SCIENTIFIC EXPERTS globally are predicting and expecting that 3 years
from now, all life on Earth may well come to an end. Some are saying
it’ll be we humans that would set it off. Others believe that a natural disastrous phenomenon will be the cause. And the religious folks are
saying it’ll be God himself who would press the stop and restart button.
The following are some likely arguments as to why the world would end
by the year 2012. Go through them and leave your view in comments.
Reason 1: Mayan calendar
The first to predict 2012 as the end of the world were the Mayans, a
bloodthirsty race that were good at two things — building highly
accurate astrological equipment out of stone and sacrificing virgins.
Thousands of years ago they managed to calculate the length of the
lunar moon as 329.53020 days, only 34 seconds out. The Mayan calendar
predicts that the earth will end on December 21, 2012. Given that they
were pretty close to the mark with the lunar cycle, it’s likely they’ve
got the end of the world right as well.
Reason 2: Sun storms
Solar experts from around the world monitoring the sun have made a
startling discovery. Our sun is in a bit of strife. The energy output of
the sun is, like most things in nature, cyclic and it’s supposed to be
in the middle of a period of relative stability. However, recent solar
storms have been bombarding the earth with lot of radiation energy. It’s
been knocking out power grids and destroying satellites. This activity
is predicted to get worse and calculations suggest it’ll reach its
deadly peak sometime in 2012.
Reason 3: The atom smasher
Scientists in Europe have been building the world’s largest particle
accelerator. Basically, its a 27 km tunnel designed to smash atoms
together to find out what makes the universe tick. However, the
mega-gadget has caused serious concern, with some scientists suggesting
that it’s properly even a bad idea to turn it on in the first place.
They’re predicting all manner of deadly results, including mini black
holes. So when this machine is fired up for its first serious experiment
in 2012, the world could be crushed into a super-dense blob the size of
a basketball.
Reason 4: The Bible says it
If having scientists warning us about the end of the world isn’t bad
enough, religious folks are getting in on the act as well.
Interpretations of the Christian Bible reveal that the date for
Armageddon, the final battle between good an evil, has been set for
2012. The I Ching, also known as the Chinese Book of Changes, says the
same thing, as do various sections of the Hindu teachings.
Reason 5: Super volcano
Yellowstone National Park in United States is famous for its thermal
springs and old faithful geyser. The reason for this is simple — it’s
sitting on top of the world’s biggest volcano and geological experts are
beginning to get nervous sweats. The Yellowstone volcano has a pattern
of erupting every 650,000 years or so, and we’re many years overdue for
an explosion that will fill the atmosphere with ash, blocking the sun
and plunging the earth into a frozen winter that could last up to 15,000
years. The pressure under the Yellowstone is building steadily, and
geologists have set 2012 as a likely date for the big bang.
Reason 6: The physicists
This one’s case of bog — simple maths mathematics. Physicists at
Berkely University have been crunching the numbers. They’ve determined
that the earth is well overdue for a major catastrophic event. Even
worse, they’re claiming that their calculations prove that we’re all
going to die, very soon. They are also saying that their prediction
comes with a certainty of 99 per cent; and 2012 just happens to be the
best guess as to when it occurs.
Reason 7: Earth’s magnetic field
We all know the Earth is surrounded by a magnetic field that shields
us from most of the sun’s radiation. What you might not know is that the
magnetic poles we call North and South have a nasty habit of swapping
places every 750,000 years or so — and right now we’re about 30,000
years overdue. Scientists have noted that the poles are drifting apart
roughly 20-30 kms each year, much faster than ever before, which points
to a pole-shift being right around the corner. While the pole shift is
under way, the magnetic field is disrupted and will eventually
disappear, sometimes for up to 100 years. The result is enough UV
outdoors to crisp your skin in seconds, killing everything it touches.
