Hey guys, (and gals) Im a fairly quiet ATS reader and have only posted about 3 Anon things here, things I feel compelled enough to feel like I should
put my two cents in. Regardless I'll do a small part to address what has been talked about here.
First off, one of the best articles covering most of the subject can be found here
imo
viewzone.com... and dont forget to read part 2
viewzone.com...
Very interesting and fairly objectively and scientificaly based information there.
If you didnt RTFA (slashdot code for read the f*****g article),
basically what it says is that it is very likely that this passage through the intersection in the galaxy will put an gravitational disturbance
affecting the sun, possibly enough to make some sort of gamma ray bursts or something to that effect (disclaimer, Im not very smart in the sciences
and I also dont know effect from affect so no grammar nazi's please =)
One thing not mentioned there but that I think is another possiblity is that instead of above scenario, is a magnetic polar shift. If you do some
simple google searches, youll find widely varying stuff about it. I am not a big fan of the nibiru theory, but as referenced in the above articles,
there are other major variables regarding the magnetic fields of earth and of the solar system and galaxy.
I think the flaw in logic of the OP is that he/she disagrees with the nibiru theory, but uses a straw man argument that concludes no nibiru=no 2012
"doomsday" Just because nibiru does or does not exist does not exclude a number of other theories. Im talking about two major ones, gravitational
and sun disturbances. I have only heard briefly of some of the others have mentioned here (dark rift theory)
One quote from the article that I found rather interesting follows...
"By some amazing coincidence, not only will we be intersecting with the Galactic Equator, but we will be doing this precisely aligned with the center
of the Galaxy where there is maximum mass! More mass means more gravity. More gravity means more influence from those barycenters in our Sun. That
means exponential increases in solar disruptions -- all coinciding on the same day!"
This in itself should be rather easy to scientifically prove/disprove right?
And that brings me to one of my final points, which is that we as humans have a very limited understanding of many of the principles were discussing
here, gravitational effects, magnetic fields and how they effect earth, gamma ray bursts, ect, are extremely theoretical and are hard to test, with
the exception of the famous Einstein "thought experiment"
I could be wrong about what Im about to say, but youll understand my meaning,
Until gallileo we didnt have gravity as even a thought,
Until newton we didnt have gravitational pull theory
which was later refined by einstein
Which many now believe (since it conflicts with quantum mechanics) can be replaced by string theory!
And thats just a bit a bout gravity! not even getting into our lack of understanding about magnetic fields!
We know so little about this world, that it is entirely possible, if not likely, that some unknown occurrence may happen in 2012.
It may be a sudden occurence, or it could be a process that takes place over a couple weeks or even years, no one really knows.
One thing I find extremely interesting, from an objective perspective, is how much our ancestral heritage knew about the cosmic mysteries. This alone
to me points to some very fascinating thoughts. How did they know some of these things, able to predict time to such a precise calendar? How did they
test or measure these ideas? ect, ( it boggles the mind i know)
BUT, even if all of the evidences that ancient cultures knew something a bit more than we thought, so saying that ALL of the mayan, aztec, chinese,
aboriginal, native american ect predictions are false, there is still a scientifically PROBABLE event of UNKNOWN magnitude and duration.
Darkside out.
