After 2012 hits and nothing fucking happens there is just going to be another fucking stupid end of the world prediction that has accurately "foretold" currents events, blah blah blah...

and everyone will believe that one too and freak out accordingly.

Retards.

Bitch just got served.

It's just the typical human condition to always assume, even if the chance of it happening is so extremely minuscule, the worst in anything. Remember the Large Hadron Collider? Y2K virus? SARS? H1N1 virus? Bird Flu? Last time I checked, we're all still here.

2012 is just the end of one of the calendar cycles, that doesn't mean the world will explode because of some civilization that lived in a small section of the world because it said so. To me, this doesn't hold any more water then weekly world news announcing the world will end every November.

[GummyBearOfDoom]

People believe the world will end in 2012, because people are fucking morons.

Welllll.......

everyone knows that the LHC wont end the world
SARS was never the apocolypse either, just media hype
I've never heard anyone give me a clear reason why the whole "y2k scenario" would actually play out.
and pretty much any pandemic/epidemic situation is always nothing but mad media hype.

also, multiple ancient cultures mark 2012, not just the mayans.

[Pamuya]

i thought this was a thread about 2001's sequel 'but then remembered i t was 2010

o well

[LeadingMan]

If these ancient cultures were so right, why aren't they current cultures? BLAM.

It's just another day, and we'll be lucky if the psychos who believe this stuff don't end the world in the process... Just like every other day.

[Pamuya]

im gonna be trippin ims ure but i dun think we're gonna all die or anything

i'll prob be boozin' it up

Timewave Zero is not about the end of the world, only the end of time.



What we are afterward is anyone's guess.

From Wikipedia;

"In 1966, Michael D. Coe more ambitiously claimed in The Maya that "[t]here is a suggestion . . . that Armageddon would overtake the degenerate peoples of the world and all creation on the final day of the thirteenth [baktun]. Thus ... our present universe ... [would] be annihilated on December 23, 2012, when the Great Cycle of the Long Count reaches completion."[8] These apocalyptic connotations were accepted by other scholars through the early 1990s.[9][10] But more recent academic scholars have specifically disputed the apocalyptic interpretation of the Long Count calendar end-date, insisting that it simply marks a resetting of the calendar to Baktun 13.0.0.0.0,[11] rather as the units and tens columns of a car's odometer reset to zero each time a hundred miles are completed.

These scholars argue that the Long Count does not end on 13.0.0.0.0.[12] In their seminal work of 1990, the Maya scholars Linda Schele and David Freidel, who reference Edmonson, point out that the 2012 date is only 4 Ahau 3 Kankin on the Tzolk'in, rather than 4 Ahau 8 Cumku when the Long Count calendar began (0.0.0.0.0). They argue that "the ancient Maya recorded the creation date with twenty units above the katun" (emphasis added). Specifically, the date inscribed on Coba Stela 1, 13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.0.0.0.0, is recorded as matching the date 4 Ahau 8 Cumku.[13] Because the Mayan calendar is cyclical, the above dating will also, of necessity, mark the end of the present Long Count cycle and the beginning of the next. With each column equal to twenty times its predecessor, this date lies some 41,341,049,999,999,999,999,999,994,879 years in the future, or 3 quintillion times the scientifically accepted age of the universe."

You heard it, folks; the universe will end in 41 octillian years. We better start freaking the fuck out.

Shit! I'm genuinely terrified by this. This is, of course, because I intend to still be alive in that age... I may just be a head in a jar or even a penis in a box but I shall live! [penis with a brain.. Anyone? xD ]

But in all seriousness let's wait and see what happens. Maybe the world will end right now-*nonexistence surrounds*

Something a guy came up with while he was on DMT, you know the drug that makes you see machine people... So take it for what it's worth.
