It might be time to go and get your cardboard sign suggesting that the end is near. Just like many other points in history, several predictions have coincided to point to a specific date, well at least a specific year, to bring about the end of our world as we know it. No other date than December 21, 2012 has received as much hype about being the end of the world, Y2K included. With this assured Armageddon, it has sent some people in search of answers to one question: 2012 Doomsday Fact or Fiction?
Most people when they search for answers in why the world will end in 2012 will first come across the evidence presented by the Mayan culture. These people showed exemplary knowledge in mathematics and the events and cycles of the solar system. Some people attribute this to a visit from extraterrestrial life, but we'll say for the sake of argument this was all them.
This calendar ends without reason on December 21, 2012, which has left those who have sought wisdom from it stranded. These people among many others feel that it is no coincidence that the calendar ends as it does; that this day must surely be the end of the world.
Further evidence comes from a book released in 2900 B. C. Known as the I Ching (or Book of Change). This book was filled with calculations and hexagrams, which were refined by Terrance McKenna to be made into a graph. This graph has been fairly accurate in predicting changes in the world or disasters based on the graphs peaks and valleys. Much like the Mayan calendar, this graph also stops in 2012 with no explanation.
Designed to predict the shifts and patterns of the stock market, the Web Bot is further responsible for fueling these theories of Armageddon. By compiling behavior patterns and discussions, the Bot has been over 90% accurate in maintaining a bead on the market. It has also been an indication of tragedies, as illustrated by its prediction of 9/11. The Bot has suggested a worldwide calamity to occur at the end of 2012.
Lastly, the planets are slated to line up with one up with one another in a line. This in theory could create a black hole in the middle of the Milky Way with unpredictable results. Some suggest that this alignment, which coincides with the last day of the Mayan calendar, is a major factor in the end of days.
But with every prediction is an equal argument to the contrary. For instance, as far as the Mayan calendar is concerned, many knowledgeable people on the Mayan culture believe more that the calendar is simply recycling over at one, and not predicting the end of the world. The Web Bot has been accredited with predicting 9/11, but what most people don't mention is that the Bot has predicted other major events and disasters that never happened.
For every doomsday theory, especially those surrounding 2012, there is an equal argument on either side of the coin. The truth is you need to decide if you believe it to be true or not, and if you do, you should prepare yourself how best you see fit.
