Up to today dozens of people have predicted that the world would and and up to today they have all been wrong.
The predictions for 2012.DannyBoy451 said:
The year 2012 will be the potential start of the earths magnetic reversal hens temperatures will rise rapidly and at the same tie the sun is expected to flare. with the reduced magnetic field of the earth there could easily be a disconnection and all out shorting of the national power grids.
It's not for raging idiots, its for paranoid scientists.
I believe this is relevant to the subject at hand http://www.collegehumor.com/video:1917897 it's the only way to be sure. Who's up for it?
Lets review the current track record of apocolyptic fortellings.
Amount of times the world was predicted to end: ~400
Amount of times the world has actually ended: 0
I think we are in the clear my friend.
Let me put it this way. Meteors travel the depths of space in the millions, the millions of millions. Eventually one is going to hit us, fact. Run the chance of being hit over and over for hundreds of thousands of years and no matter how small it is it will happen. So think about it this way. Its not a matter of if the world ends. Its a matter of when. Dont bother with the crazy "It was written on a wall by thousand year old savages that thought blood sacrifices made better harvests" claims. The end of the world will come in a very boring way. Chances are our entire planet will be vaporised in a cataclysmic explosion before we can even take it all in.
In conclusion its a stupid idea and no one should worry.

The whole Mayan calendar ending thing...Danman1 said:
It can be explained so many other ways than "that's when the world will end." Maybe the Mayans didn't feel the need to continue any farther, since their calendar was so far ahead of the time when they wrote it. Maybe the Mayans were wiped out before they could add on more days. Either way, there's no sense worrying over it.
Zomg!!1 Thar will b nao Lolcatz!
The world will end when I actually talk like this. Not on 2012.

They said that the rapture would happen in the 1800's. It never did obviously, otherwise the final battle would have happened already. Why should anyone pay any more stock into the mayans? Remember, prophecy is vague enough to adapt to just about anything and still be right. There are some interpretations of the prophesy that suggests that it isn't even the end of the world, just the beginning of a new age, possibly a renaissance.
Remember Y2K? It never happened either.
I'm personally holding out for the World War Z.

We get the Olympics. The world will not end in 2012 because we get the fucking Olympics, the English will not allow planetary destruction until we've had our Olympics and even God(s) can't match the English for stubborn.Danman1 said:
So far the world has ended twice this year, in 2004, 2001, 2000, 1999 AND 1998, they're just the one's I bothered noticing.
It's a dumb movie advert for a dumb movie, nothing to worry about.
No, and so what if it did? It's not like we'd be equiped to stop hypothetical god-like powers from destroying the earth anyway...
You're all insane! The world ended 9 years ago during the Y2K crises! Of course it will end again, didn't you see the Matrix? That was a message from the survivors. They keep trying to tell us that every so often, the Evil unites and destroys humanity. And they've been getting better at it each time! We need to break free from this illusion of freedom and humanity and fight back. I've been building a bunker to protect us, but we have to go now, so hurry up and get in! Only then will you be safe from this horrifying disaster that is about to befall the world again.
