I think the mayans had help from aliens to build things and teach them to communicate. Maybe the aliens gave them a calendar and have either been to the future so their calendar would be right or they are making these things happen sort of like the calendar was a program for a show.

This is just my opinion but I think the world will continue to spin. I think people will be born and people will die, they will love and hate, just like they are doing right now. Honestly I am sick and tired of people wondering will the world will end. I think people should just live their lives without wondering about the end of the world because mankind is already troubled enough without wondering about it. But like I said, this is just my opinion.
Legends never die.

I think the world as we know it will end. the magnetic poles with switch and that will cause some kind of event. humans will continue to exist as will the world.
i think we should be looking at more serious issues like the greenhouse effect and the ozone hole, then a mayan calender.
but wouldn't it be cool if aliens were to land.

I agree but i finally gave up and said if the world is gonna end let it end. I mean even if we knew it was gonna end we couldn't stop it. right?Fyre wrote:i think we should be looking at more serious issues like the greenhouse effect and the ozone hole, then a mayan calender.

Here's what i could find on rifts:DragonRider wrote:Have you heard of rifts?
Rifts: a roleplaying game
Rifts: tectonic rifts, as in the place where two plate boundarys meet. So there's a North american rift for example (San Andreas
Rift: something between two people. Ie, something wrong
Any of those?[/b]

So the world end because the sun is located at the center of a picture of their deities' pantheon... Honestly, it's not exactly something I am alarmed of. Beside, if their calendar end in 2012, one must take into account that the same calendar begin in 3114 BC. Yet I doubt the world started that date so I see no reason for the world to pop out of existence at the end of it either.http://www.levity.com/eschaton/Why2012.html wrote: The standard question to answer became: what does 0.0.0.0.0 (the Long Count "beginning" point) equal in the Gregorian calendar? When this question is answered, archeological inscriptions can be put into their proper historical context and the end date of the 13-baktun cycle can be calculated. After years of considering data from varied fields such as astronomy, ethnography, archeology and iconography, J. Eric S. Thompson determined that 0.0.0.0.0 correponded to the Julian date 584283, which equals August 11th, 3114 B.C. in our Gregorian calendar. This means that the end date of 13.0.0.0.0, some 5125 years later, is December 21st, 2012 A.D.1
...
Here is a full view of the sky at noon on December 21st, 2012 A.D. The band of the Milky Way can be seen stretching from the lower right to the upper left. The more or less vertical dotted line indicates the Galactic Equator. The planets can be seen tracing a roughly horizontal path through the chart, indicating the ecliptic. The sun, quite strikingly, is dead center in the Sacred Tree.
I'm not sure if this was the cause for the date stated in the poll, so feel to elaborate.

how? I mean we have not got nearly the technology to leave so we have possibilities.DragonRider wrote:We could escape.
1. Kind aliens save us.
2. Our governments disclose secret technology.
3. Jesus returns, saves us all.
4. Earth is slung freakishly to another orbit where we are safe for a few billion years.
5. The sun burns out everything hits absolute zero and nothing moves again... ever,

True I understand where you are coming from now only one problem i see. How? I know of two ways to create a rift:
Magic: I'm know master wizard or spellcaster,I can spin basic healing songs and remove simple fears and when im emotionaly charged almost to shifting i can inflict pain. but i have never heard of a way to craft a rift other than in storybooks. Although dragons , I have heard, are magical...
Technologically: Sorry I still don't believe we are this advanced.Unless aliens help us.

maybe if we are lucky the dragons will think us worthy enough to reviel themselves to us and save us before the world ends
If you were to juggle a lion, and a house cat, the end result would look something like a tattered chunk of red fabric. The cat would scratch anything within reach, and the lion would just eat you. The lesson to learn? Make sure you eat your spinach.

I have a way to escape!!
1. Find deepest volcano on Earth.
2. Place Giant Rocket in crater
3. Seal it up, though not to tight
4. Place nuclear bomb set to go off at a certain temperature spike.
5. Wait for Wormwood to strike and cause the internal pressure to spike, causing the bomb to blow effectivly blowing the rocket a good distance to hopefully make it to the next system. It will take several generations but it might work.

or we can devote the worlds funds to achieving absolute zero freeze ourselves and leave a team of one hundred people to jetison all others into space.
