what happen on 21 dec 2012?

The Doomsday theory is a modern theory of why the ancient mayans ended their long count calender (one of many calenders the ancient mayans made) on dec 21 2012. We have nothing from the ancient mayans that says it's a doomsday, nor do we have any hard evidence of that today. Think about it, if the ancient mayans where trying to warn us about doomsday, why make such an elaborate calender and just forget to mention the end means doomsday.The ancient mayan calender has been accurate for thousands of years that means from the ancient mayans perspective they made it accurate for thousands of yours ahead. They couldn't make it go on forever, maybe dec 21 2012 (winter solstice) was as good as any date to end their calender on.

This is what will happen on December 21, 2012.

The sun will rise in the morning. It will be what ever the weather forecast calls. Everyone will go through out their day like normal. Then the sun will set. Will continue our night and go to bed and then the sun will rise again on December 22, 2012 thus making those who thought the world was going to end feel like a idiot.

The real question is: "Why are you asking this, when so many other people have also asked it? No matter how many people ask what is 2 + 2, the answer will always be 4. The same thing applies here. Haven't you bothered to look at the answers that have already been given? Do you really think we are going to be the victims of an apocalypse? Why do you believe such nonsense?"

“The Mayan calendar ends on December 21, 2012! That’s when they predicted the world will end. It’s also when the planet Nibiru will crash into the Earth!”

Here is the truth:

(1) The Mayan calendar does NOT end on December 21, 2012.

(2) The Mayans did NOT predict the end of the world, on that date or any other.

(3) The planet Nibiru will NOT crash into the Earth on that date, because it doesn’t exist!

Don't you think it would be the most incredible coincidence if all these things were to happen on the same day? Doesn't that give you a clue that it's so unlikely that they will?

If anyone thinks I’m wrong, then I’m willing to bet them £10,000, which they can pay to me on December 22 when it’s obvious that these “predictions” are proven to be false.

The Mayan calendar has various time periods. We have days, weeks, months, years, etc. They had periods called b’ak’tuns and piktuns, among others. The periods are counted up, and, like the mileometer in a car, when one number reaches its maximum, it resets to zero and the next number along is increased. In their calendar, the “Long Count” reaches 13.0.0.0.0 on 21 December 2012, but that is NOT the end of their calendar - it resets the number of b’ak’tuns to zero and increases the number of piktuns - to 1.0.0.0.0.0! The calendar then goes to the next piktun on October 13, 4772.

In any case, the Mayans never predicted the end of the world on that date. My “normal” calendar runs out on 31 December, 2012. What will happen then? The end of the world? No! I’ll simply use another calendar for the next period of time - 2013.

"We are speaking out against deceit, lies and twisting of the truth, and turning us into folklore-for-profit. They are not telling the truth about time cycles," says Felipe Gomez, leader of the Maya alliance.

The impact of Nibiru was first announced back in 1995 by Nancy Leider, except she didn’t say it would hit us in December 2012 - the date she gave was May 15, 2003! Of course nothing happened, and she later announced a new date. Nothing happened then either, and then she heard about the 2012 story of the Mayan calendar and said it would happen then. It is obvious that this is all total rubbish and she is making this up as she goes along.

Leider claimed to have this knowledge by means of an implant in her brain, which allows her to receive messages from extra-terrestrials in the Zeta-Reticuli star system, which is a double star about 39 light-years from Earth. So firstly, how was this implant installed, and by whom, and secondly, any messages that she receives are coming from a star that is about 30º south of the southern-most star that can be seen from Nancy’s home in California. So if the star is never above the horizon, how do the messages reach her through solid rock?

We’re also supposed to believe that the astronomers on a planet around that double-star could detect planet Nibiru going around our star 39 light-years away, and yet although we have confirmed over 500 planets orbiting other stars, including one over 21,000 light-years away - almost a quarter of the distance across the galaxy - we haven’t seen Nibiru, which is supposed to be in our own back-yard!

To arrive on December 21, 2012 from a distance of the orbit of Pluto, it would have to be at that distance around December, 2003. That's over 6 months *after* the arrival date of May 2003 that Nancy gave us.

Of course, if it did exist, and was going to hit us hit us a few days from now, it would currently be less than the distance of the Moon! Assuming it is “only” the same size as the Moon, we would have been able to see it with the naked eye for ages. All around the world are millions of amateur astronomers, and there are also huge telescopes - yet no-one has seen this thing because it isn’t there.

Actually, something interesting will happen the day before, on December 20. At 12 minutes past 8pm it will be 20:12 on 20/12 of 2012 :) [That's using UK formatting for the date - DD/MM]

If you want to book a space presentation on real science, or to place a bet with me about these claims, write to jstone@spaceflight-uk.com

So the bottom line is - Don't worry, nothing particular will happen on December 21, apart from the Winter Solstice and loads of people realising that they been daft to to believe this nonsense! Oh, and a group of us are meeting up to have a 2012 Apocalypse Survivors' Dinner :)

PS - you need to learn how to write in proper English.

There is not any more intent to suppose "something big will happen" than to consider the world will end. There is certainly nothing unique about that day than another Friday, except that it's virtually Christmas.

And what are your plans? If you gonna stay at home, then nothing very interesting going to happen. And if you are going out on that day, then lots of different thing could happen.

Winter solstice in the northern hemisphere.

Summer solstice in the Southern Hemisphere.

Millions of people will be running around like headless chickens doing their last minute Christmas shopping !

The winter solctice

I don't know what the future will bring, but I sure would like to get to know Classy Mami - She is looking GOOD!

The same thing that happened last year.
