8 Reasons the World Will End In 2012

[Arkad]

Scientific experts from around the world are genuinely predicting that in 2012, all life on Earth could well finish. Some are saying it'll be humans that 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 presses the stop button...


1. Mayan Calendar

The first mob 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.

2. 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 so much 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

3. The Atom Smasher

Scientists in Europe have been building the world's largest particle accelerator. Basically its a 27km 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.

4. The Bible says...

If having scientists warning us about the end of the world isn't bad enough,religious folks are getting in on the act aswell. Interpretations of the Christian Bible reveal that the date for Armageddon, the final battle between Good an Evil, has been set down 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.

5. Super Volcano

Yellowstone National Park in the 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.

6. The Physicists

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

7. Slip-Slop-Slap-BANG!

We all know the Earth is surrounded by a magnetic field that sheilds 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 20-30kms each year, much faster than ever before, which points to a pole-shift being right around the corner. While the pole shift is underway, 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.

I want tom be there for the end of the world so i can tell my kids about it after...

9. Alien invasion. Fox Mulder hax0red the computer and found the secret date for the invasion - 2012. There was also a specific day - but I forget now. So will 1~8 all happen on January 1st?

[TheRockstar2253]

December 21, 2012. There will be lots of traffic due to last minute Christmas shopping. It will be snowing in most areas of the north, but little snow in the south. There will be a high chance of rain in the southeast. The people who predict the end of the world will be laughed at for being such idiots.

Get over it peoples. Its not gonna happen.

[Peoharen]

Those blasted scientists trying to blast us to our blasted doom. I'll blast them later to stop their blasted blast experiments from blasting us to death and become the hero who blasted the blasting scientists trying to blast.

[Anti-Basic]

No wonder you belive in the 'power' of the Secret.

EDIT: btw: Geomagnetic reversal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia 2012 != 3000 - 4000. And Homo Erectus survived it. *mandatory giggle at "homo erectus"*

[Rosetta]

You have made it undeniable you are a New Age believer Arkad.

The world did not end in 1994 the last "big" time that all the New Age people were buying into the "end of the world" stuff and it will not end in 2012. For those that were not around and did not have to listen to this pap while growing up - New Age believers went by Nostradamus prediction of World War III approaching in the year 1994. Along with the usual , sun storms, scientific discoveries of the time, politics, natural disasters, disease - mainly AIDS at the time, etc.

If it does all "end", by some odd fluke or twist in reality, it's all got to end sometime anyhow and 2012 is as good as a year as any.

What's your sign?
(and yes I am really asking, not just being glib)

[Radwen]

Lol, I wish I could believe that junk. It would make me ever so happy...

Anyways, kiwi should survive just as long as he holds a boner right?

[Radwen]

Wait, I know! Lets all put our thoughts together and use the law of attraction to make it happen!

[anybody]

I really hate to talk about this kind of stuff 'cause I don't like thinking about all this end of the world crap but since I'm here I'm curious if anyone has ever read the patriot act and what it is about? It abolished the constitution, our inalienable rights, the bill of rights, all of it. It is all gone. It also gave mister bushy the right to declare martial law on the people of America. What do you think home land security is? Protection? Protection from who? Mister Bushy has done far more damage to this country then most people realize.

I suggest researching Hitler and how he came into power. Once you've figured it out you'll see the same damn thing going on right here in America.

Look at the gas prices. It is already $4.50 a gallon. Did this stimulus check actually do anything to benefit the economy. It didn't help us in 1929 when the great depression started.

The hell with all that. This is all I need to say. I'm making two predictions. The economy is and will completely tumble as it did in the great depression that started in 1929. To the point that people are eating rat burgers as they did in the great depression. Iran and Sierra are going to be invaded ether by us or some other country but they are going to be invaded. I'm not making any predictions to when this is all going to happen. If it'll happen before or after 2012 but it is going to happen.

So now what? Pretty far fetched uh? Yeah, maybe it is. All we can do is sit back let life go on and wait to see if I'm right or wrong.

[TMSTKSBK]

Sierra? As in Sierra Nevada?

Or did you perhaps mean Syria?

Oh. That was your credibility flying out the window.

[Anti-Basic]

lolol owned.

I especially like this part

Simply because of the extreme ambiguity. Almost every country has been invaded at one point in history, it'll probably be the same for the future.

[anybody]

Lol, yeah, Syria.

Time will tell.

[Radwen]

I will conquer the world in 2012. Mark my words.

Well you can, but I give no warranty on that. We'll see if it happens.

[anybody]

I'm saying that this is going to happen but the thing is I have no immediate proof. My proof is time.

[Anti-Basic]

Like I said, every country gets invaded at one point or another, so you're technically right if Syria gets invaded in the year 5608. Or 3042. or 2012. Or any other time.

It's like saying "eventually, it will rain." Because, of course it will.

[Hammerhand]

*Packs a lunch in preparation for the Sierra invasion* (I dont want to get hungry) Oh yeah, I'll need money too for the slot machines. *Invades checking account*

depending on location of course?, the chance of it raining at the North or South pole is like never, It snows almost all the time, but if it were to rain at the North or South poles does that mean that global warming would have melted the Polar Ice Caps and ended the world?

"It's like saying "eventually, it will rain." Because, of course it will."

So by applying this statement to the location of the current North & South poles, You have actually predicted that the earth is going to end, when it rains.

Note: I read over what i just typed and it doesn't make no senses to me.

[TheRockstar2253]

Nobody really knows the end the of world. It will come when it is ready.

Not to mention the fact that when it does, there isnt going to be one single thing on the planet left alive to cry about it. So personally, I'm not going to worry about it. I'll just live my non life, create my lousy scripts, work my deadend job and continue on oblivious of when the end comes. Not much else to do other than that, now is there?

I agree with you.

I didn't say in a specific area, i just said the event (rain) would indeed occur. That being said, I was probably thinking in my head of my area, Mr. hair splitter. But I'm not gonna change it to "precipitation" simply because you want to be facetious.

I just think it's interesting to leave through these times. There have been some really big milestones that have happened in the past 30+ years.

Vietnam; Cold War and threat of nuclear war; Collapse of the Soviet Union and the fall of communism; landing on the moon/Mars; 9/11... then there's the year milestones. 2000/2001. The last time there was an end of a millenium (sp), the Dark Ages were just getting underway.

Now we have the actual end of the Mayan calendar. There isn't another calendar. As far as I know, there aren't any other specific dates like this mentioned in any other culture/religion. I don't think anything is really going to happen. I believe more in Chaos than Order. I believe in Entropy. There is no final "date". If something happens, something happens. We're all fucked anyway.

But it's interesting to know that we're actually living through these times. These milestones.

(yes, I'm high. leave me alone).

EDIT: Besides, figuring out an actual date is meaningless. Dates are human inventions to describe time, which wouldn't even exist if there was no life in the universe.
