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.
