We are a long way from 2012, but Will Smith got a record number of people to the movie theatre this past weekend to see his new flick, I Am Legend. In this end of the world (as we know it) saga the world has been nearly wiped out by a virus; however, Will Smith finds a cure and saves the world from the Dec. 21, 2012 catastrophe on Sept. 9, 2012!
I'm afraid where the world is headed isn't quite as spectacular nor that easy of a problem to solve. Just look at some of the predictions that are being made: and many by top-flight scientists too!
(1) Is there is brown dwarf, known variously as Planet X or Nibiru, our there (discovered by NASA in 1994) that is in an elliptical course that will bring it too close to us in 2012?
(2) Does the Mayan calendar, written many centuries ago, predict the end of the world on December 21, 2012, the end of time, or the beginning of some new time?
(3) Will the increased sun spot activity during it's regular cycles of 11 years, and the long view of 178 year cycle, create havoc and destruction of unprecedented nature when 2012 arrives?
(4) Is collapse of the Earth's magnetic field, which guards our planet and life on course for such a reduction that come 2012 there will be a reversal of poles? Magnetic reversals have happened 171 times in the last 76 million years: 14 in the last 4.5 million years. From the peak magnetic intensity of 2,000 years ago, the magnetic values have dropped 38%: 7% in the last 100 years. Will 2012 be the tipping point?
(5) Will the passing through the galactic plane, an event that happens only every 26,000 years; otherwise known as the galactic shift. The black hole that holds our galaxy together has the earth and
sun in alignment, creating unknown climate and weather catastrophes. That crossing just so happens to occur in 2012. Obviously as we get closer to the event, unusual physical eruptions will occur. No need to wait until 2012 to figure out if this one is true or not.
Who has a cure for all that? Or will any of those scenarios materialize?
At least it makes life interesting for the next five years.
