2012 End of the World

This is the first in a series on 2012 end of the world scenarios.  This post will list a breakdown and brief description of the major plausible scenarios and I’ll follow up with a more detailed explanation for each scenario on its own in later posts.  First let me state “end of the world” does not mean the end of the Earth but more appropriately the “end of the world as we know it”.

The scenarios for a 2012 doomsday event can categorically be broken down between supernatural disasters and manmade disasters.

Supernatural 2012 World End Apocalypse Scenarios

Meteorite / Comet Impact Event - This is pretty self-explanatory.  An external object (most likely a meteorite or comet, but other possibilities exist) impacts Earth with such force as to dramatically change the climate.  This includes changing the sea levels and the atomspheric pollution that would naturally occur from such an impact.

2012 Galactic Alignment - This stems from the Mayan calendar cycle the ends on 21 21 2012 and could include a reversal of the Earth’s magnetic poles amoung mulitple other scenarios.  People who know the least about the Maya and the Mayan Calendar seem to be the most vocal proclaiming opposition to this.  The Maya were incredibly accurate astronomers and many of the concepts found in the Mayan calendar can also be traced to other major civilizations including the Egyptians, Tibetan and Nepalese societies, Native American Hopi Indians, the founders of Angor Wat in southeast Asia, the Nasca of Peru (creators of the Nasca lines), and also most likely the builders of Stonehenge and Easter Island.

Hypercane - a hypercane is like a hurricane on steriods.  The scenario would most likely be played out in addition to another scenario, such as an impact event.

Supervolcano - A super volcano eruption, such as the supervocano lying under Yellowstone national park, could have catastrophic results due to the amount and reach of atmospheric pollution which would follow.

Gamma Ray Burst / Cosmic Radiation - Gamma ray bursts are generally associated with Black Holes but an offshoot of this concerns the Sun’s emmisions of solar flares.  Cosmic radiation deals with the Earth passing through an area of space containing an intense radaition field.

Pandemic - A pandemic is an epdemic (disease / pestilence) on such a scale as to infect a major portion of a population, in this case most of the world’s population.  This can be a supernatural event (such as introduced by a meteorite) or a manmade event.

2012 Aliens - As we learn more about the universe within which we live we also learn the possibility (and probability) of interacting with extraterrestrials grows increasingly likely.  Included here is the return of Planet X / Nibiru.

Manmade End of World 2012 Doomsday Events

Nuclear, Chemical or Biological War - ’nuff said on that one.

Economic Collapse - more on this one to follow but I’ll include here the depletion of natural resources such as oil and / or water contamination.

Technological Innovation that brings forth our own destruction (i.e. cybernetic revolt).

Global Warming - we’ve all heard about it.

Strangelet Accident - any one of a number of manmade accidents such as an incident involving particle collision at the Large Hadron Collider.

I’ll end this post on a positive note.  There is one 2012 end of the world scenario that can be viewed in a positive light and that concerns the spiritual evolution of mankind.  Spiritual evolution is one of the scenarios proposed by followers of the Mayan Calendar and many others as well.  The basic theory is that every now and again the natural consicouness level within us grows.  The Maya in particular propose the idea that mankind will soon lose two base forms (or “levels” for lack of a better word - things like fear) and gain two higher forms.  This could bring forth a good ending to the world as we know it.

    Hi,
    BISMILLAHIR-RAHAMANIR-RAHIM.

    Don’t scare nothing to happen on 2012. It will the same day as it is today. Mayan calendar, Specialists and reasearchers are blind liers or they just lots their mind. Stay calm and do prayer daily it will definetely take you away from thinking all this rubbish,

    Holy Quran says “A day for end of the world is decided but there are many changes happen in world which will guide you that world is going to the end”
    and the same changes is happening now but it takes time and will not happen this much early as on 2012.

    Faith is all peace of heart and let you calm.

    1. Middle east - unrest!
    2. China - becoming very stron in army and will be more agressive
    3. [...]
    4. Politicians in this world - Highly corrupt community and likely destroy the economy sooner or later.
    5. Chemical and Biological warheads - continuesly increasing
    6. Agricultural pest resistance - increasing and causing lowring down the food production
    7. Racial thinking - increasing
    8. Encroachments - increasng in every area
    Waht else you need to destroy this beauitful world! Synergy of all these ill forces will help to do that, no doubt!

    Basically, the end of the world as we know it doesn’t necessarily mean the end of civilization period. It could mean, like he said, an atmosphoric shift, it could mean that we as humans are going to, again, as he said, reach a new level of consciousness and awareness, it doesn’t have to be a negative thing. I just wish that people would stop freaking out so much, because if it is the end of civilization, there is nothing anyone can do to stop it, so just live your life right, and don’t take anything or anyone for granted.

    I also strongly believe that if this was it, if this was the end, then we would not have any warning about it beforehand. If we know whats coming, then we know about it for a reason, so that we can try to change the outcome. Absolutely nothing is certain until your dead, and even then I am sure God negotiates. ….. points to anyone who can tell me what movie that line is from…. because I can’t remember! :)

    It’s an interesting theory, but why are people so scared of consecutive numbers? 12-12-2012… ahhhhhhhh! Three numbers in a row! The movie 2012 is surely the reason why everyone is googling the Mayan calendar, whereas before most people didn’t even care to know the Mayans had a calendar. This speculation is nothing more than hype to promote the movie. The truth is… the apocalypse will happen when it happens - it will be an unpredicatable event as is almost every other catastrophe in the past.

    The “fire” that is spoken of will be in the form of solar flares (largest yet seen by mankind). Many will perish, but this will NOT be the end of mankind. We will continue to struggle amongst ourselves over trivial matters. Meanwhile a higher conciousness will begin to take hold. Our minds will be deemed as more useful than ever before. This will be our key to long term survival!

    i am mayan…and aztec…but me personally i dont think none of this is going to happen. i am a christian but not a hard core one, but i dont beileve that god wold let the world end in his own elements:water, fire, earth, or air(the air that we breath as well). also hasnt there have been other predictions about the “WORLDS END” like about 2008, and that never happened.and about mankind distruction, i think even the most crazy-evil-people-who-want-to-take-over-the-world have commen sence that if they make a nuclear bomb or whatnot, that it would destroy them as well. and besides i graduate in 2013, and i dont want the world to end without getting my deploma!:) but agin i truly belive that the world would be safe, there might be change, but not the end.

    the fact of the matter is as follows.
    we are small and insigificant as the universe goes, a comet could hit us at any time at any part of the world, a comet just 500 yards wide like the one that hit us a 1000 years ago in arizona is big enough to wipe out life on earth as we know it. scientists know there are roughly 70′000 asteriods and comets orbiting the milky way and we only know where 30% of these are and the terjectory thay are on.

    if it does happen there aint no point prayin because theres nothing we can do. and yes we are small and insignifigant so the chances of an asteroid or something hitting us is highly unlikely.
    anyways instead of sitting and crying about it maybe we should realize how amazing it is that the mayans invented a calender like that.
    also,
    the fact that it ends in 2012 is probs just a coincidence.the mayans probably figured there ways of life wouldnt last that long or just grew tired of writing, i know i would!!!!!!!!

    Well everyone can think what they may, but those who are vibrating to a lower frequency by lying, cheating and stealing, drugs and other addictions will not survive. It is a time for a shift in consciousness. Entering into the Aquarian age which is about love, compassion, selfless service. The Mayans were scholars of the sky, this is not some made up myth to promote a movie folks.
    We’re all made of energy, each of us vibrating to a a different frequency depending on our thoughts and actions, Love and Light are the highest frequencies. You honestly think the world will continue on as corrupt as it is with what is going on between hate, war and dirty politics? We’re destined for a shift, if you are not ready, you simply will be in a bad position, wrong place at wrong time. It’s physics. i certainly don’t know what will happen, but know strongly, intuitively that something will bring us into a global shift. So are you ready to get conscious and love everyone, no matter what color, race, creed, sexual orientation? We all came from the same place. I look forward to the shift as I am tired of crime, thieves, liars, cheaters, greed. I want to know my neighbor has the best intentions for me and I will not have to lock my door, cause materialism will not be of importance. I am tired of the people in power trying to rule the world and their greedy agendas.

    I believe that the world will not be at END but at restart with new life and a fresh start, who ever survives can help remake our world. Mainly our environment will be either erupted by volcanic rock, split by major earth quakes, polluted by gasses and other chemicals, but mostly washed up by water! Water is the strongest base we have on Earth, water can destroy many of things, if your running from a huge forest fire that’s gunna burn down the city and a tsunami comes, its wipe you and the fire out. So when everything has settled after the mass destruction of our planet, water will drain from some stable land and we will have a fresh start. Honestly I think of it as a lesson learned from 2012 to have respect for others not only humans but our environment around us as well, and that we need to stop being lazy and take more responsibility for the negative causes we make, war is not the answer, and this is why I do not support the army. Sure they say we plant so many trees for every tree we cut down but…it takes so long for those other trees to grow, we take away Earths oxygen to wipe ourselves, to write letters, to make art, to create our money, to hold things in such as paper bags and boxes. Show more respect to your planet and maybe you will get respect back or better yet, the reward of keeping your life!

    One of those scenarios is going to happen in 2012 and it will be the end of the world not literally but the end of human kind because we are the ones who are destroying our planet. all i could say is im ready to die if 2012 does come for reals but ill die trying to survided because i do believe in the warnings we have gotten so far. One warning or sign is the haiti earthquake and the other earthquake in other countries.
