will the world end in 2012

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.

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.

I don’t know I keep hearing about this but, in the pass people have said the world was ending and noting.

what does kong have to say?

No it won’t.

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.

yeah they uh naturally follow each other don’t they?

where did you find this?

Of course it won’t.

If McCain rigs his way into office, I think the end is more likely.

If McCain becomes president I’ll be surprised if it takes that long.

Yeah right on unproductive!

I live in Arozona and ya if that guy made it to ofice it all over

Interpretations of the Christian Bible reveal that the date for Armageddon, the final battle between Good an Evil, has been set down for 2012

Poor interpretations. It does not give a date.

When these guys interpreting the bible as saying the world will end in year 2k, then 2001, now it’s 2012 are proved wrong, I wonder if they ever wonder if maybe that’s not the only misinterpration they’ve made… or just shrug and push the date back afew years.

I THINK THE WORLD WILL NOT END UNTIL 2020 EVEN IF IT DOES IT’S GONNA SUCK LIKE CRAP I MEAN I HAVE DONE NOTHING WITH MY LIFE ALL I HAVE DONE WAS WAISTE TIME I MEAN THE WORLD COULD END AT ANY TIME AND ALL I HAVE DONE WAS NOTHING SO I HAVE WASITED MY LIFE DOING CRAP THAT I THOUGHT WAS FUN WOULD IT BE FUN IF YOU MAKE VIDS ON YOUTUBE LIKE BLOWING UP YOUR LITTLE BROTHERS TOYS WITH FIRECRACKERS TO ME IT WAS FUNNY THEN I THOUGHT HEY WHAT HAVE I BEEN DOING WITH MY LIFE SO THEN ON I KNOW NOW NOT TO WAISTE TIME.

Good to know.

Actually the world will end in 2038

Good god there’s going to be a repeat of all the carnage that took place on Y2K!! D:

oh wait

2038, well thats to bad, actually it won’t happen.

ya mean im only gonna last till 15 yrs old?

Y2k would have been serious if over the previous few years a lot of time and money hadn’t been spent preparing for it unpro.

Okay, so we spend some time preparing for 2038 as well.

Unless some computery types want to explain why this is more difficult to fix than Y2K?

y not the world just use the atom smasher for some other purpose of defense with a few modifications we can turn our faith to our odds

uh if you’re asking why we don’t use the large hadron collider as a weapon, it’s because it cost several billion dollars to build and basically just flings atoms around a magnetised tube. So unless you can persuade your target to get in the tube and stand really still while you calibrate it, it’s not going to be much use.

Y2K was a problem because some programs were written with the assumption that the first two digits of the year will always be 19.

2038 will be a problem because every single program ever written on a 32 bit platform makes the assumption that time can be expressed in a time_t (which is a signed 32-bit integer)

It’s likely that we’ll all be using (at least) 64-bit computers by then, but there’ll always be legacy boxes nobody remembers any more sitting around in some company’s basement, doing something vital.

seriously, anyone who thinks the world will end when some stupid calendar runs out is stupid. what happens when the calendar runs out huh? WE GO OUT AND BUY A NEW ONE. whats it supposed to do? “oh, i’m the freakin mayan calendar, when i run out, i’m gonna shoot this giant laser”. GET IT STRAIGHT PEOPLE. the world isn’t gonna end until the sun explodes, engulfing the earth in a giant fireball, and burning it, and everything on it. which is umm, let me see. aha, MILLIONS OF YEARS!!!

the world isn’t gonna end until the sun explodes, engulfing the earth in a giant fireball, and burning it, and everything on it. which is umm, let me see. aha, MILLIONS OF YEARS!!!

Well I doubt we’ll last that long, we’re seriously unstable as species go.

And what if mayans somehow discovered that will happen in 2012?

But seriously, i can’t believe that. the 6 is thw worst for me. The Phsysicist have numbers that shows that something will happen in 2012? i’m not a child to believe in that without material.

but bugamn the physicists have proved it!

using science!

Oh, sorry, I didn’t notice that :P
