2012: End Of The World As We Know It? by AjanleKoko: 11:34am On Jan 05, 2010
Yeah, I know you've all seen the movie. But there's a lot of theory behind the movie, some of it downright scary. The Internet these days is awash with various theories, scientific postulating, as well as cosmological stuff on 2012. Pretty scary stuff, especially for some of us who are not in any away believers in doomsday theories. However, I feel it's worth discussing. Here are some good links:

Whichever the case, 2012 is a lot closer than we all know. So should we be scared? Some peeps are even considering killing themselves so they won't have to witness it. But in any case, the day is soon upon us. Thoughts, anyone?

when people have too much to eat, they begin to look for ways to die.

Such is what happened to Farouk Matallab our Nigerian terrorist. He had too much to eat, nothing to worry about.

In Nigeria, do you think anyone is praying about the world ending? people are looking for tomorrows breakfast. When it was year 2000, there was a prediction, all through till today. See, its history repeating itself.

the world will end according to the big bang theory

Well, there was a record-breaking earthquake in Haiti this week. 7.0 on the Richter scale. Over half a million dead.
In Europe, they are experiencing the most severe winter in more than 30 years, with flights being cancelled and many municipalities snowed in.
Even here at home, it's raining in January, which is not usual.
Something is definitely up.

It is true pple now have too much to eat.

But what i am certain of is that "No one knows when the world is coming to an end".

earth quake, volacanic eruption, climatic changes cannot bring about the end of the world. what can bring about the end is the big bang in which all the universe are pulled together to a certain point by the gravitational force field. this compresive force at the centre tends to be greater than the replusive force between the nucleus of the atoms. as a result, we have a nuclear reaction in which the nuclear binding forces which holds the nucleous of the nucleous dissipate their energy to the enviroment. this energy throws all matters in different directions which results in the formation of another generation of universe. this theory had been proven by the observation of dopplers shift (dopplers effect) in the universe. only a collision with an astroid could end life otherwise (watch amargedion by bruce willis).

they said this same things 4 year end 2000 n its 2010 n am still alive,i remember pple sold their properties just 2 go jerusalem 4 end of the world 2000 so its not new.God pass them jare

earthquake in Chile 8.8 !one of the heaviest ever!it even shifted the earth's axis!the end is real.better believe this

All those are myths about 2012.I have found one proof for that,and here I am sharing that here.
Does anybody remember Y2K? New Years Eve 1999 the world stopped and waited,, and then,, the clocks ticked over,, and,, NOTHING! How foolish are we! How foolish are the people who stocked up on life supplies of water and food because of the mere date!

Why is this so foolish? You may think they were smart and prepared for the worst. However, the question is what exactly did these people think was going to happen?!?!

2012 is just another date. 12 years after Y2K and we haven't learned a damn thing. If the government confirmed the so called "coming of Nibiru" why would it not call upon all minds of the world to solve the cataclysmic event? Keep in mind that they themselves have no answer to what they would do during a catastrophe of this nature. They would simply need everyone they could get, and disclosure would come directly after scientific evidence.

The problem however is that there is no scientific evidence. People will run their mouth that the telescope on the South Pole is to track Nibiru; a claim that is entirely unjustified considering you would not be able to see it any better at the South Pole than anywhere in the southern hemisphere - possibly anywhere on earth.

Additional lacking of evidence comes from the millions of civilian contractor scientists working with space seeking new planets on a daily basis. They use multimillion dollar telescopes to cruise the sky looking for incoming threats, discovering new planets, monitoring planetary alignment, seeking space anomalies, tracking alignment of satellites (and the telescopes on many of them), etc.

Mankind is just foolish enough to get tripped up on these dates. Let's not forget however that Jesus Christ died 7 years prior to 0AD. This would make the current date 11/24/2015. Oh crap we missed it, oh well just have to wait another 3600 years .

Let's break down some scientific facts shall we?

Have a look at the following diagram and tell me what you think is incorrect about it.

Nibiru Cycle

Now tell me what is out of place in this picture. Yep, you guessed it! The planet that is supposedly the size of Saturn is on some ridiculously sloppy, mis-angled, mis-interpreted cycle!

How come all of the planets are in perfect rotation of the sun except this mysterious planet whom nobody has any evidence for? Assuming it did indeed come 3600 years ago, the sheer gravitational force of a planet this size coming so close to our tiny little planets would have devastated the human race - or better yet devastated our tiny little planet.

Mercury, Venus, Earth, The Moon, and Mars are all supposedly smaller than this planet, yet when it came right in front of all 5 it didn't even pull on them enough to make an oblong year cycle. This would contradict Einstein's mathematical theories entirely which would prove "Nibiru" to merely destroy any planet it comes in contact with by sheer gravitational force. If these 5 planets have not been pulled off of planetary alignment, and are still in great shape (no planetary dust that would signal a recent explosion) then this one is starting to look busted.

If it were to come in contact and collide with any of these 5 planets (entirely possible due to gravitational pull of Nibiru) they would have been obliterated off of our radar and the space dust created would have circled and eventually landed on Nibiru, the planet in which collided with them.

Let's calculate the sheer force of Nibiru on planet earth using Isaac Newton's law of Universal Gravitational Force.

The Formula (This is calculated in Kilograms and assumes a distance of Nibiru to planet earth of 450,000KM or 450,000,000 Meters):
Force of Gravity ~ (mass1 X mass2) / distance^2
Earth's Mass = 5.9742 × 10^24
Nibiru's Assumed Mass (double Earth's) = 1.19484 × 10^25
(5.9742 × (10^24)) X 1.19484 × (10^25) = 7.13821313 × 10^49
7.13821313 × 10^49 / 450,000,000^2 = 3.52504352 × 10^32

The sheer gravitational force is (in newtons):
3.52504352 × 10^32
OR
100000000000000000000000000000000 X 3.52504352 Newtons

Let's put this into perspective with some Newtonian Examples:

Gravitational attraction
between Earth and Moon :: 2^26 Newtons
Gravitational attraction between Earth and Sun :: 2.1^28 Newtons
Gravitational attraction between "Nibiru" and planet Earth :: 3.52504352 × 10^32 Newtons

As you can see this is an extraordinary amount of gravitational force. This is merely calculated for force against earth, but the truth of the matter is the gravitational force would be outward affecting all planets in our solar system. Given the current nature of our cyclic solar system, and circular rotation around the sun, we are safe to assume that this amount of Newtonian force was never brought as wrath down on Earth. The sheer effects would be effecting our planetary cycle to this day. It would be an amazement of science that all 5 smaller planets supposedly were completely unaffected by this force that supposedly brought it's wrath on earth 3600 years ago.

I am starting to wonder if this is more Christian scare tactics as in the Bible it mentions "The day the earth stood still" - another theory which I believe is totally unacceptable.

At the equator, the earth is rotating at a speed that is about 1,670 km/hr, or 1,070 mi/hr. However, it is traveling around the sun at a rate of 67,000 mph.

The only possible act of gravity would be to stop the rate of traveling around the sun (67,000mph) because gravity is pulling on the object and does not have the effect of stopping it dead in it's tracks. It would have to halt our planet which weighs 6,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 (6E+24) kilograms traveling at a rate of 67,000 MPH. Good luck Nibiru.

If we are to assume the Earth will stand still on the arrival of Nibiru we can expect a few things. First of all we depend highly on both the rotation of earth on it's axis for our 24 hour periods as well as the rotation around the sun for yearly periods including seasons and weather cycles. A halt to all of this would be devestating and it is likely we never recover from it. Secondly we must note that if this has happened in the past how did earth begin moving again? You could assume gravity, but for the precise climate needed to maintain the variety of species that have evolved on this planet that is impossible. Earth never stopped spinning either on it's axis or around the Sun - because if it did we would see the effects of it to this day (I.E. we would have to start it back up again).
