Tell you're friend to do more research before flipping. Terence did not actually say the world was going to end. He said that a end-of-the-world kind of event would take place. On his website it's stated
Novelty Theory suggests that on December 21 of 2012 AD, at the coincidence of the moment of the solstice and the heliacal rising of the galactic center, levels of planetary novelty will exponentially increase. Theory does not make clear the nature of the ultranovel event, however. Speculation as to the nature of the encounter with the trans-dimensional object at the end of time includes the following:
* Hyperspatial Breakthrough
* Planetesimal Impact
* Alien Contact
* Historical Metamorphosis
* Metamorphosis of Natural Law
* Solar Explosion
* Quasar Ignition at the Galactic Core
Theoretically, some or all of the above could happen based on his hypothesis. However, they are also just theories. In addition, his speculations, from what I've read, leaned more toward a dramatic shift in human existence than an end to it. He saw an epoch event at that time. That can be cataclysmic. It can also be transcendent. Tell her to read more on his theories before jumping the gun and planning for the end of it all.
