WASHINGTON — The world is not coming to an end on December 21, 2012, the US space agency insisted Monday in a rare campaign to dispel widespread rumors fueled by the Internet and a new Hollywood movie.

The latest big screen offering from Sony Picture, "2012," arrives in theaters on Friday, with a 200-million-dollar production about the end of the world supposedly based on myths backed by the Mayan calendar.

The doomsday scenario revolves around claims that the end of time will come as an obscure Planet X -- or Nibiru -- heads toward or collides with Earth.

The mysterious planet was supposedly discovered by the Sumerians, according to claims by pseudo-scientists, paranormal activity enthusiasts and Internet theorists.

Some websites accuse NASA of concealing the truth on the wayward planet's existence, but the US space agency denounced such stories as an "Internet hoax."



Wow, now I'm really scared. NASA doesn't have the greatest record in telling the truth. In fact most government and quasi government agencies play fast and loose with the truth when they feel it is in their best interest.

Bravo NASA! At the same time, you have to realize that if Hollywood makes a movie about a subject, then that subject loses some credibility. I seriously doubt anything will happen in 2012, because the time between now and then, is close. To close for a number of things to happen. Though anything can happy at any time. I think that one theory about 2012, Niribu for example has died out in the past year.

Why? Probably because time is running out. I'm sure, as many have stated that the next big date will be 2020.

Well, it could be that Planet-X is real, and they dont know exactly what effect it will have, but I have a feeling they have a pretty good idea. The fact of the matter is that NASA knows something, whatever that something may be.

Yes, but how often are people in a panic regarding the incorrect way a space ship is presented in space.

and yes . . .not so much a coincidence, but all language somes from somewhere!

Everything, and i mean EVERYTHING about 2012 being doomsyear is just hearsay ,,, if ANYONE can give me 100% factual proof, ill take what i say back... fact is though noone can because noone knows if the world will end!

Hey there, being on mobile I cant do much but give my 2c. I personally would love for something to go down come 2012. Be it positive or negative it would surely be something albeit exciting to experience in this life. If nothing happens, fine. One thing that should be becoming clearer is that Nibiru, unless it comes hurtling in near light speed near 2012 and slows to a sudden crawl, has been proved a hoax. Help me out here peeps of the Astronomical persuasion. I'm sure that from all the observatories and amateur astronomers mapped the world round, an anomaly such as this rogue planet would have been found in our backyard by now. On another note, the mayans are alive. Yes, for true homie. They may not inhabit their old cultural grounds but the mayan tongue is still around in a modern form, they have tribes that hold council with eachother on occasion. So boaby_phet, there are mayan's around if they wanted to 'keep their calendar going' but they do not need to do so. Their calendar was cyclical, meaning once ended it would start again. Starting a new age. We are nearing the end of the fourth age now, which some say might only end come 2150 using different calculations between mayan and gregorian calendars. They did however say that in the end of one out of five ages something catastrophic could happen(if memory serves me right). So maybe something happens, unfortunately for people with my mind set it will probably be nothing. I mostly hope for some crazy shift in consciousness, here's hoping! Maybe i'll start taking lotto too. The chances of achieving a positive result with either are probably equaly viable. (at this point my money's on winning the lotto) oo. I almost forgot, Buds84, dude, the Mayan's, a group of israelites? ?moses? Really? I cant access the link from a silly phone. Please, pretty please, put a quote or two of the most believable evidence for Mayans using hebrew and being of israeli descent. Wicked, hav a rad day dudes and dudettes have fun

Interesting, never thought about it being anything other than an extra-solar planet/body. If it is a metaphore then what is it? Comet,asteroid, the earth itself? A corrupt government/people? Hmm...
