2012 is fast approaching and all the time more people are beginning to believe that something big will occur. There are the doomsday thinkers who say that it will be the end of the world, and there are those that believe 2012 will be the dawn of a new age of enlightenment. The amount of theories that are floating around get added to on an almost weekly basis. Some of the most common suggestions for 2012: earth changes, solar storms, galactic alignment, arrival of ET life forms, Planet x, as well as the end of the Earth.
1. Earth Changes: It is often talked about that in 2012 the Earth will undergo massive planetary changes. The most common put forward theory is that the will be a form of polar shift. This occurs when the magnetic North Pole and magnetic South Pole completely change positions.
There is some scientific proof that has happened before, around 780, 000 years prior. If this was to occur in 2012 the geological results would be beyond comprehension. It is likely that it would bring about the eruptions of many super volcanoes, as well as massive earthquakes, and towering tsunamis.
2. Galactic Alignment: It is well known that all heavenly bodies are cyclical. Here on Earth we have the solstices twice a year and also the equinoxes that bifurcate them. These are all times that are relative to the position of our planet to the sun. Our solar system also has cycles as we transit through the universe.
There are people that believe in 2012, on the date of the Winter Solstice, our Solar System will be aligned dead centre of the galaxy in a position of equinox. It is actually known that this cycle lasts 25, 800 years. The affect this will have on our planet is impossible to understand. It is thought that the ancient Mayan long count calendar is based upon this galactic cycle.
3. Massive Solar Storms: It is common knowledge that the sun is an immensely active star. There are flares and solar activity that are regularly tracked by instruments here on Earth. Such solar flares can play havoc with electrical equipment as they create huge fields of electro magnetic energy. Data from NASA has predicted a big solar maximum event that could possibly occur in 2012. If this does happen it may knock out satellites and communication alongside the power grids.
4. Planet X: There is a theory that is now widespread that during 2012 the Earth will be in close proximity or collision with an unknown planet that has been referred to as Planet X or Niburu. It is said that this planet or brown dwarf is on an elliptical orbit that only brings it close to our planet once every six thousand years. People who believe in this theory back it up with text and tablets from the ancient Sumerian culture that thrived five thousand years ago. If this was to occur than the results are almost impossible to imagine.
5. Arrival of Extra Terrestrial life forms: This theory suggests that in 2012 we shall be visited by life forms that are not from the earth. Actual evidence for this concept is purely based on speculation. - 29958
