US space agency NASA, says 21.12.12 is going to
be just another day and has put forward five
scientific arguments debunking the rumours: 1. The issue with December 21, 2012 and the
predicted disasters that some folks think will
come, probably started with the so-called end of
the Mayan calendar. Their calendar does not end
on December 21, 2012. It's just the end of the
cycle and the beginning of a new one. It's just like on December 31st, our calendar comes to an
end but a new calendar for the next year begins
on January 1st. 2. Niburu is supposed to be a planet that's four
times the size of the Earth. It's going to get very
close to the Earth and cause all kinds of disasters.
So this enormous planet is suppose to be coming
toward Earth, but if it were, we would've seen it
long ago and if it were invisible somehow, we would've seen the affects of this planet on
neighbouring planets. Thousands of astronomers
who scan the night skies on a daily basis have
not seen this. And then there's folks who think that NASA
astronomers are actually hiding this information
so as to prevent panic from the populous. Can
you imagine thousands of astronomers who
observe the skies on a nightly basis keeping the
same secret from the public for several years? 3. Some folks think there's going to be a solar
storm associated with December 21st of 2012.
Now, solar storms do exist. The sun's activity
goes through a cycle that reaches a maximum
every eleven years. The next solar maximum
when you might expect enhanced solar activity will take place actually in May of 2013. It's
supposed to be fairly mild solar activity
maximum and there's no evidence that there's
going to be any solar storms. 4. And then we have planetary alignments.
There's a planetary alignment. The sun, the Earth
and some of the planets are aligned and this is
going to cause some tidal effects on the Earth
that's going to be catastrophic. Well, first of all,
there are no planetary alignments in December of 2012 and even if there were, there are no tidal
effects on the Earth as a result. The only two bodies in the solar system that can
affect the Earth's tides are the moon, which is
very close, and the sun, which is massive and
also fairly close. But the other planets have a
negligible effect on the Earth. 5. One of the myths for December 21, 2012 is
that the Earth's axes are going to somehow shift.
The rotation axis can't shift because of the orbit
of the moon around the Earth stabilises it and
doesn't allow it to shift. The magnetic field does shift from time to time
but the last time it did was 740,000 years ago
and it doesn't do that sort of a shift but every
half million years or so. But there's no evidence
that's going to happen in December and even if it
were to be shifting, it takes thousands of years to do so. And even if it did shift it's not going to cause a
problem on the Earth apart from the fact that
we're going to have to recalibrate our
compasses. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary
evidence. Since the beginnning of recorded time,
there have been literally hundreds of thousands
of predictions for the end of the world and we're
still here.
