| highwaystar101 said: Since when have 1000 to 1 been "probable". It's highly unlikely. And the Earth will not end in 2012, the only evidence for it is the calendar system from a society that existed thousands of years ago, who worked it out to extend to a practical date. My computer's calendar ends at 2100, does that mean the Earth will end then? |
Yes its highly unlikely but its still very probable compared to 99.99% of the Asteroids. And the uncertainty factor just adds to the worries.
But the humanity has so much time to stop the Asteroid if its really a threat. In 150 years we probably will send first satellites to neighbor stars and are already a Type 1 civilization on the kardashev scale when our economy grows just 2% per year. (And its way higher then that). Every country will have a bigger economy and consume more energy then the world today, so that Asteroids will be an almost non existing problem because humans will have technologies and the money to protect earth from anything except a near Super Nova.
To the Maya hoax:
The Maya never said that something will happen when their calendar ends. Ofcourse every culture will say something about the end of times but there is no connection to the year 2012. And btw the Maya calendar just starts from the beginnig like every normal calendar too. Its like the 31 December nothing else only difference is that its the long count which goes over a much longer time period then our calendar.
The 2012 panic is build up on misinformation completly illogical and wrong assumptions and lies. There are many people which earn their money with such crap they sell books give courses and have websites. Such people have their daily bread with world is doomed scenarios and they make every decade something new and some people believe everything what is not from the mainstream media.
I am amazed that people always think that the humans which lived 1000s of years ago were smarter then our civilization. Even though the humans have learned in the last 100 years Billions of times more things then in the 5 Million years before.Yes mayans were clever astronomers but they knew nothing about the universe compared to humans today.
