End of the world 2012?



                   The beginning of the end?
Its 2012, will the world still exist to the year 2013, or will it end on December 21st of 2012. This is one of the most popular controversial topics many people have been talking about. It’s all over radios, talk shows and it’s even a 2 hour documentary at history channel. This prediction/event has a lot of people freaking out because they think they know that right now, they are spending their last days on earth. This can turn out either way and there is plenty of evidence that it will end but, also there’s evidence that it won’t. This might be true or, not! If you think it’s fake or not, just wait and see.

                 Planetary alignment?
There are a lot of theories saying that the apocalypse that will come to earth is based on a planetary alignment. Scientists said that no planetary alignment will happen in the next decades and that if a planetary alignment did happen; the effects would be negligible by earth which will lead to no apocalypse at all. Also, scientists say that during the planetary alignment, earth is polar caps will switch direction (in other words, earth will be upside down). Other scientists say that a polar shift won’t happen for the next 1,000 years. The main reason a polar shift is lethal to earth is because it will move the earth in a matter of hours which will cause a dramatic effect on the earth’s plates which will well likely make them collide. This will cause; Massive earthquakes and Tsunamis. Also people have said that a polar shift would cause the earth’s magnetic field would totally disappear which may lead to much more UV rays (ultra violet radiation) from the sun to get to us. This will lead to absolutely no life on earth. Another reason people think the world will end is because of something called, galactic alignment. Though, scientists have seen in their research that now, our poles are moving 40 miles every year to the opposite direction. Still, an immediate pole shift won’t be possible.
Nibiru/Planet X or Eris? Galactic alignment?
A Galactic alignment is when the sun aligns with the galactic equator (during the December solstice). The galactic equator is for example the middle of our galaxy (Milky Way) or like the equator of the galaxy.
                                                        
The galactic equator is on the 0 degree line because it runs right through that galaxy. Just like our equator is at 0 degrees and runs through our planet. It was claimed that a planet named Nibiru (planet discovered by Sumerians) is coming to earth. That first predicted impact was in May of 2003 and since nothing happened it was moved to December of the year 2012. Plus, if there was a planet projected to impact earth, it will be very possible the scientists would have already spotted this planet years before today. There is no Nibiru, Planet X nor Eris. This is all fictitious.   
                               
                 Mayan Calendar?
The Mayan calendar is also wrong as Scientists says, the end of the Mayan calendar doesn’t mean it’s the end of the world; it is the end of the Mayan long count period. A long count is when one of the wheels of the Mayan calendar has finished and then it starts all over back to the day of January 1st. The Mayans also studied astronomy to predict the future (the stars would tell or give them signs). One sign that they found was stars sorted out which showed the illustration of a guy with an arrow pointing at the numbers “2012”. This could have just been a misunderstanding or just ordinary stars that got seemed in that way. But this doesn’t mean anything in our modern day astronomy. Stars giving signs or any other type of signs don’t mean anything because it is a sign, not a fact. Also Mayan artifacts have been found that refer to the years after 2012 which means that the Mayans didn’t think that the world was going to end neither.     

In conclusion, I agree that there is enough evidence to state that the world will not be ending on December 21st, 2012. Everything that we thought would end it is mostly wrong. In some other things that were true doesn’t necessarily mean that the world is going to end. But is what I said was wrong, What will the future hold for us?
