Of course it won't. Why would any rational person think the world will end in 2012 when there isn't any scientific evidence to support any of these ridiculous claims:

- Planet X/Nibiru is supposed to hit us (but… it doesn't even exist).

- Pole shifts are supposed to destroy the magnetic field (but… pole shifts take thousands of years to happen, not a few years).

- The sun is supposed to align with the galactic plane (but… that happens every December, why would it be a problem in 2012?)

- The planets are all supposed to align (but… that can't happen ever, its not likely it will happen in 2012).

- The "end" of the Mayan calendar (but… it isn't ending, its just moving to the next cycle like our calendar does every year on Dec 31).

- Comet Elenin will destroy us (but….its only 4 km across, it won’t get any closer than 35 million kilometres or about as close as the planet Venus gets, and it will be gone by 2012)



Its a hoax that started in 2003 – I am surprised that some people still don’t get that.

it is possible for many reasons many scientists believe it is possible, although it is possible for the world to end anytime. I don't think that the world will end in 2012 but i think that there will be several large natural disasters or one huge natural disaster. If not there could be terrorist attacks creating new wars and causing more bloodshed. I think the best reason for why the world could end is to do with solar flares created by the sun these can strike satilites and destroy communication, this has happened many times before but just on a fairly small scale. The sun go's though a constant cycle where these solar flares increase and decrease, 2012 will be its highest point. There is also a problem with space junk that could damage or destroy satilites meaning that communication would break down and very quickly life would spiral out of control especially in the less developed countries which could not cope with this as well. This loss of communication would disrupt world trading therefore triggering another world recession. Basically there are many reasons and most people don't tend to know.

"The Mayans lived about 3,000 years ago. They had this great technology and mathematics. We people today cannot recreate the great buildings they constructed because their knowledge was lost over time. They made highly accurate calenders that astronomers conquer with today. They calculated the great galactic alignment that is going to happen on the Winter Solstice of 2012. (December 21st) The called this alignment the cosmic mother and could foresee a black hole. Guess what? There's a black hole in the center of the milky way galaxy. This video actually says this alignment happens every 25,000 years. Their calender was more precise than our calender today. It is a prophetic calender. They even predicted the coming of Cortes and his conquistadors arrived on the precise date of March 5, 1519. (they'd predicted white skinned bearded Gods would arrive from ac cross the sea) They arrived to the new world on that precise date. They predict the end of the world as we know it on Kuhnabku. (12, 21, 2012) It's an alignment that happens once every 13,000 years. The last time we the Earth had this same alignment it was the year 11,000 BCE. The center of the Milky Way galaxy is in alignment and In the sky the Sign Sagittarius is pointing his arrow to the center of the Milky Way galaxy Ophiuchus. Ophiuchus is the 13th sign, the secret sign. He was recently discovered. Like Jesus and the 12 disciples, Arther and the 12 members of the round table, Ophiuchus (the serpent holder) rules the 12 zodiac signs. Ophiuchus crosses the celestial equator just at the point where the center of the galaxy meets the celestial equator. The dark rift (center of milky way galaxy) is located in between Sagittarius and Scorpio. The great alignment will occur when the Sun rises in perfect alignment with the center of the galaxy. (Ophiuchus is the center of the Milky Way Galaxy) The Mayans aren't' the only ones that predicted these end of times. Other cultures from around the world throughout time all point to the year 2012. Cultures include The Hopi Indians, The Chinese Oracle the I-Ching, Ancient Oracles, Nostradamus, The Egyptians, WEB-BOT (a computer people made to predict the stock market) and more. Even Einstein said "when the bees disappear people will have four years to live." Bees are disappearing. People depend on bees for their food!!!!! The bible even has hints. Jesus said "I will return when men fly in the sky like birds and ride horseless carriages." Not only have all of these different people from around the world throughout time predicted and prophesied that this coming judgment, doomsday, and/or Apocalypse is going to happen, but there is scientific evidence that the poles are due for a switch. Yep. The Earth is losing its magnetism. It's the calm before the storm. (geophysicists) These poles switch every 4,195 years. If this switch happens rapidly it means world wide disaster and extinction of species. This switch will cause earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, tsunamis, and think about it. If the poles are on a different place on the globe it will change the way hurricanes are. On the Northern hemisphere they rotate clockwise and on the Southern clockwise. (or visa versa I'm not sure) Also, the Earth isn't a perfect sphere. It obtrudes in the middle. It is on the momentum. If the poles switch this momentum will be disrupted. It's like when your spinning a glass of wine and you suddenly make it spin the other way. It splashes. Also, solar storms are supposed to happen which will make us not have any electricity or phone connection or tv or internet or anything like that because our satellites will be destroyed. Geometry is a universal language. Even if you don't understand it on a conscious level you will understand it on a subconscious level. People only use about 10% of their brain. Look at crop circles. Are these beings trying to warn us? There's no way man can make these crop circles. Not to mention we're supposed to be able to talk to beings from other dimensions. I don't fully understand that yet. The lost books of Nostradamus actually talk about the coming of the Antichrist. So does the bible. Look up Edgar Casey too.

Short Answer: NO



Long Answer:

Print this answer and keep it in your diary until Christmas 2012.



All this nonsense about 2012 was started because of the Mayan Calender.

The World will NOT come to an end just because of the end of the Long Count on the Mayan Calender. Misinterpretation of the Mayan Long Count calendar is the basis for a New Age belief that a cataclysm will take place on December 21, 2012.

December 21, 2012 is simply the day that the calendar will have to begin again from the 1st Baktun.

Refer to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maya_calendar for more detail on the Calender.



Another Doomsday prediction is about the Apophis Asteroid.

Asteroid Apophis is a Near-Earth asteroid that caused a brief period of concern in December 2004. Initial observations indicated a small probability that it would strike Earth in 2029. Additional observations provided improved predictions that eliminated the possibility of an impact in 2029. However, a possibility remained that during the 2029 close encounter; Apophis would pass through a gravitational keyhole and alter its course which would set up a future impact on APRIL 13th 2036.

Further observations in 2006 and 2009 have the odds of an impact at 1 in 250,000. It will be worth watching as it fly’s by at 18,000 miles.



This is the astronomy calendar for December 2012:

December 3rd - Jupiter at Opposition. Closest approach to Earth.

December 13th - New Moon

December 13th and 14th - Geminids Meteor Shower. Yearly event

December 21 - Winter Solstice - Shortest Day of the Year in the Northern Hemisphere.

December 21 - End of Mayan Calendar Long Count (5125 years) and the beginning of the next long count.

December 25 – Christmas Day.

December 28 - Full Moon.



1. President Obama will get re-elected.

2. The Tea Party will get unselected.

3. The Olympics in London.

4. Total Solar Eclipse of the Sun on 13 Nov. visible from Cairns Australia.

5. The end of the Mayan Long Count Calender on 21 Dec and the Beginning of a new Long Count Calender on 22 December.

6. A lot of disappointed people because the world did not end. They will have to come up with a new HOAX to pull off.

7. We will all have a Birthday Party.

8. Christmas Day on 25 Dec.

9. Celebrate the new year on 1 Jan 2012 and start the party on 31 DEC for the next year 2013.

About the Moon Landings:

There were six successful manned missions to the moon. I always say that the BEST evidence for doubters is this: Russia and the US were in an intensive and expensive space race to the moon during those Cold War years. Both sides despised each other. Yet, the Russians conceded defeat that the US beat them to the moon (the USSR tracked every single mission--there and back of US space craft). If we had been perpetrating a hoax, the USSR would have been ALL OVER the US by revealing and discrediting any bogus claim of landing on the moon. The USSR was able to get equipment to safely touch down on the moon (including a robotic rover; betcha didn't know Russia has abandoned equipment on the moon did you?), but they just couldn't get a man up there before the US did.



Then there are the tens of thousands of people and scientists who worked on the missions. It isn't even feasible that all those people could participate in a conspiracy and coverup and keep it secret all these years. Hey, but to each his own. The evidence is there. Oh, yeah...forgot to mention that left a device up there that is still being used by scientists here on earth. It's a mirror that reflects laser light to determine the moon's distance from earth





MILITARY:

It's the Soldier, not the reporter

Who has given us the Freedom of the Press.

It's the Soldier, not the poet,

Who has given us the Freedom of Speech.

It's the Soldier, not the politicians

That ensures our right to Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness..

It's the Soldier who salutes the flag,

Who serves beneath the flag,

And whose coffin is draped by the flag.





Astronomers monitoring Comet Elenin have noticed the comet has decreased in brightness the past week, and the coma is now elongating and diffusing. Some astronomers predict the comet will disintegrate and not survive perihelion, its closest approach to the Sun.



On August 19, a massive solar flare and coronal mass ejection hit the comet, which may have been the beginning of the end for the much ballyhooed lump of ice and dirt.



Elenin is no danger what so ever to earth.

In a galaxy far, far away the inhabitants live virtually forever and have perfect memories.



Amazingly, this has its disadvantages. Everyone knows every joke that has ever been invented in that galaxy, and since the civilisation is very old, new jokes are now very scarce. So these poor aliens have been short of a laugh for centuries.



Since well before the incident at Roswell, New Mexico, the inhabitants of this galaxy have been scouting this planet. After decades of investigations, which of course are nothing to them, they made a decision and began to implant selected people about 20 years ago.



Beginning on the International Date Line at midnight on 20 December 2012, a specially tuned matter transference beam will begin to pick up implanted humans for instantaneous translation to the far galaxy. They will not feel a thing. Among those selected are fundamentalist Christians and Muslims, believers in the Bermuda triangle, Neo-Nazis, soccer fans, those who hold that the Moon landings were a hoax, Scientologists, 9/11 truthers, management consultants, astrologers, skinheads, Wiccans, heavy metal freaks and sundry other cultists. This of course is the prophesied "Rapture".



The destination will be a rather comfortable human-compatible planet in an isolated part of the far galaxy. Every room and street, field and forest of this planet is fitted up with holographic cameras and ultra fidelity microphones.



The lives of these humans will be transmitted instantaneously around this galaxy far, far away and the poor old aliens will finally have something to laugh at.

Is your brain feeling... less than fresh? When you talk to people, do they back away slowly, refusing to make eye contact?



Perhaps you are a loon.



Here in 2011, being a loon isn't as devastating a condition as it once was. There are no Loon Colonies anymore and Bedlam is just a bunch of heavily-medicated people in slippers.



We embrace our modern "loonies". When they say "Bigfoot ate my roses." or "Elvis poured me a Slurpee" we just smile, slip them a dollar and tell them to please leave us alone.



The one exception is the 2012 loon. He is proud of his lunacy, proclaiming for all and sundry his belief that next year will be his last. Sure, the demise of "Judgment Day 2011" was embarrassing, but the True Loon shrugs off these set-backs and explains that 2012 isn't fake like May 21, 2011 was because "2012 hasn't happened yet".



Now, who can argue with that?



If you want to break the cycle of doomies and loonies, just stop by at http://www.2012hoax.org and introduce yourself. "Hi, my name is Bill and I am a Loon." Soon you will be able to rejoin society, holding your head up high, as you return to your job working the fryer at McDonald's.

It won't end in 2012, but, something will happen in that year.

11 is asociated with a certain "society", 2012 is 11 years after the September Incident. To which, the government did not allow for investigators to do what they do best, investigate!



There are always clues the years or year before of what the next will bring. Such as, the September Incidents which had clues and hints of such attacks that ended up being ignored by officials. Till it was "too late."

Enjoy, with eyes wide shut.
