In the year 2012, If man is still alive?

[tupper65]

Did anybody catch the latest doomsday show that the History Channel ran? Apparantly according to Mayan Calendar, the medieval predictions of Merlin, the Book of Revelation and the Chinese oracle of the I Ching, the world is supposed to end on 12/12/12. So what is supposed to happen, meteor? plague? Cubs winning the World Series?
What?

[Furtherman]

I've actually read the date was to be around 12/21/12... the winter solstice... and various other dates in 2012. It's a date that has been around for a long time but thanks to the internet, the theories, websites and books about it has exploded in the last 10 years.

My personal favorite is that the sun will reach it's solar cycle peak and send out a solar storm of radiation that will knock out every electronic device on the planet and plunge us back into the stone age so to speak.

It happened before in 1859... and it shorted out telegraph wire across the U.S. and Europe. There are giant flares from the sun on numerous occasions over the years, but we're not in their path - most of the time - but it does happen. In 2012 the sun will be ending it's current 11 year solar cycle. The Mayans did predict this and they did know a hell of a lot about the stars... which you can conclude that they would have known a lot about OUR star.

Maybe our sun has completed another turn of the Milky Way. Maybe we're gonna come in contact with giant debris cloud and be pummeled with meteors. Maybe we'll be in the way of that huge solar flare.

Maybe the Mayans just ran out of rock to carve on.

i like this scenario!

[Freakshow]

Considering calendars are built on arbitrary starting point, I fail to see how some numeric coincidence is going foretell the end of the world.

But them i'm a pretty hardcore skeptic.

That's a century too soon!

I'm surprised that Nostradamus didn't ring in on this one

[Drunky McBetidont]

a couple years ago there was an episode of doctor who that had the doctor take rose 6 billion years into the future to watch the sun expand and swallow the earth. rose was concerned about the people left on earth as the sun began to expand and the doctor told her not to worry because there were no more humans on earth, had not been there in thousands of years. she frowned and asked him what finally took us all out, disease? war? giant asteroid? he responded on how ironic that humans loved constantly predicting their own eminent demise, yet 6 billion years from now we will have spread to every system of every galaxy in space. we never give ourselves the benefit of the doubt.

[Chigworthy]

Well, let me assure everyone that we will be fine. I time traveled through a tunnel under my sink and hung out with myself in 2013. Everything was the same. I was still playing World of Warcraft.

If that was the case, isnt everything still there to be put back up. We could start producing shit again pretty fast and all the infrustructure would still be laid out

But the circuits would be fried, useless. New ones would have to be created. But they're created electronically anyway - so we'd have to start from scratch.

[Aggie]

The Mayans don't know what you people are talking about...

http://apnews.myway.com/article/20091011/D9B8P09O0.html

Spooky, perhaps, but Bernal notes there are other inscriptions at Mayan sites for dates far beyond 2012 - including one that roughly translates into the year 4772.

And anyway, Mayas in the drought-stricken Yucatan peninsula have bigger worries than 2012.

"If I went to some Mayan-speaking communities and asked people what is going to happen in 2012, they wouldn't have any idea," said Jose Huchim, a Yucatan Mayan archaeologist. "That the world is going to end? They wouldn't believe you. We have real concerns these days, like rain."

The Mayan civilization, which reached its height from 300 A.D. to 900 A.D., had a talent for astronomy

Its Long Count calendar begins in 3,114 B.C., marking time in roughly 394-year periods known as Baktuns. Thirteen was a significant, sacred number for the Mayas, and the 13th Baktun ends around Dec. 21, 2012.

"It's a special anniversary of creation," said David Stuart, a specialist in Mayan epigraphy at the University of Texas at Austin. "The Maya never said the world is going to end, they never said anything bad would happen necessarily, they're just recording this future anniversary on Monument Six."

Can you imagine what would happen if suddenly you took away social networking and cell phones from teenagers, Dancing With The Stars and American Idol from baby boomers, Nascar and Football from Red Necks, BET NBA basketball and UPN from the blacks, Lifetime and Oprah from housewives, the Disney Channel and Hannah Montana from pedophiles and pornography and celebrity titty shots from 13 year-old boys?

Very soon, Iran will push its luck and Isreal will attack them. We will back Isreal. We will be in Afghanistan, and they will surround us. Isreal will nuke a Iranian nuclear facility and set up an oil embargo. Energy prices will soar. Russia will swoop into Iran and seize their oil facilities. This will all happen within the next three years.. This is what I predict. Convert your homes to gas while you can. It will spike too, but not as bad and not as for as long lived as this oil embargo will last.

Oh yeah, and there's this...

"Doomsday" comet to swing by Earth on Sunday

http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2011/10/14/scitech/main20120573.shtml

Comet Elenin (http://www.space.com/13045-comet-elenin-skywatching-curiosity-nasa.html) started breaking up in August after being blasted by a huge solar storm, and a close pass by the sun on Sept. 10 apparently finished it off, astronomers say. So what will cruise within 22 million miles (35.4 million kilometers) of our planet Sunday is likely to be a stream of debris rather than a completely intact comet. (http://www.space.com/13045-comet-elenin-skywatching-curiosity-nasa.html)

Or so they want you to believe while they build their bunkers deep undergorund and pile onto their spaceships destined for a new paradise planet.

The Mayans were too dumb to care about the length of the solar year. If they couldn't count it on their fingers and toes, fuck it.
