I was watching a weird video yesterday on the History Channel, and basically there is a legend that the last day on the Mayan calendar is December 21, 2012. Supposedly, this means the world will end that day.
Do you believe this could be true? I know a lot of things happened in the past, such as Y2K and June 6, 2006.
What do you think?
no
yes
sure why not
we all gotta die some day
you're such a fish. It's obv true.Quote:

The world already ended on 06/06/06 when the devil came
does it matter?
it would so that you could appropriately 11
Our calender ends on December 31st 2008 and will then be reset and begin again on January 1st 2009. The Mayan calender works the same way except their calender is much longer. When it comes to an end in 2012, it will begin again.Quote:

The mayan calender is based on passing through the solar plain.
My wife believes something significant will happen that day ( she's kind of into this stuff), but not that the world is ending. I don't really buy into it.
It depends on your POVQuote:

mayan world ended some hundred yrs ago
absolutely, 100% confirmed
Just in case, we should all be getting shit-faced in Vegas on that day.
one of my co-workers is pretty convinced the world will end that day. I did my best to book a bet with him for a full years salary that it wouldn't, but he wasn't quite that dumb. :lol:
The world will not end (I hope, though a lot of people are doing their darnedest), but the age we live in will. The Mayan Long Count calendar started on August 11, 3114 BC and ends on the winter solstice of 2012, December 21. On this day a rare astronomical and Mayan mythical event occurs. In astronomic terms, the Sun conjuncts the intersection of the Milky Way and the plane of the ecliptic. The Milky Way extends in a general north-south direction in the night sky. The plane of the ecliptic is the track the Sun, Moon, planets and stars appear to travel in the sky, from east to west. It intersects the Milky Way at a 60 degree angle near the constellation Sagittarius. The cosmic cross formed by the intersecting Milky Way and plane of the ecliptic was called the Sacred Tree by the Maya. The trunk of the tree, the Axis Mundi, is the Milky Way, and the main branch intersecting the tree is the plane of the ecliptic. Mythically, at sunrise on December 21, 2012, the Sun rises to conjoin the center of the Sacred Tree. The Sun has not conjoined the Milky Way and the plane of the ecliptic since some 25,800 years ago, long before the Mayans arrived on the scene and long before their predecessors the Olmecs arrived. Due to a phenomenon called the precession of the equinoxes, caused by the Earth's wobble that lasts almost 26,000 years, the apparent location of the Winter Solstice sunrise has been ever so slowly moving toward the Galactic Center. The Mayans noticed the relative slippage of the positions of stars in the night sky over long periods of observation, indicative of precession and by using an invention called the Long Count, they fast-forwarded to anchor December 21, 2012 as the end of the cycle and then counted backwards to decide where the calendar would begin. This period, known as the Great Cycle, lasting 1,872,000 days and equivalent to 5,125.36 years is 1/5 of a Great Great Cycle, known scientifically as the Great Year or the Platonic Year - the length of the precession of the equinoxes. Over a year's time the Sun transits through the twelve houses of the zodiac. Many of us know this by what "Sun sign" is associated with our birthday. Upping the scale to the Platonic Year - the 26,000 year long cycle - we are shifting, astrologically, from the Age of Pisces to the Age of Aquarius. The Mayan calendar does not really "end" in 2012, but rather, all the cycles turn over and start again, shifting to a new era.
Is that when Jesus returns to the main even final table?
it doesnt matter because 11/11/11 comes first and will be awesome by virtue of being 11

that the material world will end is kind of difficult atm, there is no possible weapon that can dimply destroy the eart, liks say, splitting it in two right now. ieam, it would take an asteroid the half the size of mars to positively destroy the world, as in how Krypton from Superman got destroyed
However, that does not mean we are not on a deadline. In 5 Billion years, the material world will disappear, with the usually benevolent sun (Sol) going Nova. But its waaaay to far away for any of us to care, and by then we would have migrated to other systems already.

It isn't just the Mayan calendar that predicted it. Several other societies predicted the same thing for the same date apparently. Native Americans I believe think that it will be the beginning of a new life.
So really it doesn't have to mean the complete destruction of the world, could just mean a big change of some sort. Or they could just all be wrong.
Well, it means the earth isn't spinning steadily, its wobbling. The orientation of the Earth's axis is slowly changing, tracing out a conical shape. This cycle lasts a little under 26,000 years and the current cycle ends in 2012. After that it'll start another one. Wooppidy woop.Quote:
