7 Ways The World MIGHT End

Scientific experts from around the world are genuinely predicting that five years from now, all life on Earth could well finish. Some are saying it'll be humans that set it off. Others believe that a natural phenomenon will be the cause. And the religious folks are saying it'll be God himself who presses the stop button...


1. Mayan Calendar



The first mob to predict 2012 as the end of the world were the Mayans, a bloodthirsty race that were good at two things:

Building highly accurate astrological equipment out of stone and
Sacrificing Virgins.

Thousands of years ago they managed to calculate the length of the lunar moon as 329.53020 days, only 34 seconds out. The Mayan calendar predicts that the Earth will end on December 21, 2012. Given that they were pretty close to the mark with the lunar cycle, it's likely they've got the end of the world right as well.

2. Sun Storms



Solar experts from around the world monitoring the sun have made a startling discovery: our sun is in a bit of strife. The energy output of the sun is, like most things in nature, cyclic, and it's supposed to be in the middle of a period of relative stability. However, recent solar storms have been bombarding the Earth with so much radiation energy, it's been knocking out power grids and destroying satellites. This activity is predicted to get worse, and calculations suggest it'll reach its deadly peak sometime in 2012

3. The Atom Smasher

Scientists in Europe have been building the world's largest particle accelerator. Basically its a 27km tunnel designed to smash atoms together to find out what makes the Universe tick. However, the mega-gadget has caused serious concern, with some scientists suggesting that it's properly even a bad idea to turn it on in the first place. They're predicting all manner of deadly results, including mini black holes. So when this machine is fired up for its first serious experiment in 2012, the world could be crushed into a super-dense blob the size of a basketball.

4. The Bible says...

If having scientists warning us about the end of the world isn't bad enough,religious folks are getting in on the act aswell. Interpretations of the Christian Bible reveal that the date for Armageddon, the final battle between Good an Evil, has been set down for 2012. The I Ching, also known as the Chinese book of Changes, says the same thing, as do various sections of the Hindu teachings.

5. Super Volcano



Yellowstone National Park in the United States is famous for its thermal springs and Old Faithful geyser. The reason for this is simple - it's sitting on top of the world's biggest volcano, and geological experts are beginning to get nervous sweats. The Yellowstone volcano has a pattern of erupting every 650,000 years or so, and we're many years overdue for an explosion that will fill the atmosphere with ash, blocking the sun and plunging the Earth into a frozen winter that could last up to 15,000 years. The pressure under the Yellowstone is building steadily, and geologists have set 2012 as a likely date for the big bang.

6. The Physicists

This one's case of bog-simple maths mathematics. Physicists at Berekely Uni have been crunching the numbers. and they've determined that the Earth is well overdue for a major catastrophic event. Even worse, they're claiming their calculations prove, that we're all going to die, very soon - while also saying their prediction comes with a certainty of 99 percent- and 2012 just happens to be the best guess as to when it occurs.

7. Slip-Slop-Slap-BANG!

We all know the Earth is surrounded by a magnetic field that sheilds us from most of the sun's radiation. What you might not know is that the magnetic poles we call north and south have a nasty habit of swapping places every 750,000 years or so - and right now we're about 30,000 years overdue. Scientists have noted that the poles are drifting apart roughly 20-30kms each year, much faster than ever before, which points to a pole-shift being right around the corner. While the pole shift is underway, the magnetic field is disrupted and will eventually disappear, sometimes for up to 100 years. The result is enough UV outdoors to crisp your skin in seconds, killing everything it touches.


This is not My personal opinion. This was posted just to start a little chat going about. Don't hurl abuse at me if ya don't like it :)

This makes me feel so happy to be 17 years old.

Anywho that's all cool and all, but I'd rather wait till then to worry. And trust me when it rolls around I'll remember what the year means.
I've got too much of a life to live to even think about that stuff right now though, I guess I could always warn some hot chick and see if she puts out though :P

TBH, might have just been best to add this into the other topic two post down about the end of the world.

Anyway, my father is very religious so it sucks...cause all my life while growing up...my father always told me that the world was gonna end soon. Example, like when I was six years old my father would tell me the world was gonna end. How is a child supposed to have a fun life if he is crying in his bed all day cause he's gonna die. Hate when people do stuff like that...

Exactly the way I feel. I owe over $500,000 which I'll never be able to pay off. Either the world ends or I'll just leave that problem for my kids when I pass.

Is there an 8th option? :lol:

Nah, we'll pass that hurtle when we get to it, just like Y2K. I personally don't think ANYTHING is going to happen in 2012....although telling a hot chick that the world is going to end seems like a good idea. :P

8. The global ecosystem gradually collapses and becomes unsustainable to human life because humans were too busy worrying about terrorists and theorizing about unrealistic ways that the world could suddenly be destroyed instead of doing things to fix the environment, which is a very realistic issue.

UNREALISTIC WAYS?

I think not.

The super volcano theory:Totally Proved

Mayan Theory: Not so much so fair play

These theorys have different credibilitys from each other but in the end of it some are EXTREMLEY realistic

Yes the environment is a very big issue,but if you ACTUALLY take a step back and look at it NO-ONE IS ACTUALLY LISTENING. Theres probably about 1,000,000 people on this whole planet who Actually give a damn about this planet and i mean REALLLLY care about it. So basically,we're fucked.

If it's our time to go, then it's our time to go. I fancy the Super Volcano theory, reminds me of a movie.

I guess if I could choose I would go with the Super Volcano like Young Snake. That was on a movie actually on Sci-Fi. I can't remember the name though.

This isn'tgonna turn out to be another "teh world will end on teh 666" bullcrap things is it?

To tell the truth, I don't care when the world ends, if it happens it happens. If it was preventable, however (like a fucking nuclear war) then that'd be shit.

But I reckon these people just like to get their kicks from scaring people with tales of Doomsday. Perhaps they should take life more seriously than how it will end for a change, worry about issues at hand, rather than theories on Earth's demise.

All I know is if you decide not to pay your taxes in the year 2012 because of this there might be a lot of audits.

Seriously though, the atom smasher thing sound interesting. I am going to look into that more.
