Recently, our beloved Sun spat a CME (coronal mass ejection) in our direction. I, personally, am worried. There are a few points to discuss before I say why I am worried.
First, Sun patterns. As you may know, the Sun is cyclic. It has a roughly eleven year cycle between maximums. 2005 was a minimum.
Second, calendars. The Mayans were, and are, deadly accurate with their timekeeping. The Long Count calendar has gone through four cycles, each representative of the four elements. 2012 heralds the start of the fifth cycle. Worried yet? Just wait.
2005 was a minimum year. However, the Sun was acting as if it were a normal maximum. 2012, the next maximum, could get interesting. Has anyone tried their computers lately?
A CME is almost pure energy. When it hits the magnetosphere, it plays havoc with technology. Your computer was probably running slow or otherwise not behaving around eleven today. In 1986, a CME shorted out Quebec's power grid. If you're saying that Canada does not matter, then keep reading.
Another storm like that could pop the power on the entire East Coast.
Back to calendars. As I said before, each cycled of the Long Count represents one of the ffour elements. The fifth, which begins 12/21/12, can be said to represent ether, which I call magic and you may know as the unknown. Either way, it is sure to be one hell of a cycle.
According to the Mayans, the start of the new cycle will be accompanied by pain, death, and trouble. Death throes of the world or birth pangs of a new one?
Ok, on to more sciency stuff. You probably know Yellowstone. Well, sometime in the near future, it will be replaced by a supervolcao erupting. The ash cloud would send the entire world into nuclear winter. By the way, are there any nuclear power plants within a hundred miles of the park? If so, we all die by radiation.
So a supervolcano isn't enough for you? How about the dinosaurs? According to fossil evidence, mass extinctions happen about every 62-65 million years. We are WAY overdue.
Destroy the Earth and what remains? The Solar System. Which may cease to exist in the near future. The entire Solar System is headed into an interstellar energy cloud, which can make the sun fry us all.
Still not enough? Then the best I can give you are mini black holes. Possibly produced in atom smashers, they will compress the Earth into an inert sphere the size of a basketball by squeezing the empty space out of atoms.
Ok, I think I gave you enough terror for one day. Nnow for the ray of hope. Even if humanity and the world as we know it is destroyed, we can take comfort in that a new and wiser species of human will rise from the ashes. Hopefully, they will learn from our mistakes.
Life is like a phoenix. It will always find a way to rise from the ashes and start anew.

Why would anyone believe that? People can only make predictions, not proof. At first they said it was gonna end in 2000 and the world does not end. Then 2001, Does not end. So look where we are now 2012! The world could end tomorrow it could end today. Just because that rumor my kids are crying. So gosh! No one should believe that. They might think its funny, it is NOT funny. They make kids cry for nothing. Not even Albert Einstein knows when the world will end. No one knows, but still I just wanna kill myself when that happens so I don't have to go through the pain. Anyone agree with me?
everybody says that 2012 is the end of the world,but how many end of the world predictions
have failed before.first it was in 2000 and then in 2006 and now this?what is this like a joke they play just to scare the **** out of people?
i know thw world will have to end someday because nothing last forever but why does it have to be 2012.well ive read that before the world ends(when jesus returns)there will be earthquakes in various places,lets see some examoles:first in haiti,then in chile and another one in china.this may be the signs that the world is going to come to an end soon 0-0.i dont know if the world is really going to end in 2012,the world ends when god wants it to end,that's it.
