Most people in this world don't think the world will come to an end over a day. Now as for the 2036, 99942 Apophis astroid that hitting earth is another story. Buts thats a 1 in 12.3 million chance it will.



I don't care what people say anymore. Your opinions no longer matter to me. No matter what i say no one cares they just keep going.

Didn't researchers discover like a week or two ago that there was made a mistake in translating the Mayan calender into our own calender? And that 'the end of the world' won't be in 2012, but in 2208?

I can't wait to see what the atmosphere will be like on December 20th 2012, the day before the "world is going to end". And the disappointment when nothing actually happens and we wake up normally on December 22nd, lol.

I'm mixed on if it's true or not but it scares me that it could happen

The first thing you learn about Mesoamerican anthopology is how ancient Aztec and Mayan have a very circular view of nature and the world. Those people in the past don't have the "OMG! The world will end!" view.

People nowadays think of time as a line, so when it says 'end of time', people imagine no more line.

But the Mayan time is in a circle, time merely begins again. Plus they have no 'end of the world' prophecy. It's just a time cycle...

When all the planets aligned, it wasn't the end, or when the year 2000 arrived there was no end... but for some it's fun to fantasize such things, and I guess an imagination is ok.
