I not sure how much you know about the Mayan calendars, but from what I know, the Mayan calendar (the time-tracking one on which the "end of the world" prediction is formed) is based only on days. They got the December 21, 2012 date by counting only the quantity of days forward with the Gregorian Leap Year calendar. I might be wrong though.
That being said, I think we all know what's up here -_-

This correct answer to this question is I don't know. The world could end this very second. What is to stop it?

I'm going to organize a big party. Several people will probably die of alcohol poisoning, so for them, it will be the end of the world! Also, I'm a little confused about this, but is it supposed to end sometime during the 21st, or as soon as the clock hits 12 on the 20th, or what?
As for my own prediction, it will be because Valve releases Techies for Dota 2. Every bad player in the game will constantly pick Techies. This will cause an inexorable amount of frustration, and potentially misplaced hate against Russians, increasing political tensions in Europe. This will incite several riots across Europe, China, and the Americas, and will culminate in a rogue military group launching attacks against Seattle in an attempt to stop Valve and initiating WW3.

My birthday is on this day ^_^ Should be fun times haha!

My birthday is December 20th. I'm gonna have a party so great that it will bring about the end of the world.

If the Mayans were so good at predicting shit where the fuck are they now. . . you think if you could predict the future you would hang around for a while. . .

Got 'em!

I'm waiting until the 22nd to start my christmas shopping, don't want to waste that time if the world's going to end.

I feel like whether or not the world ends that day, it's going to be one of the most dysfunctional days in the history of society. I can see people partying like hell on the 20th, no one showing up to school/work on the 21st, committing crimes, etc..
Maybe the end isn't some god's wrath or unlikely natural occurrence, but rather society collapsing on itself.

Im pretty sure im going to Tiesto that night LOLOLOL! Ill die raving hard then ^_^

The best part of this thread is going to be December 22nd
EDIT: as of this edit roughly 1/4 TL users think the WORLD WILL END on Dec. 21st 2012. Seriously, TL? I thought this was a scientifically literate community

My biggest question is that if the end of the world occurs, what time do we use? I mean doesn't japan reaches December 21st earlier said East Coast of USA. So does the world ends then or what?
|
If the world ends it will be human induced and not a crazy brown star or reptiles or anything else nutty like that.

Scientific literacy and folly are orthogonal.

The mayans used a calendar which is based on alignments and stuff, what we know as 21 by our gregorian calendar just happens to be the day their calendar ended. One reason why scientists think the world will not end is because it is more reasonable that they just felt it isn't worth making a new one since they didn't felt living for an other thousand and some years was guaranteed.

I'm confused. The "galactic alignment" which is professed to be so important was expected to occur in 1998 with an 18 year +/-. Sure 2012 happens to fall within that expected variance, but is this the only argument for the world ending on such a precise date? Seems like a lot of nonsense to me.
EDIT: there are also some inconsistencies. The part containing arguments for the pole shift theory claims that scientists predict the poles will shift in 2012, while the scientists at NASA say that it is unlikely the poles will shift in the next couple of millennia.
