It's impossible for the world to endi in either 2012 or 2039 because it ended at the stroke of midnight day one the year 2000. Remember that? When the world ended?

Wrong. This used to be the theory, but now scientists say the universe is expanding at an INCREASING rate...possibly due to the "dark matter" that makes up the majority of the universe. So get it right next time, butterscotch.

I think tomorrow isn't looking good.

It's a funny thing that you say that, about an ancient civilzation. As time goes by and researchers around the world find more relics, artifacts, ruins and other information about history and are better able to decode the old langauges (sp?). We as a modern civilization are finding out more and more about the ancients, and are finding that some past civilizations and empires, had been much more advanced in science and simple technology then we had ever thought or believed them to be. The Romans and Greeks and the anicent chinese are among some of the most culturally and technologically advanced civilizations. The chinese in particular are credited with having coming up with a structural that was several stories tall that could tell you on what day and time where the earth would be in relationship to the know planets and other celestial things known at the time. Perhaps a bunch of indians who had the means and knowledge to build stone strucutres that where several stories high in the middle of the jungle, where a little more advanced then just a bunch of indians in the middle of the jungle.

Only if the second hand smoke doesn't get ya' first.

didn't the discovery channed report something about this earlier this year, but the year the planet was doomed was 205something? then they measured again, and we are just going to be okay?

whatever, i already cashed out and spent my retirement funds. if they world doesn't end, i'm just going to kill myself anyway.

C'mon guys... everyone is doing. it's the cool thing to do. I'm soo one of the conscious ones..








You're all a bunch of non-mutating losers.

I saw the same episode. Here in a few years it is supposed to pass through. Then it is supposed to collide years later as stated. Alot can change in that time, but as I recall it was not considered a global killer. It would create mass destruction, but our species should be able to survive. The funny thing is that they think they can stop this from happening, but the government currently only has 4 people working on a solution. Our Nasa dollars at work. Soldiers in Iraq don't have armor, but the people at Nasa all got bright new pocket protectors. By the way I love the use of definately/maybe and "will no longer be extinct"...... you mean we will all live after a Big Bang?

You know what they say, "Measure twice, predict the end of human civilization once."

Here's the thing. Most people are fairly... ignorant about most everything and they think that all past society was the equivalent of monkeys eating the bugs out of each others hair. They don't realize that much of what we have now is nothing more than the advancement of an idea/technology created in the distant past. Very little of what we have wasn't at least conceived by people still wearing a robe and sandals to work. So these folks (the majority of society) are amazed when they learn that they could do things, like math. What's even funnier is the same people who are shocked by this revelation are the same ones who can only do the most simple functions without resorting to current tech to give them the answer.

But the fact that they could in no way makes them able to predict the future. If they could I'm sure the mayan calender would have been much shorter. Because lets face it if I'm Mr. Joe Mayan, working on the calender and find out that my entire civilization was ending next wednesday, I'd probably throw an orgy, sacrifice a few virgins and call it a day instead of banging the calender out to the year 2039.

And why 2039 anyway? Anyone think that maybe the guy just got bored with the project?
