2012 is real.
however, the assumed thing that'll happen in December 21, 2012 (according to a lot of people who want attention and/or have nothing better to do with their lives) is fake. no evidence at all.
Look, there have been so many doomsday predictions in history that it's just pathetic. i mean, people still get scared by stuff that has no backing. None of the doomsday predictions came true.
None of them.

They have found Christian documents saying the world will end in like 2069, but thats just more religion.

i guess religious debates on a hentai forum can be considered "serious discussion."
I'd have voted "hell no" but poll ended...
I am not interested in the whole chistianity and bible fables, but someone that just pops out of nowhere to "save" us for "sins" don't sound appealing...

There is no human who can predict when will the world's going to end. We have a lot of religions all over the world, so why we have to take Mayan seriously ?
That's not making sense at all.

The Mayans were the smartest group of people ever; that and they have "predicted" many events before that happened exactly according to their calender, so many people believe the almighty giant rock.

The Mayan calendar doesn't say that. I feel like someone should repeat that every few pages or so, just so that there's a better chance people might see it. But probably not.

I thought it already ended 11 year ago. But really it's been predicted so many times and we are still here so why would anyone believe a culture that that a white man was there god.

I mean the end of the world? Unlikely, but at least there are some scientific predictions of MASSIVE seismic activity. In 2009 I heard of a conference in Washington DC that predicted a huge move in the tectonic plates of the Atlantic for 2011, that's pretty close to 2012 imo. And given recent events, and that the fact that those plates are always moving, we could see a pretty big disaster sometime in the near future. I'm from Puerto Rico, so I'm screwed if it does happen lol.
As Plato would say "The body is merely an obstacle of your thoughts, once you die your thoughts will roam free of burden and then you will find true happiness." Something to look forward to I suppose. (btw he isn't talking about suicide, he's saying theres an order to things, and paths one must take, and you must take those paths thinking philosophically so the day you reach the end of the road, you will have led a just/happy life, losing the only remaining obstacle, your physical body, thus being freed from the burden of having to care for it, giving way to a philosophical existence) haha Sorry for the rant.

Oh, sorry for my inaccuracy

The world shall not end. It is merely another Y2K ploy to lead the frightened to spend away their life savings on supplies for something that won't happen. This makes big corporations like Wal-mart even wealthier. Remember, if those that sold nuclear fall out shelters in the 50's still have great wealth today.

Is 2012 real? Sure.
End of the world? Maybe.
When all is said and done, it's really a matter of context. If the polar caps switched magnetic field polarity in 2012, would the prediction be right? It would cause a lot of mayhem to be sure. But is it right? Technically the old world is forever gone if that occurs.
What if on 2012 nothing happens to most folks, but a certain blood type is struck with an affliction? The human gene pool could forever be changed. Is that what they meant? Does that count? In fact, what if in 2012 all Mayan sites crumble. It's officially the end of their world then isn't it?
Heck, if a meteor comes and kills you, and only you, that's the end of the world as you know it right?
So what actually counts as fulfillment of this prediction? Even what we have can not be proven as the intent of the mayan who created said prediction. They are not around to verify that we have it right, and it's been passed down, passed around, and subjected to many lines of theory and thought in general. We may have lost the true purpose of it years ago, be none the wiser, and be totally wrong.
Still assuming we narrow it down to what most think of when they reflect on this prediction, I'd say it's prolly not gonna happen. But even that is based on a percentage of what has occurred before and a basis of beliefs. There is no real reason why this could not have different outcome. Just because the mayans couldn't stop their own fall doesn't mean they couldn't know of something to come. Knowing something will occur doesn't always mean you can stop it after all.
So I guess in the end, I like to regard it as possible, and treat it as though it very well may happen. I mean, in all truth, even if the end of the world does not actually occur on the date in question, there is no doubt it and some of it's surrounding dates will be significant to many people. The energy and focus on that alone is bound to make it unique. And if nothing at all happens, what have I really lost?

I don't know man.Most of the event's stated are happing.Like they said one day the oceans will be black.and the oil spill and japans radioactive wastes falling in the ocean could have something to do with it? God know's what is in store for us.

2012 the end of the world? More over a transition. Political shifts countries changing, trying to caver out a better future for themselves. (Examples Egypt, Libya, and the Ivory Coast)Other possibilities such as another world war within this year? Plausible tension within the Pacific region are rising so war in that region is possible.(China bolstering there forces by increasing military budget) U.S. and China are the pillars of the U.N.,if these two go to war it will be a major problem, to both the world and the U.N. Economies will collapse, massive food storage,and the list can go on from there.

Nothing is going to happen in 2012. Nothing. Its going to be a bigger bust than Y2K. The world isn't going to an end anytime soon.

I think we should all just sit down and have a glass of wine. n_n Let 2012 come when 2012. comes :)

It is a bunch of bull shit! They are trying to scare us like Y2K and in the 1950s or 60s belief of aliens were going to come down and blow up earth. It is always something

It is simply not going to happen. That's the end of it. How many "the ending of mankind" are there going to be? I pity those people who are actually serious about 2012 though. However, if shits going down in 2012... I pray it would be a zombie apocalypse.

The next solar high is predicted to be the spring of 2013, and we can expect average solar activity compared to previous solar activity highs. As always, electrical devices, satellites, power stations and wireless communications will be affected by the solar high.
Planet Nibiru was originally said to hit Earth in 2003, but after nothing happened, the date was moved to December 21st, 2012 in accordance to the end of one of the Mayan's long count cycles at the Winter Solstice in 2012. If planet Nibiru were indeed going to hit Earth in 2012, it would be extremely visible in the night sky and astronomers would have been tracking it's path for decades, the planet is not invisible, it simply does not exist.
A planetary alignment is not due for another few decades, there is no possibility of Earth crossing the Galactic Plane in 2012. Even if it did, the effects on Earth would be nominal.
A reversal in Earth's rotation is impossible. Magnetic reversals take place about 350,000 - 400,000 years on average and we are not due for a reversal for at least another few millenia.
Nasa tracks all Near Earth Objects. 433 Eros, the second-largest Near Earth Object on record (size 13×13×33 km) will pass Earth by at a distance of 0.1790 astronomical units (26,778,019 km; 16,639,090 mi) on January 31st.
It has been theorized by some that when the Sun aligns with the super massive black hole in 2012 the forces of the galactic core will have an extreme effect on the suns solar flare activity, however; this is completely impossible, Sagittarius A would have to be at least 25,000 light years closer to have any effect on the Sun's solar activity. Yes, the Sun does align with the galactic core, however; this is an annual event and has not done anything yet, so...
The Earth has been around and kicking for the past 4 billion years, and all of the events would have to have occurred before and within shorter time periods than the last major extinction, which was 65 million years ago.
