2012 Mayan Apocalypse Rumors Have Dark Side, NASA Warns

NASA scientists took time on Wednesday (Nov. 28) to soothe 2012 doomsday fears, warning against the dark side of Mayan apocalypse rumors — frightened children and suicidal teens who truly fear the world may come to an end Dec. 21.
These fears are based on misinterpretations of the Mayan calendar. On the 21st, the date of the winter solstice, a calendar cycle called the 13th b'ak'tun comes to an end. Although Maya scholars agree that the ancient Maya would not have seen this day as apocalyptic, rumors have spread that a cosmic event may end life on Earth on that day.
Thus NASA's involvement. The space agency maintains a 2012 information page debunking popular Mayan apocalypse rumors, such as the idea that a rogue planet will hit Earth on Dec. 21, killing everyone. (In fact, astronomers are quite good at detecting near-Earth objects, and any wandering planet scheduled to collide with Earth in three weeks would be the brightest object in the sky behind the sun and moon by now.)
"There is no true issue here," David Morrison, an astrobiologist at NASA Ames Research Center, said during a NASA Google+ Hangout event. "This is just a manufactured fantasy."
.......

Other rumors — that the Earth's magnetic field will suddenly reverse or that the planet will travel almost 30,000 light-years and fall into the black hole at the center of the Milky Way galaxy — were also dismissed. (A light-year is the distance light travels in one year, or about 6 trillion miles, or 10 trillion km.)
.......
Ultimately, concerns about Earth's fate would be better focused on slow-acting problems such as climate change rather than some sort of cosmic catastrophe, said Andrew Fraknoi, an astronomer at Foothill College in California.
Mitzi Adams, a heliophysicist at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center, agreed.
"The greatest threat to Earth in 2012, at the end of this year and in the future, is just from the human race itself," Adams said.

I for one would be happy if the doomsday comes true. End of scams, religious fanaticism, big-brotherism, undemocratic democracy, irresponsibilism, indifferenceism and all negativism.

Greetings.

I am a bit disappointed. But, still don't know.. it just takes a couple of prominent valcanoes go off at the ring of fire.

I have a question for the whole forum... yes, the whole forum!... This talk was going on for few years... If the world as we know cease to exist in December 2012, are you ready for it? ( Wow! usually Raghy doesnt hight light his messages!).. Have you sorted out all your problems? Have you made peace with everybody? Have you sought forgiveness from the people you offended?

Are you ready to die? I am ready to die. I read about Nibiru in 2008. I checked and counter checked... it is inevitable, we would go back in the ice age. The world as we see today will change, Nibiru or no Nibiru.

My point is, we should get ready for it. We should get ready to go without regret. I know, I am ready. Are you?

I sincerely believe we are heading to freezing temperatures.

Cheers!

Truly speaking, "not yet ready" is the answer you will get from anyone if you ask 'are you ready to go' ?
I am planning to go to US from UK to US in March,(Changed the date) got the tickets for that date.
Where are you going Sir in January 2013? any plans?

We plan on future not knowing what is going to happen in the next minute.
We also know that things will happen, whether we like it or not on their own schedule.

I am not an expert in the Mayan Calendar and on what logical basis this prediction about the end of the world was selected and publicized. But, I believe that all predictions like these, including those of our Puranas talking about Pralaya etc., should not be taken literally. This universe itself appears to us as we experience it, simply because the Life-giving power causes our senses, mind and intellect to form such a picture. In reality may be there is nothing at all or what is there is very different from what we experience as reality. Its end comes to each person at the time of death, imho.

Sri. Padmanabhan, greetings.

That may not be the right answer. Yes, we plan for the near future and distant future. I am planning to go to India.. Bangalore, Thiru Ananthapuram, Chennai and few other places in February 2013. But that is beside the point.

We just don't know when we leave. Nibiru or no Nibiru, Mayan Calender or not.. in any case, we don't really know when our machine would just stop ( our machine is our body). I think, we should be prepared at all times to go.

Due to our ego and arrogance we always think we are here on this earth to fulfill some purpose. Most of the times we say either we are searching for the purpose or fulfilling such a purpose. In reality, we don't know anything. Truth is, often times we just go... although we know all the times we have to go, most of us least prepared either to go or to see someone else go!

Cheers!

Dear Sri Raghy,

Agreed, If some event is destined to happen, it will happen, whether one is ready to face it or not.
There is no use of worrying about it.

Let me quote a few sane voices about fear hereunder:

Day after day countless creatures are going to the abode of Yama, yet those that remain behind believe themselves to be immortal. What can be more wonderful than this?
- Yuthishtira in Yaksha Pashna.

Just allow life to take you wheresoever it leads you and don’t be afraid. Fear is the only thing one should be afraid of, nothing else. Move! Be courageous and daring. - Osho

A mind that has any form of fear cannot obviously have the quality of love, sympathy, tenderness. Fear is the destructive energy in man. It withers the mind, it distorts thought, it leads to all kinds of extraordinarily clever and subtle theories, absurd superstitions, dogmas, and beliefs. - Jiddu Krishnamurti.

Brahmanyan,

The primary aim of Hindu death rituals is to destroy all the impressions that are left of a dead person in natural world and to release the soul.

This type of mass extinction means ‘unnatural death’ and people who had met with an unnatural death or whose ‘pinda shareera’ was not destroyed through the usual Hindu dead rituals as no one will be doing the final rites.
Such ‘pinda shareera’ will only get destroyed after a longtime and the natural destruction will depend on the aspirations and desires of the ‘pinda shareera.’

And such people are believed to roam the graveyards and there are references in the Puranas of Lord Shiva having an army of pretas or ghosts.

So if anything really happens on 21 December 2012, many of us will be roaming graveyards for a long time!!!

kk4646 Sir

The whole earth becomes a grave yard then, and till another yama and Yami are created or till Adam and Eve are created by God, we are to roam the earth without any water, or food with pinda shareeram or soul!!! That might take a few yugas then..
