Will the Earth really be destroyed on 21st December, 2012? Please read the whole question.?

Question

SCIENTIFIC EXPERTS from around the world are predicting that five years from now, all life on Earth could well come to an end. Some are saying it’ll be humans that would set it off. Others believe that a natural phenomenon will be the cause. And the religious folks are saying it’ll be God himself who would press the stop button. The following are some likely arguments as to why the world would end by the year 2012.


Reason one: Mayan calendar

The first to predict 2012 as the end of the world were the Mayans, a bloodthirsty race that were good at two things -- building highly accurate astrological equipment out of stone and sacrificing virgins.

Thousands of years ago they managed to calculate the length of the lunar moon as 329.53020 days, only 34 seconds out. The Mayan calendar predicts that the earth will end on December 21, 2012. Given that they were pretty close to the mark with the lunar cycle, it’s likely they’ve got the end of the world right as well.

Reason two: Sun storms

Solar experts from around the world monitoring the sun have made a startling discovery. Our sun is in a bit of strife. The energy output of the sun is, like most things in nature, cyclic and it’s supposed to be in the middle of a period of relative stability. However, recent solar storms have been bombarding the earth with lot of radiation energy. It’s been knocking out power grids and destroying satellites. This activity is predicted to get worse and calculations suggest it’ll reach its deadly peak sometime in 2012. Even NASA approves of it and confirms it.

Reason three: The atom smasher

Scientists in Europe have been building the world’s largest particle accelerator. Basically, its a 27 km tunnel designed to smash atoms together to find out what makes the universe tick. However, the mega-gadget has caused serious concern, with some scientists suggesting that it’s properly even a bad idea to turn it on in the first place. They’re predicting all manner of deadly results, including mini black holes. So when this machine is fired up for its first serious experiment in 2012, the world could be crushed into a super-dense blob the size of a basketball.

Reason four: The Bible says it

If having scientists warning us about the end of the world isn’t bad enough, religious folks are getting in on the act as well. Interpretations of the Christian Bible reveal that the date for Armageddon, the final battle between good an evil, has been set for 2012. The I Ching, also known as the Chinese Book of Changes, says the same thing, as do various sections of the Hindu teachings.

Reason five: Super volcano

Yellowstone National Park in United States is famous for its thermal springs and old faithful geyser. The reason for this is simple -- it’s sitting on top of the world’s biggest volcano and geological experts are beginning to get nervous sweats. The Yellowstone volcano has a pattern of erupting every 650,000 years or so, and we’re many years overdue for an explosion that will fill the atmosphere with ash, blocking the sun and plunging the earth into a frozen winter that could last up to 15,000 years. The pressure under the Yellowstone is building steadily, and geologists have set 2012 as a likely date for the big bang.

Reason six: The physicists

This one’s case of bog -- simple maths mathematics. Physicists at Berkely University have been crunching the numbers. They’ve determined that the earth is well overdue for a major catastrophic event. Even worse, they’re claiming that their calculations prove that we’re all going to die, very soon. They are also saying that their prediction comes with a certainty of 99 per cent; and 2012 just happens to be the best guess as to when it occurs.

Reason seven: Earth’s magnetic field

We all know the Earth is surrounded by a magnetic field that shields us from most of the sun’s radiation. What you might not know is that the magnetic poles we call North and South have a nasty habit of swapping places every 750,000 years or so -- and right now we’re about 30,000 years overdue. Scientists have noted that the poles are drifting apart roughly 20-30 kms each year, much faster than ever before, which points to a pole-shift being right around the corner. While the pole shift is under way, the magnetic field is disrupted and will eventually disappear, sometimes for up to 100 years. The result is enough UV outdoors to crisp your skin in seconds, killing everything it touches.

So is the earth really going to be destroyed on 21st December, 2012? I don't believe in the religious reasons. But even NASA confirms the solar storms. And what about the volcano. And polar shift, which was discovered by Albert Einstein. 1st please read all the proof, then answer the question. And please give the proof as to why you say 'yes' or 'no'.

Answer 1

"No"....



Mayan Calendar: Did you know that every year, around 50 or so religious "end of the world" theories are disproven. for instance, in the year 2000, 42 independent doomsday theories were disproven. Also, the lunar moon days is a SCIENTIFIC and MATHEMATICAL process, whereas "the end of the world" is speculation, so that is why they could predict that, but not the end of the world.



Sun Storms: NASA warns of destruction, but they also go to say "Governments would be powerless to curb the loss of crucial infrastructure including power grids, potable water and sewage disposal, the report said, potentially crippling our way of life for months.".....Notice that this is not the end of the world. It would just fry electronic devices. Hardly a doomsday.



The bible says it: Please read my response to the Mayans.



Yellowstone volcano: Taken from the official website: "The idea that Yellowstone may be "overdue" is also faulty. With only three catastrophic eruptions and two intervals between to go on there is not enough data to say that another one should be occurring in the near future."



The physicists: As a physicist myself.... I know of no such research. Even the official Berkley university website shows nothing of the sort. HOAX. There is no miracle formula for predicting the earth is going to have a cataclysmic event in 2012 with 99% certainty...that is purely ludicrous information.



Earth's magnetic field: No evidence supports any of these statements. a) the shift occurs every 300 000 years and b) they do not know how long the stasis period lasts.









In summary, the Earth won't end in 2012. But to really scare you. The Earth could end at any moment, of any day, of any year..... google the word quasar and have fun...



Until then, a word of advice: Don't read anything that does not have an objective (2 sided, not one sided) view, and ludicrously unsubstantiated reasoning.

Answer 2

The only thing that is actually set for 2012 that you listed is the Mayan Calendar ending. That's just it, though, do most folks freak out every December 31st when our calendar ends for that year and we go to the new calendar for the next year? Generally not. Everything else you have listed is only meant to pander to conspiracy theorists and the likes by using some ideas that are meant to sound scientific. Simple saying "NASA confirms it" means nothing when in reality whatever group being mentioned was only confirming that there are solar storms, there is a supervolcano under Yellowstone, etc. What they are not confirming is that the world is absolutely going to end relatively soon because of it, that's only a popularization of the whole 2012 myth by folks who believe it. On the religious side, Christians and other groups have always been predicting the end of the world for millenia. Technically yes they will be right about when the world ends, but it's more that people are always saying it's going to end rather than accurately predicting it.

Answer 3

There is going to be no doomsday event in 2012. When something ends (even something as innocent as an ancient calendar), people seem to think up the most extreme possibilities for the end of civilization as we know it.



The planets only "align" in a very rough fashion.

When astrologers speak of the planets being aligned (something which doesn't really concern astronomers) they don't mean that the planets will actually all lie on a straight line at some instant of time. One calculation of alignments within around thirty degrees (about as close as they can get) shows that the last such alignment was in 561 BC, and the next will be in 2854. All eight planets are somewhat aligned every 500 years, and are grouped within 30 degrees every 1 to 3 alignments. Any time they all get within about 90 degrees of each other, someone will claim they're "aligned." The last time this happened was 1982 when dire predictions were heard about how the "Jupiter effect" would lead to world-wide disaster.

Over the history of this planet there have been about 45 million such "alignments." The fact that we're still here to talk about it is proof enough that nothing *too* terrible happens!



There is absolutely no scientific evidence supporting the claim that there could be a geomagnetic reversal around the time of December 21st, 2012.

the effects of such a reversal have been totally over-hyped.

Pole Shifts have happened more than 180 times before, as detected in the paleomagnetic record of rocks on the ocean floor and in some lava flows. These magnetic reversals take place every 100,000 to 25 million years, according to Scientific American, and may take as long as 5,000 years to do so.

We'll most likely experience aurorae at all latitudes whilst the dipolar magnetic field settles down to its new, reversed state, and there might be a small increase in energetic particles from space

we'll still be protected by our thick atmosphere.

Don't be taken in by such nonsense.

Answer 4

Utter garbage.



"SCIENTIFIC EXPERTS from around the world are predicting that five years from now, all life on Earth could well come to an end."



Name one.



"The first to predict 2012 as the end of the world were the Mayans"



They predicted no such thing. Have you ever seen a Mayan calendar? Would you understand one if you did?



I have a calendar on my wall. It ends on December 31st 2010. Does that mean the world will end then?



Reason 2 is utterly untrue. Not one satellite has been destroyed. NASA has confirmed no such thing.



]Reason 3 is also nonsense. The particle accelerator has been switched on and we are still here. At least, I am.



I'll ignore reason 4. It is too stupid to even consider. Total lies.



In fact I'll totally ignore the rest of your infantile post. It is patently untrue.



Do some real research and get a real education instead of regurgitating nonsense you read on the internet.

Answer 5

first off, when you copy/paste material from a site without stating where you got it, that's PLAGARISM... and illegal.... that crap came from here...or one of the others that also copied it...



http://www.merinews.com/article/the-world-will-end-in-2012-say-experts/139440.shtml



no, the Earth will not be destroyed on Dec 21, 2012.... religiously or any other way, and NASA said NOTHING about solar storms, by the way...... what volcano?... they go off all the time, all around the world!.... same with EARTHQUAKES which your OLD website didn't mention(FIVE YEARS?.. gee, looks like TWO to me!)...... and polar shift was NOT discovered by Einstein!!.... sheesh.... where DO you get your 'facts' from, anyhoo?.. the neighborhood junkies????.....



the folks above have given you GOOD websites to read about the true story.... do go read something that is REAL for a change!!!....



ps... there is NO PERSON, alive or dead that has the power to PREDICT any of the things that are hooked to the 'end of the world' scenarios.....



straighten UP!!.. fly RIGHT!!... don't be a dingleberry!!!

Answer 6

He's probably just trying to make a joke or a prank of some sort. There is no evidence that the world is ending by 2012

Answer 7

Name me one scientific expert who said that? Cant? Well, its expected. Every renowned scientist would know that this 2012 is a complete hoax. NASA confirms the solar storms...to occur in 2013 around May. As for all the other reasons why 2012 is BS, please look at these websites where RELIABLE information is out up by PROPER SCIENTISTS.

Answer 8

IIE is NO at Japan, everything you say is wrong, you just blindly repeat crude hoax, frauds invent it make money sell books, movie, TV shows of it, "scientific experts" not predict this because they know is hoax, Mayans not predict end of world, frauds wrongly say that, Bible, I Ching, Hindu sacred texts not say anything of 2012, is lie frauds tell, is no pole shift at 2012, are many of history but cause no disasters, is another lie frauds tell at silly hoax, IIE is NO Earth not destroyed 12/21/12, is just crude hoax, is all lies, everything you say here is just absurd lies of amateurish hoax, read scientists refute these absurd lies, stop read lies.

Answer 9

I hope not. We would miss christmas that year! And by then I would have already gotten everyone presents! And its no excuse if the world doesn't end on the 21st.... on christmas day when no one has any presents from me.. 'Well I thought we were all going to die, sorry!'

Answer 10

<>



No.

The first sentence was bad enough to persuade me not to waste time with reading the rest.

Answer 11

its 2015 now and we survived,that only proves that it was all rumours and fake about our earth. I don t think our earth will get destroyed so soon.
