There is much speculation as to what the significance will be of the coming alignment between the centre of the Milky Way, the Earth and the Sun.
It is thought the polarity of our planet will be reversed as it crosses the magnetic alignment between these two astral bodies, bringing about catastrophic tidal phenomena and tectonic shifts.
The timing of this event is in fact extremely fortunate as it takes place just after the 2012 London Olympics, thereby relieving Londoners of the responsibility for the vast white elephant the Olympic Village will have by then become.

Originally posted by RAEOSI don't think it will do anything. We are so close to the plane now that we will still be close to it after passing through it. The polarity change is interesting as we know it has happend on earth neumerous times in the past. Did it ever coincide with the crossing of the galactic plane before? If it does cause catastrophy, and it is unavoidable, what a sight to see eh? I hope it doesn't.

The fact that this will happen on a very specific date shows clearly that the foretellers has not a hint of anything, least of all science.
Let's all have a big laugh the december 22nd 2012.

Originally posted by FrogspondenceIt is very similar to religious prophecies anyway. There is no much science to conlude that an exact date, such as this, cannot be of scientific origin. Even religious prophecies use science in disguise.
Actually, this one is a prophecy of late night History Channel origin. No religions were even close to that specific.
Nostradamists use this date to foretell the end of the world (as we know it).
This prophecy is very much alike the May 5th 2000, when Earth would have catastrophic seismic activities, due to planetary alignement, and some religious groups used the date to convince people to give their life to Jesus or their money to some reverends.
Who will join me in the great laughter the 22 of december 2012?

Oh I'll be laughing, but I'm pretty sure Nostradamus never said anything about 12/21/2012. Not that it would matter if he did, but I'm fairly certain that is something that has been made up after the fact.
If you formulate a prophecy in a very specific way, then the prophecy will never happen.
If you interprete a prophecy so you know exactly what will happen a certain day, it will never happen.
Numerous times has the ultimate disaster been read in in a prophecy, but never yet has it been true. 5th may 2000 didn't happen. Neither will anything of the kind happen 21st december 2012.

The significance of the date stems from the Mayan calendar, I believe -- which has (had) intricate cycles within cycles, and reaches the end of its current "primary" cycle on 12/21/2012.
The world was supposed to end on 01/01/2000...
Then 05/05/2000...
Then 01/01/2001...
And some other dates that escape me.
Eventually they'll be right. Probably in a few billion years.

things around 2012 and knew the disaster would come and call it the end of the world because he
failed to realise that our technology by then would be so advanced that a large portion of humanity
can survive it. HA!

Maybe 12/21/2012 will be the day CERN finally isolates that Higgs-boson thingy and creates an infinitessemally small black hole...

Originally posted by sonhouseI haven't noticed any hype, but I'll take your word for it that the hype exists. Asd for the bit about what "would" be created and how long it "would" exist, I'll withhold the same acceptance as fact on those comments for now. Fortunately for you, if you happen to be wrong, there won't be time for anyone to say "Hey, sonhouse!! You sure blew TAT one!!!!" 😉😀
