Astronomers such as David Morrison argue that the galactic equator is an entirely arbitrary line and can never be precisely drawn, because it is impossible to determine the Milky Way's exact boundaries, which vary depending on clarity of view. Some are just hoaxes or so absurd to astronomers that they can hardly credit their ears and eyes when they learn that anyone might think such things are true. I think there is plenty that we do need to be concerned about, such as climate change, extinction of species, environomental degradation, human rights and so on.
Based on the visions of Montanus, who claimed to speak under the influence of the Spirit, Montanists believed the second coming of Christ to be imminent.For the most part, I tend to ignore unscientific claims about most things, including doomsday events. It could be that slow changes taking place over the course of many decades do not grip the imagination of paranoiacs the way sudden cataclysmic events can, never mind the respective scientific plausibility of each. S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration predicted that the solar maximum would peak in late 2013 or 2014, and that it would be fairly weak, with a below-average number of sunspots. Jenkins himself noted that even given his determined location for the line of the galactic equator, its most precise convergence with the center of the Sun already occurred in 1998, and so asserts that, rather than 2012, the galactic alignment instead focuses on a multi-year period centered in 1998.
Already this year more than 20,000 people have climbed right to the top, and last year we had 10,000 hikers, which was a significant rise on the previous 12 months. One of them was accepted for publication by Gibson's Games, a large UK games company, but they were unable to publish it because of technical difficulties.Jenkins said that precession would align the Sun precisely with the galactic equator at the 2012 winter solstice. In December 2011, NASA's Francis Reddy issued a press release debunking the possibility of a supernova occurring in 2012. The Turkish village of Şirince, near Ephesus, expected to receive over 60,000 visitors on 21 December 2012, as New Age mystics believed its "positive energy" would aid in weathering the catastrophe. I'm astonished how many people are really worried that we might have a second sun or even an entire second solar system due to hit Earth in the next week or month.
They’ve predicted the destruction of the world through floods, fires, and comets—luckily for us, none of it has come to pass. While Betelgeuse was certainly in the final stages of its life, and would die as a supernova, there was no way to predict the timing of the event to within 100,000 years.
The Tortuguero monument connects the end of the 13th bʼakʼtun with the appearance of Bʼolon Yokteʼ Kʼuh, shown here on the Vase of Seven Gods. The solar coronal brightness decreases by a factor of about 100 during a solar cycle as the Sun goes from an "active" state (left) to a less active state (right). These were quoted and expanded upon by Terence and Dennis McKenna in The Invisible Landscape (1975).
