Do You Guys Believe 2012 Will Be Our Demise?

They have all these theories about Mayan Calendars and the Earth losing it's gravitational pull and blah blah blah. What are your thoughts on this matter?

maybe the mayans just ran out of ink to finish their calendar?

i know i have.

Earth losing gravitational pull?

So you're saying we are either losing tons of mass or our rotation is slowing down. Both are are totally incorrect...

Unless we are literally launching billion of kilos of dirt and rocks off our of planet, we aren't losing mass so we must be slowing our rotation. A quick google search shows that the rotation speed of the Earth is1037.5646 miles per hour. That means all of us on the surface are moving that fast right now. If we were losing speed even by 1 mile per hour a day, we would notice a slowdown in an increased time it takes for a day to pass, less gravity, and general momentum.

This isn't happening. The Earth is slowing down it's rotation, but we are 4 billion years old and it has only slowed by hundred at the most. I do believe at one time day length on earth was 18 hours? Maybe a bit longer. So over 4 billion years we added... 6 hours onto our day. I think we are fine.

Of course, because the Mayan's predicted their demise as a civilization and prevented it... oh wait.

How can anyone actually believe that an ancient civilization can predict the end of the world and not even foresee their downfall?

I'm not saying this. It's just another one of the ridiculous theories people are throwing out there. I personallythink thatLaser Cats will be our Demise

No, but I can still hope.

Oh, well, it's an album cover. It's a face made out of a pizza box, or some other rubbish.

Apple's awesome. Justin Bieber sucks. If you're hating on stuff OT hates to look cool, it doesn't make you look cool. Just saying. It makes you look ignant. And you don't want to look ignant. I'm just trying to help you out :)GHlegend77
