    Default 2012

    I was watching History Channel last night and they had several shows pertaining to 2012. One of the theories is that there will be a realignment of the poles when everything lines up with the center of the universe. What that means to us is that the earths mantle will shift or spin. This could cause the Calderas to erupt as well as all the volcanos, it would also put a great strain on all fault lines. And lastly the earths crust would shift as a whole in relation to the present day rotation. Then again it could be Y2K all over again.

    Once it's over, write a post and let us know how you made out.

    I guess what i'm getting at is, there simply are some things that we will not be able to prepare for, or survive for that matter.

    There have been more theories about the world coming to an end than there are years on calendar. Most physicists have stated this whole alignment thing will affect nothing at all. And if it does then why worry about it?

    Well, just to be on the safe side, I'm gonna' "buy" that 80' yacht I've always wanted but could never afford in my wildest dreams. I'll be back just as soon as I swipe a few identities. Takes about 3 years to prosecute those cases, so the timing should be perfect.

    Dec 24 2012 is just another date. It's the end of the Maya calendar, and the beginning of a new "big turn" or something like that. The world doesn't end every jan 1, does it? Nope because Jan 1 is an arbitrary date in an arbitrary calendrical system. The Mayan calendar is just based on astronomical events, like the several thousand year precession of the north pole.

    My entertainment will be watching everyone else go crazy. Get out of stocks before Dec 2012 though.

    From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mayan_calendar:
    "The Mesoamerican Long Count calendar forms the basis for a New Age belief, first forecast by José Argüelles, that a cataclysm will take place on or about December 21, 2012, a forecast that mainstream Mayanist scholars consider a misinterpretation, yet is commonly referenced in pop-culture media as the 2012 problem."

    and
    "For example, Sandra Noble, executive director of the Mesoamerican research organization FAMSI, notes that "[f]or the ancient Maya, it was a huge celebration to make it to the end of a whole cycle". However, she considers the portrayal of December 2012 as a doomsday or cosmic-shift event to be "a complete fabrication and a chance for a lot of people to cash in."

    I just watched a show last night on Issac Newton. And his biblical calculations came up with 2060

    As the Minister of Science I'm canceling the year 2012 and jumping straight to 2013. That should be a lot luckier.
