I’m sure some of you have heard some talk about 2012. If you haven’t…then you will start hearing it more and more as we move closer to 2012.
For those that don’t know here is a quick background:
2012 is going to be a year of some great change in our world…supposedly.
Some think it will be the end of the world (due to many factors.)
Some think it will be a time of MAJOR change for the human race.
Others think Jesus is coming back
Still others think Aliens are coming (back).
Why is 2012 so important?
What started all this talk about 2012? Well actually 2012 talk has been going on for a long time. The Mayan calendar (which is more accurate then our own modern calendar as it doesn’t require a leap year) will end on December 21, 2012. Why is that important? Well their calendar has been accurate about many things so far, so people invest a lot of trust in it. Why would the Mayan’s, who appear to be more mathematically adept than the rest of the world at that time, make a calendar with such a specific end date?
Some think that’s when the Mayan God (some white hair pale humanoid person) will come back. He/she was the one that taught them everything they knew. (Enter Alien and Jesus theory.)
A time of major change for humanity: Some think 2012 will mark the next big step in evolution. We will…do something mentally haha. I don’t really know this part of the talk because I just don’t see how yet. But there are people out there who think we are all about to go through some major change physically. If someone knows more about this then speak up.
End of the world…as we know it - Planet X:
Planet X is probably the most talked about thing besides the Mayan calendar when referring to 2012. What is Planet X? Well..we don’t know, and that’s the scary part. What do we know? We know is it about 5 to 10 times the size of Earth and it is moving to the center of our solar system. Some think it is a dwarf star or star-like (with the possibility of turning into a star with the right ignition). No one is 100% sure on this thing though. But supposedly by 2010 we will be able to see it in the night sky. By 2011 it will be like a 2nd sun. By 2012…?

End of the world, part 2: Wait…there is something else we have to worry about? Yep. But first a quick background/reminder about our galaxy. We live in a solar system with our sun and fellow planets, but outside out solar system is our galaxy. I’m sure you’ve seen pictures of our galaxy before. Well at the center of our Galaxy is a massive black hole (yep so we are screwed anyway…but not for billions and billions of years don’t worry.) We all revolve around our sun which revolves around this black hole. Well in 2012 the sun and the black hole will align with us. Apparently, this is not a good thing. All of that gravity pulling on us will cause some kind of effects here on earth. If the moon (being small in comparison to our sun and this massive black hole) is enough to change the tides on our planet what will the two gravity powers of the sun and the black hole do?
Well Scientists don’t know…There are so many uncertainties that prevent them from accurately judging/calculating anything outside our solar system. That and…well this has never happened before. Most don’t think it will be the end of the world, but some do think “Something” will happen…oh and we will feel it.
End of the world part 3: Oh ya, and there is a big asteroid out there and, yes you guessed it, it is coming right for us.
Other than all those 2012 should be a good year.
For more info (as I just literally touched on everything) google 2012, youtube 2012, wiki 2012.
Have a good end of the world ^.^
