what do you think guys?
World Changing In 2012 or ending?
There is no actual real-world evidence that the world will end in 2012, or that there will be a %26quot;big change%26quot; in 2012.
World Changing In 2012 or ending?

2012 is the peak of the current cycle of solar activity. If a plasma emission struck earth during the equinoxes with comparable force to the 1859 Carrington event it could disable global electrical grids, causing a cascade effect that would destroy our infrastructure and require a decade to recover.

No end and no change for us.
No end and no big change.
No big change and no ending! Both are total crap!
P.S. Anyone who believes any of this is brainless. Do a research! anyone with a working logic and of course a functioning brain will know that anything related to world ending or awakening like that of September 11 can never be predicted like a clockwork!
And please don't press baseless personal views and don't add up to the misinformation. That is enough nonsense for this section alone.
These are actually two separate %26quot;predictions%26quot;. They are both unfounded. But the first one (world ending) is a definite hoax (a lie set up by people who know it is a lie) while the other is simply the result of an astrological-like event (just like %26quot;The Sun in Libra%26quot; could cause you to win the lottery).
The Big 2012 Hoax is based on the fake idea that the Mayan calendar ends (invented in the 1980s and 1990s by J.A. who was selling books on HIS understanding of Mesoamerican calendars), and that this end-of-calendar means the end-of-the-world (invented by the same charlatans who had invented Planet X for the June 2003 end-or-the-world).
The %26quot;New Age%26quot; prediction is based on two separate things, one modern, one ancient. The %26quot;modern%26quot; idea is based on the fact that the %26quot;Winter Solstice%26quot; position (a moving mathematical point on the ecliptic) is crossing the Galactic equator (a great circle in a recently-invented coordinate system, designed to be independent of the ecliptic). This crossing is what gave rise to many of the %26quot;polarity%26quot; predictions (e.g., we are crossing the plane of the Galaxy -- which is false). However, this %26quot;event%26quot; does not happen in 2012.
The older story (about the Mayans having predicted this New Age) comes from a book written by a Spanish priest in the 16th century (around 1550). When the Conquistadors were invading Central America, the Mayan Empire had already declined (the Spaniards were fighting the Aztecs, the Incas... but not the Mayas). One priest visited mountain villages where Mayan people were living in isolation (the Mayan empire had been declining for over 5 centuries) and collected stories and legends. This original manual was lost (it was NOT a book written by the Maya people, it was written by a Spanish priest). What is left is a translation that was written by another Spanish priest. This manual (called Popol Vuh) still exists; the last time I checked, it was in Chicago.
The strange thing is that the Popol Vuh has passages that are very similar to Biblical passages as they existed in versions of the Bible that were in use in Spain at the time.
The %26quot;prediction%26quot; in the Popol Vuh, regarding what we call Mayan New Ages (round figures in their calendar) is that the Mayan gods visit Earth and determine if they are happy with their creation. If not, they start over again. There is no description of what that means, and it sounds a bit too much like passages in the Apocalypse (not surprising, since it was written by two Spanish priests).
change is coming , yes we can , earth is going to change , and for the better of it, , people are so afraid that the world is going to end in 2012,
The details behind 21 December 2012 make no sense at all. The originator of the so-called prophecy studied at the University of Chicago in Arts more than 40 years ago. He was Jose Arguelles then. He now says time is faster than light (whatever that means) and that the way we measure time is harmful to all life on Earth (how does that work?).
He now calls himself Valum Voltan and says he is the re-incarnation of a Mayan priest and lives in New Zealand, last I heard. All this stuff was based on the fact that a Mayan count of days runs out of numbers on 21 or 23 December by our calendar. That has as much to do with the Mayan counting system as anything else. The Mayans counted by 20, then by 18s then by 20 again and so on.
The Mayans were pretty fair naked eye astronomers for a stone age people and had enough sense not to predict anything at all, except maybe party time. I reckon they were smarter or saner than Arguelles.
But crazy as Arguelles ideas are, he did not say the world would end on 21 December 2012. All he said was that this would be the beginning of a new era. That was about 20 years ago.
Since then, people who are just as batty, but in a different way have grabbed his ideas and run away with them. Some of them like Terence McKenna were habitual users of magic mushrooms and wrote down their visions. He based some of his stuff on special (mis)interpretation of the I Ching, and when it didn鈥檛 quite fit 2012 he fudged it.
Another called Nancy Lieder claimed that aliens had abducted her about 1993 and telepathically told her that a planet called X would pass close to the Earth and cause a magnetic pole shift and other damage. That would be in 2003. Since it didn't come, she started making up stories of how it was a trial to test the governments of the world and that the planet would appear later. She usually says 2012 as far as I know.
So among those we have one near certifiable loony, one drug taker and a woman who seems to be a classic case of paranoid schizophrenia with voices in the head and all.
Apart from Voltan, McKenna and Lieder, others have jumped on the bandwagon and have predicted everything from bees dying to collisions with stray planets. There are supposed to be alignments with the other planets or the centre of the galaxy, none of which will happen.
They are vicious liars and only in it for the money. They are trying to sell %26quot;survival%26quot; supplies, shelters, books, videos and what all, but to do that you have to frighten people first.

For many months I have had a 'standard answer' for questions which involved subjects such as 'Planet X', 'Nibiru', 'Mayan Calendar', '2012', 'End of the Earth', etc. etc. but I have desided to re-compose it since it seems to be pushing all of the wrong buttons on a lot of 'people' %26lt;sic%26gt;.
It really is too bad that most people have such knee-jerk reactions when reality challanges any of their personal beliefs. Especially if those beliefs are based upon some sort of 'pseudo-science' which gets a lot of air time or, even worse, if it seems to encroach upon some of their cherished beliefs in the supernatural or any sort of organized beliefs holding that the Universe is the result of some omniscient beings whim(s). It just seems to be another measure of how unbelievably stupid and gullible so many people are.
In the last few months (since I started replying to a sudden upsurge of questions about '2012') the 'standard answer' I have given (and to which I refer above) has been posted literally hundreds of times. And yet, suddenly, I find myself in receipt of violation notices to an answer which has, heretofore, not been considered offensive by anyone. My suspicion is that I have simply 'tweaked' someones cherished (and stupidly misplaced) belief(s) in the nature of reality (or the 6:00 O'Clock News).
While my 'standard answer' is certainly not any bastion of subtlety or wonderful example of writing style (within the context of contemporary usage of the English language) it certainly seems far less insulting or provocative than the ubiquitouss 'F--k You' that shows up on the pages of Y! Answers from time to time.
However.......
It does seem that there have been a huge number of individuals who have been misguided (rather badly, in most cases) in their beliefs. Whether this disinformation to which they have been subjected is accidental or disingenuous in origin is of no real interest. But the promulgation of such untruth(s) (and in particular, such untruths as terrify the younger and more susceptible members of society) without checking their veracity is certainly cause for wondering just how hopelessly stupid some individuals can be. The only 'people'%26lt;sic%26gt; of substantially lower moral (and intellectual) caliber are the ones attempting to profit from Chicken Littles irrational belief that 'The sky is falling!'.
There have been any number of well thought out, well documented, and well presented replies to de-bunk the myth(s) that ancient Mayan calendars, numerology, crystal gazing, spiritual advisors, or other such superstitious nonsense is capable of predicting the end of the Earth. I have lost count of the number of Astronemers (professional and amateur alike) who have refuted claims made for the existence of some 'rogue planet' which is supposed to strike the Earth on 21 December, 2012. There are any number of very credible sources on the Web (whose URL's have been repeatedly mentioned on Y! Answers) providing proof that such things are not going to happen and one would think that, after enough time, some faint glimmer of intelligence reaction to these doomsday myths just might begin to be noticed.
But such is not the case. It appears that, no matter how many times one provides real, factual, repeatable, demonstrable proof of a thing, the 'popular' response will shout down reality and those exposed to reality will either change sides, or fail to respond for fear of being ridiculed by those who must be correct since 'everyone knows it'. Someone once observed that: %26quot;Truth passes through three distinct phases. First it is ridiculed, secondly it is violently opposed, and finally it is accepted as self-obvious truth.%26quot; It really is a good observation of the average persons 'mentality' %26lt;sic%26gt;. Apparently the speed of intelligence is rather slow while the speed of stupidity may approach that of light itself.
