Even before you start reading this post; please re-consider whether you are sure you want to. This might be informative but depr
essing to some. All the points mentioned are facts and not meant in any form as a fictional article. I decided to write this due to a popular demand on the comment i recently posted on the influence of collective mindset towards the probability of this happening. And yes as most might have already guessed, I am writing about the 2012 saga which is a buzz as of now!. I don’t intend to go into the so called religious outlook of this like the biblical predictions or other so called prophets who had predicted this. I intend to touch up only on the scientific reasons which can actually be proved. So, well here it is!!!
So when did all this start? To get to the beginning of this whole prediction business, we will have to go back in time over 3000 years to 1000 BC. The mayan Civilization flourished in the central Americas between 1000 BC till around 900 AD. Now there are so many civilization which existed during this time but mayans became famous for their obsession with time and space. They were so obsessed that they created a calendar which consisted of interlocking components and which could predict the exact position of various planets and moons much into the future. This calendar is infamously known as the mayan Calender. The reason why this caught the scientist eye initially was the fact that, it was able to predict to over 99% accuracy the length of the Earth Year. Moreover it was able to accurately predict the lunar and solar cycles with enormous consistency even to this day. But what confused the scientists were that, the calendar stopped on December 23rd 2012. The mayans called this the great transformation where everything would change. The mayans also managed to predict the onset of a solar flare reversal in the year 2006, which happened on the 31st of July 2006 as per NASA officials. Even they agree that that particular reversal was very strange due to various reasons and stick to the fact that, the outcome of this particular reversal (called solar cycle 24) could be much more powerful than anything we’ve seen so far. Since the Mayan have a track recorded of zero errors, their prediction of a global Ending is pretty valid.
Next is line is the so called galactic alignment which gives basis to the next scientific reasoning. As most people know the Milky way galaxy in which our solar system resides in shape like a disc. What most people don’t know is why it is shaped like that. The reason why the Milky way is shaped like that is due to the presence of a massive Blackhole which is present at the center of the galaxy. This Blackhole along with the whole galaxy is spinning, and it is the combination of this spin and the Black hole which give our galaxy its spiral shape. Now how can it affect us? Gravitation as most of us learn is not a constant. Explanation of that would be really confusing and long, if done here. So lets just leave it at it is not. When a massive object spins, the gravitation varies around it with the highest being at the a region around its spin sides. This is why the disc exists. The whole point here being that the disc around the Black hole has a massive gravitational field difference. And once every 30 Million years, the earth and the sun falls into this disc. For a reference see this figure.

So what’s so special about this??? When such an alignment happens, the sun emits very powerful solar storms and proton winds which are very damaging to the earth. Yes, the earth’s magnetic field should protect us from the same but unfortunately this shield is not a impermeable one. If the storm is too powerful, then it may just shred the ionosphere apart. Other effects of this gravitational pull are many but nothing is proved or can be predicted. But to put something in perspective, the whole dinosaurs went extinct 70 million years ago!! Why am i talking about dinosaurs and blackholes now? Well, The next alignment is in 2012, December 21st 2012 to be exact!!!
Two reasons??? Thats it?? Well not exactly, there are more. Including the binary start system, the niburu planet, the government coverup etc etc. But I don’t want make it a long read. I shall Continue soon with the part 2 of this!!!
I shall do it before December 2012 for sure!!

The Mayan Calendar doesn’t predict the end of the world on the 23rd Dec of 2012. It merely ends on the particular date, rest are mere interpretations . However I must admit it is a very interesting read. Looking forward to Part-2.

i never said it predicts the end of world. it predicts the great transformation or the start of the new age…

maybe their calender dude died after the date or something
and the rest wer like…”ah, well, at least we have this….lets get wasted. “

interesting approach, but frankly that would not be true!!!!

Ninja dude!
1) Mayan wrote calendar till 2012 because they thought that calendar is enough and 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.
Please read NASA report http://www.nasa.gov/topics/earth/features/2012.html
2) The 2012 conspiracy started from the movie, they started a campaign to promote movie. And they flooded, posts and user generated contents all over internet. Sony is very good at this kind of movie marketing.

The mayan calender predicts the new begining.. it can be interpreted in various ways as i have mentioned in the blog. the nasa article you gave shows the nasa view point (as some conspiracy theorists call the govt coverup).. read other articles about the mayan calender.
The 2012 conspiracy did NOT come in as the intro to the film. the film was produced due to the consipract!!! want nat geo and discovery documentaries of the same!

Hey,
. You say:
I don’t buy into all this 2012 crap
“The next alignment is in 2012, December 21st 2012 to be exact!!!”
Uh .. where did you get this data? Evidence shows that the Sun passed through the galactic disc only three million years ago, and is now moving farther above it. (Source: http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v316/n6030/pdf/316706a0.pdf ). Even in the case of a spiral galaxy like the Milky Way, defining the galactic plane is slightly imprecise and arbitrary since the stars are not perfectly coplanar.
Timing it down to an exact date is ridiculous to say the least. Sun’s orbital velocity around the Galactic center is approx ~251 km/s. Different studies, put the Sun’s distance above the Galactic plane anywhere from 17 pc to 35 pc

Downsize that distance to 1 parsec ( off the top off the head ). Even then, travelling at the speed of light the Sun would take more than 3 years to cover that distance. And of course, to get there in 1.5 years, would require superluminal speeds ..

As in all my blogs, please dont jump into conclusions without reading the whole story… Please read part two. I dont support the 2012 theory. whatever I have written, I have disproved in part 2.
About where i got the data, its available everywhere on the net, but its not valid or true… and btw, nice calculations!!!
