When will the World End? Answered

The Mayan calender says "the world is going to end" as much as December 31st does. When you replace your calender at the end of the year are you crippled in fear of the imminent destruction of earth? They just figured they'd still be here to make the Lunar and Venusian calculations for a new one.

 some people say 2112 because that is when the aztec calender ends but 2012 is when the mayan calender ends people also say the world will get sucked into a black hole when the sun dies and even more people say that it could damn well end tommorow

The world has been around for billions of years and will be for billions more.

However your life is much more fleeting and fragile.  If your life ended tomorrow what would you do today?

Depends on how you define "the world".

As Kelseymh says - its virtually guaranteed to go poof in several billion years because that's the life cycle of our sun, after which it will go supernova and engulf the earth in fiery plasma.  Yum!

There are a lot of reasons 2012 is thought to be the end...google it.

As for 'when' it will happen - if we keep letting the financial giants push government around and then claim its the governments fault when the economy fails...then it will be a lot sooner than you think, and not because of why you think.

On the day you pass. 2012 is just more of the same patent BS that the infotainment industry has used forever to control people, by undermining their confidence in the future with dire predictions and pat solutions (which always serve a tiny percentage of the population and cost the other 98% to exact). "Sky is falling...Stay tuned...we'll make it all better..." It's the first trick of the trade for big brother.

Sadly, with TV and the 60s generation management that has controlled the TV industry for the last few decades, the problem has only grown worse, since, as a generation, they are masters of manipulation, first slitting the metaphorical throats of their parents generation, then slitting the throats of the generation that followed them.

BTW, note that the ~2% that ultimately gets served by their paradigm is usually tied in one way or another to the infotainment industry.

It'll end when it ends. Stop worrying about it and live your life.

The Mayan calendar say's it's all over in 2012. Since they did the calendar in what? 56BC, I think by the time they got to up to 2012 they said "forget this crap,we'll stop here"

The world has already ended.  Our minds are not able to accept that fact and are creating our own realities that we live thru.  THe people living in insane asylums have figured that out and are trying to contact us thru our illusions. 

It'll end when I have something intelligent to say

If the world ends in 2012, I wasted my entire life in school....

Not in 2012 but eventually.  If we have bad luck, this could be our undoing:

"Current measurements suggest the Andromeda Galaxy is approaching us at 100 to 140 kilometers per second. The Milky Way may collide with it in 3 to 4 billion years, depending on the importance of unknown lateral components to the galaxies' relative motion. If they collide, individual stars within the galaxies would not collide, but instead the two galaxies will merge to form a single elliptical galaxy over the course of about a billion years"

most certainly not in 2012

Approximately 6 billion years from now, give or take.

The world ended yesterday!  Didn't you get the memo?
