How do you think the world may end on december 21 accorded to mayan calendwr ( Archived) (70)

I sure as hell hope not

funny you should ask; well, not really

did you know:

the last time the Mayan calendar ended its 'cycle' was around the same time that Columbus discovered the shortest route ever to China.

What ever became of the Mayans after Columbus?

all it takes to erase us all in totality is
just one solar flare.
just one big meteor.

we will not be missed ;(

But, nothing is final until it is over.

Not quite.

Solar flares?

The sun has 11 yr cycles and 2013 is going to be at its maximum activity for solar flares. Just like in 1859 when a huge solar storm burned out telegraph wires in Europe and the United States.

That we might have problems in 2013 with satellite communication and electricity supply (in case the grid is damaged) that is possible.


An asteroid?

What are the chances of us being hit?

"Our solar system is very big compared to the size of the Earth, which means that the chance that the Earth will be hit by another solar system object such as an asteroid is very small. Once in awhile, it happens. But not very often....most of the asteroids in our solar system are located in the asteroid belt. Yet we have been able to send spacecraft such as Voyager I and II, as well as others, through this belt without any problems. Why? There is more "empty space" in the belt than asteroids!

How often do we expect the Earth to be hit?
The asteroids capable of causing a global disaster if they hit the Earth are extremely rare. They probably would need to be about a kilometer or more in diameter. Such bodies impact the Earth only once every 100,000 years on average. Other objects of a similar size, such as comets, impact even less frequently, perhaps once every 500,000 years or so.


If we discover an object that will collide with Earth's, what could be done about it?
If astronomers find such an object, there would be plenty of time to track it, measure its orbit precisely, and plan a system for deflecting it from its current orbital path. There would be no great hurry and no great panic. It would be a project for all the world's nations to take part in. Because we will have found it long before it actually intersects the Earth's orbit, it probably would take only a small push (perhaps from chemical rockets we land on the surface of the asteroid) to divert it from a threatening path."

Nibiru? Okay, you've just lost all credibility

But at the other end of the black hole they won't be red shoes any longer, they'll be a red g-string.

Lol ... and I've got the other pieces to wear with that too!

So instead of clapping your feet to get back to Kansas you can clap your buttocks... Can't guarantee where you'll find yourself then but it's worth a try.

"Q: What is the origin of the prediction that the world will end in 2012?
A: The story started with claims that Nibiru, a supposed planet discovered by the Sumerians, is headed toward Earth. This catastrophe was initially predicted for May 2003, but when nothing happened the doomsday date was moved forward to December 2012. Then these two fables were linked to the end of one of the cycles in the ancient Mayan calendar at the winter solstice in 2012 -- hence the predicted doomsday date of December 21, 2012.

Q: Does the Mayan calendar end in December 2012?....."

OMG - that cracked me up!! I think I'll pass on doing that.

Thanks for the link...
There is something that's gonna end December 2012... the year

Not crazy about Kansas, are ya? Me neither.

I believe in what George Carlin says. I'm playing Devil’s advocate to look at what the Environmentalists believe.

Oh, you scared me there for a min. I couldn't believe you were as nuts as to believe Nibiru was on its way, LOL.
