Question (Q): Are there any threats to the Earth in 2012? Many Internet websites say the world will end in December 2012.
Answer (A):The world will not end in 2012. Our planet has been getting along just fine for more than 4 billion years, and credible scientists worldwide know of no threat associated with 2012.
Q: What is the origin of the prediction that the world will end in 2012?
A: The story started with claims that Nibiru, a supposed planet discovered by the Sumerians, is headed toward Earth. This catastrophe was initially predicted for May 2003, but when nothing happened the doomsday date was moved forward to December 2012 and linked to the end of one of the cycles in the ancient Mayan calendar at the winter solstice in 2012 -- hence the predicted doomsday date of December 21, 2012.
Q: Does the Mayan calendar end in December 2012?
A: Just as the calendar you have on your kitchen wall does not cease to exist after December 31, the Mayan calendar does not cease to exist on December 21, 2012. This date is the end of the Mayan long-count period but then -- just as your calendar begins again on January 1 -- another long-count period begins for the Mayan calendar.
Q: Is NASA predicting a "total blackout" of Earth on Dec. 23 to Dec. 25?
A: Absolutely not. Neither NASA nor any other scientific organization is predicting such a blackout. The false reports on this issue claim that some sort of "alignment of the Universe" will cause a blackout. There is no such alignment (see next question). Some versions of this rumor cite an emergency preparedness message from NASA Administrator Charles Bolden. This is simply a message encouraging people to be prepared for emergencies, recorded as part of a wider government preparedness campaign. It never mentions a blackout.
NASA: Been around for years, and years. have high technology+equipment to see far into space , study movement of planets etc
i think they know more then sci-fi internet geeks talking a load of shit

Oh dear.
NASA May know more about Science and space than these 'internet geeks' you speak of.
But these 'internet geeks' know more than you about the basic use of English and that when you paste from a website you're supposed to post the link.
It seems like you are trying to get your post count up.

The use of English in the last paragraph changed quite dramatically.
Spelling errors, punctuation failure... your failure.

100% of people on this forum who even had a shred of doubt about the security of Earth have already had that fear pounded out of them by Jinx.
These topics are simply spam now.
Side note: Disliking my posts criticizing your use of English is rather immature.

Is that why you made a new account just to spam this section so that you wouldn't get a strike on your main account?
Jinx is actually a very cool guy who is successful in real life.
Sure he's a bit of a Sci-Fi fan, I see no problem with that.
Jinx uses his spare time to come on here and educate people in a nice and humble way.
Time he could be using to study for his PhD.
You are incredibly ignorant and I wish to have no further part in your nonsensical masquerade of idiocy.
Goodbye.
