Will The World End On The 21st Of December 2012?

There are many different theories going around about the world ending on the 21st of December. Here are some of the theories.

Mayan Calendar Theory:

The Mayan Calendar is a 5,125 year 'Long Count' that ends on the 21st of December 2012. Most people aren't taking this lightly and are ready for the Apocalypse. Some Americans have bought guns, supplies and shelters to ride out the Apocalypse. But this calendar has nothing what-so-ever to do with our calendar and probably won't symbolise the end of the world.

Galactic Alignment Apocalyptic Theory:

There is a number of alignment theories which could mean the end of the world. One of the theories is that when the galactic alignment apocalyptic occurs, where the sun is in between the earth and Sagittarius A* a massive black hole in the centre of our galaxy, on December 21st, it would create great havoc on Earth like earthquakes, Tsunamis etc. But this has already happened in 1988 and nothing happened.



Solar Flares + Weak Magnetic Field Theory:

Another theory is that a geomagnetic reversal or a pole reversal will be triggered by solar flares, brief eruptians of radiation from the sun's surface, and it would release the same amount of energy as 100million atomic bombs. This theory is supported by the fact that scientists observing the magnetic field have noticed that it has been getting weaker and weaker. This could precede a reversal of the North and South magnetic fields and the arrival of the next solar maximum, which is expected sometime around 2012.

Most scientific estimates, however, say that geomagnetic reversals take between 1,000 and 10,000 years to complete and do not start on any particular date.


There have been many theories this year of the world ending but none have them have actually happened so what's to say that this one won't be true? In my opinion I think that it won't happen, and that people shouldn't be worried.
