7 reasons the world will end in 2012

[sciencedoor]

Scientific experts from around the world are genuinely predicting that five years from now, all life on Earth could well finish. Some are saying it'll be humans that set it off. Others believe that a natural phenomenon will be the cause. And the religious folks are saying it'll be God himself who presses the stop button...


1. Mayan Calendar

The first mob to predict 2012 as the end of the world were the Mayans, a bloodthirsty race that were good at two things:

Building highly accurate astrological equipment out of stone and
Sacrificing Virgins.

Thousands of years ago they managed to calculate the length of the lunar moon as 329.53020 days, only 34 seconds out. The Mayan calendar predicts that the Earth will end on December 21, 2012. Given that they were pretty close to the mark with the lunar cycle, it's likely they've got the end of the world right as well.

2. Sun Storms


Solar experts from around the world monitoring the sun have made a startling discovery: our sun is in a bit of strife. The energy output of the sun is, like most things in nature, cyclic, and it's supposed to be in the middle of a period of relative stability. However, recent solar storms have been bombarding the Earth with so much radiation energy, it's been knocking out power grids and destroying satellites. This activity is predicted to get worse, and calculations suggest it'll reach its deadly peak sometime in 2012

3. The Atom Smasher

Scientists in Europe have been building the world's largest particle accelerator. Basically its a 27km tunnel designed to smash atoms together to find out what makes the Universe tick. However, the mega-gadget has caused serious concern, with some scientists suggesting that it's properly even a bad idea to turn it on in the first place. They're predicting all manner of deadly results, including mini black holes. So when this machine is fired up for its first serious experiment in 2012, the world could be crushed into a super-dense blob the size of a basketball.

4. The Bible says...

If having scientists warning us about the end of the world isn't bad enough,religious folks are getting in on the act aswell. Interpretations of the Christian Bible reveal that the date for Armageddon, the final battle between Good an Evil, has been set down for 2012. The I Ching, also known as the Chinese book of Changes, says the same thing, as do various sections of the Hindu teachings.

5. Super Volcano


Yellowstone National Park in the United States is famous for its thermal springs and Old Faithful geyser. The reason for this is simple - it's sitting on top of the world's biggest volcano, and geological experts are beginning to get nervous sweats. The Yellowstone volcano has a pattern of erupting every 650,000 years or so, and we're many years overdue for an explosion that will fill the atmosphere with ash, blocking the sun and plunging the Earth into a frozen winter that could last up to 15,000 years. The pressure under the Yellowstone is building steadily, and geologists have set 2012 as a likely date for the big bang.

6. The Physicists

This one's case of bog-simple maths mathematics. Physicists at Berekely Uni have been crunching the numbers. and they've determined that the Earth is well overdue for a major catastrophic event. Even worse, they're claiming their calculations prove, that we're all going to die, very soon - while also saying their prediction comes with a certainty of 99 percent- and 2012 just happens to be the best guess as to when it occurs.

7. Slip-Slop-Slap-BANG!

We all know the Earth is surrounded by a magnetic field that sheilds us from most of the sun's radiation. What you might not know is that the magnetic poles we call north and south have a nasty habit of swapping places every 750,000 years or so - and right now we're about 30,000 years overdue. Scientists have noted that the poles are drifting apart roughly 20-30kms each year, much faster than ever before, which points to a pole-shift being right around the corner. While the pole shift is underway, the magnetic field is disrupted and will eventually disappear, sometimes for up to 100 years. The result is enough UV outdoors to crisp your skin in seconds, killing everything it touches.


And u what thoughts u have?
when the end of the world depending on yr believes?

sorry man but ur info r rong cz in the bibel it ritten iven the son of man(jesus ) dont know wen the end of the world is and pls if i'm rong give me in wich bible and i will read it by my self 10x for ur info freind .

[Gilgamesh]

Dude, when you put such an article(assuming it is not a joke) you gotta put the sources of your information so we can dig deeper into it...Anyways, every year a group of losers predict the world will end and it doesn't happen

[mr_j]

I think the end of the world will be after a nuclear war. and I also must agree withmoghwar in the bible it is mentionned that not even jesus knew when the end of the world will be. and these bible interpretations I think were the same that said the world will end in 2000 (which it didn't) since it didn't work they pushed the date 12 years I wish those people would consider the bible as a way of life instead of a math book. and if the mayans were right about the moon they don't have to be right about everything .

dudes come on the end of all living things will come sooner or later so why the fuss we are going to die any way so what difference does it make whether if in a volcano or sun storm or even a great white tissue :P

I stopped reading at this point: "The first mob to predict 2012 as the end of the world were the Mayans, a bloodthirsty race that were good at two things"

To call the mayan civilaztion a "mob", is utterly ridiculous, i just couldnt take the rest of the article seriously beyond this sentence.

I Think That The World'll End Starting A Nuclear War, If Not, It'll Start With The Global Warming Problem Which Is Very Near, Maybe 2012

[wewe]

my friend claims that he sees devil (shyatin) ( i'm not kidding) he said to me that satan told him that the world ends in 2016
i'm not kidding , really he told me that
for mew it's silly and i do'nt believe in such things , i do'nt care when the world ends , i just wanna live a happy life

[Justin]

who cares? Live ur each day happy , so what?? Let it end, let ppl appreaciate the meaning of life

If Not, It'll Start With The Global Warming Problem Which Is Very Near, Maybe 2012

Rayis,min chi 1 week..i watched a reportage on tv5 saying that there are n such thing as global warming(some specialized people were talking)they said that the earth will heal itself and what are we seeing today is due to the fact of the selfhealing of the earth But they said That it's still a theory

and like justin I DONT CARE live ur day like it's ur last

Regards!
