A) Typical estimates put it at about a 1000 year process.
B) It has happened over 10,000 times in Earth's history and has never been linked to any extinction
event.
C) These events are usually preceded 20,000 to 40,000 years of a fairly steady decline in the
strength of the Earth’s magnetic field. This has not been the case at this time. Not to mention
our current magnetic field is roughly four times the strength that is usual during one of these
events.
So to sum up; It has happened many times and doesn’t appear to be particularly dangerous, and
there is no reason to think we are headed into such an event any time soon.
Of course there will be things to worry about after 2012. That would be... Ohidontknow...getting on
with your life and stop falling for every bit of end of the world doom talk. What will the next big
scare be? Something along the lines of 20/20/20? 30/03/03? Its just numbers. The mayans never
predicted the end of the world anymore then you would predict the world at the end of your calender.
It a bunch of amatuers who misread some hyroglyphics and got overexcited. Then hollywood got wind of
it and now its a multimillion dollar hysteria. It is the exact same thing that happend in the year
2000. Some scary rumors catch hold, the big corporations find out about it and use it to make money
off of survival supplies.
I believe the scientists. That is what I base the argument on; our movement from the age of pices into aquarius as indicated by the divine ratio and the perfect planetary allignment predicted, in essence by the end of the Mayan calender are just a "bonus". I attribute nothing to the date.
