ok so this shit all started because the mayans calander ends at 2012.

no for some ridiculous reason and being spoon fed from the media most everyone believes that doomsday will come in 2012

well your keep in mind, despite the mayans advanced calendars they did not account for the extra 1/4 rotation aka leap year.

do the math and you will see that 2012 has already came and went.

please.

pretty please, shut the fuck up.


forget what anyone tells you, w.e your mother tells you, what ever the fuck you heard at school, on tv or read online. the true 2012 date has came and went, the one the very same date that the dooms day prediction was derived from.

No wait a minute, I have a startling piece of information. My wall calendar ends this December. I think this means there'll be some kind of apocalyptic event on or near December 31st, 2010

"Leap years only apply in the Gregorian calender where the actual year is longer than that portrayed on the calender, about 1/4 of a day in fact. so every 4 years, we add another day on our calender to make up the difference.

The Mayan calender, presumably, is accurate in measuring the correct length of a year, so it has no need for leap years...."

im starting a hot-air balloon service. we will meet and take off on 12/20, being virtually immune to any catastrophe that will happen on the ground. they might laugh at us now, but we'll have the last laugh when everyones dead.

pm me if you want in

.. however you look at it, there is 365 and 1/4 rotations of the earth per year, or days.

just because you use a different calendar dont mean you can skip the 1/4 rotation, the mayans could not detect that slight 1/4 turn.

the mayan calendar was WAY ahead of its time, but still failed to compensate for the extra 1/4 day each year making it inaccurate, hence why we use gregorian.

obviously the earth's revolutionary period has slowed since the days of the Mayans giving us that extra 1/4 day per year due to tidal forces between the Sun and the Earth.

indeed

lol?

that still means that our current 2012 and theres are not aligned.
that was the point i was stressing.

the only way it could be aligned is if the earth rotated at the same speed from the mayans time and up to 2012.

whether or not you are correct, my points still valid.

meaning that since the earth has slowed adding up all that additional time lost since their time makes the apocalypse come in somewhere around 2012 our time.
