It's freaking me out and I don't know what's more true or what's more logical help me out here. I graduate college in 2011 I can't just have only a year left of freedom! ok deep in side, I strongly doubt we are all going to say our farewell to all the dedication we've put into our blogs, and die because of a solar storm. But that's because I'm wishful thinking.
And I don't get the whole Mayan thing either, how do their ancient calendar tell us our earth is deteriorating when we now have modern geologists? Call me stupid but what am I to think :/
ps. some even mentioned to me about 2011!?

I say we are all gonna go when it's time to go-
oh god. i wish i were at least 50 already

Its nothing more than slightly educated scare mongering. We're all gonna feel pretty stupid when 2013 comes around.
On the other hand live each day like it's your last anyway.
I know.....sometimes easier said than done-
Its the begining of the end...
Or
Is it the end of the begining... she says with eyebrow raised

The Mayan calendar says nothing about the Earth deteriorating. It just ends on a certain day. Like any other calendar. Every year on New years Eve, do people run around saying the world is ending? No. They just buy a new calendar.-
Yup. That's exactly right! -
i really do hope so!
-

To me, this is similar to the "the entire infrastructure will collapse and mobs will rule" fear mongering that preceeding "Y2K" - and absolutely nothing happened.
A much greater fear for me than any particular date on the calendar would be man-made nuclear war, some earth colliding comet coming from behind the sun and only being detected days before impact, or a direct blast of gamma radiation from a nearbye supernova that blows away our atmosphere.
Well, that and old people driving. Which surprisingly, the Mayans don't seem to have mentioned.-
HAHAHAAHA You are amazing
and that comet story actually sounds plausible and really scary...! -
The Mayans didn't even see the Spanish coming and they barged in guns blazing. Enough said. -
What do you mean "fear mongering that preceded Y2K and absolutely nothing happened". That's because every software engineer on planet Earth worked like crazy in 1999 to fix all the problems.
p.s. The next time related bug at 2038 might be worse.

The most bankrupt industry is predicting the end of the world. No previous prediction has been correct.
In 1999, I remember the Y2K thing, and some quatrain of Nostradamus suggesting the world was going to go up in flames in July 1999. Well, we're here, aren't we?
Life will more than likely carry on beyond December 2012 as well.-
oh wow i completely forgot about the y2k thing hahaha it was cool when it was still a prediction though. it made the world feel kind of matrixy, especially because i was still in 4th grade and my teachers made it sound all sci-fi and serious

What I know about 2012 is there is supposed to be an inversion of the magnetic poles of planet earth, which would open us up to higher frequencies, unless they are artifically held down
-
Yeah that's what I heard as well. But is that supposed to kill us?! nasa says the sun's going to make a huge flare thats going to cause a hugggge solar storm!!!!!!!
-
I'd surmise not if there is enough orgonite around.
-
The earth's magnetic field has actually flipped several times before, it seems to happen on average every 300 000 years. The reversal itself takes a couple of thousand years to complete, and the magnetic field does not disappear while this is happening, it just gets more messy. It will keep protecting us from radiation and solar storms.
science.nasa.gov/headlines/Y2003/29dec_magneticfield.htm -
Rainhat - indeed - and I recall once seeing mention of a study that suggested that despite our assumption that massive extinctions might have been linked to equally massive magnetic shifts, the opposite seemed to be true and that life was evidently thriving during those periods. Even if "thriving" is a bit of a stretch, clearly it managed to survive.
It's something I've always wanted to look more into, so if anyone is involved in those fields, I'd be fascinated to learn what insights/theories are being discussed now?
Some related things I often wonder about:
-what prompted the prevelance of enourmously large creatures in previous eras of earth history? Atmospheric changes? I'm talking from just before the dinosaurs all the way up through the "megafauna" that shared the earth with early humans.
-what prompted the rise of hominid species? From homo habilus and erectus right up through to us (and everything in between). It's like life went "ape related hominid" crazy there for a moment.
-Is evolution all about random mutation,survival of the fittest, and natural selection, or is there some sort of logic and/or "triggers" behind the changes we observe over time? Related to that - why do some eras seem to be rife with rapid changes while others are more slow and deliberate (my guess is that necessity is the mother of "invention").
- how the heck did DNA and RNA (not to mention Mitochondria)come into existence? Were they just random inceptions?
-
-
So here honey, do i need to buy and run with a new spaceship or just watching the news on that day of 2012? -
Just use a different calendar and you'll be fine.
-
lol, there's always a solar storm, a meteor the size of manhatten, something that will apparently wipe us out. Never gunna happen! Well...maybe...
And if it does it's just bad luck not because we've been bad boys and girls. -
Hi, You can find very interesting information on this subject and video on my blog; vijayanths.blogspot.com/2008/12/will-earth-die-on-21-december-2012.html-
alright i'm watching your videos right now. the narrator sound kinda funny?..

Lets think about this, A dead person (even if its all of us dead together) knows that its over what happened did matter, But then it won't matter. Blogs and the world we have our for the living. And nobody will be hurt if we all move together. And we'll have our memories to entertain ourselves till we can move on. -
2012... I know so much to do with it.. I should write a song about 2012... -
I don't know what's the real deal but the movie looks good!-
The real deal is nothing to do with that movie... The movie is only ment to scare people...
-
oh i know jamcan, i haven't seen it yet though. the trailer looked so intense. i should go netflix it right now!

"Call me stupid but what am I to think :/"
Ask yourself this: If the Mayans were such great prophets, why didn't they make sure that Columbus, Cortes et al. were killed the moment they got off their boats? Even in the post-Classical period, they were still around, millions of them, and they were even less pacifistic than most of the Europeans, so the thought of snuffing out the bringers of disaster shouldn't have provided them with any sleepless nights. I seem to recall reading about a sizable seagoing "war canoe" of theirs being reported by one of the early travellers, so getting to Columbus' landing site before he got there should have been easy. If they could see the future.
Which they couldn't, of course. More the pity for them, and less the pity for us. Even if they had made such a prediction of the world ending in 2002 - which they hadn't - why would we take it seriously?
"a solar storm"
I believe I saw that movie. No, the sun doesn't erupt that violently. The biggest worry during a massive solar flare is that communications satellites will be damaged.-
Actually, they thought they were their Gods (Cortez), which they had forseen in prophecy. I'm not saying they were, but THEY believed it.

"I believe I saw that movie. No, the sun doesn't erupt that violently. The biggest worry during a massive solar flare is that communications satellites will be damaged."
Yeah I really hope that this 2012 thing just means we won't get to use cellphones for a few days

what's the date in 2012? Check and see if the stock market is open that day. If it's open, short the market before the panic. Next day you have lots of money or everyone is gone. Seems like a good bet.-
hahahahahaha. its on dec 21
-
-
Well damn! Let's get some human sacrificing going on then!-
I get the virgins! -
in this day and age? Dream on!
