2012 The End or Myth?

Various ideas have been advanced concerning a possible end of the world in 2012. One idea involves a geomagnetic reversal (often incorrectly referred to as a polar shift by proponents of this hypothesis), which could be triggered by a massive solar flare, one with energy equal to 100 million atomic bombs. This is supported by evidence that the Earth's magnetic field is weakening, which indicates an impending reversal of the north and south magnetic poles. Scientists believe the Earth is overdue for a geomagnetic reversal, and has been for a long time, even since the time of the Mayans, because the last reversal was 780,000 years ago. Critics, however, claim geomagnetic reversals take up to 5,000 years to complete, and do not start on any particular date. Also, while NASA expects a particularly strong solar maximum sometime between 2010 and 2012, there is no scientific evidence linking a solar maximum to a geomagnetic reversal. A solar maximum would be mostly notable for its effects on satellite and cellular phone communications.

Another apocalyptic idea circulating about 2012, which has existed in various forms since 1995 and has changed dates at least twice since then, is that a large planet, called Nibiru, will collide with or pass by Earth in that year. This idea has been ridiculed by astronomers, who point out that such an object so close to Earth would be visible to anyone looking up at the night sky.

Well if it is true, we all die and there's nothing we can do about it. If it isn't, then we live. Not much else to think about.

I am really curious to see, as well with all my friends will it happen.

Ofc we would like it to happen, any of the possibilities are fine =P
Mostly i believe the Mayan calendar and Nibiru thing.

I've watched kinda lot of those vids on youtube and websites too

For the Doomsday 2012 FTW ^_^

True, however there are other theories, my personal one is that we will live, however, the our way of life will change in some way or another...who knows maby there will be a viral ourbreak that makes bunnies grow 10 feet tall and destroy anything in its path....wait, that means we'll die....ahh man

Nuff fucking said.

From this thread.

I too believe it's bullshit. Just like many other myths.

edit: Rbz, you goddamn ninja.

I fucking love Penn and Teller<3.
That episode wasn't one of my favorites though.

Anyway. I say it's a myth. There's an end of the world story almost every year. I believe the next one is supposed to be at 2036? An asteroid is supposed to hit us. There's a new one every few years. You'll all die eventually, I don't know why so many people care when [if] it happens. Just enjoy shit now, stop worrying if 2012+ is real or not.

I'll rep you for that later, best thing i've seen all day.

I swear we had a thread about this before....maybe in SD? Anyway it's obviously bs because nobody was going on about it before the year 2000 which was then widely accepted as the idiots-think-the-world-is-going-to-end-but-everyone-with-a-brain-knows-better time. Not that being widely accepted before then would have made it true either. It just would have meant more people are incredibly dumb.

Just because this panic is more widespread than the y2k crap doesnt mean its going to happen, it just means its even more ridiculous.


I call shenanigans.

NOOO!!!! thats when i GRADUATE!!!

I watched all that just for the guy to say "thats a damn shame"?

Yeh it is... I wont be able to see this girl i wanted to see cry during graduation. (long story)

Decmber 20th 2012 giant orgy at my house everyone invited

Whats even better is that you know there will be a lot of people actually doing just that.

I cant wait to laugh in the faces of all the 2012 conspirators.

That's not true. People have been going about this for a long time. A lot of the bullshit started turning up in the 70s. Of course there are stupid fucking people that believe in this shit because there are a lot of people who are obsessed with the world ending. The only thing I know is that its a major date in the Mayan calendar, but I also know that there's also some inscriptions about future dates as late as 4772.

I really doubt that anything will actually happen but if it does it's not like we can do anything about it.

Just another doom-date. At least it'll be a funny day.

Yeah, I can't wait to see what people will end up doing on the day.

I can't wait for someone to say that they truly believe it in this thread. If they are still active at that time, on december 22, 2012, I will personally send them a PM mocking the shit out of them.
