I was just saying that because I don't have a link when some jackass would ask for one to prove that.
And yes, it is true that many people predict that date.

Seriously dude, that date is significant in that a lot of celestial bodies align. That's all.

I know. It's the end of the Mayan calendar, but apparently it also coincides with some weird plantary allignment. I guess that is what is supposed to bring about global disaster.
I read somewhere that the first draft of the script actually had the world being destroyed at the end. They changed it because they didn't think test audiences would respond too favorably. LOL

And of course they use hindsight in regards to Nostro's predictions SO?
He wrote NINE HUNDRED AND FORTY TWO MOTHERfrickING QUATRAINS, each of which was extremely vague. So what are the odds that through the centuries notable events can be matched with suitable quatrains? I'd say it's a certainty.

Not really much of a PREDICTION if you can only "predict" it looking back.

Lastly, on 12/21/2012 the earth will be in the same spot of rotation that it was when it first started spinning 26000 years ago so before yall all spew off about the 2012 thing the Mayans are just a small part of the puzzle.

there's many different prediction based on 12-21-12, but there is no accurate or concrete proof that this is the date or time period deemed as the end of time. and by the way nostradamus has been wrong probably more than he's been right, remember that had good pure drugs during his time on earth.

Yeah, but it isn't a coincidence.
The Mayan calender is based off of astrology. It is the beginning of a new cycle, ending with that alignment.

It isn't a big deal in the Mayan calender. It is just the point where the 26000 year cycle starts again. Oh, and space-pirate cheerleaders are supposed to take over the world on that day too.

John Major Jenkins and others [11] claim that an alignment will occur when the sun rises above the horizon on December 21 2012, at which point the sun will rise in the middle of the Milky Way Galaxy, thus causing an alignment between the earth, sun, and the galactic center.[12] It is claimed that this event will cause numerous changes on Earth. However, the event is only a visual phenomenon from the Earth's perspective, which is caused by the precession of the equinoxes or the 26,000 year wobble of the earth, and thus only changes our perspective, not the actual position of the earth in relation to the galaxy. In short, there is no gravitational force or radiation to be expected from this event because other than the tilt of the earth, nothing will be any different from what occurs in any other solstice. [13][14][15]
There are also claims such as those of Michael Tsarion [16] that an actual physical alignment of our entire solar system will occur with the horizontal plane of the Milky Way Galaxy on that day. The solar system is moving around the center of the galaxy every 225 million years or so, and while doing so is moving up and down in a cycle crossing the plane every 33 million years. According to the Journal Nature, however, there is evidence of the solar system crossing the galactic plane 3 million years ago. This would mean that we are moving away from the galactic plane, not toward it, and we will not be due to cross it for another 30 million years.[17]
There are also theories that a currently unknown planet, sometimes referred to as planet x or Nibiru, which supposedly has an odd orbit that only enters the local solar system every 3600 years will return in 2012 causing many problems. [18] The idea is traced back to Zecharia Sitchin's translations of Sumerian texts, and specifically to his interpretation of the VA 243 cylinder seal, which he says shows that the Sumerians knew of 12 planets (sun, moon, and ten others). This idea has been challenged by his peers, most notably Michael Heiser. [19] [20]
Among other possible scenarios is that a shift of the Earth's magnetic poles may occur, and that this will leave the earth vulnerable to harmful radiation from the sun.[21] According to NASA magnetic pole reversal does not occur on a particular day or year, but over the course of thousands of years. Furthermore, the magnetic field does not vanish during this natural cycle, but becomes more complex as it makes the transition.[22]
Some proponents of the pole shift scenario claim that this shift would be a physical movement of the poles of the earth, and not simply a magnetic shift. This event is called a true polar wander. Earth has experienced a few degree shift in the past, but nowhere near a reversal, and there is no reason to suggest this is likely or even possible. According to William Sager, a Texas A&M Oceanographer, a slight shift in the physical pole occurs at a rate between 5 and 10 degrees per million years, which means that this event could not happen on a particular day or year but only over a long period of time. [23]
per wikipedia.
there's also the new age beliefs that its just going to be a conscious change of brain patterns and stuff.

It is worth noting that if the world does end in 2012, then the Bible was wrong.
Just throwing that out there.

The frick are you laughing at
26000 year alignment........look it up solstice sun and galtic equator.

Now, what would be interesting is if being in that position finally pushes the weakening pole over the edge and finally causes it to flip.
THAT would cause some serious shite on that day.

Revelations??

How would that prove the Bible to be wrong? The Bible does not set an exact date for the Apocalypse.

If the world ends on that day, Tribulation should have already started years ago.

I know nothing of physics so i'm not sure but the that shift would frick gravity up for a few minutes i'd imagine.

Well since earth was created 26000 years ago.......it probably wasn't spinning before that.

On a different note, I truly believe the world will end within the next 10 years, Either by something stupid Obama has done or frickin global warming combined with the natural climate changes we are going through.
