Why 2012 Is Not The End of The World
I’ve heard countless speculations about December 21, 2012 being the doomsday or the end of the world. It’s just sad. I remember my grade school days when our science teacher told us that if the sun dies, the earth also dies and so are we. It’s very upsetting. I mean, I grow up knowing earth as it is. And growing up I kind of feel and thought that our dear planet will be here forever not until I gained knowledge about things around me. And well, that’s science. Although, it’s a really great effort for our scientists to go beyond our system even our galaxy to search for an earth-like planet and save humanity, somehow, it’s really really sad to know that time will come and earth will eventually cease.
I have keep in touch with this piognant feeling last Sunday when I happen to watched a documentary in History channel about 2012. They showed destructive calamities, lives lost, and other unsightly scenes. Below is the first part of that documentary.
A few hours ago, someone tweets about how 2012 is not the end of the world. I followed the link and it has taken me to NASA’s FAQ’s page where they try to answer some of the questions.
According to them, NASA, the 2012 scare will be just like the Y2K scare during the dawn of the millennium. Remember the millennium bug? It came and went without much of a whimper because of adequate planning and analysis of the situation.
When asked about the threats to the earth in 2012, NASA responded that nothing bad will happen. Our planet has been getting along just fine for more than 4 billion years.
I also learned that the origin of the prediction was that of the story started with claims that Nibiru, a supposed planet discovered by the Sumerians, is headed toward Earth. It was initially predicted for May 2003, but when nothing happened the date was moved forward to December 2012.
As for me, let us not wait for doomsday to happen. Let us start saving our planet now. ^_^
