Is It The End of The World?

Three predictions are presented for what may cause the end of the world in 2012: 1) Natural phenomena such as massive solar flares or a geomagnetic pole reversal triggered by solar activity. 2) Speculation that the Mayan calendar predicts cataclysmic events or the end of the world in 2012. 3) Increased solar storms bombarding the Earth with radiation energy, predicted to peak in 2012, could potentially end life on Earth.

There are speculations that three years from now, all
life on Earth could well finish.

Some are saying it'll be humans that set it off. Others


believe that a natural phenomenon will be the cause.
And the religious folks are saying it'll be God himself
who presses the stop button...

The first mob to predict
The Mayan Calendar 2012 as the end of the
world were the Mayans.

Mayans is noted for their


ability in building highly
accurate astrological
equipment out of stone

Thousands of years ago


they managed to calculate
the length of the lunar
moon as 329.53020 days,
only 34 seconds out.

The Mayan calendar predicts that the Earth will
end on December 21, 2012.

Given that they were pretty close to the mark


with the lunar cycle, it's likely they've got the
end of the world right as well…

There has been a speculation that a
Planet X; Nibiru, two thirds
earth's size, will pass through our
solar system around 2012 causing
polar axis shifts on earth.  This has
also been linked to some of the
vague prophecies of Nostradamus.

I CHING
Sun Storms
Solar experts from around the world monitoring the sun
have made a startling discovery: our sun is in a bit of
strife. The energy output of the sun is, like most things
in nature, cyclic, and it's supposed to be in the middle of
a period of relative stability. However, recent solar
storms have been bombarding the Earth with so much
radiation energy. This activity is predicted to get worse,
and calculations suggest it'll reach its peak sometime in
2012.
Will this snuff the earth?

One idea involves a geomagnetic reversal
which could be triggered by a massive solar
flare, one with energy equal to 100 million
atomic bombs. This idea is supported by
evidence that the Earth's magnetic field is
weakening, which indicates an impending
reversal of the north and south magnetic poles.

2012 in Fiction
There are numerous fictional references to the year 2012. Many depict the end of the
world occurring in that year, in line with the much-publicised 2012 Doomsday
prediction. Literature, comics, music, film, television, and even games has already
produced and published, increases people’s curiosity of the 2012 Doomsday.
