    its a popular misconception that the Mayan calender and other predictions regarding 2012 mean the end of the world, they do not.

    What they say is that civilisation as we know it will end, not the end of the world.
    This could be brought about by disease or war or some natural disaster that NASA has no knowledge of or way of predicting.

    If every living thing on this planet died today, it would not be the end of the world, the planet will still be here for billions of years to come.

    So please refrain from this 'end of the world' rubbish, if you want to monitor the situation then keep an eye on politics, the weather and things like earthquakes and volcanoes.

    This is old news, the sun throws tantrums every 11 years since the beginning of time... Also the Mayan calender does not end, it starts over. People will believe anything... The Mayans could not predict their own end, and they are going to predict ours? :p

    You are wrong mate. They are famous for their predictions. However in this case their was no prediction. One can not go on creating a calendar, it has to end. The last date they created was that 2012 date and everyone misinterpreted as the end of the world.

    Thank you.

    I was beginnning to wonder if half of the world were totally stupid. Its good that someone spoke up. Yes, I'm shocked that it was Nasa. I figured for sure they were fueling this dumb end of world junk.

    The mayans didnt get to make the new calendar cos the Spanish killed them all.
    They made the first calendar then thought 'that will last a few years, when that runs out whoever is alive then can make the next one, its to much hassle to carve all that curly stuff' and they went and drank chocolate, the rest, as they say, is history.

    My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with the girl who says the world is going to end in 2012. I guess it's pretty serious.

    That's wrong, my sisters, boyfriends, cousins, baby momma said, that her mothers, ex husbands, fathers, baby momma said the Mayan calender is off by two months, it will end two months earlier...

    It's a sad state of affairs that NASA actually had to release that statement.

    Earths magnetics field is in the process of reversing and so is the suns, both are confirmed by NASA. They could have a major impact on our current lifestyles.

    You guys would love the work of discredited non-scientist Ken Ring and his disaster predictions.

    NASA would dismiss it anyway even if it was going to happen to maintain public order. Until something does happen we still have a civilization to maintain. So someone would have to take the emotional mature approach to the situation, and not the I'm going to tell the world cause I'm an jack ass approach to dealing with problematic information.

    The worst part of dying is the knowing you're going to die, the physiological torment that I'd cause would last a lot longer the the dying part.
