Hi Nixie

Hi there,

I have been investigating and writing on 2012 for several years and will do my best to help out in this new 2012 Forum. There are precious few ‘experts’ in the 2012 field, and I will not claim to be one of them!

Over time I will throw plenty of links in.

1. Is there any actual proof by astro scientists that the GA is happening. I ask this because I have done research and I have not found much on it other then it is a theory.

If you have links, that would be great.

Bruce: There is much talk of a Galactic alignment, even a galactic eclipse (History Channel). My research reveals that both are inaccurate terms. What we have is in fact a Galactic conjunction, which was at nearest to recognizable centre during 1998-9. This has nothing to do with matching up with the Maya calendar as suggested by other here. We do have modern astronomers and a Gregorian calendar that they are well used to using!
The problem with ideas of a galactic centre is that we are talking about a very vague concept. The Galaxy has a centre of rotation, a centre of mass, and a central black-hole. These are not exactly the same thing. The centre of the galaxy is also a huge region of space and to say we align to it is rather vague as it’s a ‘bit’ like holding a pin head up to our own sun and saying that its aligned to the centre of our solar system. There is more to it than that but this gives an idea of the problems involved with calling it an alignment. The correct description is that during a 36 year window of time, centered at 1998, the winter solstice sun-rise is conjunct with the area we believe to be the centre of our galaxy.

Feel free to question more on this if required.

2. What forces cause this to happen. What is driving the solar system up and down through the Milky Way?

Now does it go from the very top to the very bottom? Or does it just flex from the alignment up or vice versa(I hope that makes sense)

Bruce: This is a misunderstanding by many people that we are talking about the solar system moving up and down through the galactic equator. That is a different process and we are millions of years from the next occurrence. What we are dealing with is the precession of the equinox, a 26,000 year cycle of the poles through the 12/13 star signs of the zodiac.

What makes this precession happen is the equatorial wobble. It is a slights anomaly in the axial spin of our planet. Google it for full details.

3. If this phenomenon occurs every 26,000 years, and it causes the world to go nutty, is there geological evidence of chaos every 26,000 years?

Humans have been on the Earth for millions of years. So obviously we have survived this a few times. I remember some geneticists saying that at one point, there was a bottleneck in human genetics. Meaning that there was a sudden decline in human population to only a small number. I don't know when this happened, but I am wondering if this happened after a GA?

That is kinda number 4.

Bruce: well the mid point of approx 13,000 years is when we get the phenomena known as the great cross, or the conjunction. So we need to look in divisions of around that length not the full 26,000 only. There is geological evidence of an event around 12,500 years ago. See the detailed research of researchers like Graham Hancock and Rand Flem-Ath amongst others. Numerous sunken ruins have been found worldwide that would last have been above water just prior to that time. Check out the Indian city recently discovered for a good example.

Humans have been around a long time for sure. Unfortunately human evidence in the period 26,000 years ago is very slim. We do know that population size globally has gone up and down radically in the ancient past. Until more evidence is available we have to make best guess or rely on our own intuition of data available.
