Boban1: That sounds interesting ... I red somewhere that the earth is changes the slope due to some happenings on the sun,every 600.000 years or so, causing the climate changes
So do you mean life will go on, we will just evolve?
Belushi: In fact, why not ban the EU too!! and OPEC .. and NATO .. and the Crinkley Bottom women's euchre league too ... they are demonic .. all blue rinses and slingback!
Conrad73: Just the beginning of a new Cosmic Year!In roughly 25'000 years the same Polar Star will be at Celestial North! Nothing to write Home about!
A bit more on that!
The celestial poles do not remain permanently fixed against the background of the stars. Because of a phenomenon known as the precession of the equinoxes, the poles trace out circles on the celestial sphere, with a period of about 25,700 years. The Earth's axis is also subject to other complex motions which cause the celestial poles to shift slightly over cycles of varying lengths; see nutation, polar motion and axial tilt. Finally, over very long periods the positions of the stars themselves change, because of the stars' proper motions.WIKI

wildprotector: so , b happy and smile until u hear the bang.. they said the same sort of thing about titanic
You have a TITANIC-Obsession! What makes you believe that the Universe is governed by the Laws of the TITANIC? And put together with Rivets like the TITANIC!

Conrad73: In about Five Billion years!
I got your international English, but, seems a shame after 4 billion years of effort. still, we have time to go to the stars and choose another planet to wreck. Although by that time maybe the stars will be too far apart to reach.
Get yourself a Wiper for your Belly-Widow! You're living in a Universe that is governed by sudden Events! No Order,just Chaos! Glad I ain't living there!
You seem to have your very own little Twilight-Zone! What kind of Nightmare Cosmos are you living in?

Yes, but this is another thing. Here it concerns only the slight orbit-changemement because of the changes of gravity-issues between earth and moon.

Well,Universal Laws are Universal laws! Can't go change them to fit ourselves,once that Gasball burns out,it's Good Night Irene! Maybe by then Mankind has learned how to use Wormhole to travel through Space,or maybe they,Mankind has gone the way of many other Species! One thing is sure,I won't be around to see it! But I am just getting tired of that Drivel that is constantly being disseminated by a bunch of Soothsayers and Doomsday-Prophets,who are totally disregard Scientific Facts,but expect us to believe their Harangues.

I can but agree with this statement, too many heuristic statements not supported by valid research.
wildprotector: we have been free riding for centuries. one billion people are hungry now, every minute a child dies in the third world ,,,and the rest of the world dance and dont care..sinking in pleasure. reminding me of the dance hall of titanic.. when suddenly it shook, and it shocked the rich and dancing.. isnt it what would happen in 2012, and dont we deserve it?
Well, instead, I invite all of you to write down at least 3 most possible physical reasons that the earth COULD collapse earlier than before 4.5 billions year. Please do not refer at "human beings activities" or so, because we are just a species like dogs, aunts, etc. and we have no influence on earth's life, whatever we do. We are much too small for it. The earth produce new life’s over millions of years, according their survival skins.

The amount of energy contained in the earth's rotation is pretty large: 2.1 x 1029 joules. You'd have to supply an appreciable fraction of that to change the earth's rotation in any major way. To put this number in perspective, a megaton is 4 x 1015 joules. You'd have to supply about 5 x 1014 megatons, or about 100 million times the total nuclear arsenal of the Earth. So we can see that the science fiction theme of a nuclear blast affecting the earth's rotation is just plain impossible. The kinetic energy of the earth in its orbit is about 2.7 x 1033 joules or about 10,000 times its rotational energy, so the entire earth's nuclear arsenal could hardly affect the earth in its orbit even if we could somehow deliver the energy effectively.
Another way to look at this is that it takes 400,000 joules to melt a kilogram of rock, so to change the earth's rotation, you'd liberate enough energy to melt 5 x 1023 kilograms of rock or almost 10 per cent of the earth.

The great Western myth, 2012
The current 2012 cult movement, inspired by loose interpretations of the Mayan calendar, the book of Revelations 21:1 (New Earth), the Quran, 69:13-15, and other native Indian prophecies as well as "new age" prophecies. The problem is, there is no exact time given and the way the Mayan calendar was filtered by some people, was not accurate.
December 21, 2012 will come and go people. There is no duck, and there are no quacks. There will be no threshold and no instant ascension
