I read that one of the signs the world will end in 2012 is when the Cowboys win a Playoff game again.

Who is this Patrick Geryl fellow?

Question:
I’d just like to know how he was driven so…crazy. (For lack of a better word.) He’s so sure that his 2012 theories are correct, that they are “spectacular”. I’ve only recently heard his name (when the movie surfaced, go figure), I know it’s all bunk. He just seems like a curious person and I’d like a bit of background on him.

is this true about pole shift?

Question:
i doubt it kinda but any scientist out there know?

There are many signs that polar shifting is FACT. One test you can do at home!
get a compass and have a look.. have you ever wondered why there is magnetic north and true north? and why they are different? its because the magnetic poles are different to true north and the magnetic north changes several degrees every couple of 1000 years..

in ancient lava flows we can also see ions have been attracted to different directions where north once was.. aka polar shifting does and always has existed.. even the sun shifts poles every 10 years like clockwork..

there are many theories as to what will happen when it does shift (we are due to have it shift soon)

some theories suggest this is what caused the dinosours to die

it all comes down to how fast the poles shift.. if they shift slowly then we are in trouble.. if its quick then we should be ok :)

if its slow we open ourselves up to dangerous gamma rays from the sun infact we would pretty much fry..

Some Scientists believe we should see “Northern Lights” all around the planet and it appears to coinside with ice ages..

As for 2012 the date.. The mayan calendar has circled several times ALREADY the conspiracy theorists are cashing in on something many of them dont understand.. dont believe the hype

How true is this statement about 2012 predictions?

Question:
I saw this as an answer on a few questions. It’s from Wikipedia, and I know Wikipedia isn’t always the most reliable, so tell me what you think.

“Academic research does not indicate that the Maya attached any apocalyptic significance to the year 2012: the date for the end of their world lay unimaginable aeons of time in the future.
John Major Jenkins’s ‘Galactic alignment’ theory is based not only on a misleading astronomical claim, but in part on the same false calendrical premise.
As the Timewave Zero theory has never been published in a peer-reviewed journal and its sources and reasoning are primarily what would be considered numerological rather than mathematical, the theory has failed to gain any scientific credibility or much recognition by professional mathematicians and scientists.
Professional astronomers ridicule the Nibiru collision theory, which is based on claimed ‘channeling’ by extraterrestrials.[47][48]
More academic research is needed into the claimed Hopi prophecy: it does not appear to mention the year 2012.[49]
The Bible’s Book of Revelation, composed some 1900 years ago, did indeed offer a dramatic picture of the end of the world—but it also promised that it would happen ‘very soon’.[50] The Bible says nothing about 2012 or any similar date.
The prophecy of the Tiburtine Sybil, as reproduced in the 16th century, did indeed likewise present a dramatic picture of the apocalypse, but did not date it, least of all to 2012.[51]
While the quatrains of Nostradamus are clearly intended to be read in a pre-apocalyptic context, they do not specifically mention (or, consequently, date) the end of the world: their Preface states that they are valid until the year 3797.[52]
The so-called Lost Book of Nostradamus is a version of the anonymous Vaticinia de summis pontificibus — a book of prophetic papal emblems dating from centuries before his time – and does not mention the year 2012.
The Prophecies of Merlin were a fictional composition by the medieval Geoffrey of Monmouth,[53] amplified in 13th-century Venice, and did not mention the year 2012.[54]
The original 1641 edition of The Prophecies of Mother Shipton says nothing at all about doomsday or the end of the world or, consequently, any proposed date for either.[55]
The alarmist claims of imminent doom made by Sony Pictures in their fictional publicity for the forthcoming film 2012 are not supported by reputable independent academic research.”

With the whole 2012 thing looming, how come there is more hysteria about this than about stuff like Y2K?

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:
Well i’ve been searching up this 2012 Nostradamus stuff and i even saw that history channel documentary, how come there are more concerns, worries, and more verbal out put about this “doomsday” prediction as opposed to say Y2K? Could this prediction be true? Why and Why Not??
