Question about 2012?

Sooooo whats so deadly about 2012, is this just another scare like what happened in the 1999 - 2000 Transition with Technology? Or is there scientific evidence that the year 2012 will be the end of mankind?

It is alarmists who have misinterpreted an ancient Mayan myth. Nothing more.

There is not actually any scientific evidence, just stupid theories.The whole thing is based on the Mayan calendar, but people have just worked their theories around that. There are rumours about polar shifts, meteors, planet alignment, solar storms, super volcanic eruptions etc., but there's no evidence that if any of these things happen (which are highly unlikely) they will happen on 2012. And the media doesn't exactly help, any news article about "the end of the world" is going to get a lot of people interested, even if all the "evidence/2 is BS. There's really nothing to worry about, once 2012 is over, it will just so in the pile of unfulfilled doomsday prophecies, then we'll have 2015 or 2018 or 2023 or whatever to "fear".

whoever believes it is an idiot. the whole thing revolves around the Mayan calendar. on December 21, 2012, the Mayan calendar ends, which some lunatics mistakenly take as the end of the world. maybe they just ran out of numeric symbols to make dates with. nothing will happen.

every generation theres been speculation of the end of the world but it never happens, however one day they might get it right. the human race have to die out someday, hopefully its not 2012

HERE is all you need to know.

its a load of hoopla if you ask me

go watch penn & teller bull****, theyve got an episode on it i think :D

The movie coming out looks like it will be a really fun one to watch though (effects wise) but thats probably the only thing that i will find entertaining out of the slight hysteria that will come about.

These theories always come about every so often didnt Notradamous day the world was gonna end on May 5th 1999?

It's funny to see how people reacted to Y2K back in the days. Such idiots. Now another "doomsday" date. 12/21/2012. Give me a break. Look we're all gonna die, that's inevitable but the world coming to an end..... yeah, no. The world eventually coming to an end caused by us due to pollution & using limited resources. That's possible & true but probably isn't an exact date for that & probably won't happen in my lifetime.

The Mayans predicted 2012 will be the end of the world. I don't have the time to explain just how intelligent the Mayans were, but I will say their astronomy was just as advanced as it is today... if not more.

Some people, including myself, believe the Mayans worshipped aliens. But even if they didn't, just assuming that alone speaks highly of the Mayan's astrnonomical ability. If anyone is just a little bit interested in Astrnonomy, 2012, aliens or ancient civilisations, I suggest you take a look at the Mayans.

Well it sucks for me if its true, the day that they have speculated the world ends on, will be my 31st b'day.

It's a shame you don't have time to explain more about the Mayans, since I don't believe their astronomy was as advanced as ours is today.

There is going to be a UNIX time overflow crisis in 2035, based on the date word length format. Potentially, there is a far greater risk to computer systems in 2035 then than there was for the millenium bug.

December 21, 2012... 8) A time to PARTY!
