Is the World Ending? Paranoid vs. Proven Ideas about the Apocalypse

Is the World Ending

The theories from the Hollywood movies said that the Winter Solstice in 2012 was supposed to be the end of the world. However, the marketing approach of the event was contested by the Mexican indigene tribes, which claim that governments and companies destroyed the name of this important holiday for Aztecs. The leader of the indigenes, Alvaro Pop criticized the Hollywood interpretation of this date, which will only mark the end of a cycle in the Mayan calendar.

“It is true that, according to the Mayan calendar, there are some periods of spiritual transformation, but it is not connected with the end of the world, as it was assumed in movies. Is the world ending or is it false? This is only a marketing speculation, as many companies profited from the panic provoked by this event.

Why is it dangerous
The “Rush for Apocalypse” creates monsters in the communities where people believe that this event is close. In 2012, one young man from Mexico shot his mother and then he went to school to kill 26 other people. According to the investigators, the teenager had severe psychological problems, create by his mother, which was preparing for the end of the world. The gun used by Adam Lanza to kill 27 people was bought by her mother, which also teaches the child how to use it.

Is it possible to anticipate the end of the world?
It is true that the solar system is a dynamic one, and some major modifications are possible, modifications that might also lead to natural catastrophes, such as the ones that leaded to the disappearance of dinosaurs. 65 million years ago, when an asteroid hit the earth, it provoked major damages, dinosaurs disappeared and massive volcanic eruptions changed the surface of the Earth forever. However, the human race resisted until today, and we must have the right tools at our disposal to save ourselves in case this will happen again.
On the other hand, it is not required for an asteroid to hit the earth for the world to disappear. Climate changes and global warming might be another cause for major catastrophes in different areas of the world.

The Mayan Calendar and the confusion in 2012
Almost any person preventing the end of the world has some rumors that he or she uses as “undisputable proofs” that the end of the world will happen. In 2012, the Mayan calendar was the proof.
The Mayan calendar has 18 months, each one with 20 days and a Wayeb (a holy month of five days) begun in 3114 BC, according to the international press. An era of this calendar ended in 2012, an even that is celebrated in the entire southern part of Mexico, and in other four countries where the Mayan culture was influential. This date marks the end of a 5200 years cycle, but also the beginning of another one! It seems like the “researchers’ forgot to tell us about this beginning, insisting only on the end. The Mayan civilization is known for their discoveries in mathematics, agriculture, mapping and…cuisine!
