    I have never found "planetary alignments" spooky. They aren't ever actually aligned in space. That is just how they appear in our view of the sky. I've seen them a number of times.

    There will never be an actual alignment of all the planets from the Sun outward because their orbits are not on the same plane. There won't even be any apparent alignments (or conjunctions) in 2012.

    No alignments of the planets that year, specially not in December.. They can't line up because the orbits are not in the same plane.

    Raving ratbags say the world will end because they are ratbags and that is the sort of thing raving ratbags do.

    Crooks say the world will end because they think they can make money out of selling worthless junk to uncritical kids and dim-bulb adults. They also have false documentaries made for unscrupulous TV channels to screen to promote sales and ratings.

    Would-be practical jokers say this because their limited imaginations tell them it is still amusing after the 65,000th repetition.

    The "world" will end when it is struck by a real, not movie asteroid or is irradiated by a neutron star merger within a couple thousand light years. Or when the Sun goes through a red giant stage in a few billion years. The religious have other ideas which vary from religion to religion.

    Note to Christians - read Mark - nobody knows the day or the hour, not the angels and not Jesus.

    The Mayans predicted nothing and neither did any ancient people, that particularly includes Nostradamus and supposed prophecies about popes.

    The disaster in 2012 myth is entirely lies told for commercial gain. It has no scientific, historical, Christian, Islamic, Buddhist or Hindu content and is completely fraudulent.

    The movie is CGI destructo-porn and was intended for the low taste of a target audience of teenage boys and immature adults. It is plot-free and the characters are cardboard cutouts.

    This garbage predates the movie and started with a prediction of a spiritual awakening in 2012 by a relatively innocent New Age character called Jose Arguelles. That was not scary enough to sell disaster shelters, books, guns, survival supplies and other junk so the frauds and liars turned it into the end of the world.

    It is a filthy exploitation of hysteria among children and a few dim-bulb adults that has been going on for some years.

    If there are suicides as a result of this garbage I hope to see the sources charged in court with some criminal offence. We can start with fraud.

    They always have some kind of spooky planetary alignment.

    So 2012 ain't gonna be no different.

    Except by some spooky coincidence the world is gonna end on December 21st 2012.

    The end of the world ain't gonna have nothing to do with some spooky alignment.

    The world is gonna end all by itself, so stop worrying about spooky alignments.

    No planetary alignment of any kind in 2012 or ever.

    The planets can't line up - the closest they have been to an "alignment" was in May 1982 when they were all on the same side of the sun at the same time.

    Did anyone notice anything?

    Alignments are only important to humans, they have no validity or importance in physics.

    1. There are no planetary alignments predicted for 2012.

    2. There is nothing "spooky" about a planetary alignment. They are actually quite pretty.

    No. And what's 'spooky' about alignments?

    Intra-system alignments are a natural consequence of the

    'resonant tuning' of the orbits of the planets and are a symptom

    of the long term stability of the solar system.

    It wouldn't last long, (on an astronomical time scale), without them.

    'Alignments' with distant bodies are far to weak in effect to be significant.

    No. And the next planetary alignment is tomorrow. Venus with Mercury.

    Such events are so common, that it is not spooky at all.

    Nope.

    The Alignment in 2012 is one that happens every year at some point.

    It's Earth -> Sun -> Dark band in the Milky Way.

    No biggie.

    No unusual alignments are predicted for 2012.
