Edited by: Hah on 11/11/2009 04:32:31 Any believers? I actually kinda strongly believe its going to happen. I dont entirely go along with its going to cause the earths crust to shift all wtfpwn like but I've had 2 physics professors and a chemistry prof in college who all believe it to be fairly likely to happen.
But if it does cause any instability to the earths volcanic activity... it could trigger yellow stone national park...
So... Overdue magnetic polar shift? check. Overdue Yellowstone Caldera Chain? Check.
The US is as least screwed :P
Edit: Btw http://science.nasa.gov/headlines/y2001/ast15feb_1.htm Nasa knows the earths poles are overdue to shift. Thats about the suns poles shifting that they expect in 2012, which isnt a big deal really.

Are all those things listed in the op going to happen? If we can believe the scientists then yes they will happen again over and over as time passes by. Will it happen in 2012? Who the **** knows past God, SoonÖ or 'when its ready' and even the scientists will agree on that.

Edited by: Hah on 11/11/2009 04:44:49 Is it not true, that it is overdue? I didn't say it would happen in 2012, just said its overdue. Its actually due/expected to happen anytime between now and 2020. And thats not conspiracy talk, thats actual nasa and known science. I seen some video that talked about how it will cause the crust of the earth to F* up due to the magnetic change and the constantly revolving magma, but I don't really believe that.
Edit: not to post above me, was to post above the one above.

According to your article the Magnetic pole shifts every 5000 to 50,000,000 years. How can we be overdue with the last one occurring 740,000 years ago, once we get to 50,740,000 years then we can start claiming its overdue. All a magnetic pole change will do is change the alignment of magnetic materials in cooling rocks. It is not going to cause the crust to shift all over the place.
I'm not even gonna touch the Yellowstone Caldera.

Actually the earths magnetic alignment going out of whack could kill us all from radiation exposure especially from solar flares and there is growing evidence that this has already caused lesser mass extinctions in the remote past. This happens because they think when the poles switch there is a considerable period when there is no cohesive global field and its just a bunch of magnetic loops starting and ending at random spots on the earth. This is bad because earths magnetic field is a huge em shield that blocks out that vast majority of fatal radiation that would cook off everything organic in a matter of months or years of constant daily exposure unless you lived the entire time in a cave.
As far as messing with the crust well I would imagine that all the magnetic rocks of the world suddenly not lining up with a global magnetic field might cause a bit of shifting here and there especially in areas where there is already high sesmic activity. And the yellowstone caldera is priming for a blast if the current evidence is any indication. Over the last few decades it has been steadily increasing in the rate of rise over the magma chamber and is up to about 1 to 3 inches a year and getting faster. Again will it blow on 2012? Who knows but blow it will be it tommorow or in ten thousand years. But tbh all that matters not because if something as cataclysmic as a super volcano erupting or the poles shifting really happens you are going to die unless you happen to be in the know for some sort of high level government survival program for the lucky few.

"graspable"? the weather is far less uniform than the earths magnetic poles.

u guys think meteors will rain and destroy most of life this new years?
any believers? I actually kinda strongly believe its going to happen. I don't entirely go along with its going to cause the end of toasted cheese sandwiches all wtfpwn like but I've had 2 people with college degrees and my personal physician all who believe it to be fairly likely to happen.
But if it does cause any instability to the earths toasted cheese sandwiches... it could trigger Six Flags Amusement park...
So... Meteors that end my favorite sandwich? check. Overdue trip to Six Flags? Check. Clevland is as least screwed :P
Edit: Btw http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Cookbook:Toasted_Cheese_Sandwich Wiki knows toasted cheese are overdue for a threat. Thats about the meteor thing happening that i expect this new years.
I mean. Something HAS TO HAPPEN. Right? RIGHT????! SOMETHING HAS TO HAPPEN!

Oh how I missed OOPE. Magnetic Poles twitching [CHECK] has happened will happen again. Yellowstone going cataclysmic [CHECK] has happened will happen again.
Chances of it being 2012. 'just' too satisfy the nuts not very likely, and if it just so happens to fall on that year. Does not automagically mean they were right all along.
Here is a little experiment. I doubt anyone will remember this but i'm gonna bookmark it.

Quote: Misinterpretation of the Mesoamerican Long Count calendar is the basis for a New Age belief that a cataclysm will take place on December 21, 2012. December 20, 2012 is simply the last day of the 13th b'ak'tun, which began September 18, 1618 (1,728,000 days from the beginning of the calendar).
Sandra Noble, executive director of the Mesoamerican research organization FAMSI, notes that "for the ancient Maya, it was a huge celebration to make it to the end of a whole cycle". However, she considers the portrayal of December 2012 as a doomsday or cosmic-shift event to be "a complete fabrication and a chance for a lot of people to cash in."
2012 is superstition, all because of what some hack archeologist said 50+ years ago.
2012 to the mayans is what 2000 was to christians. Utterly insignificant other than that a certain number of years has been reached.

Destroying the Earth is harder than you may have been led to believe.
You've seen the action movies where the bad guy threatens to destroy the Earth. You've heard people on the news claiming that the next nuclear war or cutting down rainforests or persisting in releasing hideous quantities of pollution into the atmosphere threatens to end the world.
Fools.
The Earth is built to last. It is a 4,550,000,000-year-old, 5,973,600,000,000,000,000,000-tonne ball of iron. It has taken more devastating asteroid hits in its lifetime than you've had hot dinners, and lo, it still orbits merrily. So my first piece of advice to you, dear would-be Earth-destroyer, is: do NOT think this will be easy. ---------- There is always a choice. The choice might not be easy, nor simple, nor the options be what you desire - but, nevertheless, the choice is there to be made. |

Well, there's still the logistics of it.
Sure you could force most people into the giant blending and storage device, but then you have to convince/trick those who helped you to jump in too. Then you would have to jump in yourself, leaving you no chance to savor the sense of achievement you would get from completing such a difficult feat.
I guess it's feasible with a programmable army of robots, but unfortunately technology just isn't good enough... yet.
I consulted Cleverbot about this...
Quote: Is it possible to liquidate the entire human race, and fit them into a 27 cubic kilometer container?
It is possible. Bands play music. Some humans like all music.
So bait them into the blender with sweet melodies? like the Sirens of old?
Sugary sweet.
What music would you suggest?
Becoming the bull by atreyu or remember the name by fort minor.
Thankyou, Cleverbot.

I'm going to make a prediction and say that nothing is going to happen in 2012. Absolutely nothing, just like Y2K.
Will the magnetic pole flip? Yes and it's already in the process of doing so. There are magnetic dead zones and hot spots all over the world. It will happen, it's just a matter of when.
And yes, the Yellowstone super volcano is overdue to erupt. When it does it will be a cataclysmic event that will be felt all over the world. It is an impending event that's not an if but a when.
A lot of looming stuff sure, but I still bet nothing will happen on 2012. ___________________________________

If they want to get spun up over something, fine... but please keep it off/out of my TV, Movie theaters, and new media.
Y2K ring any bells for people, nothing happened then, nothing will happen now. If IÆm wrong then were all dead anyway so it does not matter.

Edited by: Gaborelle on 13/11/2009 16:59:47 the earth's magnetic field is indeed in the process of fliping polarity... this is a slow process however and usually takes several thousand years to complete. it occurs roughly every 150,000 - 250,000 years.
its estimated to next complete its flip cycle in roughly 5,000 years so we are gonna be ok for now.
when it is at its peak of the change cycle the compass will be useless and humans will see aurora borileas everywhere in the night sky. solar radiation will be a big problem to as the protection normally given by the magnetosphere will not be strong enough.

This happens because they think when the poles switch there is a considerable period when there is no cohesive global field and its just a bunch of magnetic loops starting and ending at random spots on the earth. This is bad because earths magnetic field is a huge em shield that blocks out that vast majority of fatal radiation that would cook off everything organic in a matter of months or years of constant daily exposure unless you lived the entire time in a cave.
As far as messing with the crust well I would imagine that all the magnetic rocks of the world suddenly not lining up with a global magnetic field might cause a bit of shifting here and there especially in areas where there is already high sesmic activity. And the yellowstone caldera is priming for a blast if the current evidence is any indication. Over the last few decades it has been steadily increasing in the rate of rise over the magma chamber and is up to about 1 to 3 inches a year and getting faster. Again will it blow on 2012? Who knows but blow it will be it tommorow or in ten thousand years. But tbh all that matters not because if something as cataclysmic as a super volcano erupting or the poles shifting really happens you are going to die unless you happen to be in the know for some sort of high level government survival program for the lucky few. 
I've never heard of past magnetic shifts being linked to any significant rise in extinction. Do you have any links to reputable sites that confirm your statements?

Some links may take a subscription to view. I would recommend making them so you don't get left in the dark on theorys that have been around for decades.

Well according to the folowing documentary .. the magnetic shift seems real.

You know, even if the world *did* end in 2012.... What the hell would you do about it? Go hunker in a bunker somewhere? Give up on work and everything and panic? How stupid would you look if 2013 comes and nothing happened, and you gave up everything because you thought something would happen?
What is the frickin point of believing either way? Just go about your daily business, no point doing anything else.

Valid point. Id like to recomend a book called Lucifer's Hammer(Larry Liven and Jerry Pournelle) it is good reading to everyone.
The story details a cometary impact on Earth, the end of civilization, and the battle for the future. It encompasses the discovery of the comet, the LA social scene, and a cast of diverse characters whom fate seems to smile upon and allow to survive the massive cataclysm and the resulting tsunamis, plagues, famines and battles amongst scavengers and cannibals.

I believe most people want to die on their own terms. Of course that almost never happens (suicide being the exception). We all die at some point, one way or another, may as well just enjoy the ride

Isn't it funny how the people who believe the world will end in 2012 don't really? They keep going to school, work, all the same stuff... Why don't they live with a complete disregard for the future, if there really is no future?

Edited by: Glarion Garnier on 15/11/2009 15:00:38 Only the human population may end. The earth stays here so in essence world will not end.
Human existance might end due to some horrible path of events. Since we are holding back space technology and havent populated other rocks yet. There are good means to mass produce hydrogen for instance but the powers that have interest in monopoly capitalism like their parties, mansions and gold piles too much to allow it.

Not the magnetic poles shift but the collapse of Earth's existing magnetic field will cause the extinction of what we know it today as life here on Earth.
As long as the Earth's molten iron core still spins, there is nothing to worry about. And so far there isn't anything that could point to it slowing/stopping.
