2012 - The Apocalypse!??

Hey Folks,

As we all are aware of the belief that the world comes to an end on December 21st, 2012. There have been many theories that have been put forth as proofs for this belief. One theory is that the ever known Mayan calendar..! 

According to this theory, the world will come to an end on December 21, 2012. Archaeologists say that the Mayans have already predicted the end of the World. In their calendar, the long count period is coming to an end on Dec 21, 2012. On Dec 22nd, it again starts its count from first. Actually, in the calendar, they is no point where there is inscription of the start of next long count. Its just ends there. Actually, there was a havoc being created way back in 2000 that the world will end in 2000. Its exactly similar to that. That is, after 98, 99 when the number ascends it goes to 00 and then all those dates comes after that went logically wrong as the convention of representing the dates were in 2 digits. So, according to the Mayan civilization and their methodology o f numbering, they just stop their calculation there or probably they might have found or calculated only till that point. Hence, according to me, the theory based on Mayan Calendar is a humbug!

Now here comes the next theory, the planet Nibiru. this has an orbit of 3600 years. That is the revolution for this planet is 3600 years. Believers in the doomsday conspiracy say refer to this planet and tell this will hit the Earth on Dec 21, 2012. Zecahria Stichin have released a book on this, The 12th Planet, where he had told about this Planet Nibiru which passes the Earth every 3600 years. Leider, who found out the connection claimed that this Planet will hit Planet Earth on Dec 21, 2012. But Mr Stichin who died in 2010 stated that the Planet was once seen in 566 BC. So. adding a 3600 to that, the Planet can next be seen in 2900 AD [Courtesy: Wikipedia]. In case, if the planet was to hit the Earth on the specified date, it should have been visible by now in the sky as a giant red ball. Till now I am searching for it. 

The next theory is the Sun's alignment in the Winter Solstice. I am clear with this concept and the explanation  of what they provide on this as The Sun will align itself in the Winter Solstice in the same way for every Winter season. 

The next theory is Pole Shift. This theory was proposed by Mr. Albert Einstein. He didn mention as an act for the Dec 21, 2012 thing. But he had predicted the pole shift for the Earth. This is a hypothesis which claims that there will be a shift in the position of poles and the axial rotation of the Earth. Scientists have researched and analysed the cause of the Floods, Volcanic Eruptions and Earthquakes as they are the consequence of minute changes in poles. If a minute change can cause such large quakes and Tsunamis, What will the consequence of the Shift of Poles. And of course, people attributed this to Dec 21, 2012. But what scientists claim is that even for a minute change in the Pole it will take years. So, the concept of Pole Shifting also fails here.

Now this gets more interesting. The Solar Flares. 

These are the effects of the unpredictable reactions taking place in the sun. A solar Flare is sudden brightening on the surface of the Sun or Sun's outer limb which can be interpreted as large release of energy up to 6 * 10^25 Joules of Energy ( a sixth of total output of Sun's Energy per second) [Courtesy: Wikipedia]. When this hits the Earth, it cuts down the Electromagnetic radiations. People may ask, "So What?"

Cutting down the Electromagnetic radiation can only be done by destroying the Electromagnetic [EM] field. When this happens, all those communications, both phone and internet will not function. They will be absolutely zero possibility of transmitting or transferring power or electricity. Hence, the whole world stumbles. Not only that, when the EM field is destroyed, the UV radiations enter the earth and burn everything down. Within days, we will be back to the stone age Gentlemen! And don't think that this cannot happen. The Flares had already struck Earth once. It was not massive though. It struck Mercury and in 2 minutes, in only 120 seconds, it hit the Earth. Sunlight takes 8 minutes to reach the Earth. But this is only in 2 minutes. When its massive, the Sky will turn Red, internet will be wiped and the Earth paralyzed. Not only that, when the EM field is destroyed, there will be massive discharge of lightning resulting in Super Storm devastating the whole Earth. The only peace is that this will attack the places that are vulnerable, but not all. The Earth will look like this when attacked by a Solar Flare.

Among all the theories, the Solar Flare is the only one that is terrorizing us. Not necessarily, that this should happen on Dec 21, 2012. 

So, Will the World End in 2012? 

Waiting to celebrate the new year 2013, with crates of Beer! 

Trusting in HIM and Hoping for the Best!
