Why 2016? The Mayan calender so fast 1 cycle already?

The world will end in 2016 but not bcos of the Mayan calendar but from global economic collapse. This time round no more camouflaging the bad news and every country will have to face the music. Occupy Wall Street will develop into Occupy World when the issue of inequality will come to a head and time for reckoning finally arrives. No clever argument can resolve the problem. Because of the accumulated effects over the years, it will be very difficult for any party to change anything substantial and the world will collapse into a Dark Age.

That was a refreshing post I thought you'd wanted to say about the next election. All these rumors are really causing unwanted panics.

Just arrived in Jakarta. Actually forgot today is the end of the world, if remembered should have stayed at home. Could anyone here advise me what time is the end coming? Jakarta time please.

Ha Ha Looks like I've got to wait for the next end-of-the world. *sigh*

The world will not end. Stop buying into the hysteria of the silly masses.

Putin was right: the world will truly end when the Sun goes nova. That's 4.5 billion years from now. We will all die, unless we escape by intergalactic space travel.

21 Dec 2012 on the Gregorian calendar (forced onto us by the Catholic Church) is the end of a Mayan Long Count calendar (there are three main calendars, each for different purpose) cycle. A cycle that lasted for thousands of years.

The Gregorian calendar is quite inaccurate as the Earth orbits around the Sun in 365.25 days. The Gregorian calendar has to make up for this inaccuracy by having a leap year (366 days) every 4 years. Think about it: suppose you were to live on another planet, say Mars. Mars takes 687 days to orbit around the Sun. How are you going to use the Gregorian calendar there?

In fact, the Chinese and Islamic lunar calendars are much more useful than the Gregorian calendar, as they follow the moon cycles, and you can predict quite accurately the seasons and the tides.

Wonder anyone here has made a killing at the stock market on the end-of-the-world thing? The market seemed to be quite sane lately. Maybe next Monday, it will tell.

The Earth would have been torched dry way before that due to increased solar luminosity and increased solar mass. About 1 billion years into the future all oceans would have evaporated and planet would be incapable of supporting life. Temp would be about that of Venus today. Hopefully all our descendents run road to some distant planet by then.
