Recently, you might have noticed on various TV channels, news papers and internet websites that we are going to die on 21 Dec, 2012 because world is going to end on this date. The main reason behind this whole speculation is end of Mayan Calendar on 21 Dec, 2012. During Mayan times, they created a very accurate calendar which is even much better than our present calendar system. Mayan Calendar can accurately predict major solar events thousands of years before their occurrence, from this fact we can understand the accuracy of this calendar. However, Mayan Calendar strangely ends of 21 Dec, 2012.
Second on 21 Dec, 2012, our earth will be on straight line between our galaxy and sun (which is a once in thousand of year’s event). Many scientists believe that this situation can cause shift in the polar positions of earth. Third, online software created to predict future events is also predicting about major disaster on this date.
The latest big screen offering from Sony Pictures, 2012, shows the end of the world, supposedly based on theories backed by the Mayan calendar. The doomsday scenario revolves around claims that the end of time will come as an obscure Planet X — or Nibiru — collides with Earth.
The mysterious planet was supposedly discovered by the Sumerians, according to claims by pseudo-scientists, paranormal activity enthusiasts and Internet theorists. Some websites have accused the US space agency of concealing the truth about the wayward planet’s existence, but NASA has denounced such stories as an “Internet hoax.”
According to a report in the Telegraph, NASA said in a question-and-answer posting on its website, “There is no factual basis for these claims.” If such a collision were real, “astronomers would have been tracking it for at least the past decade, and it would be visible by now to the naked eye,” it said.
“Obviously, it does not exist,” it added. “Credible scientists worldwide know of no threat associated with 2012,” it insisted. After all, “our planet has been getting along just fine for more than four billion years,” added NASA.
Initial theories set the disaster for May 2003, but when nothing happened, the date was moved forward to the winter solstice in 2012, to coincide with the end of a cycle of the ancient Mayan calendar. NASA insisted the Mayan calendar does not in fact end on December 21, 2012, as another period begins immediately afterward; and it said there are no planetary alignments on the horizon for the next few decades.
Even if the planets were to line up as some have forecast, the effect on our planet would be “negligible,” NASA said.
The media is harping and lamenting on the same issue since such a long time. It is nothing beyond a shallow tact just to make a news. If you carefully observe the pattern of the coming up of such "end of world" articles, you will discover that they are presented to you as a delicious feast only when there is no other issue to talk about. Its just like some chat masala on your fruit salad.When the media feels that the public is bored of the serenity and monotony of settled life without any terrorist attacks or accidents, miss-happenings or natural calamities, they leave in this issue for a little bit of cha-cha-cha.
We as human beings are such petty things when looked at, considering the vastness of all that God has created and the precision of all His plans,how can we claim that we have come to know when the world will end?? It is beyond our power and ability. A man who cannot tell what may happen the very next moment, can he tell when the world might end??? Is it this easy for us to comprehend the exact time, mode of execution and the outcome of such a far off and grand event with so much confidence??? Doesn't all this sound a bit out of context and improbable??
Just chill friends, sit back and enjoy life fully!!!!!
