What's up with 2012?

Every other page there’s a post of 2012. Too many people are worried about the end of the world, and not what they should be concerned about. Might I ask what brought this silly myth about anyway’s?

The Mayan calendar ends, the magnetic poles shift, galactic eclipse, alignment of the planets, solar storm, Nostradamus. Might I ask if anyone who claims these are signs of then end of the world, of you had done any research at all?

Nostradamus did not have a prediction of 2012 being the end of the world, those who do are leading you astray. Many scholars who’ve read Nostradamus believe that his end of the world prophecy is the sun will engulf the planet. Basically, when the sun starts to die and expands, which isn’t, at the least, for another few thousands of years.

Solar storms, they are practically harmless. What a solar storm is, the sun emits a burst of solar energy. It doesn’t really do anything other than overload power chords, the electric systems and cause a black out. Scientist are already looking for a way to prevent it. The best thing is just to turn off the power before hand. How will we know? They’re looking for that, too, and have almost found a solution.

“The super volcano can erupt at any time now.” Monitors have been placed around the volcano in yellow stone park. We should know approximately up to 10 days before it erupts. It will be a mass disaster, yes, but it has happened before and we’re still alive now, aren’t we.

As for the galactic eclipse. There’s superstitions flying about that each galactic eclipse( when the sun appears to be at the center of universe from the view point of the earth) that some catastrophic event happens. Again, though catastrophic, we’re still alive and it was never the end of the world.

The planets will align, zipidy-doo-da, grab a telescope and enjoy.

The magnetic poles will shift. They’re probably shifting as we speak. I doubt it’s something that happens in a blink of an eye, though scientist are still skeptical about that. But again, it’s happened before, the planet is still here, it hasn’t ended.

Planet X Planet X orbits close to Earth every 3,600 years. Nothing new. Now here’s something to think about if you want to. Anthropologist have determined that the 3 crucial early phases of human evolution-farming, rudimentary culture, civilization- happened during 3,600 year intervals.

And now for the Mayan calendar. The Mayan’s long count calendar will end. So? What does that have to do with the end of the world? Once the calendar ends it starts over again. As for their supposed prophets of doom on this date, show me. The Mayans have “prophesied” beyond the date of 2012, and(get this) they DO NOT have any prophesies of impending doom.

Besides, if 2012 is the end of the world, would you really want to know? Think of it here END OF WORLD, meaning you wont survive. You’ll survive a catastrophic event, but not the end of the world. If it were to be the end, which I highly doubt, why not enjoy it rather than worry about it.

However, if you feel the need to worry Worry about how to get through this recession Worry about what the government is doing with our tax money Worry about the war Worry about ways to stop global warming Worry about illness Worry about those less fortunate than you But DO NOT worry about 2012 being the end of the world.

PS: If you feel the need to post a question about 2012, PLEASE DON’T Because frankly, I’m sick of seeing it, EVERYONE whose been here for a over a month is sick of seeing it I’m sure. There’s a question on every page almost. So instead of asking what’s already been repeatedly asked, PLEASE go back and LOOK.
