End of Days

[EndLightEnd]

Is it just me or have other people noticed that there seems to be much more talk these days of the end of the world? Its probably just people assuming 2012 will be the date.

Either way this scare does serve a useful purpose, it seems to me that humanity is finally starting to realize how vulnerable we are. Its almost like a global awareness is dawning that there are many ways to cause mass extinction and its only a matter of time when the next one occurs (ignoring the fact scientists say we are in a mass extinction right now caused by human factors).

But the scary part is that our sun is going to approach and cross the galactic plane in 2012, something which has not happened in humanities history and we dont know what effects this will have if any.

Thoughts?

Where did you hear that?

I thought the Sun was already approximately in the galactic plane.

People have always thought the end was right around the corner. Remember Y2K? The same thing happened with Y1K. There is no more talk of it now than there ever has been. Most religious prophesies also say something similar about it coming just when no one thinks its going to come. I am somewhat confident that nothing will happen in 2012. Why? Because so many people think that something will happen...

[Newkel]

About what would happen on 2012?? Sound fascinating but a bit scary. Imagine we will all die!! But, based on what I have read and observe, it's kinda true though..

Do anyone of you know about Planet X?? It's the kind of dwarf that is approaching the solar system.. That's why when you use some telescope programme, you can notice that some part of the space is blocked by a square black box.. So obvious that you can it actually stir your interest to check it out rather than ignoring it.. The question is why is it blocked? Is it related to something that none of the commoner like us should know about it? Is it the habitat of the aliens?

SOme predicition is that once the planet is apporaching the earth.. It will cause gravititional change.. And most likely some calamity like earthquake.. tsunami or even.. (some unknown phenomenon that we have not seen in our life)..

Dying? Ooo.. Don worry.. A prophet says that 10% of the human population would survive the blow.. Could it be anyone of us here? Who knows?

Thoughts?

its a regression of society, world society is going through phases...depression and upheaval. That is all this is. All ages have experienced this mentality.

There is an explanation on what is going to happen on 2012. I'm not going to tout and yell like some loon who saw Jesus in a cracker, but there is real mathematical fervor over this coming event. You can find it on you tube. I can't yet post links but I am sure you can figure it out. Basically "planet-x" with a exaggerated oval-like orbit is going to cross through our orbit and cause solar and magnetic problems for our planet. Meanwhile our entire solar system is going to be aligned with the galactic center which will cause erratic solar flares. Obviously this event is not certain, nothing ever is... but it is quite interesting to see what will take place in the next 4 years.

[krokah]

I was under the impression that the polarity of the earth is going to switch in 2012 as well as earth lining up with the galactic center. I'm going to have plenty of popcorn and soda sitting in a lawn chair with telescope at ready.

All the stuff on Youtube about it is done by hippies, wackos and morons. I guarentee that none of then know any astrophysics at all.

Absolutely nothing of that kind will happen over the next 4 years which doesn't happen usually anyway.

[Foxus]

Hardly hippies, wackos and morons considering planet x itself was found and documented by NASA itself. The people that postulated this mathematical certainty are the same ones that have been explaining what may happen.

Dr. Robert S. Harrington who was chief astronomer of the U.S. Naval Observatory found and analyzed its trajectory but was denied a public disclosure and then died before he could publish anything about it. look him up.

I would think that it is you. I read so much and hear allot about going to Mars, or the Moon with humans . I read much about space and watch the ISS being built by a hanbdfull of countries. I see many ventures into exploration of space as well as the Earth. I guess if you don't want to see things you never will.

[Letticia]

People have always thought the end was right around the corner. Remember Y2K? The same thing happened with Y1K.

Same thing? You mean, people worried their abacuses would seize up because beads only went up to 999?

[skaught]

Yeah genius...

I wasn't referring to the Y2K computer crash, just the widespread belief that the world would end in 2000, whatever the cause.

People believed the same thing about Y1K.

I am well aware of these things. I am a little confused on how this relates to the end of days?

[Simon Anders]

Which religions are we comparing?

[EndLightEnd]

All and any that have a doomsday scenario.

Also some food for thought I also found out that our sun will reach the peak of its solar cycle in 2012.

[Jozen-Bo]

Its certainly fun to look into the future and see what the possibilities are! Anyone think there is a chance that something really freaky and unsuspected may occur? I keep seeing some real strange stuff up ahead...its going to be good times yeah!

The Japs are starting to talk about it now.

:bugeye:

That is rather fishy, do you think they offed him to prevent a wide scale global panic?

[EndLightEnd]

I wouldnt doubt it.

But using the "standard proto-planetary formation" theory does NOTHING to explain Neptune's retrograde orbit. Something MASSIVE changed its orbit so its like nothing else in the solar system orbit wise.

[Gently Passing]

Because "the world" of 2000 years ago was "me and the few thousand others who look like me."

And indeed genocide has occurred. "Worlds", as in Empires, Kingdoms and Civilizations have collapsed - the Chinese several times over. The Mayans, the Incas and the Aztecs also. Rome crumbled as we all know.

None of these prophecies can possibly refer to the planet or the galaxy as they did not even have the level of intellectual sophistication to understand these concepts yet.

Environmental protests are becoming more frequent & strident in China, despite state media blackouts. The country has, according to World Bank research, 16 of the 20 worst polluted cities IN THE WORLD....Even the Chinese gov't admits to major Chinese urban/rural industrial water pollution accidents every 2-3 days. In a damning cover up the Chinese government has used its involvement in a World Bank report on the environment to conceal that around 750,000 people in China die prematurely each year due to pollution....A further 300,000 people thought to be killed by exposure to poor air indoors...another 60,000 deaths to poor water quality, largely in countryside leading to severe diarrhoea & stomach, liver & bladder cancers [thus, in all, with solvable air & water pollution, well over a million Chinese killed by their one-party state's international corporatist developmental model annually]....


"The World Bank was told that it could not publish this information. It was too sensitive and could cause social unrest," one adviser to the study told the Financial Times....."We don't need GDP. We need life." Not a slogan from the anti-G8 protests in Germany this week, though it might have been. The words appear in the closing titles of an online video manifesto [below] from China--part Lao Tzu, part Naomi Klein--that may mark an unlikely shift in attitudes among the country's youth,....Remember that the Green Party came out of terrible industrial pollution of Germany; given that China is hundreds of times worse, expect China's Green values starting to be a hundred times stronger.... Chinese "networked protesters...spread news of upcoming protests by SMS, Twitter updates & online bulletin boards" in attempts to get around their one-party state's 'Great Firewall of China', a totalitarian firewall courtesy of equally totalitarian Bill Gates & Microsoft.

What a mess...

Many people call this event that's coming a "singularity"
A change so profound you won't be able to recognized the world after, from the world before it.

Many have different views how this will happen.
- The advance of A.I.
- Human genetics.
- Alien intervention.
- The return of an openly visible government of God.
- Technological increase, wormholes, time travel, exotic mater etc...

All of these possible causes yield the same result.
The time of mortal man's reign as we know it is over.
The time of God(s) reign on the earth starts....(again?)
Perhaps the time of man was just an experiment, an exposition....a contest.
The rules of which set a certain time allowed for the drama to play out.
Then it is over.
Not the end of the world....or life on it.
Just the end of this way of it.
