5 Reasons Why The World Will Not End In 2012!
Written by Robert Douglas on April 3rd, 2010 in Columns, Gossip/Rumors, World, WTF, News.
Will the world end in 2012? Well let’s break down 5 possible reasons why 2012 will not be the end of the World as we know it. Hold on to your seats as you’re taken through a scientific journey into 2012.
Remember the Y2K scare? Everyone and their momma’s were bracing for a worldwide computer crash that could’ve set off nuclear missiles, ending life on earth, but nothing happened. Why? Because of adequate planning and analysis of the situation?
NASA scientists have studied Earth long enough to know this. The world will not end on Dec. 21, 2012 despite what the Mayan calendar shows us.
Here’s 5 reasons why:
1. Just like Y2K, 2012 has been analyzed as well and the science of the end of the Earth has been studied thoroughly. So when asked if the Mayan calendar is true, here’s what scientists at NASA have to say:
“Just as the calendar you have on your kitchen wall does not cease to exist after December 31, the Mayan calendar does not cease to exist on December 21, 2012. This date is the end of the Mayan long-count period but then, just as your calendar begins again on January 1, another long-count period begins for the Mayan calendar.”
2. When asked could some kind of phenomena occur where planets align in a way that could impact Earth, Nasa says no, not in the next few decades anyway.
“There are no planetary alignments in the next few decades, Earth will not cross the galactic plane in 2012, and even if these alignments were to occur, their effects on the Earth would be negligible. Each December the Earth and sun align with the approximate center of the Milky Way Galaxy but that is an annual event of no consequence.”
3. Will Planet X or Eris approach the Earth and threaten our planet with destruction?
“Nibiru and other stories about wayward planets are an Internet hoax. There is no factual basis for these claims. If Nibiru or Planet X were real and headed for an encounter with the Earth in 2012, astronomers would have been tracking it for at least the past decade, and it would be visible by now to the naked eye. Obviously, it does not exist. Eris is real, but it is a dwarf planet similar to Pluto that will remain in the outer solar system; the closest it can come to Earth is about 4 billion miles.”
4. When asked if the Earth is in danger of being hit by a meteor in 2012? It is unlikely.
“The Earth has always been subject to impacts by comets and asteroids, although big hits are very rare. The last big impact was 65 million years ago, and that led to the extinction of the dinosaurs. Today NASA astronomers are carrying out a survey called the Spaceguard Survey to find any large near-Earth asteroids long before they hit. We have already determined that there are no threatening asteroids as large as the one that killed the dinosaurs. All this work is done openly with the discoveries posted every day on the NASA NEO Program Office website, so you can see for yourself that nothing is predicted to hit in 2012.”
5. Is there a danger from giant solar storms predicted for 2012? Uhh uhh.
“Solar activity has a regular cycle, with peaks approximately every 11 years. Near these activity peaks, solar flares can cause some interruption of satellite communications, although engineers are learning how to build electronics that are protected against most solar storms. But there is no special risk associated with 2012. The next solar maximum will occur in the 2012-2014 time frame and is predicted to be an average solar cycle, no different than previous cycles throughout history.
Convinced yet?
NASA says, “Where is the science? Where is the evidence? There is none, and for all the fictional assertions, whether they are made in books, movies, documentaries or over the Internet, we cannot change that simple fact. There is no credible evidence for any of the assertions made in support of unusual events taking place in December 2012.”
There you have it. Five reasons why the world will not end in 2012!

glad to see someone else isn’t getting dragged into all the 2012 hype

NASA is governement owned. How much do you trust the US government with vital information? If NASA were to say yes it will be the end then can you imagine the chaos that would cause? The History Channel goes on and on about ‘the end is near’ but then again they’re just a tv channel wanting ratings. So who do you trust? both sources would lie to us without a doubt. I say, take a look at the natural disasters occuring, there have been several already, and in my opinion if they continue to arise with more frequency, along with more war, and disease to plague us then something may be on it’s way to planet earth. Who knows…

to the author of this article. can you please explain to me what i am seeing in the evening skies then? what is that red ball that is just beside the sun? there is definately something out there. nibiru is not a hoax.
April 21st, 2010 at 4:26 pm
i would really love to see how people explain that one away. its easy to brush off such events as paranoia, but, this is something else. its beyond our understanding.
April 21st, 2010 at 11:20 pm
It’s like being on Titanic, everyone’s led to believe nothing’s wrong, until it’s too late.
The media and the government is covering it all up to prevent a panic.
I suggest watching this video in its entirely, it all makes sense and connects the dots. You must free your mind.

I’d name your blog the dreamland! While Santa knocks at our door simply once per year, you blog is open the entire year - wow! Thank you.
May 4th, 2010 at 1:22 am
whether it’s true or not, we should be prepared. Who knows? maybe NASA is just preventing people from getting panic. All we really need to do is to pray. pray for ourselves, others, and pray that the 2010 end of the world is not true…
June 18th, 2010 at 12:08 am
I had read this whole article and it has been very informative for me. As we know it’s just s rumor but still i believe that we should be prepared for it. In this article the reasons described really very well. NASA is great, i am sure people need not to much worry about this.
June 18th, 2010 at 2:20 am
Wow nice jokes and this is very often to listen that NASA declare this kind of things.Thanks for the nice post and keep blogging.Wana some information on architecture books..
June 20th, 2010 at 5:36 pm
been following your blog for 3 days now and i should say i am starting to like your post. and now how
July 2nd, 2010 at 6:36 pm
you can get the actual facts here
July 16th, 2010 at 4:44 am
Thanks for your post, so I leave a mark here.
August 25th, 2010 at 9:36 pm
Have you ever thought about adding a little bit more than just your thoughts? I mean, what you say is important and everything. But its got no punch, no pop! You could have such a more powerful blog if you let people SEE what youre talking about instead of just reading it.

If you believe in God then you would care less whether the world will end today, later or tomorrow.

we’re overlooking the real enemy here,

thats in the same genre as 2012, silly. use your brain.
use SCIENCE.

I really agree on the five reason that you have shared in your post. This is really something that no one knows that when will the earth end and i am quite sure that only “God” knows about it. Thanks for the nice post….
November 11th, 2010 at 5:09 am
I am glad that the world is not going to end in 2012 and it will surely going to live as along as “GOD” wants it to live. I am going to tell about your post to those who have believe that its going to end…..
November 13th, 2010 at 10:31 pm
Right. You’re all assuming that the mayan calendar is true because of one coincidental incident (you know what it is, I don’t. I don’t care). Where is your proof that the mayan calendar is true in predicting the world will end in 2012?
“to the author of this article. can you please explain to me what i am seeing in the evening skies then? what is that red ball that is just beside the sun? there is definately something out there. nibiru is not a hoax.”
Faggot. That’s sunset. If not, there is a scientific reason for that. Please research before asking stupid questions.
“It’s like being on Titanic, everyone’s led to believe nothing’s wrong, until it’s too late.
The media and the government is covering it all up to prevent a panic.”
Titanic. It’s a bloody movie. It is based on a true story, yes, but how much actually happened in the movie was actually true? You don’t know, do you? As for your second argument, it is a possibility, but I’m pretty sure you’ve just watched too many movies.
“If you believe in God then you would care less whether the world will end today, later or tomorrow.”
Yes, spot on.
November 13th, 2010 at 10:32 pm
As for the the article, you just proved five things, five things out of an infinite possibilites of which could destroy our world. Nice work,very nice work.
November 15th, 2010 at 4:03 pm
Yeah, I can also say the world wont end in 2010 cause when it does i’ll be gone and no one can say you were wrong…. just saying….
November 17th, 2010 at 3:34 am
If the NASA says the solar storm is not to be feared then why would they publish this: https://science.nasa.gov/science-news/science-at-nasa/2006/10mar_stormwarning/
It won’t be the end of the world but I do believe there will be serious trouble with all electronics going crazy and power stations over-heating and having to shut down….
It would all be for a better world anyway….. Enjoy!
December 2nd, 2010 at 1:08 am
It`s just a rumor , this kind of things will be heard after 2012 too , they will find another year to talk about.
December 5th, 2010 at 4:25 pm
LOL, you need to get your head out of all the fear the media and scientists generate. The world will end when God says it will end. Not when NASA says, not when the Mayan calendar says. Don’t live in fear.
December 7th, 2010 at 3:17 pm
I wonder what the furthest away year already printed by hallmark’s calendar production factories is? Then the ‘next’ people will dig them up from the ancient date keepers record keeping tomb with the mysterious machinery and say, shit, the world’s ending in !!!!
December 9th, 2010 at 3:16 am
“Who knows? maybe NASA is just preventing people from getting panic”
That doesn’t make a whole lot of sense. It’s not like NASA wants to see the end of the world. And if something was happening, don’t you think they would do what they can to prevent it? They would need to put so much to work, that it would be hard to keep secret.
Outside of NASA there are hundreds (at least) of stargazers around the world, that are hoping they will discover some new star or planet. Now if they saw something, they would storm to the media and smile. “I discovered ——-”.
Instead focus on what you can do. Treat the environment well and do what you can to prevent global warming. Oh and that’s not something they are covering up. They are literally saying we have to treat the planet well or it will end up hurting us.
