Will 2012 be The End of The World?

            December 21st, 2012. This is the date that has us, human beings on earth, quivering and wondering, is the world really going to end? From what I have heard, there have been rumors going around that the Mayan calendar ends on December 21st, 2012 and therefore, the world ends. When I heard that it made me laugh at how superstitious people get. It wasn’t until a few days later that I started doing some research on the subject. What I found out is that around that time there will be devastating events that may or may not take place.

            An event that made me feel uneasy was that on the same day, astronomers believe that our solar system is going to cross with the Galactic Equator, , which only happens every 26,000 years. What scientists’ believe is that closer we get to the Galactic Equator, the more earthquakes we will have because the closer Earth is to the Galactic Equator the more mass until eventually they meet up which causes maximum mass, in other words, maximum gravity.

            There is also talk about Planet X. They say that it orbits our sun every 3600 years and it should be passing Jupiter’s orbit by the end of 2012. This could ignite the big ball of gas and Jupiter could become a mini-sun. If this does happen it will disrupt our solar system and most likely cause severe changes in weather patterns.

            There are many more things to happen around December 21st 2012 but, I have decided to keep this article short and sweet. As for the end of the world, it is a possibility it may happen but us humans are advanced creatures that would be able to overcome this dilemma if it was true. And as for me, I will live my life to the fullest because who knows if tomorrow will be your last day.
