To me nothing is going to happen just chill :)

[-Vivicidal-]

They'll all happen so the survivors will have to revert to a hunter/gatherer lifestyle for some reason.

[PENGUINwithM4A1]

I doubt anything will happen, yet i want to know how the magnetic poles of the earth are:

A) Going to change polarity casued by a black hole.

B) Magnetic polarity causing tectonics plates to create earthquakes.

Explain.

[.exo.]

these are funny :laugh:

There is lot of talk lately about December 21st, 2012. A lot of people believe that the world will end on this day (based on information that this day marks the end of the Mayan Calender).

Well, my calendar ends Dec 31, 2008. But you know why I don't worry? I can go to the store and buy another calendar, and that one will end Dec 31, 2009. :p Someone needs to send the Mayans to a Walmart

[fix-this!]

every time i look at the clock where ever i am i always see 11:11

:wacko:

[rage710]

I dont understand what the bug fuss is about ending the calender on a random date such as that. Think about it..Ok lets lay this out.

The Aztek's started around the 1370's and fell in the 1520's. Either way around it, thats a LOT of writing. Imagine drawing out a calender for 100 years, it would take a long time, and most of us would say F**k this, I know I would..

Man that would be the worst birthday ever :(

It's my birthday so I'll be drunk and not worrying about it

Yeah, but how many can say they had a birthday and a deathday on 1 day? hehe

Just my 2.5 cents, I think it'll be just another day, there are so many different cultures that have their own predictions, rules, religions that any of those could also affect any predictions they make. Cultural beliefs skew common knowledge and understanding, which is why Christians have their own predictions, muslims, mayans, egyptians, incans, they have all had different takes on how the world will end. Putting it on a calendar isn't going to help that.

There's going to be a meteor shower that day and some Kryptonians will come and reclaim the planet! Mulder was half-right ;)

This has to be one of the stupidest things I have read on Neowin.

You haven't been here that long, just give it time.

[Lasker]

The world will end when u die, there is not ****ing end of the world, is just stupidity from religious believes.

[y_notm]

umm, this is a valid thing to look into everyone.

There are the mayans, ancient chinese, and many other cultures who have their calendars end at 2012, dec 21st.

Let me let you know about our current situation, and what is supposed to happen in the next 5 years....

About 7 years ago, a sun spot appeared on the sun. This is not an odd event, but is a signal, that within the next coming years, there will be a flip of the polars on the sun. The thing that does make this sun spot interesting though, is the shape, size, and how long it lasted. Most sun spots will appear on either the north or south side of the sun, range in the size of some huge planets, and will last around 3 months ( it may be days though..). But this sun spot, appeared in the middle of the sun ( such has never been witnessed ) , was the size of a very small planet, and lasted for but 3 hours or so. So scientist are thinking this polar flip is going to be very strong and abnormal to the normal ones we have, predicting that tons of radiation will spread through out space. And this is were our planet, and today falls in. We are in the middle of global warming, and our o-zone is very very weak. If it doesnt improve significantly with in the next years, we will be facing some bad threats, that we can do nothing about.

When the sun flips its polars, it will spread a ton of radiation. Our o-zone will be to weak to absorb it all. Who knows what it will really do. But the mayans say this is not the end of the earth, but just a rebirth.

I have done a ton of research on this, just because, for so many ancient cultures to see the same thing, and for their knowledge of the time, its just really eerie. The mayans mapped out our galaxy, including the milkyway. They had knowledge and other things that we dont even know about.

You dont have to believe in the destruction of the world, cause that is really highly unlikely. Believe in the destruction of life though.

Apparently, somehow in "all your research" you missed the fact that the o-zone blocks UV radiation. Earth's magnetic field protects us from the majority of the sun's EM radiation.

So according to you and "your research", the apocalypse comes in the form of very bad sunburns.

hey now thats my b-day but no i do not think the worlds going to end anytime soon

[inactive]

i voted for 'Absolutely Nothing' cause even though i believe in god... i dont believe we are going to be able to 'predict' when he will return etc etc.

[WitCh-Fire]

You forgot to add "Re-Election of George W. Bush" to the poll....

:p

We have the potential to destroy ourselves, and I think that time could be coming soon. The 20th century has been remembered as the bloodiest so far, yet it's evident that as we evolve, things only get bloodier. Is that not enough to say that the 21st could be worse than the 20th?

Interesting argument, no doubt.

This century is actually considered one of the most peaceful times in the civilization of humans on this world. The wars are over exagerated compared to past ones so much by media.

Millions and millions have been dying in the past of very bloody magnetudes, and now its like a lot less. (very deep statment :D )

[*]They also note that in the final years of earth, the water level will rise (icecaps are melting now), climate will get hotter (global warming), and natural disasters will occur (hurricanes, tsunamis).

I'm not religious, and I usually think these kinds of things are bs... but honestly, this is scary. Things are lining up too perfectly...

p.s. - another culture specified that before the ultimate end of the world (dec. 21), chaos will happen including a war like never fought before originating in the middle east. o_O

Many scientists have said that the natural disasters are normal they come in waves, and such. They have said global warming may of had an effect on them but not way 2 much. they go in like 100 year waves (theyve sorta lined that up with documents of areas of the world, where generations ago they had really bad **** but most people dont' hear about it now sicne they all be dead)

Now the other points i dont kno much about but there you go.

------------------------------

The US will no longer be the worlds super power. China, Brazil, and some other country will be in power!

- and my molson canadian will be as fresh as ever!

Probably planning on going home to be with the family for xmas

ps i think a super volcano would be sweet, i saw a discovery 2 hour special called, Super Volcano, and it was about a huge magma chamber under yellow stone national park, and if it were to erupt it would like completely **** the USA and most of Canada (f*ck meaning not necessarily killing everyone but making it to hard to live) and everyone moved to like the pacific, they had like a few years of failed crops around the world they said (at a sum up of what happened after segment)

Was pretty in depth, may i suggest that if you can watch it!

[DrewJW]

Personally I want the end of the world to be a global ban on porn.

Epic backups of dvd's ftw. I'll be rich!.
