Is Dec 21 2012 really the date for the End of the World? Why are so many stating that the end is nigh? What evidence is at hand to satisfy these claims that Dec 21 2012 really is the beginning of the end or perhaps the end of the beginning. Will the World really end?
Maybe 2012 will actually be a new dawning, a new Golden Age where humanity will become enlightened and thrive in the 5th Dimension.
When broaching the subject of Dec 21 2012, many people believe that followers of 2012 are simply crackpots, doomsday fantasists, or weirdos who are devoid of any common rationale. After all, look what happened to Y2K – nothing. So what should we be afraid of and what should we be looking out for as Dec 21 2012 draws ever nearer?
Are we really living in a time which many call “The Time of Trial on Earth”, “Judgement Day”, The Quickening”, “The End of Time as We Know It”, and “The Shift of the Ages”?
1. Mayan Calendar
The first to predict 2012 as the end of the world were the Mayans, a Mesoamerican civilization, noted for developing very sophisticated mathematical and astronomical systems.
The Mayan Prophecy - Thousands of years ago they managed to calculate the length of the lunar moon as 329.53020 days, only 34 seconds out. The 13-baktun cycle of the Mayan long count calendar begins on August 11 3114BC and reaches 0 (or 13.0.0.0.0 in the long count) on, you guessed it Dec 21 2012.
2. Winter Solstice
On the winter solstice of 2012, the noonday Sun exactly conjuncts the crossing point of the Sun’s ecliptic with the galactic plane. Whilst also crossing at the exact centre of our Galaxy. The scientific community agree that at the centre of every galaxy lies a black hole. Will our Sun get swallowed up by a black hole as it crosses the centre of our Galaxy in 2012? Only time will tell!
3. Sun Storms
It’s official: Solar minimum has arrived. Sunspots have all but vanished. Solar flares are non-existent. The sun is utterly quiet. Excerpt from NASA.
Is this the quiet before the storm? The Sun’s activity has been at a minimum, it is in a period of relative stability. However, recent solar storms have been bombarding the Earth with so much radiation energy; it’s been knocking out power grids and destroying satellites. This activity is predicted to get worse, and calculations suggest it’ll reach its deadly peak sometime in 2012.
Or could the Sun’s relative inactivity simply be part of the Maunder Minimum, whereby the Sun is merely at the ebb of its 11-year cycle? The funny thing is if this were true, it means the Earth is approaching another Ice Age. So Global Warming believers need not worry.
4. Hadron Collider (LHC)
The LHC otherwise known as the atom smasher or finder of the God Particle is the world’s largest particle accelerator. It spans some 27km underground and when it ‘s fired up to run at full throttle in 2012, it will actually create mini-black holes right here on Earth in an effort to understand what happened right at the start of the Big Bang. Maybe the discovery of the God Particle should be the least of our worries. The scientists assure us that these black holes will only live for a fraction of a second.
The scary truth is that the LHC will become a black-hole factory with a production rate as high as about one black hole per second.Excerpt from CERN Courier
What happens if these black holes don’t collapse?
5. Catastrophic events long overdue
The good folk at The Future Watch have compiled an excellent list detailing possible catastrophic events which could happen at any time. Events such as nano-tech weapons, economic collapse, suicide by strangelet, alien attack – see Drake Equation, and many more factors just go to show how fragile the world really is.

6. Biblical connotations
Interpretations of the Christian Bible reveal that the date for Armageddon, the final battle between Good an Evil, has been set down for 2012. The I Ching, also known as the Chinese book of Changes, says the same thing, as do various sections of the Hindu teachings.
Then we have the Christians, who believe in the second coming of Christ; the Rapture Ready brigade.
You never know, one of us might be the change or the Second Coming of Christ!
Yet another Biblical prophecy was the so-called “mark of the beast’” without which men could not buy or sell; proposed computer chip implants, the ultimate convenience in a cashless society seem to fit this one pretty well, and can serve, at the very least, to track people if not to control
7. Magnetic pole reversal
We all know the Earth is surrounded by a magnetic field. This field shields us from most of the sun’s radiation. What you might not know is that the magnetic poles we call north and south have a nasty habit of swapping places every 750,000 years or so - and right now we’re about 30,000 years overdue.
Scientists have noted that the poles are drifting apart roughly 20-30kms each year, much faster than ever before, which points to a pole-shift being right around the corner. While the pole shift is under way, the magnetic field is disrupted and will eventually disappear, sometimes for up to 100 years. The result is enough UV outdoors to crisp your skin in seconds, killing everything it touches.
8. Population Growth
A recent population growth explosion has occurred over the last few centuries. If the exponential growth continues at this rate, then 2012 will take the form of anarchy on a scale we can only dream of in our worst nightmares.
