Random Mayan Calendar 2012 Quote

[Hoofbite]

I'm surfin some other sites and I see a thread pertaining to 2012 (the supposed end of the world) and theres a post that just made me laugh a little.

For those who haven't heard, 2012 is when the Mayan calendar ends, supposedly ending all of us or something to that effect.

Anyway, I come across this post and just had to let a out a little laugh.

I think it's Italian. 12/23/2012 is the date the Mayan Calendar ends. Basically, we're ****ed. I think there's a few possibilities - 1.) Time just stops. And then it would restart and we'd do it all over again, maybe getting to 12/24/2012 the next time. 2.) The Universe begins to stop expanding, the Big Crunch begins. 3.) The Earth explodes. 4.) Time begins to go backwards. I guess there's a few more possibilities, but those are the most likely.

Most likely? Time stopping or reversing it course, the solar system condensing on itself or the earth exploding. Those are the most likely?

I've got a better most likely.

Nothing. Absolutely nothing.



I know this is as random as they come but this post had me rolling for a minute.

I'd take the 1st two before the last.......:laugh1:

[burmafrd]

The first two are just improbable.
The last is clearly impossible.

I got a pretty good idea of what it might be but it can't be discussed on this forum.

According to the Mayan calender, 2012 is more accurately described as the 'end of the age' rather than the 'end of the world.'

Regarding the predictions:

1) Time and space are inexorably related; therefore, time would not stop unless the universe disappeared.

2) The idea of a Big Crunch has been largely denounced within the Cosmological community. Space will simply continue to expand until matter itself begins disassociating. The Big Bang was a one-shot deal.

3) Honestly, people.:D

4) Again, the author demonstrates a fundamental misunderstanding of the nature of time. One can only move backwards in time relative to someone else; therefore, if we're all moving backwards in time, no one would know the difference.;)

It would be great to go back in time but does that mean I get younger and we lose our Lombardis? :eek:

[Yeagermeister]

I wouldn't mind going back to the 92-96 time frame :D

The Big Crunch is not supposed to be an instantaneous event anyway. The universe would first have to start decelerating and then start contracting in order to move back to the Big Crunch.

What does that part mean?

[ABQCOWBOY]

I'm pretty sure the guy who came up with these theories is probably an Eagles fan.

It's a bats**t crazy person's way of saying "its all greek to me!" :D

The Big Crunch is not supposed to be an instantaneous event anyway. The universe would first have to start decelerating and then start contracting in order to move back to the Big Crunch.

This is the major problem inherent to the Big Crunch. The galaxies farthest from us are moving away from us faster than the galaxies nearest us; consequently, cosmic expansion is actually getting faster, not slower.

In fact, the galaxies on the outer edge of the universe appear to moving faster than light. This is because space itself is undergoing metric expansion - in essence, the distances in one area of space are longer relative to the distances in other areas of space. Once the metric expansion around our own galaxy exceeds light speed, we won't be able to see anything other than event horizons all around us.

No but I was at least 60lbs lighter and single :laugh2:

Maso, it's time to put aside the doubt that we discussed a couple months ago and just embrace it.;)

If it's all garbage then you may as well call me Oscar the Grouch.

Laugh all you want, but my garbage can will protect me from the asteroid more than your doubt will shield you!

Man, I guess so. I'm just glad that I know when my deadline is :D

It seem we're somewhat similar in our overall approach to understanding. We acknowledge that it's a crazy, screwed up universe out there, and that comprehending it requires every means and innate ability at our disposal: science, faith, reason, religion, logic, hope, dumb stupid luck, etc.;)

That sounds like something Matthew McConaughey's character would have said in the movie Contact. What a great book and movie.

If only I had his looks.

We attended the same university at least.

You take his looks, I'll take his money and we'll play rock, paper, scissors for his girl.
