Maybe some strong solar flare activity...

What do you guys think of these events or maybe someone can explain what events in the heavens happen in 2012. Still, fairly smart of the Mayans to figure this stuff out.

As far as I know the Mayans never figured anything out, even if there was something to figure out. 2012 just happens to be the end of the current cycle of the Long Count calendar usually associated with the Maya.

As for what would happen...probably nothing, unfortunately.

Quite epic to think theres that many, and that they all are spinning around earth! Breathtaking.

I don't even think the Mayans think the world will end or change in 2012. Seems I read something, some heavenly bodies may line up, or some crap as Plat said, but never seen any real evidence, so who knows.
