Nothing will happen on 2012. When nothing happpens all the 2012ers will agree that there was a mistake and it was really -insert later date here-. Everyone remembers the crazy predictions for 2000 you know world will end jesus will return and computers will stop working. But if anything happens on 2012 ie earthquake,flood, war it will be seen as a "sign of the end". Think about it if you really thought the world would be ending in 3 years or if a doctor told you you only had 3 years left to live would you continue to work and go to school or try to enjoy the time you had left? Would you make long posts about how the world is ending in 2012 on ATS?
Im interested on what will happen on 2012 on ATS an entire portion of it will be empty and i wonder what all these people with all their 2012 avatars will do if nothing happens.

Naval thank you for ripping the 2012ers a new one.

that RFBurns guy, ignorant!

i dont care if i count my time with peas or with animals, if you say something is gunna happen on the year of the giant leapfrog and it already happened fourteen rotations around the sun before that on the year of the tiny leapfrog and its not supposed to happen again for say, like 26000 more rotations - well id say its safe to say youve miscalculated something. regardless of what calender or timekeeping device you use.

wake up burns! the only thing 2012 will be is the year that the gregorian calender turns 431...

Navalfc went to site Redupo link and they seem to think something will happen not that I believe all.
I used one of programs you gave me, still looking, but went to like 2023 could not find scorp where thought should be. This is why Mayan calander ends it will no longer work?

How about the Mayan calander ran out because there were no myans left to write it. Think about it no matter how far ahead they made a calander it would run out at some point. Mayber it like the odometer on your car once it reaches 99999999 the car does not blow up all the 9s become aligned then it starts over

This is like Y2K right?
Sounds like it.
Yeah, tell it to the Zuners.
The Mayan calender calender continues, only the Spanish have it.
It went back in a Spanish galleon and I would imagine is being sought
by many agents.

ED: 3 or 4 more years and this will be over. TYJ

I read that 2012 is the year our parent galaxy, the sagittarius dwarf galaxy joins with the milky way. Has anyone read about this also?

It smashed into it along time ago.

2012 would have been very important to the Mayans, because all of the celestial body will change the sky will be differnt from what has been for 26,000 years. This would have been very important to a people of sky worshippers like Mayan. Only thing is how the heck did they know this, I have hard time with the moon thing, and Milky Way candy bars I get that.

I have no doubt that bad things will happen in 2012, but it will happen regardless of supernatural or "other-worldly" means. These events will occur because people deem them to happen. The devout and easily deceived will undoubtedly decree that the world will end. However, tribulations in our world will occur because these people will cause them to occur, because they deem that they must.

I must say that I am dumbstruck how so many can "assume," an alignment with either the planets or galactic nucleus will "destroy us all." It is simply preposterous. I have heard plenty of unusual and unconventional theories, but this ranks well up there besides air is bad for you. Unless these people intend to rewrite the laws of physics, or create bubble universes of their own where certain laws of physics do not apply, no such thing will occur. Certainly our sun may or may not produce more CME's, however planets to not "confine," nor "reflect" such energetic releases "back at us." Certainly if we got hit by one with a high "X" rating, it woudl definitely cause problems, however these could happen at any time, and several already have.

Conversely, crossing the center of the galactic disk will bare no effect on our solar system (sol). Looking at Einstein's space-time model we see that as you move out from any given gravitational source, gravity exponentially decreases. This is why spacecraft can orbit relatively closely to earth rather then having to leave the solar system to do so. Gravity is in all actuality a very weak force. Bare in mind that gravity is also directional when associated with an object at distance. This "transition" would be unable to alter the sun's gravameteric-fusion balance, nor the molten mantle and/or core of earth. Simply put, the gravitational effect from Sagittarius A (Milky Way AGN) just barely possess enough gravity to keep us from flying off into deep space.

The theories describing a "bolt" of energy emanating from our Galaxy's AGN is ridiculous. If we were a satellite system well above the galactic plane (virtually perpendicular) we might then have to worry about galactic "jets" of X-Ray or Gamma radiation because of the AGN's field lines propelling quasar material into deep space (galaxy's version of a Gamma Ray Burst although still quite different). Astrophysicaly speaking many of the 2012 astrometry theories have "molded" the data to fit the theory, rather then the theory molded to the data. If anything is going to occur in 2012, is will be human caused, not supernatural in nature.
