What is your thoughts ?

[bassist_25]

A bunch of hype, just like Y2K.

Thats a good day to make sure you're done shopping for 12-25-12

This is how I think about it. At the time the Myans made the calendar, they didn't account for leap year. Mostly because it hasn't been invented yet. Now there have been around 514 leap years since the calendar was made. So the earth should have ended some where around June of 2011.

Don't matter really.....can't do shit about it right?

Winter is over...why talk about next winter already?

i don't think that's correct. the mayan calendar is more accurate than our calendar. you don't really "invent" a leap year, the earth's orbit is as long as the earth's orbit. The mayans accounted for this.

I could be wrong. I am sure there is someone who knows more about it than I do, as I now very little. I am still doing some research to make sense of it all. Either way, we will see what happens come December 21. Even though I don't think anything will actually happen.

The Mayans were pretty smart people with this stuff...don't you think that when you get to the the end of their timeline cycle that you are just supposed to go back to the beginning of it?

My understanding is just that the calendar ends. As for where it goes after that, I don't know. I don't believe the world is going to end that day. Which a lot of people do.

Yes, well, our calendar ends with December 31...so then you get a new calendar that starts over at January 1st. The only difference is that we base ours on the revolution of the earth around the sun and the Mayans apparently based theirs on the tilt cycle of the earth's axis or "wobble".

[BloodyFingers]

Cool. it's not this December, the following December. 2012 not 2011. It will be interesting to see how the human race handles the weeks before. There are a lot of nuts out there that believe this. They are the ones that will be causing all the problems.

It's just going to be interesting though....!

[Lowender]

I sure hope nobody goes extreme like the heavens gaters. Was sad so may got sucked in like that.

So you are saying that you think it will just start over? That does make sense if you look at it that way.

@ Jeff LMAO!

I don't think anything is going to happen planet wise. But there are 1000's that do.

I feel that in the days counting down there will be certain groups of these people that will be doing what ever they feel like doing cause they have nothing else to live for.

This is where the problem is going to be.

How ever according to the info I have read the planets are to be in a straight alinement. This has never happened in our life time. Suppose to be so many 1000's of years between this alinement.. This where the scientific community thinks that the earth will change it's magnetic structure and life will end as we know it.

It is interesting to read all the different views that the scientific community has on this.

I think the Mayan calendar maker just died. It was carved in stone, so obviously it was a lifetime of work to chisel out thousands of years. And when this guy finally kicked it, nobody else knew what the hell he was doing!
