Going back to the OP. The Mayans do not predict the end of life on this planet for 12/21/2012. They say it will be a time of great deluge. Which could mean just about anything but they went a little further and said the civilization would be in a flood of water from the heavens.
Another weird fact is the Mayans seem to be getting all the press on this but 16 of the worlds greatest predictors (religions and soothsayers) have picked that date as a time of something catastrophic happening.
As to the alignment of our solar system with the eye of the universe, its apex will be on that date but it will be in process for over a year. We do not spin or rotate, depending on what theory you believe, fast enough to do it in one minute. It is also the time our earth's wobble on it's axis shifts in the other direction which will disrupt communications and set GPS into false readings. Past that, no one has any idea what is going to happen when the wobble change occurs, the biggest concern my field is working on is will it affect the oceanic drift? if it does your F***ed!

Please explain to those of us not familiar. Give us the scenarios and what they could mean.
No way the world ends in 2012. Now humans, on the other hand... I am just saying, saying the world will end because people may not be around much longer is like saying the refrigerator has ceased to exist all because the milk finally expired.
think this is supposed to be the center of the milky way, not the entire universe.
Whoever mentioned that the Mayans could predict the end of the world but couldn't see the Spanish coming hit the nail on the head. They would have also mentioned A-rod was on the juice...guess they whiffed on that one
I know you have a solid job and make more money than I have likely ever seen, but you gotta back this up. The wobble of the axis of the Earth is a slow process that has never stopped. It is so slight that it isn't perceptible in several human lifetimes. It isn't going to suddenly shift. Now the Earth's magnetic polarity, on the other hand...
EDIT: And where are you getting this universal (probably mean galactic) alignment thing? That's just silly. Unless you mean within the solar system. Then it is only mildly silly.
Sorry if I made it sound like it was just going to slam into the new position. But what you're talking about is a big part of the debate that is going on. Does it happen over several thousand years or at a much faster rate? It also is something that has happened before and we can get into magnetics, which is the area I believe is going to be affected the most in the coming years if not already.
I did make a mistake using universe instead of Galaxy but we will be staring down the center of it soon, that much has been proven and it happens something like every 76,000 years (not sure on the time rate). The planetary alignment is not getting much notice except among crazy people because it isn't that rare of an occurrence.
And I dont make much money.
