Hallmark may have missed the bus on this one. We'll all need, "Happy End of the World Greeting Cards".

Dec. 21st is the first day of Winter, and, according to the Mayan calendar, the End of the World.

No, Dec 21 is the end of the Mayan calendar, not the end of the world.

My father-in-law will turn 101 on 12/21/12. It would be a shame if he didn't get to eat his cake. I think that's what keeps him going.

If anyone would like to hear something scientific to go with this lot of fluff, today while driving I heard on the radio that a couple of days ago a 5km wide asteroid passed "noteworthily" close to Earth. It came within a length the equivalent of 18 times the distance between the Earth and the moon. The universe is a big place, so some might say that was actually relatively close. Perhaps this was the prophecized asteroid the mayans had been talking about. Better luck next time, boys.

Or it was the first in a series of asteroids that will pass by here over the next several weeks and with our position ever changing as we orbit our home star (the sun) we will travel directly into their projected trajectory in about 7-9 days or so.

December 21st does not mark the end of the world...the Mayan calendar foretold the end of Twinkies!

I'm gonna order a custom shop Strat worth like 10,000 on credit,
If nothing happens, I'll return it for a full refund...

leap year didnt come along until the age of the roman empire, so the mayan calander dont account for it. if you were to back out all the leap years to make it match the mayan calander, it means the world should've ended last july. just sayin....

If the Mayans had been so good at foreseeing the future they'd still be here...

Cheers - C

This year, CERN is beginning another set of experiments in hopes to getting that much closer to completing the Standard Model. Scientists at CERN have announced test dates for the rest of the year, as well as some curious dates can be found in the upcoming schedule. Starting Monday, December 17, 2012 and going through Friday, December 21, 2012, CERN will be launching and running a series of collisions, which are predicted to break records in high voltage collisions already set by the LHC. With these experiments, the scientists are hoping to create atomic reactions that would provide further information about anti-matter, and the big bang.

The test set for the week of December 17-21, 2012 is the final test before the LHC will shutdown operations for upgrades and will resume operation in 2014, assuming something doesn’t go wrong, in the minds of some of the scientists, terribly right, which causes the end of the world. I guess we will just have to see what happens. Let us know what you think, is CERN guilty of a self-fulfilling prophecy of destruction here?

Coincendence? Let’s hope so.. I really hope the scientists who deal with the LHC know what they are doing and have some kind of stopping mechanism in place in case something like that were to occur. I doubt they do.. ~Ophelia

Robert Zoller
Robert Zoller is a proponent of medieval astrology. Zoller’s predictions for the Age of Aquarius suggest that the Pisces world where religion is the opiate of the masses will be replaced in the Aquarian Age by a world ruled by secretive power-hungry elites seeking absolute power over others. Families will dissolve completely, or family ties will be hidden. Zoller also believes that knowledge in the Aquarian Age will only be valued for its ability to win wars; scientists may even be able to precipitate earthquakes for military means, and the danger in the Aquarian Age is that knowledge and science will be abused, not industry and trade. Zoller sees the Aquarian Age as a Dark Age in which religion will be seen as offensive.
