Im confused. After reading some of the posts.
Is there really disbelief on the alignment?
Can we at least establish what awesome sky charters
the Mayans were?

On Dec. 21st 2012 the sun will
rise and appear to align with the dark
rift in the center of the Milky Way Galaxy.
That's not hype.
That is happening.

Earthquakes end the world ? Nope.
But the alignment is absolutely legit.
We should be amazed at the accuracy of the Mayan
Calendar . Yes I know it was close in 2008. But I think for Central America
this is the closest.

The worst part, Phage, is that people think this Galactic plane is a thin line, that is represented by the "center" of the observed phenomenon. Perhaps, something that you should also correct in your "video".

Missing the point, that the light (or lack thereof) we see in the sky, is not a representation of the current instance of this plane.

Missing the point, that this plane is so thick, that we're already in it, and the very center of it is not a difference to any other parts of it. Even if we observe it, as a "line" like element, it isn't ...

And the reason for it all, is that everyone has grown up with the "mystery" theatre. Where the dynosaurs death are a mysteri, the building of the pyramids is a mysteri, etc. And the anicent blood-sucking mayans, knew more about the stars than we do.

Exactly between night and day. Exactly between one second and another. Exactly between the finest division you can imagine.

This Doesn't Exist.

Here, I'll prove it to you. Go outside and look up at the stars. In any direction you look there are stars. We are exactly in the middle of nothing.

And yet, if you consider that the Universe continues forever in all directions from where we are, then we are in fact in the middle of it all. In double fact everywhere is in the middle of it all.

Now retreat to your digital world where game programs, television and even the clock on the wall have a beginning and end.

Retrain your mind.

Seems to me that when we cross that galactic plane we may have problems with our current appliances or our basic way of producing/using power. It would seem to me that on the other side of this spiral wave things may be a little reversed. Not sure if that is going to happen but I am interested to see what will be happening. If something like what I am thinking of occurs, we may be out of power for a while. Hold on to a rope if you go outside for a while, gravity may be effected a little.

Now if you believe an old coot like me trying to imagine all possibilities that can occur, you are just as nuts. I often run these kinds of scenarios to try to figure out what I hear. The probability of what I said is very low but it is still possible as far as the research I have read shows. There seems to be no research available to me to prove it wrong, at least in the few thousand articles I have read on this subject. I have shuffled this theory to the side.

I have a feeling that the place we are passing through does have more meteors in it though. That is because the gravity may be more. It seems that there have been more meteors over the last five or so years than before. We started to enter this rift a while back, we probably will be through the worst part in a few years. The meteors we will be seeing from this cosmic dust will be mostly small, it sounds like a real interesting time coming up. More of those fluorescent clouds and natures free fireworks. Why did people start making fireworks a couple of thousand years ago? Probably from observing similar natural events like meteor showers. Monkey see, monkey do....trying to copy what naturally occurs and making it better has always been a trait of modern man. I'm not so sure it is a good trait but it is a trait.

Ok where does the OP say that this alignment is with the center of the
Universe? I haven't seen that stated once. I can't figure out what made everyone
so mad at the OP ?

A Galaxy is not a Universe.
Galaxies like ours have clearly defined centers whether the view for us is obstructed or not.
The center of ours is thought to have a Super Massive Black Hole. A circle, or a drain if that's better.
We are 2/3 out in the soap bubbles, spiraling around waiting to get sucked down
the "center" of the drain.

Just out of curiosity... What date should those images really represent... couldn't get even close to that on my version on Stellarium... thou I'm quite crappy with it..

Well, in 7 days we'll find out. I don't believe nor disbelieve the hype behind this date, but I do find the alignment at the very least to be worth paying attention to. People seem to either be on one side of the fence or the other.

Anyway, 1 week left.

another misconception

the time is from 21st to 23rd

not that i believe anything major will happen

but we must at least understand that a so called 'shift' in 'insert whatever you believe here' will occur over a 3 day period and not in one night ie '21st'
