Just wait and see lol

No I dont believe this the Mayans didnt really predict future events.

no.

i dont believe it.

they stopped making calenders. the world will not end in 2012

its a load of **** why would the world end

TheRedhotgar wrote The Mayan calender ends on the 21st December 2012, and admittedly they did predict some future events. But their major downfall was that they didnt predict the downfall of their own civilization lol

So no, there is nothing scientific or otherwise except for the end of an ancient calender.

No planet nibiru going to come into close contact or collide with the earth!!

8)

Agreed just like allthe rant about the year 2000 lol

its fake NASA proved wrong and that moon that was gonna kill us all happened a week ago so its fake the moon was supposed to happen in 2years

I don't believe...

If i'm correct the thought that something like this would happen a couple of years ago, but what happened?

Nothing.

We Will Go To 5Billion Years..

My Teachers A Nerd In Science..

The Sun Will Die Out Then The Blsck Hole Bla Well Something Like that Shh

yeah, its definetly a hoax, but oh well, sucks if its true

Researchers say a storm is coming--the most intense solar maximum in fifty years.
It's official: Solar minimum has arrived. Sunspots have all but vanished. Solar flares are nonexistent. The sun is utterly quiet.

Like the quiet before a storm.

Recently researchers announced that a storm is coming--the most intense solar maximum in fifty years. The prediction comes from a team led by Mausumi Dikpati of the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR). "The next sunspot cycle will be 30% to 50% stronger than the previous one," she says. If correct, the years ahead could produce a burst of solar activity second only to the historic Solar Max of 1958.


That was a solar maximum. The Space Age was just beginning: Sputnik was launched in Oct. 1957 and Explorer 1 (the first US satellite) in Jan. 1958. In 1958 you couldn't tell that a solar storm was underway by looking at the bars on your cell phone; cell phones didn't exist. Even so, people knew something big was happening when Northern Lights were sighted three times in Mexico. A similar maximum now would be noticed by its effect on cell phones, GPS, weather satellites and many other modern technologies.

Dikpati's prediction is unprecedented. In nearly-two centuries since the 11-year sunspot cycle was discovered, scientists have struggled to predict the size of future maxima--and failed. Solar maxima can be intense, as in 1958, or barely detectable, as in 1805, obeying no obvious pattern.

The key to the mystery, Dikpati realized years ago, is a conveyor belt on the sun.

We have something similar here on Earth--the Great Ocean Conveyor Belt, popularized in the sci-fi movie The Day After Tomorrow. It is a network of currents that carry water and heat from ocean to ocean--see the diagram below. In the movie, the Conveyor Belt stopped and threw the world's weather into chaos.

The sun's conveyor belt is a current, not of water, but of electrically-conducting gas. It flows in a loop from the sun's equator to the poles and back again. Just as the Great Ocean Conveyor Belt controls weather on Earth, this solar conveyor belt controls weather on the sun. Specifically, it controls the sunspot cycle.

Solar physicist David Hathaway of the National Space Science and Technology Center (NSSTC) explains: "First, remember what sunspots are--tangled knots of magnetism generated by the sun's inner dynamo. A typical sunspot exists for just a few weeks. Then it decays, leaving behind a 'corpse' of weak magnetic fields."

Enter the conveyor belt.


"The top of the conveyor belt skims the surface of the sun, sweeping up the magnetic fields of old, dead sunspots. The 'corpses' are dragged down at the poles to a depth of 200,000 km where the sun's magnetic dynamo can amplify them. Once the corpses (magnetic knots) are reincarnated (amplified), they become buoyant and float back to the surface." Presto--new sunspots!

All this happens with massive slowness. "It takes about 40 years for the belt to complete one loop," says Hathaway. The speed varies "anywhere from a 50-year pace (slow) to a 30-year pace (fast)."

When the belt is turning "fast," it means that lots of magnetic fields are being swept up, and that a future sunspot cycle is going to be intense. This is a basis for forecasting: "The belt was turning fast in 1986-1996," says Hathaway. "Old magnetic fields swept up then should re-appear as big sunspots in 2010-2011."

Like most experts in the field, Hathaway has confidence in the conveyor belt model and agrees with Dikpati that the next solar maximum should be a doozy. But he disagrees with one point. Dikpati's forecast puts Solar Max at 2012. Hathaway believes it will arrive sooner, in 2010 or 2011.

"History shows that big sunspot cycles 'ramp up' faster than small ones," he says. "I expect to see the first sunspots of the next cycle appear in late 2006 or 2007--and Solar Max to be underway by 2010 or 2011."

Who's right? Time will tell. Either way, a storm is coming.

There Will be something happening. in 2011/2012 we do not know how severe it will be.

I Recently Read An article About how Researchers Concluded the Solar Maximum Wouldent be as strong as the originally predicted.


The Worst Case Scenario Would be that the power grids could be knocked out and satelites Could be severly damaged. but if the maximum is strong enough it could revers the earth's pullarity causing the yellow stone national park super volcano the erupt with the power of 10 atomic bombs.This could cover United States with ash and block sunlight for months, seriously affecting the growth of all plant life, and thus disrupting the food chain.

but with the recent discovery I Belive Satelite's will be the only major thing disrupted. and maybe Some Technology on earth could be disrupted.
