2012, the End of the World and Jesse Ventura

Posted on 19th January 2010 by in 2012 - Tags: , , , , , , ,

Do you know who Jesse Ventura is? He is the outspoken ex-governor of Minnesota. You either love him or hate him. Recently, he did an investigative TV show on the 2012 end of the world prophecy and an alleged conspiracy by our government to hide the truth of the potential perils associated with that date.

Conspiracies and prophecies aside, Governor Ventura raised or uncovered some interesting scientific publications that have not received much press.

According to National Academy of Sciences in a report commissioned by NASA and published in 2009, our Sun’s solar flare activity is expected to peak in 2012. Disturbingly, the report compares this forecasted activity with the solar outbreak of 1859 that fried telegraph wires throughout the modern world.

Do you think that solar flare activity would cause a major if not catastrophic disruption of our lifestyle like the movie, 2012? Sit back. The National Academy of Sciences estimates that, “A contemporary repetition of the [1859] event would cause significantly more extensive (and possibly catastrophic) social and economic disruptions.”

What does that mean? In a NASA report summarizing the Academy of Sciences report, NASA estimates that the damage would reach 1 to 2 Trillion dollars in damages.
Let’s compare that to Hurricane Katrina. Hurricane Katrina cost us an estimated 80 to 120 Billion dollars. 1 to 2 Trillion is 1000 to 2000 times greater! I think you would agree that is a significant difference!

It is not the dollars. It is the collateral damage, the social damage. Water, sewage, refrigeration, fuel, all these and more would be damaged if not eliminated. Due to the technological infrastructure, rebuilding our electric grid could take years. Are you prepared? Not many of us are.

Alarmingly, NASA’s Themis satellites now show that the magnetic shield that protects us from the Sun’s deadly emissions has holes in it. With a solar emission of large proportions, we can only guess at the consequences.

Whatever you may think about the Mayan 2012 end of the world prophesy, science has some very disturbing predictions for 2012. I believe in science. It gives humanity some sense of truth. We all know science cannot explain many things. Some things are left to faith. But, when science and the metaphysical meet, perhaps it is time to pay attention.

The Mayans predicted the end of the world, as we know it, in 2012. Scientists know that our Sun is in a valley of solar flares, it peaks in cycles. The National Academy of Sciences and NASA predict the end of the valley and a peak of a new cycle for 2012. Coincidence? I don’t know.

Are you willing to take the chance that the New Agers and the doomsday soothsayers are wrong?

2012 Prophecy – The End of the World – Three Years Left

Posted on 21st December 2009 by in 2012 - Tags: , , , , ,

The 2012 Mayan Calendar Prophecy depicts an end to the world, as we know it. There are only three years left. Is there any truth to it? Is it just another Y2K media blast filled with fear and foreboding?

You know as I do that what happens three years from now is still up in the air. Scientists and scholars do not agree on the translation of the Mayan codex that refers to December 21, 2012, let alone its meaning.

The meaning of the 2012 calendar is left to new age philosophers, modern day doomsday soothsayers, publicists, and moviemakers. Did you see the movie 2012? That was one heck of a ride.

What does the calendar say? Literally, the Mayan calendar ends on that date. The Mayan Long Calendar cycle ends. But, does that imply the end of all time? Our calendar ends on December 31, at midnight. It does not mean that time has ended.

We all know or at least we expect a new dawn when we arise. Did the Mayan intend anything different? You be the judge.

The words in the codex refer to a Mayan god, Bolon Yookte’ K’uh. This god is a god of war, conflict, and the underworld.

In 1966, Michael D. Coe, famed archaeologist and anthropologist, wrote in his book, The Maya, that on that date Bolon Yookte’ K’uh will rise up and vanquish the degenerate of the world.

The end of the world enthusiasts use that interpretation along with forecasted high solar activity, alignment of the Sun with the center of the galaxy, and references to the end of days by other cultures and civilizations as the basis for their beliefs.  Could the Second Coming and Armageddon be near?

Did you know that even the interpretation of the date in the text varies? The date December 21, 2012 is not the only date interpreted by scholars. Some think the date should be December 23, 2012.

The difference in dates is due to which calendar is used to work backwards, Gregorian or Julian. The problem is that there is a leap year between year one BC and year one AD. It is a little more complicated, but that is the simple explanation.

You probably have an opinion about December 21, 2012. Many of us do. However, it raises the question as to why so many are concerned about this date. Is it an innate global consciousness? Is it Hollywood publicity?

It comes down to your own system of beliefs and fears. We have three years left before we will know for sure. I, for one, want to learn all that I can both fact and conjecture, just in case. Maybe you should too.

Decide for yourself. Is 2012 the end of the world? Prepare for the possibilities. Why not be prepared and arm yourself with knowledge?

2012 – The End of the World and The Science of it All

Posted on 4th December 2009 by in 2012 - Tags: , , , , , ,

Did you see the movie, 2012? There was probably more science in that movie than in all the words written about 2012, the end of the world. Why can I say that? Think of the technology that went into creating the special effects of that movie. I swear it looked like real life photography.

I saw people falling into mile deep crevices, skyscrapers collapsing, and an angry sea devouring the coastline with its mile high tsunami. Not knowing any better, I could have believed that a National Geographic camera operator was recording the devastation. That is good cinematography.

I suspect that the director, Roland Emmerich, got the idea from the prophecy of the Mayan Long Calendar prediction. Do you know how many times the Mayan prophecy was mentioned in the movie? Once.

I can only guess that the prophecy was not mentioned more often because there is not much scientific information to back up the claims of the cataclysmic soothsayers.

Here is what science we do know about the Mayan prediction.

  • The Mayan were great astronomers and mathematicians.
  • The Mayan recorded the paths of celestial bodies.
  • They recorded time in cycles. One of those cycles ends on December 21, 2012. A new one begins.
  • Associated with the codex that identifies that date, a reference is made to one of their gods, Bolon Yookte’ K’uh. This god is a god of war, conflict, and the underworld.
  • The translation of the codex refers to blackness and the descent of the god, Bolon Yookte’ K’uh.

That is it. Everything else is conjecture and, well, prophecy. Much has been inferred from a simple archaeological discovery.

Before we get to arrogant in our criticism of cataclysmic soothsayers and our quest for indisputable truth, we should recognize that even scientists dispute the translation of that codex. As early as 1966, Michael D. Coe, famed archaeologist and anthropologist, wrote in his book, The Maya:

there is a suggestion… that Armageddon would overtake the degenerate peoples of the world and all creation on the final day of the thirteenth [b'ak'tun]. Thus… our present universe [would] be annihilated on December 24, AD 2011, [later revised to December 23, 2012] when the Great Cycle of the Long Count reaches completion.” [Wikipedia].

It comes down to your own system of beliefs and fears. I, for one, want to learn all that I can both fact and conjecture, just in case. Maybe you should too.

Decide for yourself. Is 2012 the end of the world? Prepare for the possibilities. Why not be prepared and arm yourself with knowledge?
