Science behind 21st Dec, 2012

The prophecies and science behind 21st Dec, 2012

The Yellowstone volcano in USA is supposed to blow up anytime too. Said to erupt every 6,50,000 years, it threatens to fill the atmosphere with ash, cloud the sky and throw Earth into a 15,000-year-long frozen winter.

Then there is the Bible that talks of the approaching Armageddon, where the final conflict between the Christ and Antichrist will occur. The Vedas say that this would be the time of the end of Kali Yuga, which had commenced in 3102 BC. Many other cultures are said to follow this chorus, and let’s not even start on the grim picture painted by Nostradamus…

NASA has been particularly dismissive of the 2012 prophecies. "There apparently is a great deal of interest in celestial bodies, and their locations and trajectories at the end of the calendar year 2012. Now, I for one love a good book or movie as much as the next guy. But the stuff flying around through cyberspace, TV and the movies is not based on science. There is even a fake NASA news release out there..." says Yeomans, NASA Senior Research Scientist.

There are as many theories about the world ending in 2012 as there are about the same theories being products of over-imaginative and psyched minds. On Facebook, an open party – Night of Mayhem – has been announced for everyone on Earth for 1st January, 2013, just in case the floods don’t occur, the earth doesn’t rip apart, and humanity survives 2012. As of now, 42,177 people have RSVP''d as ‘Attending’. Rather than worry about events we can’t really do much about, I suggest we take all these theories with a pinch of salt and plan for a grand New Year Party for 2013!
