You're wrong about that.I like this!
I tend to believe the "everything is right, in one way or another" theory.
Nostradamus 2012?
- Thread starter Rolls Royce
- Start date
I heard the Mayan calendar ends at that point because they ran out of rock to keep it going...I heard that when their calendar ends, sundials are all going to crash!
The main thing about these amazing predictions, especially with Nostradamus is, all the "hits" are applied after the fact. Which is a huge cheat. Basically no more acurate then a horoscope of fortune cookie. You can apply nearly anything to some vague description of a possible future event. In regards to the thread title. Up till 1980, Nostradamus was predicting the end of the world in the 70's, in line with the global environment crisis of... the ice age! This didn't happen, it ended up that the Earth warmed up. So Nostradamus and his predictions got updated to... war in the middle east causing WW3, which I guess the verdict would still be out on, except apparantly they're running with the Mayan calender thing now.
There's always going to be end of the world predictions as long as the majority of the world has fear driven religious beliefs frankly. They never have a basis in scientific fact (scientific end of the world scenario would be the giant meteorite that we can track), but mystical mumbo jumbo. I mean, if the planets all allign in a row or something, odds of anything significant happening are slim to none. For this eclipse business to actually have an effect, it would have to be continuous for a period of time, which is impossble since the planets are in constant motion.
I think we behave based on human instinct via evolution, so I'll refrain from getting into talk of universal love
Planet x theory
Read about it,
Watched it to death on youtube,
Thought about it way too much,
Planned to make high tech emerg kits for all my friends,
Bought the silver paper insulated blankets times 20,
Started building a bunker,
The end
It's supposedly called planet Nibiru, my hope is that on Dec 22, 2012, we can "all just get along"
Wow! Not just a pretty face...Well this is really not making too much sense to me. The reason there is a winter solstice, is due to the angle of the axis upon which we spin and it's relation to our sun. It has absolutely nothing to do with our position in our galaxy. To relate the two, our sun aligned with the center of the milky way, and the winter solstice really doesn't make sense.
I find it highly improbable, if not impossible for the two to actually occur at the very same moment in time, since this milky way alignment only happens every 26,000 years. I suppose over billions of years it could happen eventually.
Anyone here any good with math? How many minutes are there in 26,000 years?
oh geez, I got a cool 'units' program in my iPhone..
This occurance would happen ONCE EVERY 13 1/2 BILLION years.. 13,674,960,000 to be exact. More than 3 times the age of our planet.
There is a hole in my logic though.... Maybe the theory is that this 'center' of the universe is actually something that takes a long time for us to cross and isn't a pinpoint accurate thing. So if it is, and we'll be in this zone for all that time. If so, it makes no sense at all why it would make any difference what stage we are at while we spin around our sun.
This solstice thing is bullcrap. Energy from the middle of the universe however?? Now THIS is interesting. I think of the Van Allen radiation belt that surrounds earth when I think of the galaxies spinning. There is that center hole up at the magnetic north and south poles where you can't use a compass.. the lack and confusion of magnetic energy means compasses don't work.
Maybe my thoughts are wrong because I don't understand what the 'lined up with the center of the milky way really means, but I think it means we are crossing through the axis on which the milky way spins. I'm also assuming that there is some kind of energy field around the galaxies similar to the Van Allen belt. I make a huge stretch, I know, but having never delved into cosmology other than high school science, I'm having fun with this.
Could we be in for a Pole Shift? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pole_shift_theory
Geomagnetic Reversal? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geomagnetic_reversal
Solar flares on steroids? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_flare
Who knows what this energy or lack of energy will do to us.
There is so much we don't know. I do know one thing, though. There is not a damned thing we can do about it. It's going to happen, and being afraid of it won't help any. I wonder, though, why being prepared for some kind of natural disaster wouldn't be a good idea. It could be all for naught, it could be silly, like 'duck and cover' for a nuclear bomb. But you never know, maybe being ready might actually help. Certainly it can't hurt.

you cut right to the science, I like that. Is astronomy a hobby?I only hope the end comes before the movie version is released...
