2012 the beginning of end?
Note: Reader’s discretion advised.
You often see people talking about end of the world, what is the future of humanity, where we will be after 50 years, can we predict about the future etc. Human is always anxious about knowing the future and have various myths and knowledge and religious literatures to predict the upcoming events, sometimes they work sometimes don’t.
Have read a lot about the judgment day or Armageddon from political, religiously, astronomically and most importantly the cosmologically. I found it very intriguing that year 2012 is considered as quite important for the humanity. Though I will discuss the religious, political and social importance of 2012 but cosmological importance remains my focal point which I will discuss in the end.
Astronomical
Maya civilization (c. 2000 BC to 250 AD), is one of the oldest civilizations and their evidence found in Central Americas, they were known for their art, architecture and mathematical and astronomical systems and interestingly their calendar called Maya Calendar ends at December 21 2012. What’s so Significant about it? Well it seems not but the fact to remember is that Mayans were very intelligent in astronomy and many scientist believe few important celestial events going to place near to the same time which have greater effect on life on earth this may be a coincidence or may be truth of Mayans knowledge. More about these celestial events here, if you are interested to know more about Maya myths this is the place.
Astrology
If you are interested in astrology, this is a place to read, many astrologists speculates that around 2012 is what earth will enter in Aquarius age, it is one of the twelve astrological age believed by some to parallel major changes in the Earth's inhabitants' development, particularly relating to culture, society and politics. More information on astrological ages here
Cosmological
You guess right, my favorite, whatever we discussed so far could be the mere hypothesis which might not realize at all, but is what following is something to look at.
We know that Sun is pivotal to the Universe and particularly for earth; Human existence of life on earth is largely because of Sun. weather on earth and for that matter our universe are mainly dependent on the activities that takes place on Sun. it emits large amount of radioactive and magnetic layers to universe and pattern of this emission is called solar cycle. Currently we are in the solar cycle 24 and Nasa predicts in 2006 that the peak of this cycle is expected to reach around 2010-11 and solar activity around that time going to be most intense of all times, so it’s called this as Super Solar Storm.
Now what does this lead us to? Change of South and North poles, compass may not work as they are. Satellite system could Jam, TV, mobile systems and never know what else.
Another threat this fierce solar activity could cause is the eruption of super volcanoes which can responsible for mass destruction.
Galactic alignment, is phenomenon which occurs when earth and sun are direct in line with centre of the galaxy, this phenomenon occurs after 25800 years, interestingly this period is almost equal to the one complete astrological age. Following video explains more about galactic alignment and polar shift.
Just to conclude, this phenomenon could be internet hoax or who know the hidden truth but then we are humans with the knowledge so why don’t explore and try to unveil the secrets of universe.
I think being a Muslim I believe that only Almighty Allah knows about the future and he is the one who can change it, but knowing more about this universe certainly makes my faith more and more firm on him and I must say “Subhan-Allah” that he is the only one who can create the systems of such precisions and I also applaud the humans about their exploration and decoding of secrets.
