Critically examining the "End of the World"
December 21,2012 ????? Doomsday caused by planetary alignment and polar shift ?
The following is a question being asked on Yahoo Answers. Both the questions and answers given do not reflect the view of our website.
Question:
It’s said on December 21,2012 all the planets and the sun will align with the dark rift (center of Milky Way) which has a black hole. This alignment is said to cause polar shift (Earth Crust Displacement) causing worldwide disaster ? Were the Mayans right after all . Did they really warn us of our own fate ?

Such an alignment will not happen. If it did happen, nothing bad would happen as a result. The Mayans did not predict the end of the world in 2012. There calendar will just start over in 2012. Ask any Mayan descendant.

Im just going to copy and paste my answer from the last question i answered about this….is really annoying…..
Question: What is the big deal about 2012?
Answer:
people are scared that the world is going to end.
They believe the Mayan predicted the End of the world for dec 21, 2012. But they don’t know that the Calendar is just one of few the Mayan had. and that these calendars are just like any calendar they have on the kitchen, its a cycle. Just because it ends on that day doesn’t mean the world has to as well.
plus, they think because the sun and the earth alignment with the center of the galaxy, that the poles are going to shift and created a big disaster, but what they don’t know is that this alignment happens every year. Also, they don’t know that poles shift happen every few hundreds thousands of years, and that they are not really a threat to humanity, the cant cause any damage.
And lastly, they probably saw the previews of the movie 2012, or the movie, and got super scared about it without knowing that its all a hoax and Hollywood trying to make some money out of us.
Also some people believe in an imaginary planet called nibiru or something like that…that supposedly is going to hit Earth in 2012, but this planet is all fiction, does not exist.

According to scientist around 2012 there is gonna be a solar storm which will wipe all the communication sources like internet, radia, etc so it ain’t going to be a planetary disaster like you are mentioning.

1. There are _no_ planetary alignments in 2012. I know because I’ve checked for them myself in Starry Night software.
2. There is no “dark rift” at the centre of the Milky Way. There is a black hole, but it has existed for billions of years and is too far away to have any effect on Earth. The Sun does not align with this, but is 6 degrees off, and does this _every_ year, not just in 2012. Again, see Starry Night.
3. Polar shifts take 500 years, not one year, and there is absolutely no evidence that one is about to happen.
4. The current cycle of the Mayan calendar ends on 2012 December 21, but they made _no_ prophesies of what would happen then. Presumably, if they were still around, they’d just start a new cycle. That’s the way _all_ calendars work.
The world has existed for over four billion years. Is it reasonable to expect that it will come to an end in less than four years? And all because of a Mayan calendar? Use some common sense.
The most interesting astronomical events in 2012 will be an annular eclipse of the Sun on 2012 May 20, a total eclipse of the Sun on 2012 Nov 13, and a transit of the planet Venus across the face of the Sun on 2012 Jun 06.
Scientists don’t expect anything out of the ordinary to happen in the year 2012, or specifically on the date December 21, except for the solstice, which happens every year.
None of the “predicted” happenings for 2012 hold up under close scrutiny. “Planet X” and “Nibiru” simply don’t exist. The Mayan calendar ends a cycle, but there were no predictions of the end of the world. The Sun doesn’t line up with the galactic centre; it’s 6 degrees off. No asteroids or comets are actually predicted to hit Earth.
All of this stuff was put together by crackpots in order to promote their books and TV shows, and shamelessly promoted by the History Channel. Don’t take any of it seriously!
The best way is to _inform yourself_ about 2012 by reading factual sites about it, rather than sites that are trying to sell you something. Here are a few:

Go look up prediction for world endings, and see how many of them came true. You don’t hear a lot from them after they were wrong.

No, it will not be. NASA even released that it wouldn’t be.
If that doesn’t do it for you, then here:
As a descendant of the Mayans myself, I can tell you without a shadow of a doubt that my ancestors never predicted the end of the world.
You know how our calendar has cycles beginning in January and ending in December? That’s how the Mayan calendar works as well. 2012 is just the end of 1 cycle and the beginning of the next.
In addition, the center of the galaxy, the sun, and Earth are aligned EVERY year on the Winter Solstice!

I don’t the world going to end in 2012 because the earth and sun aligment every year on december 21.
