It’s finally here: 2012. People have been dreading this year since the beginning of time basically. The Mayans have predicted that the world will come to an end in 2012 on December 21st. So it is true? What’s the facts? Honestly, no one what is actually gonna happen but it’s fun to look into what people are saying and what might happen.

Here’s what people are saying:
A New Age interpretation of this transition is that this date marks the start of time in which Earth and its inhabitants may undergo a positive physical or spiritual transformation, and that 2012 may mark the beginning of a new era.Others suggest that the 2012 date marks the end of the world or a similar catastrophe. Scenarios suggested for the end of the world include the arrival of the next solar maximum, or Earth’s collision with a black hole or passing asteroid or a planet called “Nibriu”.

Criticism:
Astronomers argue that the galactic equator is an entirely arbitrary line and can never be exactly drawn, because it is impossible to determine the Milky Way’s boundaries. There is also no evidence that the classic Mayans attached any importance to the Milky Way. There is no symbol in their writing system to represent it and no astronomical or chronological table tied to it.

Who believes in it?
A lot of people do believe that some big catastrophe will occur in December 2012, but not the end of the world. Even if it is the end of this type world as we know it, it means a new world is beginning that we can experience. I personally agree with this because in order for the whole world to be completely destroyed over night something outrageous can happen such as the Sun burning out which is going to happen for another 5,00 years.

What do you think?! Let me know!

Have an fantastic weekend!
