2012 a Miscalculation; Actual Calendar Ends 2220

"News is spreading quickly here that scientists writing in a popular science periodical (Dutch) have debunked the 2012 date (google translation linked) featuring so prominently in doomsday predictions/speculation across the web. On 2012-12-21, the sun will appear where you would normally be able to see the 'galactic equator' of the Milky Way; an occurrence deemed special because it happens 'only' once every 25.800 years, on the winter solstice. However, even if you ignore the fact that there is no actual galactic equator, just an observed one, and that the visual effect is pretty much the same for an entire decade surrounding that date, there are major problems with the way the Maya Calendar is being read by doomsday prophets."

I guess we will have to live through 211 more years of these topics...:P

Didn't Mayans even say that they never said the world was going to end?

hm. 2012 or 2220 whatever xD
I don't care...
I heard that last time. a big meteor "missed" earth. : ) it was like 8 megatons (half of hiroshima)
It flew beetwen moon and earth ^^.
And Media haven't even mentioned about this . Whoa! ; o xD
We live ina one big lie! ...

So, we'll be all dead before then anyways, so it's not like we'll even see it. So the topics won't happen, but my children's children, and maybe their children with die from it.

By that time we should already be living on the moon, and mabye one other planet. I mean "they".

Its all rubbish any how

Of course it was ;)

I think some people are getting worried that they'll be wrong, so they chose a backup date :P

Haha well said. I thought I was right about that but I just wanted to make sure. Not that I believed the world was ending in 2012 anyways.

this is ridiculous, the world will end when it ends, and we cant predict it whatsoever.GazaAli

"Oh yeah well I was alive when mankind was destroyed. Ha!"Ace6301

Wait what? D:

we'll be in another solar system by the time this happens.

sounds like my great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great grandchildren have a big problem... CyleM

besides paying back all the money that the US has been borrowing from China

this whole time Obama was betting that we wouldn't pay Chinaback cuz the world would end by 2012

now, he's freakin out as he reads this article :lol:

I have serious douts about humans ever having the technological ability to EVER reach nother solar system. I could see possibly colonizing planets, but not solar systems. At least not even 200 years form now. These places are very far from us.

exactly, so lets, like, just not worry about it and have fun

I laughed when I saw this.Looks like the 2012 movie came a wee bit too soon. :lol:

See, this is what happens when certain scientists find out that their calculations were screwy, they just change the date. People get scared too easy. In truth, no one knows when it'll happen, and frankly, I don't care when it does. Let's worry about what's going on NOW and brush aside all this nonsense.

In 2217, they're going to say that 2220 was also a miscalculation, and we actually have until 2431. It'll take away some of the hype surrounding the movie "2220," which is going to be the first disaster film viewable in 5D.

Well that's a relief! Gives me more time to complete mah Bucket List.

i believe that the Mayan said there calender will end in 2012, but it just means a new age.... the world is not gonna end in 2012...

but this just means make a new calender ")

bitemeslippy

They said something would happen. I don't think they were specific. I think it was something to do with their gods or whatever. For all we know it could be an eclipse or a solar flare or something.

So now if it doesn't happen on 2012 there will be people going crazy about 2220. The madness never ends.

So I bought and built a bomb shelter for NOTHING! I guess I can turn it into a guest room.

lol the calandar may end that date doesnt mean anything ,

something can happen between now and then for all we know , you may die tommorow ,

we dont know , remember, the calandar is man made,

therefore it were printed

The world will not end in 2012 nor 2220.
