It would be too much of a cosmic irony for the world to end right after the first term of the first black american president.

That is, unless he loses next election, and hits the big red button.

I think it will end much sooner than that, Jan. 21, 2009. A day after Obama takes office.

Good point.

It wasn't the end of their calendar; Dec 21, 2012 is just when the Mayan calendar changes epochs. It's like all those god-botherers who got all fussed over 1999-2000, or 999-1000 looking back in historical records.

However, I'm seriously tempted to start selling end-of-the-world kits to the gullible and pounding the drums over every possible doomday looming. Anybody know when the Chinese calendar gets all inauspicious-like?

Chinese calender it's like 4000 something this year

The world has to end sometime. The question is how will it end? Maybe by a zombie apocalypse who knows. Or evil computers. Maybe a meteor will hit us. Or just maybe a viral plauge.

The human race will live on forever and ever, when the world eventually starts to die (more so then it already has), we'll just move to another planet.

Here's my prediction: In 2012, Starcraft II will be released in Korea. So many people will be playing it simultaneously that the entire Korean power grid will be offline. During the time it takes for the back-up generator to warm up, a meteor will hit a nuclear siulo, making the computer think that they are being nuked, and, thus, fire retaliation nukes at several nations. This, in turn, will cause those nations to fire their retaliation nukes, and we're all gonna get nuked to hell.

But you know what? starcraft II is gonna kick ass.

My serious prediction: anything any philosopher says is too vague, and we just try to apply it to anything that makes us look smart. The fact that the Mayan calendar ends in 2012 is because, well, the person making it didn't live forever, maybe they ran out of stone, maybe they got bored, maybe there was a revolution or something, you don't always get to sit there, undisturbed, carving calendar dates into stone slabs.

If I see anyone who thinks the world will end in 2012, I will bet them $1 000 000 that it will not. In the event that it does, it wouldn't matter, for obvious reasons, but if I'm right, I'll have $1 000 000 worth of pennies to swim around in and gloat at all the people who would fear anything at all just because it's popular to do so.

If anyone noticed the aztecs created a calendar that is circular. It had to end in 2012 because of it's starting point. otherwise the shape would be uneven.

To all those who believe the world will end, i can see 2 problems:
A) How did the Mayan's/Aztec's figure that 2012 will be our doom
B) They based their idea on the fact that this happens every 5000 years, the turnover of the callender and the new begining... they were around over 5000 years ago... i still see a problem
The mayans predicted many things not just the end of the world.They predicted the coming of the white man,the world wars, and some other stuff I don't remeber. Also nostradomus has something on that day but was to vague to come to a conclusion.
Please don't bring up Nostradamus.

I gotta admit, its quite a creepy thought that the world will end. Mainly the things said by Alpha Wolf 13. Honestly though im not sure what i believe. On one hand i dont think the world will end cause some fool says so. However, all those culture that had no connections predicting the same date; its more than a bit creepy.

Oh indifference, how i hate you........

K, I don't know if someone said this, but there is NO WAY I am reading 5 pages of posts. anyway a guy told me in Mexico (yes he was Mexican)that the Mayans-not Aztecs- were happily living and making their calendar until the Spanish chased them out of their cities and into the forests. So they didn't predict impending doom they just never finished the calendar. Just what I heard.

I doubt the Mondoshawans are going to be of any help.
Damn, just missed getting a cookie.

As for my two cents, the 2012 prediction has as much merit as every other "doomsday" prediction ever conceived based on a religious or ancient text. Ergo, none. I won't pretend to know when the world will "end", but I can tell you how the world will truly end. It will either be destroyed by our sun going red giant, hurled into the colliding super-massive black holes at the center of the Milky Way and Andromeda (which are going to collide billions of years from now), or torn apart by a force, known as dark energy, that has yet to be understood or examined. Dark energy is some substance or force, which we have observed indirectly, that is pushing everything in the universe farther and farther away from everything else. Many physicists have theorized that, at it's current rate of expansion, that in many billions of years dark energy will begin to not only rip apart galaxies, but stars, planets, and eventually even the very atoms that make up all matter in the universe. Life may be persistent, but even it can't survive that.
