I think we are doomed, here is an article to prove it (I did not write this)
SCIENTIFIC EXPERTS from around the world are predicting that five
years from now, all life on Earth could well come to an end. Some are
saying it’ll be humans that would set it off. Others believe that a
natural phenomenon will be the cause. And the religious folks are
saying it’ll be God himself who would press the stop button. The
following are some likely arguments as to why the world would end by
the year 2012.
Reason one: Mayan calendar
The first to predict
2012as the end of the world were the Mayans, a bloodthirsty race that were
good at two things -- building highly accurate astrological equipment
out of stone and sacrificing virgins.
Thousands
of years ago they managed to calculate the length of the lunar moon as
329.53020 days, only 34 seconds out. The Mayan calendar predicts that
the earth will end on December 21,
2012.
Given that they were pretty close to the mark with the lunar cycle,
it’s likely they’ve got the end of the world right as well.
Reason two: Sun storms
Solar
experts from around the world monitoring the sun have made a startling
discovery. Our sun is in a bit of strife. The energy output of the sun
is, like most things in nature, cyclic and it’s supposed to be in the
middle of a period of relative stability. However, recent solar storms
have been bombarding the earth with lot of radiation energy. It’s been
knocking out power grids and destroying satellites. This activity is
predicted to get worse and calculations suggest it’ll reach its deadly
peak sometime in
2012.
Reason three: The atom smasher
Scientists
in Europe have been building the world’s largest particle accelerator.
Basically, its a 27 km tunnel designed to smash atoms together to find
out what makes the universe tick. However, the mega-gadget has caused
serious concern, with some scientists suggesting that it’s properly
even a bad idea to turn it on in the first place. They’re predicting
all manner of deadly results, including mini black holes. So when this
machine is fired up for its first serious experiment in
2012, the world could be crushed into a super-dense blob the size of a basketball.
Reason four: The Bible says it
If
having scientists warning us about the end of the world isn’t bad
enough, religious folks are getting in on the act as well.
Interpretations of the Christian Bible reveal that the date for
Armageddon, the final battle between good an evil, has been set for
2012. The I Ching, also known as the
Chinese Book of Changes, says the same thing, as do various sections of the Hindu teachings.
Reason five: Super volcano
Yellowstone
National Park in United States is famous for its thermal springs and
old faithful geyser. The reason for this is simple -- it’s sitting on
top of the world’s biggest volcano and geological experts are beginning
to get nervous sweats. The Yellowstone volcano has a pattern of
erupting every 650,000 years or so, and we’re many years overdue for an
explosion that will fill the atmosphere with ash, blocking the sun and
plunging the earth into a frozen winter that could last up to 15,000
years. The pressure under the Yellowstone is building steadily, and
geologists have set
2012 as a likely date for the big bang.
Reason six: The physicists
This
one’s case of bog -- simple maths mathematics. Physicists at Berkely
University have been crunching the numbers. They’ve determined that the
earth is well overdue for a major catastrophic event. Even worse,
they’re claiming that their calculations prove that we’re all going to
die, very soon. They are also saying that their prediction comes with a
certainty of 99 per cent; and
2012 just happens to be the best guess as to when it occurs.
Reason seven: Earth’s magnetic field
We
all know the Earth is surrounded by a magnetic field that shields us
from most of the sun’s radiation. What you might not know is that the
magnetic poles we call North and South have a nasty habit of swapping
places every 750,000 years or so -- and right now we’re about 30,000
years overdue. Scientists have noted that the poles are drifting apart
roughly 20-30 kms each year, much faster than ever before, which points
to a pole-shift being right around the corner. While the pole shift is
under way, the magnetic field is disrupted and will eventually
disappear, sometimes for up to 100 years. The result is enough UV
outdoors to crisp your skin in seconds, killing everything it touches.
