Hello, first time poster here. I have been posting over at Climate Patrol for some time now and I was doing some research on 2012 and this thread
popped up in Google so I thought I would post a comment on it.
Nobody can really say for sure how many will die in 2012 if any at all. The fact that the Mayan Calendar ends in December of 2012 has many people
spooked.
In order to find out what really happens we need hard evidence and facts and not a bunch of religious zealots predicting anything. So far the only
facts I can find is the Mayn Calendar does end. So what does that mean?
I have no idea. The only thing I can come up with in searching for 2012 events that could actually be a threat , is the sun is supposed to swap poles
in 2012. But is it really a threat?? Notice I said "could be".
It is my belief that our sun is the main source of energy in our solar system. I would have to say that is a fact although there are other sources of
energy such as the magma below our crust, and our own magnetic poles but I believe those are controlled by the suns gravity in various ways as well.
Even our heat generated by the core is somehow in sync with the suns gravity.
Now if (I'm not saying this will happen) the sun does change poles, what effect will that have on the universe. More importantly, what effect will it
have on our planet?
Our solar system sits inside a universe that is spinning around in space with a bunch of other universes. Maybe if a bunch of these universes all
lined up in a specific way it could have an effect on our universe, then down to our solar system. I'm trying to think of a much bigger picture
here.
Locally we could have wars, or a rogue comet or asteroid impact, or some other issue such as a super volcano blowing up (Yellowstone or Toba) and
while all are possible I don't really know if they are probable. War would be the most likely fought over oil but less likely than the sun effecting
us the most. With the recent inactivity of solar flares from our Sun, I'm looking outside of our planet for answers at this point.
We have less than 4 years to figure it out. Either it will be a y2k event where nothing happens, or something will happen and things will be
different.
The longer our sun sits quietly with no activity the more curious I am becomming. Should it swap poles and fire up a huge amount of activity (gamma,
solar, magnetic)...I fear it will have a large and lasting impact on earth. Volcanic eruptions, massive plate movement, huge tidal surges, you name
it.
Again I'm looking for factual stuff. Not some prohpets words with predictions, bible code, or somebodies superstitious beliefs. I want to get down to
the science of things.
The Mayans calendar ends in December of 2012 that is fact. They studied the sun and stars and their calendar is based on the Sun.
