The recently released movie, 2012, has generated a lot of interest in conspiracy theories which say that the world is expected to end in the year 2012. There are several theories around why 2012 is the day we all kick the bucket. Several of them include something hitting the Earth in that year including a rogue planet or a meteor. Others include a dramatic polar shift or giant storms resulting from solar activity.

To dispel the myths and legends, NASA has launched a website which directly responds to some of the doomsday claims surrounding 2012. One of the touted indicators of the world’s end is the fact that the Mayan calendar ends in that year. NASA explains the calendar ends like your kitchen calendar ends on December 31, 2009. That does not mean the world is going to end in 2009. It means you need a new calendar.

It is pretty bewildering to me that NASA would have to step in to calm fears because people actually believe that the movie 2012 is based on factual evidence. What needs to be clear is that the factual evidence is as solid as stating that robots called Transformers are fighting a war on this planet which has been covered up by the government. Personally, I do not think I will be seeing any trucks transforming into a robot anytime soon. In fact, I think there is a greater chance of that happening than the world ending in 2012. As far as a Transformer war ending the world in 2012 you may have me there.
