laugh thread of some stupid ancient bullshit has turned into sorrow, sadness, depression, and the thought of a hops crisis :(

So what would you do if the world really did end in 2012? That's if you knew for sure...I bet somehow people would start spending money like crazy and it would get us out of this recession haha(I know that's not really funny cause the 'recession' or whatever it is you want to call it, sucks)

Oh man, what started as a laugh thread of some stupid ancient bullshit has turned into sorrow, sadness, depression, and the thought of a hops crisis :( I was laughing, except for the hops thing, knifeblade caused me to have nightmares. :lol: I don't care if the world does end, I can't stop it, but I'd like to be drunk if it does! :cheers: :spit:

Hey, everyone has their priorities, :iceslolan

I only mentioned it because I brew for a micro-brewery as part of my employment [or is it sustenance :wink:] Best damn Stout in the world!!!!

Well, it was, until we couldn't get the hops for our formula, :frown:

umm the poles flipping does cause massive climate changes, antarctica used to be a desert like continent before the dinosaurs. and yes i know the poles flipping is a regular thing, about once every 25,000 years.

And the I Chang wasnt just putting crap together form no where, the dates corresponded exactly with other signigicant dates in world history.


the black hole is in the center so how could it align with it and it takes more tha 25k years for the galaxy to spin one time

also it is a crock of shit just like the year 2000
