Well as Im sure everyone knows the prediction is were all boned on dec 21'st 2012, theres a whole lot of prophesies backing it and even some science.

So, what do you think? are we doomed or is it just another false erl of doom?

Another false claim. They said the same stuff about 2000 and we are still here.

2012=fake
It feels like Hollywood made this up to make more money. I really am not sure what 2012 is besides the world, i mean the science behind it.

only thing is there is some science behind this one, they say on that day the earth will align with the sun and the exact center of the milky way, which happens to be a black hole, and at that point we will cross over the galaxy's equator, which some scientists think may cause the earths poles to shift.

There are so many prophesies, from different sources(mayan calandaer, I ching, merlin etc) , that predict the exact same day too, which is something else that sets this appart from the rest.

Honestly ive never paid much credence to these dooms day predictions but this one actally has me a little worried.

I hate it when scientist start predicting things. Align with a black hole?

its not a prediction so much as it is a fact, on dec 21 2012 the earth will pass the galactic equator, which is the very center of the milky way, and there happens to be a black hole there weather or not that has and relevence is beyond me, but I know some scientists think that passing by this 'galactic equator' can cause the earths poles to shif which would pretty much be the end

They say this has happened before but the last time was nearly 800k years ago, so my theory is if we pass the equator every 25k years then this would happen more regularily, but the fact that it has happened means it could happen again, which is also worrysome
As is the way with scientists, some seem to agree and others disagree, no one seems to know for sure what will happen when the earth passes by the equator but it does worry me some, there is just too much poting to this exact event to be ignored

A prediction, no? They think it might happen. As my teacher thought me a long while ago, thinking is knowing shit.

well there is scientific backing to suggest that it could so its more then just a prediction, its a possibility. The event will occur, what will happen as a result however is uncertain, best we can do is keep our fingers crossed i guess.

If some black hole is going to suck up our galaxy, I am not going to lose any sleep over it. It will happen or it won't, but if it does, what can you do about it. If I could chose how to die, being sucked by a black hole would be pretty high on my list xD

let me please correct you, my worried friend;
earth will NOT go through a black hole, nor through the center of the milky way. our galaxy is a huge spiral cluster of sun like stars orbiting a super massive black hole (sagittarius a*, if i'm not mistaking), but we are thoulsends of light years away from this black hole and we orbit it. just like the earth is orbiting the sun without passing through, we wouldn't pass through duriing the next few billions of years. it is true we will align with the galaxy's axis, what might result in change in the cosmic radiation reaching earth and effect earth's weather for a while. shifting the poles? you need to make the earth's movement to change in order to do so. and even though it happened in the past, doesn't mean that scientist know what caused it.
if it happened 25k years ago and the pre-historic human life on earth survived, I guess we will survive as well...
