Isn't something supposed to happen like, all planets alignment and causing some gravitational flux etc etc, mess with earth gravity blah blah continental shift/world ending/volcano's/ etc etc

The five classic planets will be predicted as 'aligned' (Mars will be on one side of the "alignment", and Jupiter on the other, with Mercury, Venus, and Saturn in between) in December of 2012. By 'aligned', they will be within 135 degrees of each other. And no, this won't have any real effect on Earth. Even if all the planets were within alignment to 10 degrees, the predicted change on Earth would be tides 1.5" greater than normal. The odds of all planets aligning in that band are literally astronomical - you will not ever see it in your lifetime. In other arenas, the next solar zenith will be in late 2011 to early 2012... and scientists atm are not predicted any record breaking measurements for it.

The Mayan thing stemmies mostly from this:

As avid stargazers, the ancient Maya were keen to an astrological cycle we call the Precession of the Equinoxes. This is close to a 26,000 year cycle in which Earth transits through each of the 12 signs of the zodiac for about 2152 years each. Each of these astrological ages represents one month of the grand, Cosmic Year. Sumerians, Tibetans, Egyptians, Cherokees, Hopi, and Mayans refer to this same 26,000 year cycle in their mystical belief systems and each have developed calendars based on this great cycle.

The Maya messengers, reknowned for their architectural, artistic, mathematical and scientific achievements, left a calling card as a series of super-human sized stone monuments and pyramids with precise calendrical computations. Planted with great intention, these dates were left to ensure that future generations would be alerted to the coming end point of this great 26,000 year cycle. A cycle which corresponds also to a 26,000 year relationship of our Sun orbiting Alcyone, the central star of the 7 Sisters Pleiades constellation. According to the Maya, the "future" which lies beyond this end date is literally "a new world age" - "a new creation."

The 26,000 year cycle of the Homo Sapien's evolution and development is mirrored by the 260-day cycle of human gestation. Collective humanity is right now maturing into the being we have long been encoded to be. As with any labor, it is not the mother, or the baby, who is in charge - it is the primal process of Birth itself unfolding its own destiny.

Thus the December 21, 2012 AD is not the day where all of the sudden a light switch will flip on and everything will change, rather, we are NOW in the process of this transition from one World Age to the next. The changes are underway and will continue steadily accelerating as we head towards the culminating date!



The ancient Maya understood this 26,000 year cycle to be specifically composed of 5 lesser cycles, each 5,125 years each. Each of these 5 cycles was considered its own World Age or Creation Cycle. As depicted on the familiar, circular MesoAmerican Sun Stone, (often called the Aztec Calendar) each Creation Cycle is said to have been ruled and destroyed by one of 5 elements. Specifically, 4 Jaguar, 4 Wind, 4 Rain, 4 Water.

Our present great cycle (3113 B.C. - 2012 A.D.) is called the Age of the Fifth Sun. This time period is ruled by 4 Earth. This fifth age is the synthesis of the previous four. 4 Earth (called Caban in the Maya language and Ollin in Aztec) has several meanings, including: movement, shift, evolution, earthquake, navigation, synchronicity, clue tracking, turtle. In the Maya language, the word "ol" of ollin means consciousness.

In Mayan calendrics, the initial date that Earth entered the Fifth World was August 13, 3113 BC, written in Mayan long count notation as 13.0.0.0.0. Every day from that point was reckoned by the number of days passed since the event of this cosmic beginning point.

TL;DR

If you want to believe in the end of the world, far be it for me to convince you otherwise. But you should believe that it will be at the hands of humans killing other humans, not some great astronomical event that does the end of the world for us at the flick of a switch based on some date, movement, etc. Humans always look for the easy way out... even in our apocalypses. Sad.

I know it's fake, but a lot of those ideas come from real sources. People have written books about planet x and 2012. People really believe that the world will end in 3 years. I've had debates with a few of them and it's just dumbfounding how ignorant they can be.

Exactly. Arm chair astrophysicist make me sick.

Aren't you still a college student, which would make you an "armchair astrophysicist"? Don't get me wrong, I'm a 3rd year physics major and I hate the nibiru kooks too, but do you really have the credentials to call yourself a physicist yet?

Wrong on all accounts, but thanks for trying to call me out.

I am a grad student in the astrophysics department if that is what you are wondering. This would be my third piece of paper since you are curious as to my credentials. I would be happy to have a one on one discussion regarding this if you feel you are up to it or seems to doubt me. I am a alumni of the University of South Carolina, class of 2000 and an alumni of Saint Louis University in 2004. and am currently pursuing my l33t degree in Astrophysics.

I would offer the same to your cohort but I dont even need to bother, he's a joke enough as is.

Damn skippy.

[Sirrus_Asura]

Damn skippy.

Nigga knows whats up.

It's the dawning of the age of Aquarius!

Tell me how that pie in your face tastes tomorrow morning will ya? lol

USC? No shit eh? Small world.

Edit: lol@Cohort. That's some menacing sounding shit right there.

[Mizango]

Yeah USC was my shit. I lived in Columbia for a little while after graduating, still have family there.

Kicks ass.
