Not one of the things people say will happen in 2012 is credible. Magnetic pole shifts, rotational shift of the earth, planetary realignment, Nibiru, brown dward, red dwarf, giant moon, asteroid...whatever...it's all total hogwash and only gullible people believe in it.

I challenge anyone to tell me what he/she thinks will happen, and I'll debunk it

Well he's actually quite wrong, the sun earth alignment actually happens twice a year. What is important is the alignment coinciding with solstice. This has been happening very closely for the last several years and will continue for some time but it does not happen every year on that date. The closest alignment was actually in 1998.

What happens on 2012 astronomically is very significant from the point of view of the maya, on that day the sun appears to cross the dark rift from one side to the other, it lines up almost perfectly with the length of day. Symbolizing rebirth.

I think he's been getting his information from the internet.

Why are people saying he looks like a Pimp? I think he just looks like a pretty cool guy. Is it because he's black?

Regardless, it doesn't matter what he looks like, it's his ideas that matter.

Attacking the speaker, his looks, dress, ethnicity, or pattern of speech are tactics used by people that have nothing of importance to say.

Having said that I do enjoy being targeted as a person that is dis-info officer from NASA or wherever. So don't hold back.

Didn't need OP or Tyson to tell me what was already obvious, but it's warm and invigorating with the company, nonetheless. Thanks, OP.

degrasse is a bastard under the payroll of the NWO or w.e you wanna call it..

A paid debunker working against us for the money.

Personally I am a believer and there is nothing anyone can say to make me believe otherwise (including Mr Tyson, however credible he might be). Likewise the skeptics will never be convinced until its too late.

If the day does pass by with no event then I will happily laugh at my own mistake with all the skeptics! At least then we'll only have the NWO to worry about

AMEN

This is the statement of a closed mind. Someone with an open mind would be looking for the evidence of to support the facts.

A skeptic doesn't accept ideas with proof or supporting evidence. Skeptics are convinced long before it is too late. They evaluate the evidence.

Mr Tyson is right regarding the internet myths but embarrasingly wrong on the astronomical side considering his profession.

The sun does not line up with the galactic centre on that day Dec 21st every year. The sun does indeed line up every year, as I said, twice a year if you think about it. It's not perfect, it's always off by a few degrees because of our position relative to the galactic equator but never on the same day.

I'm not a great astronomer at all but I know this much.

I'm thinking because this was informal, perhaps he thought it wouldn't be seen and he could spout any crapola he wanted to the unknowing. And then claim to empower them with false information.
