Working On Me

When I first started hearing about the 2012 fears–predictions that the world will come to an end in 2012–I thought, ‘Interesting.’ After a friend told me about a documentary she saw detailing the fact that the ancient Mayan calendar ends in 2012, part of me thought, ‘Wow, is there something to this?’ Then the buzz got louder, and a terrifying movie trailer appeared, depicting the destruction of the world as we know it–a movie titled, of course, 2010–and I thought, ‘Oh, no.’

My concern was less that the would would, in fact, end via an astroid hitting us, or an ancient Mayan curse, or a reversal in the spin of the Earth’s rotation–all possibilities I’d heard kicked around–but that people would become so scared by these possibilities that we’d panic and create our own problems as a society. (The scary movie coming out can’t be helping things.)

That’s why I was happy to see this new article from About.com’s own John Millis, Guide to Space and Astronomy. He examines each theory and provides a scientific explanation of each, and, happily, provides reassuring information on all fronts. Whether you’ve been concerned about 2012, or have even heard of these theories, I’d recommend that you read this article so you’ll know the scoop if it ever comes up in conversation between now and the end of 2012.

Will The Earth End in 2012?
