Almost everything that occurred in can't happen based on our understanding of the Earth - the plates can't wander the Earth's surface -- moving s of km overnight, neutrinos can't magically become microwaves even during solar maximums , the magnetic field can't magically change instantaneously, John Cusack can't really drive a Bentley out of the back of crashing An onto a Tibetan glacier and have everyone survive. Q: Isn't the Sun at a solar maximum right now and a solar storm will wipe out all life on Earth?
A: The Sun does go through highs and lows of activity - and the next maximum is predicted to occur in I checked would be any different has no basis. A: Sorry, first off, magnetic reversals can't just "flip" like a switch. Our understanding of the Earth's magnetic field involves the motion of the liquid outer core, so changes in the magnetic field are likely gradual, taking thousands of years to occur.
Also, there are likely no disasters that occur during the process of a magnetic field reversal. Over the last few million years , the magnetic field has reversed numerous times and no global cataclysm came each time. A: Ok, so that is true. Oh wait, no, it's not.
Sorry folks, I can't even get into science on this one because it has no legs on which to stand. Yes," Saturno said. You bet. The biggest period endings they experience are Bak'tun endings. Instead, for the Maya, the end of the long count represents the end of an old cycle and the beginning of a new one, according to Emiliano Gallaga Murrieta, the Chiapas state division director of Mexico's National Institute of Anthropology and History.
Written references to the end of Bak'tun 13 are few. In fact, most Maya scholars cite only one: a stone tablet on Monument 6 at the Tortuguero archaeological site in Mexico's Tabasco state. Take a Maya quiz. What exactly the tablet says, though, is a mystery, because the glyphs in question are partially damaged. Nevertheless, scholars have taken several stabs at translations, the most prominent in by Brown University's Stephen Houston and the University of Texas at Austin's David Stuart.
Houston and Stuart's initial interpretation indicated that a god will descend at the end of Bak'tun What would happen next is uncertain, although the scholars suggested this might have been a prophecy of some sort. This analysis was picked up "on many New Age websites, associated forum discussions, and even a few book chapters" as evidence that the Maya calendar had predicted the end of the world, according to Stuart.
Houston and Stuart, however, independently revisited the glyphs recently and concluded that the inscription may actually contain no prophetic statements about at all. Rather, the mention of the end of Bak'tun 13 is likely a forward-looking statement that refers back to the main subject of the inscription, which is the dedication of Monument 6.
In an October blog post about his conclusions , Stuart makes an analogy to a scribe wanting to immortalize the New York Yankees' sweep of the Philadelphia Phillies in that year's World Series. If this writer were to use the Maya rhetorical device thought to be in Monument 6's inscription, the text might read:. It happened 29 years after the first Yankees victory in the World Series in And so 50 years before the year will occur, the Yankees won the World Series. When the Rapture did not occur, Camping re-evaluated his predictions saying that the event would take place simultaneously with the end of the world.
See how much time has passed since Camping's apocalypse. The experiments have caused some to believe that the energies set free by the collisions will form a black hole powerful enough to consume Earth and all life on it. No such black hole has been sighted yet, and several high-profile studies have concluded that there are no such dangers associated with the experiments conducted at the LHC.
Towards the end of the second millennium, people around the world feared that the world would end simultaneously with the beginning of the year , or Y2K. This prediction was based on the practice followed by computer programmers of abbreviating year numbers with two digits when developing software. However, at midnight on January 1, , the world celebrated the new year, and no planes dropped out of the sky.
Did the third millennium begin in or ? See how much time has passed since Y2K. Since the beginning of recorded time, people have been thinking about the end of the world. Islam is the second largest religion in the world after Christianity, with about 1. Although its roots go back further, scholars typically date the creation of Islam to the 7th century, making it the youngest of the major world religions. Today, with about million followers, Hinduism is the third-largest religion behind Christianity and Islam.
With about million followers, scholars consider Buddhism one of the major world religions. Its practice has historically been most prominent in East and Southeast Wicca is a modern-day, nature-based pagan religion. Though rituals and practices vary among people who identify as Wiccan, most observations include the festival celebrations of solstices and equinoxes, the honoring of a male god and a female goddess, and the incorporation of Followers of Judaism believe in one God who revealed himself through ancient prophets.
The history of Judaism is essential to understanding the Jewish faith, which has a rich heritage of law, Zoroastrianism is an ancient Persian religion that may have originated as early as 4, years ago.
Zoroastrianism was the state religion of three Persian dynasties, until the
