Yes a coronal mass ejection can wipe us out anytime, a supernova can wipe us out at anytime, an asteroid can wipe us out at anytime, despite the odds we are still here, and I happen to believe there is a reason for that. Our recorded history is very short, not even long enough to know what climate is normal. There is something pecular about Mayan mathematics, they had to modify their system to fit the length of a year, so how can we believe the count means anything
You said that "there will be changes coming as we pull away from the center of the galaxy and go through this phaze [sic]," so I'm wondering what changes you are referring to? I'm looking for any event that you believe would be caused or influenced by the position of the solar system within the galctic disk - none of the events you mention are influenced by that (as far as we know).Quote:

Given how crazy people have become I suspect we humans are more affected than we realize.

Clearly the earth's magnetic field is important, and in fact if it disappeared tomorrow we'd all be dead shortly thereafter. But I'm not sure what you mean by "solar fields affect our own magnetic field" - can you clarify how this works?Quote:

The whole Mayan calender is predicated on this 26,000 year cycle when our sun and earth align itself with the center of the milky way and also Venus's journey between earth and the sun. Not only does this suggest a deep understanding of the relationship with earth, the sun, and other planets but heavenly bodies that are even further out, like the center of our galaxy that's a part of an even greater galaxy.
Not just the Mayans but many old civilizations that when plotted out have many landmarks in perfect symmetry along lines of longitude and latitude that are to perfect for chance or coincidence and many believe that ancient man could actually chart the lines of the magnetic field of the earth that originate in the poles both north and south.
There are many accounts of ancient man seeing this precise time as a catalyst that will affect us and the inhabitants in adverse ways like the moons waxing and waning effects the tides, but I don't know about the gloom and doom stuff, but being water, minerals, and metals its logical that cosmic forces affect the earth and the inhabitants.
To a large extent the alignment of these solar forces have put us in a direct line to the full exposure to those forces with only our atmosphere to protect us. Its no coincidence that this alignment occurs during the winter solstice as many cultures on earth celebrate this time in many ways across the earth. Its no coincidence that its in the land of the Mayans that Venus will be seen at a certain time and place during this alignment because the Mayans have predicted this would happen through scientific means.
This alignment affects our sun, and us, but how? I don't know. They say that it will be heralded by earthquakes, and storms, and volcanic eruptions, and tidal waves. Seen any of those happening?
No more so than usual Tal, you cannot have it both ways, either the increased intensity of storms is due to AGW or it is due to cosmic forces. Either Earthquakes and volcanic activity is due to plate techtonics or it is due to cosmic forces. Either tsumani are due to earthquakes or they are due to plate techtonics. To suggest plate techtonics are due to cosmic forces that cannot be measured is ridiculousQuote:

Wrong. The solar system takes 240 miilion years to orbit about the Milky Way, not 26,000 years. But of course the Mayans had no way to know that.Quote:

You need to be careful to not confuse what the Mayans believed with what New Agers today would like to say the Mayans believed. In reality they knew absolutely nothing about the structure of the Milky Way Galaxy or our solar system's place in it. Any idea that their long count calendar is somehow concident with the solar system's movement is just plain hooey. And also you should be aware that the whole idea that the Mayans predicted anything for December 22, 2012, or even that their calendar ends on that date, is incorrect - purposeful misinformation by people today eager to cash in on predictions of cataclism.Quote:

I think someone has made a best fit based on later knowledge which was unknown to the Mayans. We don't know what was known to them and what wasn't, the spaniards, in their religious zeal, destroyed most of the civilisations records and what we do know is from deciphering stone inscriptions. Even their calendar is a best fit, they modified their mathematic system to fit the year. Who derives a calendar on a 20.20.20.18.20 notation system, it is even more irrational than our 12.31/30/28.7 system if anything could be and absolutely meaningless in cosmic terms

There is a thinking that we may shift slightly between gravitational forces in the universe. To be more specific the effects of the bar (spiral arm) that we are located in. It is thought that alaignments of gravitational forces can cause subtle changes in our sun. What exactly we don't know for sure. That is why we have to monitor it closely.
Ah! So Hollywood is in charge of the "allignment"! That explains a lot.Quote:

There are changes in the sun all the time, the idea that cosmic bodies influence us by gravitational or any other force is known as astrology. This is not science but nonsense. There are gravational distortions close to suns, singularities and so forth but to suggest they can predict cataclysm through primitive calculations hundreds even thousand of years ago is nonsense. Where is niburu, has it been sighted yet? Should be showing up by now. Where is that asteroid, are we not looking in the right place? Or is it composed of dark matter, or even more mysterious, dark energy. I think I had better go and don my tin foil hat. You want to check out some theories, check this out

All I can say is the end of her world is indeed coming
See you all on December 23. How many times do we have to have end of the world predictions that never happen, before we stop obsessing about this crap?
If it ends, there's nothing you can do about it. If it doesn't, it's just more proof that these sort of predictions are bull cacka.
I'm buying Christmas gifts, because there will be a Christmas. I'm doing what I normally do. If it happens, well, it happens. But I'd bet a million dollars that it doesn't happen. Kind of a win win for me if you take that bet. :)

There was a planetary alignment back in 1982 and 2003 where six planets aligned, and nothing happened. Nothing will happen come the 21st. As for the Mayan calendar, well... it's the end of the cycle and another begins.
I remember when Nostradomos predicted the world was going to end in the mid 90's when I was a kid, and nothing happened. Y2k was a big deal and nothing happened...
If planet x were appraohing, then we would be able to see it by now, don't you think?
And if the world were to end, then there is nothing we can do about it.
I honestly don't know why I am posting in this thread. Really, I don't.
For those who believe it will happen, quick, get off your computer and go out there and have some amazing hot sex before this day takes place!
It is optional you knowQuote:
