Nasa Is Warning Us Of A Solar Predicted To Affect The Earth In 2012

:) great reply

As Y2K showed both scientists and programmers can be shortsighted by leaving off 2 digits in the date but that doesn't necessarily have to be catastrophic.

It does give a good motivation to upgrade a lot of the electronic infrastructure to be more secure, efficient and sustainable since it would be broken otherwise.

As was already pointed out that would also be a good excuse for an increase in jobs and production to get the economy back on track

I predict a sudden baby-boom in August of 2013.

That's a pretty safe bet since the births went up for Y2K also.

"We start with January 2000, commonly referred to as ‘the new millennium’.2 Figure 1 shows the pattern of conceptions (proxied by the birth rate 9 months later), births, and deaths. Relative to other Januaries, the first week of January 2000 saw an anomalous increase in conceptions (up 4%), births (up 12%), and, to a lesser degree, deaths. We can only speculate on the precise causes. An increase in the number of conceptions occurring in January 2000 could be caused by anything from an excess of millennial champagne to relief that the Y2K bug proved toothless."

Are you watching it with your mute button on ? NASA is mentioned @ 5 seconds into the video.

WTF ?

Nasa did a study. The scientist they interviewed is glaringly unconnected to NASA. This is a typical bullshit scare segment out of Fox. And you, like most Fox viewers bought it hook line and sinker.

Thanks for posting those links Argon. Great reading! It's nice to find some facts to show to some of my "the sky is falling" friends. :)

There are plenty of other theories about 2012 that are still unproven like the Mayans were visited by beings from the star Sirius and 2012 is when they return, there is still a lot of evidence unrefuted for that so you can tell your friends to focus on that.

One that I used to believe in was the Timewave Zero theory until the math was proven not to match the date, I still wish it was true since they predicted a lot of amazing things

The McKennas have programmed a computer with their 64 I Ching time systems and the answer is that everything goes jackpot around A.D. 2012. within the McKenna theory, all of the 64 time-scales peak together. That is, they assert:

a 4,300-year cycle from urbanization to the dawn of modern science;

a 384-year cycle in which science has caused more upsurge of novelty than in that 4,300 cycle;

a 67-year cycle (from technological breakthroughs of the 1940s, to the peak in 2012) in which there will be more acceleration than there was between Galileo and Hiroshima;

a 384-year cycle in 2011-2012 when there will be more tranformations than in all the previous cycles;

a 6-day cycle at the end of that in which things will move even faster; and so on, down to a grand climax in which, as they say,

in the last 135 minutes, 18 such barriers will be crossed, 13 of them in the last 75 X 10(-4) seconds.

That is, in the last two hours before Peak, we will achieve 18 extensions of consciousness and power, each one comparable to the passing from sea to land or from Earth to Space.

And in the last .0075 seconds of the Great Cycle we will pass through 13 such transformations.

i can't even believe i just read all that and did not understand one damned thing...wtf?

McKennas original date was Nov 16, 2012 - but was adjusted to coincide with the Mayan calender for some reason. Don't really know if that changes the math of the whole Time Wave Zero theory, but worth noting.

Looking forward to some "novelty" time myself . . .

Well if it is the 16th instead that might explain a few things, since it has been shown that the 21st date doesn't match up with the cycles. The link shows why 12/21/12 doesn't fit

"However, the timewave could be anchored to any other date and time, and the formal theory would remain unaffected, only its interpretation, when considered in the light of the historical data, would change. If the zero date is 2012-12-21, then (assuming the original set of 384 numbers) a large "descent into novelty" should have occurred during March 1996"

"Whatever number set is chosen as the basis for the timewave, the choice of the date and time for the zero point is crucial in relating the theory to the historical data (data which is required either to confirm or to refute it)."

"The approach he originally took to determining the zero date was to look for an event of great novelty in recent history, and to take this as the start of the final 67.29-year (24,576-day) cycle. The use of a uranium bomb to kill 80,000 civilians on 1945-08-06 seemed to him the most likely candidate for such an event. Adding 67.29 years to the date of the incineration of Hiroshima brings one to mid-November 2012. Influenced by the fact that the current 13-baktun cycle of the Maya Calendar ends in December 2012 McKenna adopted 2012-12-22 as the zero date."

Maybe if they recalculated with 12/16/12 instead then the historical data would match up with both the ascent and descent of the cycles better? I certainly wouldn't mind having it 5 days earlier especially with the potential of all that "novelty"

As time moves forward and our world moves closer toward the singularity, the speed at which time moves faster because the wave is compressing the timeline?

It's the speed of change not the speed of time. That's the whole point is that the knowledge of the species is accumulating more and more also spreading faster and faster that is what makes the change happen at an ever more accelerated rate.

Korzybski, Buckminster Fuller, Alvin Toffler and others have shown, with countless examples, that many things in technology are advancing exponentially, and the one general tendency is clearly that there will be more basic breakthroughs (both in scientific theory and in technological applications) in each generation than in any previous generation.

As Toffler in particular emphasizes, there are more scientists alive in the world than in all previous history added together and they can share their research globally faster than anytime in history. Thus, this generation should witness more breakthroughs than all previous histroy added together.
