The End?
Mod
So what I'm basically saying is that, I don't know what a 'normal' high school is like (like the ones in books). But I'm not complaining. Because we're creative and open to different types of people and trying to be eco-friendly. What more can you want?

True, but still I would think that knowing would be better than letting the public go on unaware. It would leave us quite unprepared

But they still could do it. There was this one video we watched in 7th grade science. It was called Supervolcano (cheesy name, yes, but it's still very good). And it's about Yellowstone, and its make in a fake-documentary style. Anyway, its in the view on these geologists that work at Yellowstone. You know how Yellostone is like a big volcano waiting to blow, so these geologists find out that Yellowstone it likely to blow and they announce it, but the government tells them that they need to basically lie and say it's not going to blow, because the highways were clogging up and fights were breaking out and stuff. They still evacuated areas close to Yellowstone, but other than that.....Sorry to get into a long winded explaination, but I just thought that I would say that to prove my point.
who is this foolish guy who says the world will end!! as it is living from trillions of years how it will become its end!!.it will continue for more crores of years.-

...unless we force the Earth to rot in our man-made ruins...
Thanks, Violet. But with this in mind, are there really limits to how the Earth dies, like "natural" or "human"?
Mod
I guess the answer would be no...I think. I guess it depends on how you define "the end of the world." And how you define the causes that create "the end of the world."
In that case, there are endless possibilities.

I agree with you Lana (Except the Asteroid...I just don't think it will end). I learned why Doomsters think that the world is going to end is because one of old Indian calender ends. I wonder how they connect the end of the calender to the end of the world.

There's also other factors like the fact that the sun lines up with the center of the Milky Way, and this future seer (that based on some people's interpretation has predicted things like WWII and 9/11) says that the end of days COULD be in 2012 (there's something about a choice or something like that...).
Either way this whole thing is based on what people believe. If you believe that because the Mayan calendar ends (and not that they maybe got tired of doing it), the sun alines with the center of the Milky Way (whatever that means....), and that this past and vague future seer says the world's going to end, it may end. But it probably won't.
When you say it that way, does that mean a possible ending for the Earth may involve a massive alteration in outer space?
Mod
I personally think everyone who actually believes that is just being stupid. The world will not end on a certain day; it will happen when the sun explodes. Which also won't happen all of a sudden.
Mod
Well, yes. But you get my point >.> And yeah, we probably will be gone by then.
How will it 'explode'? If some thing explodes, it requires energy, but the sun does not have that type of energy. The sun is wearing down and loosing energy over all these years, just like every thing else in the universe. Its just a law of nature.

I think they were so accurate in their calendars because of the fact that they were great astronomers and they were able to base everything on Moon and planet cycles.
Remember, I don't pretend to know EVERYTHING about the Mayans. I'm basically tell you all I've learned from past history classes and this special on the history channel about 2012. Sorry if I seem like I know it all. Don't mean to sound like that...
If the calendar was translated, then there is a chance that most of what we currently have may be completely or partially inaccurate.
Mod
In any case, however, both theories are pretty much forcing themselves to be allowed.

There's no proof that 2012 will be any different (from what I've found). Yes, sol..."I agree, 1012 will be like this year, last year, and next year. Like Violet said, things will be happening in the year of 1012, but that does not mean the world is coming to the end.
Kaitie♥, technology or not anything that has been made by mankind has always had some type of flaw. So in the case of the Aztec calendar, there's bound to be somthing misplaced or missing, if anything at all. I have nothing against the Aztecs or calendar they created but they are as
human
as we are.

Just curious, not calling you out or anything N.S.A, but are you against homosexuals?
I'm personally fine with it though it's not what I would choose for myself :) our school openly accepts it though there are somepeople that do not
