| Quote: | | NASA predicts that the Sun will also reverse its own magnetic poles during 2012 as result of reaching the end of the current 11-year sunspot |
And all other "dooms day" predictions. I know that the Mayan calender ends 2012...but, so what! ?

"I am Legend" springs to mind  |

2012 is probably the launch date for the next windows incarnation... seems as good a choice for an end of the world date as any

Pfft anyone knows the world will end on the 29th August 2008. Well it is according to Michael Jackson. On his 50th.

microsoft should just skip the foreplay and get to the point and call it microsoft crash, or microsoft LOL - they could do that, and i guarantee you it wont damage their monopoly in any way...

I guess not, it does so every now and then, check this:
http://science.nasa.gov/headlines/y2001/ast15feb_1.htm
EDIT: Cool, scientists also believe that's the Earth's field also flips
| Quote: | | Earth’s magnetic field also flips, but with less regularity. Consecutive reversals are spaced 5 thousand years to 50 million years apart. The last reversal happened 740,000 years ago. Some researchers think our planet is overdue for another one, but nobody knows exactly when the next reversal might occur. |
Now that's something we wouldn't be seeing everyday, regular navigation gone to hell |

It may not just mess up the navigation, it can mess up the whole climate. Antarctica could turn into a desert, and Europe could turn into a tropical area.(For example)

Antarctica already is a desert. Climate is primarily related to the the position of the surface of the earth relative to the sun and the tilt of the axis. The magnetic field only has a minor cumulative effect, due to it's deflection of cosmic radiation and ionized particles. We're talking about a reversal here, not a lack of a magnetic field entirely.
I'm assuming you came up with this theory yourself because it is completely flawed. Notice how The Arctic and Antarctica are both frozen deserts and the northern temperate zone has a southern counterpart. Hard climate variations have a dispersed radial symmetry, a reversal would not affect this at all.
Navigation and communications would be affected but seeing as a reversal event is a gradual process taking up to thousands of years we would have time to adapt.
People just love to exaggerate when it comes to science, so much misinformation out there.

There are some really creepy youtube videos about this. Probably just another Y2K, seems like we can't go more then a decade and a half without a wild scare tactic.

Naaa, pretty spooky stuff...but who knows. I just find it interesting how we get hung up on dates and stuff. Means nothing in a cosmic perspective. There have been predictions like this for thousands of years. I guess Nostradamus is a rock star cause no one really figured what the hell he was talking about. The key (if there is one) has never really been found to encrypt hes quatrains, at least as far as I know.

Theres always an apocalypse round the corner, I can't believe anyone takes this crap seriously.
I guess some people just latch onto anything that makes them feel the future holds significance for them. It's the same shit with religion and all the life after death scenarios.

i would have written the same. Still - even as an atheist - every doomsday event that didnt bring doom gives me joy, so keep those doomsday-events coming |

@Topic
Some religions/group of peoples calendar ends....
And for christianity it means all those who believe in God, Jesus and the Holy spirit will leave earth. (While all the others live misary the rest of our lives)
...what a load of crap.
