    There is no denying that the Mayans were intelligent and advanced. But look where that got them.

    The 'end of the world as we know it' has been occurring and observed by human kind since first cognitive thought. It's nothing new. The 'world as you know it' ends every second as something is always changing that irreversibly alters our existence. The only difference being the scale of the event which changes our existence. Small and subtle changes may not be as apparent as large cataclysmic ones, but a change has occurred nevertheless. Ergo, the 'world as we know it' has ended.

    The universe/multi-verse is a volatile place in a constant state of flux. The human species will cease to exist one way or the other at any given time. That much is fact. So too is that our existence will barely register in the 'great time line of the finite/infinite'.
    Selecting and focusing on an arbitrary date or event which could theoretically occur, only leads to unnecessary anxiety and obsessive fixation, which is actually more detrimental than simply accepting the things that you cannot change.

    If 2012 was to occur, rest assured I wouldn't be happy about it, but I'd be less happy trying to eke out an existence in a post 'civilized' wasteland.

    In other words, I wouldn't worry about it.

    Why would you want to be a King of nothing? Stop watching movies

    A massive planet heading toward Earth?

    Don't worry, Bruce Willis will save us. LOL.

    Still, you never know - something like that is bound to happen sooner or later.

    Whatever common sense i have left it tells me this is just another prophecy, the end has been predicted over and over again since too long ago, and predictions turned out to be consistently wrong, obviously!, but the funny thing about it is that those that talk about the end times always say that it will happen within their lifetime probably a few months or years away, which is very convenient but why not 200, 500 years away? because then nobody would care since we would be dead by then anyway. I think people believe in these things because they want a dramatic change in the world, something to look forward to, then there is the business associated with it and other motives.


    Speaking of which, i'm thinking of stocking food supplies and survival stuff, so i can sell them around 2011, might be a good way to make some extra money.

    Btw, what effect could this Eris planet really cause, i mean it will be about as far as pluto and it is barely larger than pluto too so i don't see how that can cause any of those things but i'm just guessing.

    This is more astronomy than prophecy and if the Mayans were as good as they believed they were and had gone through similar events then maybe they are onto something and gravity is a very powerful force and it's not something you should under estimate.

    Another thing to remember is this will start to have effect in the months and weeks before that date and that at least should be enough of a warning for most people to have some sort of action plan to ride out these events. There have been many great civilizations wiped out in the past, so what makes everyone so sure it's not going to happen again.
