DOOMSDAY 2012!!!!

ive heard alot about there being lots of things that are supposed to happen in 2012 to end the world lol. i was just wondering what they are. i dont believe any ive already heard tho lol

my favourite 1 i heard about is that a massive planet called nibiru will come past earth in 2012 and the gravity will cause massive disasters that will destroy the world lol. and i also heard an extension of this where some aliens called the anunaki, omg lol, are supposed to come across and teach humanity technology. and we are supposed to have been modified from apes that lived here anyway to mine gold for them.

jesus lol what a load of crap!!!

does anyone have any better ones than this?

Hey dude,

This Nibiru things was discussed a while ago in another thread, which is located here: http://psychforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=28692
It is a mythological planet but, if it IS real, then it is most likely just a comet that comes exceptionally close to Earth. The most insane end-of-world story that I can think of is the one in the Bible but I won't go into that too much because I know that there are religious people who frequent this website. Other than that, the only other end-of-world stories that I can think of all center around asteroids or comets that are expected to make close fly-bys of Earth over the coming few centuries.

No no, I won't be deleting this. This topic is slightly different than the other one.

'Planet X' turned out to be a Dwarf-Planet, didn't it? What was it called - Eris? Most of these new 'planets' that are found now are just Trans-Neptunian Objects and are dwarf-planets. Their orbits ensure that that cannot be classified as true planets, just like Pluto is no longer a planet.

To my knowledge, Planet X was never "found" (and the vast majority of astronomers today believe it does not exist, at least in the form it was orginially thought). The search for Planet X began before the discovery of Pluto, based on observations made of discrepancies in the orbits of the gas giants. When Pluto was discovered, it was believed that it was the Planet X, at least until calculations of its mass showed that it was far too small to affect the orbits of the gas giants. As I understand it, Planet X was believed to have to be very large (certainly much larger than Pluto). No such object has been found. Updated calculations of Neptune's mass also solved the orbit discrepancies.

However, many Pluto-sized objects have been found far beyond Pluto. Eris and Sedna are just a couple examples and are among the largest. These objects originate in the Kuiper Belt and Oort Cloud of our solar system; Pluto itself is considered a Kuiper Belt object.

Yeh, I know. There are countless icy-bodies in the Kuiper Belt and Oort Cloud - It's fascinating to think of. Im' sure that if they allowed the Hubble or Spitzer Space Telescopes to scan for these icy-bodies (or Trans-Neptunian Objects), they could probably unearth thousands of them; and many of them would be large enough to be classified as dwarf-planets.

Someone I know was actually talking to me about that the other day, the world ending in 2012. I don't really believe it, but who knows? World War 3 seems like it can happen within the next few years. Perhaps that will be the end?

Yes, there will be another World War at some point, and it could be huge. From my viewpoint, it seems as if there are two enormous sides in the world now: Russia, Venezuela, Bolivia, Iran, China, & North Korea on one side; and the USA, Canada, the EU countries, and Japan on the other. This could be absolutely huge and, if a war happened now, the Russians et al. would easily win.

Seriously? I don't think that he would be, but who knows. I'm very surprised that George Bush Jnr. hasn't had an assassination attempt against him actually. There certainly will be wars in the future though, because resources in the world are dwindling and nations such as the USA, Russia, and China will want to stay on top. THe only way to do that is to 'beat-up' and bully the smaller nations.

yeah i also think the whole original point or at least a large part of why they invaded iraq was to try and secure alot of oil. and they didnt even find any weapons of mass destruction there.

its quite annoying how they wont leave either. i know they want to try and make the country stable but its not really working and most people dont want troops there anymore. iraq and the rest of those countrys needs to find there own way through the problems they have i think. you cant just suddenly teach a whole country what we learned over a long time, as has pretty much been proven.
