2012 Doomsday Myths

The end of the world is near--December 21, 2012, to be exact--according to theories based on a purported ancient Maya prediction and fanned by the marketing machine behind the soon-to-be-released 2012 movie. (See "2012 Prophecies Sparking Real Fears, Suicide Warnings
.")

In some 2012 doomsday prophecies, the Earth becomes a deathtrap as it
undergoes a "pole shift," courtesy of an asteroid impact (illustrated
above), a rare alignment with the center of the Milky Way, and/or
massive solar radiation destabilizing the inner Earth by heating it.

The planet's crust and mantle will suddenly shift, spinning around
Earth's liquid-iron outer core and sending cities crashing into the
sea. (Interactive: pole shift theories illustrated.)


Princeton University geologist Adam Maloof has extensively studied pole shifts, and tackles this 2012 myth in 2012: Countdown to Armageddon, a National Geographic Channel documentary airing Sunday, November 8.

Maloof says magnetic evidence in rocks confirms that continents have
undergone such drastic rearrangement, but the process took millions of
years--slow enough that humanity wouldn't have felt the motion (quick guide to plate tectonics).

I can be sure the world won't end in 2012, positive!

That's the point !

2012 won't happen

Meh, all useless things. NASA has made it clear enough that nothing will happen. On top of that, I'm watching 2012 right now, covered 1/10 of it, and I'm finding it boring. (You'll not understand some part of the thins as the person comes to India, and the background speeches are in Hindi.
-- I'm an Indian and I know how to speak and understand Hindi.)

Edit : Forget about the above paragraph, NOW IT'S FREAKING ME OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Note : I know this movie isn't released yet, but there is a sourve in the net where you can get English movies even before they release!

Edit : I've completed watching the movie, and I will give it 100/100 stars.

i saw it 2, was worth the watch...

It's pretty interesting as to why there is so much hype over this 2012 crap! You know in 2003 they also predicted that it was going to be the end of the world.

Oh well, another crap creating a horror about 2010!
Maybe these movie people have no profit in their buisness, so they are making these s**t..

ULTRA EDIT : I just realised, there was NO asteroid fall in the 2012 movie..

Now look..

the difference between 2012 the book and film, the 2012 movie experience..

The Movie experience, is based on true possibilities.. the movie is based on what Hollywood likes..

Well, the Mayans didn't exactly PREDICT that the world would end in 2012.
They just didnt write the calendar for 2012.
Like, if we printed calenders until 3012, and after we died, a new generation saw them, they would think the world would end at 3012 simple because we did not print it.
Same goes for Mayans. They only wrote the calendar for 2012, and discontinued writing it.

The world ending in 2012 is BS, and even if it DOES end, it'll be kind of fun, like riding a roller coaster.

The movie was just to make kids pee in their pants.

I watched History Channel and they said that even if the world wouldn't end in 2012, there would be a huge scale global disaster. Disasters happen, but the world won't end in 2012.

Saying it won't happen: If it doesn't happen then you don't look stupid, if you're wrong everybody will already be dead and can't tell you that you are wrong.

Ugh... Propaganda. That's all anything is today. Just another marketing tool. 2012 the movie was so BS it was funny to me.
