Research shows we no longer need to think about 2012 - already happened

Our current calendar is the Gregorian Calendar...it's been in use since 2-24-1582.

It replaced the Julian Calendar, as that one had accumulated an error of 10 days when the decree was made to replace it.

The Julian assumed the time between vernal equinoxes was 365.25 days, when in fact it's 11 minutes less.

We are all aware of the B.C./A.D. division of years.

Modern historians have verified that King Herod of Judea (responsible for Bethlehem massacre) died in 4 B.C., thus our calendar is behind by a minimum of four years...

2010 + 4 = 2014, 2014 > 2012.

2012 passed by two years ago, and without a catastrophic incident.:P

I won't lie, this made me chuckle.

I actually read earlier today that a lot of historians think that our interpretation of the Mayan calender may be off by 50-100 years. This is apparently due to the fact that the guy who originally interpreted it miscalculated and / or had insufficient data for an accurate estimate. Because there isn't enough research into the matter, we may not know how far off we are, therefore, even by your reasoning 2012 may still happen. If it even is a doomsday prophecy, which it clearly isn't.

2012 is a farce to begin with. So, the only thing that remains to see is which is the bigger farce-- Y2K or 2K12.

MathMattS

Y2K at least had a semi-reasonable fear within the noise, which is what would happen to computer systems that only use the last two digits of the year after 1999 passes. The whole 2012 thing is based on quite literally nothing but a misinterpretation that even the people from whom it came says is BS.

Meh...I never believed it anyway. But that wouldn't stop the idea until 2013 and then a new year will be picked.LJS9502_basic
