2012~ The End is Neigh

[Aureity 3,055]

Most likely we're going to blow ourselves up with nukes.

Either that or a few scientists decide to play "Pandemic" on the world. Which unfortunately for the world, starts in Madagascar.

The world did not end on December 21st, 2012.

 

Noticed how I used a past tense in that statement? The entire prediction of the world ending on that date is based on the ending of a "long count" on the Mayan Calendar, which was scheduled to occur on December 21st, 2012.

 

The problem is, however, that the Mayan Calendar was invented many thousands of years before leap years were invented. Therefore, the Mayan Calendar does not account for an extra day being added to the calendar every four years, and thus the dates on the Mayan Calendar are a couple hundred days ahead of the Gregorian Calendar.

 

I don't know the exact date, but December 21, 2012 on the Mayan Calendar would've been a day in July or August of 2011 on the Gregorian Calendar. We are well past that date, and yet the world is still here, so.......

*Mayans predict end of world is 2012.

*Mayans could not predict their own demise by Spanish.

 

~Their argument is invalid.

If the world is going to end, notify me when humans sprout wings and a tail.

[Jokuc 8,172]

I demand a "world will end because we humans will destroy the nature." option.

I have no idea if the world will end or not, but if it does I plan to enjoy it before it goes!

[ShinyRibbonsAndSparkles 164]

Mayan Calendar never followed leap years. Ignoring the skipping of leap days, we should technically be in 2013 right now. I believe the world will either end by the sun exploding 6 billion years from now, or the return of Jesus Christ, which is completely undetermined, because God is really awesome and can make Jesus come back whenever the hell he wants.

LE GASP!

Teh warld is tttly ending on december 21st-*shot*

I don't believe it.

When I saw the title, I prepared my Objection! Jpeg and was ready to break down your arguments, but then I saw it was actually discussion on the end of the world..So yeah.

Anyway, I don't know when the world will end, heck, nopony knows.

Also, I love the 'Mayan's didn't follow leap years so the world ending in 2012 is impossible' theorie.

How do you know? It's a secret information. Who told you that?

[I_wesley125 393]

The leap year was only invented in the 1800s (or sometime around there) but according to the Myan calendar it should have ended 7 years ago with the leap year so I call BS.

[Killian Jones 2,653]

I wonder if I could survive the heat death of the universe.

Unless it doesn't start in Madagascar- which will then make it the safest place in the world.

[Love Heart <3 6]

This whole idea is silly, No way it could end EVERYTHING... Right?

[Finesthour 7,284]

I laugh every time someone says that the end of the world is near.

 

"YOU GUYZ, MAYANS PREDICTED IT."

 

"But we also predicted Y2K, and no one seemed to care about 2012 before."

 

"BUT INDIANS DID IT. IT MUST BE TRUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE"

 

Yeah, I refuse to believe a bunch of people guessed in 2000 years the world would go boom.

[Slurpy 300]

I don't know if anything will happen and if something does then I have no idea what but if something does I WILL BE READY

[Trixies Apprentice L 489]

The world will end by a roundhouse kick to the face

-true story

 

You cannot be ready

 

XD

On a serious note No the world wil not end any day soon

The world will not be ending anytime soon, Zombie Outbreak, I am not sure how prepared I am for the apocalypse...

 

I doubt the world will actually end due to zombie outbreak, if at all, but if it does, and I'm still alive, that's how I would want it to end

[Marshmallow 1,134]

Dude! The mayas predicted it. Of course it's gonna end! It's the freaking mayas! Have they ever bbeen wrong about something before? NO! Why would they have ended their calendar in 2012 if it wasn't the end of the world???

 

It's like 100% sure. The mayas they had chamans and mathematics and magic and stuff so it's all true. There's NO WAY the world is gonna continues after 2012, NO WAY! Anyone who does not think so is just blinding himself ini illusions and stuff!

 

 

Ok, quite obviously, my vote on this poll and this comment were purely sarcastic. Anyone who believes in that shit is just uninformed and dumb as fuck. Sorry if that offended you, but it's true.

Btw, if I recall correctly, the mayans never actually said that the world was going to end in 2012. Their calendar worsk by cycles. The current cycle just happens to end on December 21st 2012. After this, another cycle simply begins.Besides, the Mayans were just an ancient civilization that lived in South and Central America and that were most "active" between 250 to 900 AD. Why the hell would they know shit about the end of the world? ^^

I wish people can quit acting like the world is gonna end, just because a bunch of egghead historic ancestors predicted with no help of science or anything, and ZOMBIES ARENT REAL and the scientists (not to offend religious people here) said it will most likely end 890584896989586 YEARS away by the sun becoming a red giant, the earth is quite young and so is the sun. I dont much believe in bible stuff and if it were true "god" will end it whenever he wants, he didnt exactly say it'll end in 2012, so for THE LOVE OF GOD, will people get over it, we will live, we will be fine...sheesh .__. im tired of seeing 2012 being the end, damn..sorry for the outbreak everypony, im just sick and tired of people overreacting

Ive heard that before, they didnt count leap years, the world didnt end now, so i wish people can quit wasting their lives worrying and live it incase it does end (not saying it will) but damn...im living my life happily before something bad happens

 

I refuse to believe our existence will be wiped forever in 2012. We will continue existing. 'nuff said.

 

Yup

 

So the world's supposed to end again? Already?! We just now recovered from the two raptures that occurred last May and October! Can't we ever get a break?

 

Seriously, though.. I don't see any reason to believe the world will end this year. It could happen, but if it did happen it would be completely coincidental, so I won't worry myself with it anymore than I normally would.

 

And they said the Mayans didnt count leap year, so it was suppose to "end" 7 months ago

[Samu 8]

iv'e always imagined the world ending from some unstoppable virus like planet of the apes since you didn't have that in the choices i chose nothing and since i didn't vote for one it wouldn't let me vote at all

[Mr. Wobbels 664]

Q 1: No, obviously not.

 

Q 2: If by "Massive Increase in Temperature", you mean the sun increasing in brightness by 10% in 1.1 billion years and evaporating the oceans on Earth, then yes.

 

Q 3: I can't really be prepared for a lack of hydrogen.

I survived the Y2K and two raptures. I will surely survive this obviously outdated apocalypse

 

Throw that prophecy at me!
