Mayan Calendar 2012

[jtwhite]

What do you think about the Mayan December 21, 2012 predictions?

From my understanding, it doesn't mean an ending, it's a new beginning, or the calendar doesn't actually end?

I don't think scientists actually believe it because if the world is going to end so soon, what's the point in advancing science? What's the point of anything?

I refuse to trust a culture, that did a continual human sacrifices because they thought the sun would stop shinning... they were wrong with that idea and they are wrong with time stopping in 2012

There have been lots of rumors of a near earth asteroid event for years. Recently I have seen a lot of commercials on TV about a pending major solar event in 2012 advertising the web site http://TheIHC.com .

it a movie frogamus by sony but man those commercials are real like for a vault type ordeal, and their is going to be a near earth object which if it enters a very small window our gravity will either slow it down or speed it up but that not till about around 2027

Yeah, I saw one of those commercials earlier. I think all this is, is another Y2K problem where everybody freaked out and bought water and made shelters.

For my AP English Language and Composition class last year as my final paper, I wrote about the fourth dimension and how it can be used as a scientific explanation for religion, particularly Christianity. During my research, I found something incredibly intriguing.

By entering the fourth dimension, you become completely unaffected by the progression of time. You are able to control time on-demand, similar to how we are able to control our depth within our world on-demand by walking forward, backward, to the left, and to the right.

By ending the calendar in December of 2012, I question that the Mayans may have been implying that time no longer influences us after the specified date. Could we possibly become fourth-dimensional beings after the world "ends"? And if this is so, does the world ending simply mean that the world as we know it ends?

i think something will really happen, but i think it won't be anything like meteors hitting earth, great tsunami, etc. it's quite coincidential actually that many events will occur during that date:

- The Mesoamerican Long Count Calendar ends
- Winter Solstice
- Galactic Alignment,etc..

There's nothing wrong if we don't believe or not.. Let's hope nothing bad happens, but let's expect the worst.

those aren't coincidences. they based their calendar on astrological events, so it's no surprise it would end on the solistice. the galactic alignment happens every year on the winter solistice as well - it's nothing particularly special.

Well what if a meteor didn't hit the Earth, but hit the moon. The Earth would no longer be influenced by the moon's gravitational force... Which is very bad. Everything would probably flood. High tide would come miles into land.

Maybe the calendar ends because these things that are supposed to happen had never happened before and they may believe it would be so extreme and cause everything to end?
