You’ve surely heard that the world is ending in 2012. Well, okay, some say it will end in 2012. Those ascribing to this possibility note several points that, they say, justify the prophecy. One is the ancient, but esteemed, Mayan calendar that abruptly halts in 2012. The ancient Mayans, renowned for their astrological astuteness, oddly enough, ended their legendary calendar on December 21, 2012.
Until recently, most anthropologists believed the Mayans simply tired of adding days. All calendars must end sometime, so why not the Mayans and why not 2012? New astrological observations, however, may prove the Mayans hadn’t tired at all...
On December 21, 2012, modern astrologists say, Earth will align with the sun and a massive black hole (number Q0906+6930) centered in our Milky Way galaxy. NASA, adding mass to the belief, says the sun’s polarity will reverse that year. Such activity could cause sun flares (one super-sized sun flare could toast the planet) and gravitational stresses on the Earth’s core which, in turn, may cause earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and the like.
Scientists believe unruly core magma tangles Earth’s magnetic fields. A massive disruption could cause a reversal in its magnetic poles. If this happens, the 0.6-oersted magnetic force field that presently surrounds the planet could reverse, as it did 780,000 years ago, changing positive to negative and causing chaos across the globe.
Today, the magnetic field affects both humans and animals. All modern navigation relies upon the magnetic north, as do bees, pigeons, salmon and whales. Polar reversal could cause navigation failures, cosmic radiation, and radio and television disruptions; compass needles could whirl south … and magnetic signs could tumble off car and truck doors.
By 2012, news agencies recently reported, commercial air traffic between the United States and China will have doubled. To help effect this, U.S. Transportation Secretary Mary Peters and Chinese Minister of Civil Aviation Yang Yuanyuan, at the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, signed an agreement approving increased flights between the United States and China. Peters said the pact would provide more and cheaper shipping options to China and therefore, “…make it easier for U.S. companies to tap into China’s enormous market.”
