WHAT'S THE DEAL WITH DECEMBER 21ST, 2012 ?

The whole thing is an invention by a bunch of frauds and crackpots trying to get you to buy worthless books and videos. None of it has any basis in real science. The people promoting this have no knowledge of science. They just like to pretend to be knowledgeable in order to impress the gullible. Don't be one of the gullible.

There is no 'ancient prediction' by the Mayans or anyone else. These were all invented in the last 20 years.

There is no 'mystery planet' about to pass by. Why don't the fraudsters tell us its current coordinates? You decide.

There will be no rare alignment, either planetary or galactic. When was the last alignment that caused us any problems anyway?

There will be no pole shift. A magnetic pole shift is not imminent and probably tens of thousands of years away. A sudden rotational pole shift is a physical impossibility.

The next solar maximum is expected in mid 2013, not 2012 and is expected to be less intense than the last maximum in 2001.

Other predictions such as the photon belt and Terence McKenna's Timewave Zero are just too silly to bother with.

Only 4 shopping days left till Christmas.

Bye Bye Yomama T-Shirts will be popular that year, Discounted London Olympic pins when the Iranians boycott the games infavor of sending an atomic bomb for peaceful use to excavate the olympic stadium.

Another delightful seller will be The Mayan Calendar Volume 2. Unearthed in the summer of 2012, scientist find the second volume of the Mayan long count calender stone and realize the end of the world isn't till 6482 when Nostradamus predicted it would end. OxFam/Goodwill will be running specials from donations given by all the believers that gave away everything they owned in anticipation of being beamed up on Dec 20th.

See this is what happened...

The mayans were making a calender that could predict some astronomical events. Then one day the Mayan collapse happened. Whcih is when either overpopulation, foreign invasion, peasant revolt, and the collapse of key trade routes happened. But scientists are not sure. So then they couldn't keep going with their little calender and just stopped at a random date. Which was the date of the solcticed.

In conclusion this is whats going to happen that day, ABSOLUTLEY NOTHING!

The winter solstice will happen at 5:11

AM Eastern Standard Time.

well,lets see.All those that believe the world will end on 12/21/12 will be picked up in Arizona by a space ship.the rest of us will continue to carry on.

Those of us who lived through Y2K of course.

the mayans calendar ended at the date so people think it might be the end of the world

planetary alignment supposably
