2012, Nibiru, the end of the world?

[Red Phoenix]

i say people need more creativity these days when it comes to scaring themselves pantless with made up stories.

so my spiced up version of the story goes like this.

2012, nibiru arrives and brings peace and knowledge to human kind.

but by 2013 humanity becomes so hedonistic and busy having sex orgies that they forget to do everything else and hence societies collapse and the human race becomes extinct like a a bunch over excited and overworked dead field mice.

now this version got much more umph to it hehe

Am so bored from this BS, would people be very disappointed if just nothing happens??

seriously we have deserved an armageddon already, didnt we? lets have some fun:D
I support fully waking up the human mankind

[Venom]

anyone wants to bet on that

You Just can't go against the Lunar Calendar when it comes to these things, If it's over it's over you just gotta accept that....Sooo what now? should I get a job or what?

This is all media hype and has no truth at all. The Lord Himself said that nobody will know when the end of the world will be:

Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.

But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up.

Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.

(Matthew 24:42-44)

I dont trust this, no one knows when is the Day of Judgement, it's a known fact in the Muslim world.

Okay I found some more convincing arguments from scientific perspectives, why 21st December 2012 might be indeed some kind of armageddon:



"....Solar flares are pieces of the sun which leap into space, discharging radiation and strong electrical currents that travel outward into space. They often fall back to the surface of the Sun. Sometimes, a very strong flare, called a Coronal Mass Ejection (CME), actually leaves the Sun and this deadly mass shoots out from the Sun towards the planets like a bullet. Usually they don't hit anything but occasionally they hit a planet like Earth. Most flares are small. But even a small flare can be dangerous. In 1989 a flare hit the North American continent and fried electric lines, zapped power grids in the US and Canada, and created large power backouts. Flares can also effect our moods and physical health. In theory, a large flare impacting the Earth could zap the ionosphere and irradiate the surface, killing every living organism that it touched.

Solar flares and sun spots have an average cycle of 11.120412 years (estimated from one "solar maximum" to the next). Right now, 2007, we are in a relatively quiet part of the cycle. The small discrepancy between this figure and the 11.861773 year period of Jupiter is close enough to be significant but suggests that something else is also influencing solar disturbances. Sure, it could be attributed to the various positions of the other less massive planets, but it could also be something even more significant -- the Milky Way.

Our solar system is part of a huge disc shaped collection of stars and planets called the Milky Way. We're located somewhere on the edge of the disc, slightly on top of the narrow disc. But very soon we'll be moving to the bottom of the disc. This change, from top to bottom, begins on December 21, 2012.

Yes, that's right. On the same day when our Sun is at it's solar maximum, something will happen that's never happened before -- the ecliptic of our solar system will intersect with the Glactic plane, called the "Galactic Equator" of the Milky Way! [see star chart]

If you imagine our solar system as a bunch of peas on a plate, with a huge meatball in the center, imagine the Milky Way as a city-size pizza with the "Guiness World Book Record Meatball" in its center!

Prior to December 2012 we have been drifting on the top of the pizza, never really able to see the bottom. The plate and pizza are not parallel. They are moving at different angles. We've been drifting down, down, down... and on December 21st, 2012, we will be exactly level with the crust -- forming an "x" at the Galactic Equator where galactic gravity is the strongest. After 2012, if we are still here, we will be passing through the bottom zone, viewing the Milky Way pizza from the South.

Yes, there's even more!

By some amazing coincidence, not only will we be intersecting with the Galactic Equator, but we will be doing this precisely aligned with the center of the Galaxy where there is maximum mass! More mass means more gravity. More gravity means more influence from those barycenters in our Sun. That means exponential increases in solar disruptions -- all coinciding on the same day!

....It's also important to stress that December 21, 2012 is only the "solar maximum" but that the gravitational effects of the Galaxy have already started to assert their influence on the Sun. The drift towards alignment with the galactic equator is relatively slow and, in truth, has already started. But the precise culmination of this, plus the alignment of Jupiter and Saturn all make 12/21/12 an onimous date.

....

In the first quarter of 2001, the Sun switched magnetic poles. This occurs every eleven years. Prior to this the Sun's north magnetic pole was at the north rotational pole. Now the Sun's north magnetic pole is at its south pole. Since opposite poles attract, the magnetic poles of the Earth and Sun are now at their most stable.
Just about the time of 2012 Winter Solstice, the Sun's poles will switch back. During this switch there will be a tendency for the Sun's magnetic field to pull the Earth's field with it.

If the Earth's magnetic poles switch, this would put stress on the planet aggravating earthquakes and volcanos, not to mention destruction of the electrical power distribution grid. And, if the switch happens fast enough don't ever expect your computer to work again. But if you have old tube type equipment, keep it. It should survive just fine. It will work if you can find electricity."

This is all based on the Mayan dating system. All other theories, may they be scientific (biological, astronomical, etc.), theological, or supra-natural (prophets), are all adaptations of facts so that they match this same date.

For instance, astronomical explanations will tell you that a "comet might hit the earth"... Of course, that could happen at any given time, as every couple of years there is talk about this "comet that might hit the earth"! Same thing for disease. There are deadly diseases coming up every couple of years, so nothing specific here. And for theological and prophecies, they are all so vague, they are adapted to match any year!

Back to the Mayan calendar system. The Mayan calendar does not end in 2012! It's a cyclic system, just like our "hours system". It start by 0, ends with 24 which is back to 0...
