There is a lot of talk about dec. 21, 2012. People say that the world is going to end, or there is going to be a major change such as the world starting over through some huge natural disaster or something. Even scientist are saying that on that date, the earth does something that only happens once every 26,000 odd years.
Most people believe that the world isn't going to end. Just everything in it. In other words, almost every living thing will be destroyed by some type of natural disaster. It has been said that earth goes through a "cleansing" mode every 26,000 years and starts over. Could that mean that the remaining humans start over?
It kind of makes you wonder about Atlantis, since they were considered very advanced in technology, and there have been ancient artifacts found that look very similar to airplanes and helicopters.

until it happens then don't worry about it. i guess the earth has missed out on it's 26,000 year cycle for a long time as man & his ancestors have been around for almost 2 million years. then you have all the other species of life that have been around for millions of years.

I'm not a big doomsday type person but 1 night a couple of months ago I caught a show on the History Channel talking about this.
It was pretty compelling and interesting.
On that day it has something to do w/ the earth's alignment w/ a black hole and the sun (? - I think it was) that only happens every 250,000 or so years. I feel asleep before I caught the whole
thing :)
The show was Decoding The Past

The Mayan calendar predicts an "end of days" in December 2012. Some speculate that a magnetic pole reversal may occur then....

Yes bilbo that is correct.
We all know the Earth is surrounded by a magnetic field that shields us from most of the sun's radiation. What you might not know is that the magnetic poles we call north and south have a nasty habit of swapping places every 750,000 years or so - and right now we're about 30,000 years overdue. Scientists have noted that the poles are drifting apart roughly 20-30kms each year, much faster than ever before, which points to a pole-shift being right around the corner. While the pole shift is underway, the magnetic field is disrupted and will eventually disappear, sometimes for up to 100 years. The result is enough UV outdoors to crisp your skin in seconds, killing everything it touches.
Scary stuff

> Some astronomers say that it might trigger a shift of the earth's magnetic poles
Would those be the same "astronomers" which predicted all sorts of consequences as a result of SL9 slamming into Jupiter?
I can see a few wacko astrologers and other assorted mystics trying to get some "me" time in the media from this, but any serious astronomer - gimme a break.
> It talked about the Mayan calendar and that it abruptly ends in 2012. The winter solstice to be exact.
Or the guy who chiselled the information into the rock just got bored.
> so I'd not start spending those life savings in the knowledge you're not going to need them.
I'm happy to take "donations" from anyone who believes they're not going to need the money
> I saw that show on the History channel. It didn't say that 2012 will be the apocalypse but rather was clear to say it won't be the end of the world but rather the end of the world as we know it, and that we're going to be entering a whole new era. (I vote for an agrarian revolution)

They've survived 20 years past their useful date already, and there's only 30 to go.
No sign in any slowdown in lazy profs teaching with museum tools.
and.. ad infinitum

Start over? Like, Windows 95's? :O

Even Scientists?! Oh dear: perchance, the same scientists who said we'd all be driving hover cars by now? I could go on. This just gets more and more ridiculous. The moral of the story, kids - think.
Don't say I don't teach you anything ;)

Kids, hey? :p
Sorry to sound cynical, but its common sense that when you hear something that sounds like a Hollywood film; you laugh and get on with things.

Found this off a website on what one scientist thinks might happen.
Yes, the world as we know it will cease to exist; it will be the end of our current "Earth Age" and the start of a "New Earth Age". The Maya believed that 2012 marks the end of our current "Solar Epoch" or "Sun Age" and it marks the commencement of a "New Solar Epoch" or "New Sun Age".
The precipitating agent that will trigger this is the Sirius Binary Stellar System, called "The Dragon", it is also the "Great Dog Star" that Nostradamus said would howl for 7 days. It turns out that our Solar System is on a collision course with Sirius. This is the "Great Mystery of the Ages" that even modern scientists have no knowledge about. They think the Earth's global warming is caused by greenhouse gases, the burning of fossil fuels and pollution by man, but they are wrong. These environmental degradations are caused by the electromagnetic stellar arcing between the star Sirius A and our Sun. As the two systems approach ever closer the effects will become more radical. This is why the arctic poles on Mars are even melting; for this phenomenon is affecting everything in our whole system.
What is coming is an extinction level event that will wipe our entire global technoculture off the face of the Earth. Nothing but a handful of post-catastrophic survivors will remain to undertake the Herculean task of "recivilization" all over again, which will require another 12,000 years before ever reaching the technological status that we enjoy today.
Sirius B will pass by the Earth first causing a 45 degree pole shift. Cities like New York will be thrust towards the North Pole and become frozen wastelands. Great and horrific earthquakes worldwide will be a daily occurrence reducing all cities to rubble. Next, Sirius A will pass between the Earth and the Sun. The mean surface temperature of the Earth is considered to be 59 degrees; this will escalate to 5,300 degrees, because Sirius A is 2.24 solar masses larger than our Sun and at the half way distance will be equal to 80 of our Suns in the sky. All flesh of people and animals will "flash-fry", and the fish in the sea will boil to a poached level. All materials on the surface of the Earth will spontaneously combust, including all world forests and cities. All metals will melt, including vehicles. The passing of Sirius A will cause our Sun to turn upside-down for both stars possess opposite polarities, and this will cause all the planets in our Solar System, including the Earth, to turn upside-down. The oceans will displace out of their basins and overrun the continents burying whole nations beneath a layer of 2-mile thick alluvium soil. The Earth may even be catapulted out of its orbit causing the arctic Polar Regions to wander freezing everything that enters their pathway. As the two solar system pass through each other in this Great Transversion, it is very much like two bubbles passing through each other, this will cause all the debris in the debris belts of each system to dislodge and rain down a torrential downpour of mass celestial bombardment; everything will be destroyed. The debris belts in our system are the Oort belt, Kuilper belt and the Asteroid Belt.
The horrible judgments against the maturation of evil upon the Earth and against corrupt Man whose pride assails the very Throne of God at the end of our age and described in the Book of Revelation in the Bible will actually be produced by this cosmocataclysmic event, the burning of the Earth, the boiling of the seas, the great earthquakes, the 100 pound asteroids of mass celestial bombardment, the leveling of every mountain, and the sweeping away of all the islands.
Afterwards, a New Age will begin, and knowledge of our existence will be wiped away and forgotten, becoming a vague myth of a former "Golden Age".
