Things not worry about in 2012 - NASA on Doomsday Theories

There is a lot of hype going around about the end of the world and how it is almost here. With dozens of different theories being thrown around the public, no one is exactly sure which theory to believe or not. According to the NASA website, everybody thought that the end of the world was May 2003, from a “planet heading towards Earth.” When this ended up not happening, the date was moved to December 2012. Many of the people that generally believe that the world will end then have not made any initiative to research such theories or even tried to find arguments that back up their view. It is tough to find proof that the world will end and that something unusual will happen on Dec. 21, 2012.

Most of the proof leads towards this because nothing will happen to the planet in 2012. NASA has confronted some of the popular theories and disapproved six of them.

10 Reasons why 2012 is not END of World | Doomsday Scenarios

Ray Villard takes on some of the more popular doomsday theories, debunking each in turn. In the early days of computers, when hard drives weighed as much as a piece of furniture, a popular phrase was "Garbage-in, Garbage-out" (GIGO). It meant that computers would unquestioningly process the most nonsensical of input data and produce nonsensical output.

"GIGO" describes the abysmal lack of intelligent thought and critical thinking on the Internet when it comes to all the hysteria about the end of the world coming on December 21st, 2012 -- just in time to ruin Christmas.

I'm getting e-mail about this weekly and I expect the nonsense to ratchet up. This latest installment in decades of flaky astronomical apocalypse predictions is loosely based on the Mayan calendar that marks the end of a 5,126-year era. Apparently the Mayans knew something about the heavens we don't, according to numerous hot-selling 2012 doomsday books on the market. Our multi-billion dollar telescopes, space probes, and 6,000 professional astronomers somehow just can't keep up with the mystic knowledge of an ancient superstitious culture.
