I'm not superstitious but its really starting to feel like the universe is working against the LHC. In reality, a 27km long machine is going to have huge statistical odds of problems.

i was reading the other day about the end of the world and one guy had this odd theory, basicly indians and black people are the only ones native to this planet, white people were supposably from another planet, he says 2012 is when the ship comes back and picks us up. i read this as another crazy crack pot, but then i started thinking as reguards to aspies wrong planet syndrome!

maybe thats what it is

i still think the end of the world will be palin for president 2012

From another site...

The LHC will opperate at half power in 2011, then undergo repairs in 2012. Is this really just so they won't have to deal with end of the world types? If I were them, I'd announce the restart date as December 21, 2012 just to mess with people." plus comments. reddit.com (site accessed Feb 2010)

I agreed. :lol:

So true, that is only the start date, the world will continue and the end of the age will take many years.

From the time we see the Feathered Serpent, when it lights up after passing the gas giants, swims around the sun, and goes back out, could be many years. Then the sunward falling junk, will take many more years to settle down.

Unlike the little long period comets that go near the sun, this one may be near earth orbit, the view will be fantastic.

Really, and here I was thinking it was all fact :lol:

Do many people actually believe this?

I find it intriguing. I don't think the Mayans were right, but I find it amazing how much 2012 is coming up as a focal point for several political, scientific, religious agendas.

You'd be surprised at just how many do, as an inmate of the school system I have encountered many who believe it.

The end of the Fifth Sun is based on the first four suns, that did end, and the period of a sun is 26,000 years.

This covers a time since humans were able to say, What's that?

The major metor craters are on a 26,000 year cycle.

The Mayans and Sumarians agree as to the date, Both say a large body comes around the sun, both say it ends the age and brings total change.

Two writen historic records, mile wide holes in the ground that do date on a 26,000 cycle.

The best example of the last wave in in Mauritania, a mile wide crater from 26,000 years ago, Barringer in Arizona, 52,000 years ago, there are a lot more.

The earth was very hot, sea level seven meters higher, then comes a sudden ice age, five kilometers of ice covers large parts of the world.

The Fifth Sun was born in fire and ice.

Yes, if you choose some arbitrary figure then you can find some aberrant estimates of all kinds of things that happen to "agree" with it. Cherry-picking bad data makes good whacky theories. We could probably get rich if we make it plausible enough.

26,000 years is five Mayan Long Counts.

It is also what the Sumarians said, Marduk comes every 26,000 years.

The temporal grouping of craters is documented.

26,000 years ago a huge wave hit the US East Coast, going hundreds of miles inland, till it hit the mountains.

Four out of five will hit the oceans, every culture has flood stories.

The God comes when we enter the Mouth of the Dragon.

What a great time to be alive.

I still dont believe it would be the end. Its obviously just a calculated time period of a rare cosmic alignment.

If a drowning tidal wave happens, Im high enough to survive, so meh. The movie 2112 isnt based on scientific fact FFS, yet the masses of humans believing it makes me facepalm so damn hard. Maybe I should start wishing for an epically huge disaster to happen just so that all the stupid can get wiped out :/

Well you can expect a slow start to the Sixth Sun, and it is an alignment, every 26,000 years we reach the Dragon's Mouth, where the Milky Way has a dark spot, where the Great Serpent is eating it's tail, Oraboros.

This time we are also crossing the Galatic Plane, which happens every 35 million years, give or take a week, and two back, we lost most of our lizards. That cycle does seem to match the extinctions of record.

The Galatic Plane seems like the rings of Saturn, where the spare parts hang out. We bobble up and down.

There has been a lot of astronomy directed at the trans Neptune non planets, there is more than Pluto out there, and they are moving. There is something getting a lot of interest, and no one is talking.

A 26,000 year comet would spend most of it's time just hanging out there, and not much going around the sun. Most comets are spotted after they pass the gas giants and light up.

The long period comets we know have been very predictable, and period does match size, a 26,000 year would be huge.

Comets produced fear in our recent past, some large ones seem to be recorded when they were an unknown, large and non returning, and shown in paintings as being seen in the day time. We have not had any like that.

I guess I just look on the bright side, the oldest stories say, "His passage cleanses the earth, and brings a thousand years of peace."

The history of the earth has been a special interest of mine, and it is a cycle, nine extinctions, metors in waves, but the earth survived, and so did people, not all of them, but enough.

I see it like Cowboy Bebop, an age of meteor rain, coastal cities smashed, and the survivors get used to it.

No one in Earth Science would say, there will never be another big quake in California, that the New Madrid fault will not be the largest quake we have known, and soon, or that the Yellowstone Caldera will never erupt again.

Our relationship with the Solar System, and it in the Milky Way, will continue.

There was a planet on the other side of Mars, until fairly recently.

well yeah, pointing it out this way makes me piece together what ya said earlier a bit better. I tend to regard old stories/tales as just that, stories, especially because of how imagery was used in ages past. For all we know, the star of Bethlehem was a nova XD.

Cosmic weather. The Vela X supernova of 11,000 years ago seems to have ended the ice age. Reports say it would have been brighter than the full moon, from a single point, and would cast shadows in the daytime. It could have been a single event, or lasted a thousand years.

Things like that get remembered, and used in later stories. It was 1,500 light years away.
