Hi Orb,

I just renewed my drivers license til November 2012, I'll have to think about renewing it again.

Seriously though, I saw a cable show (on the Mayan stuff) the other day that said the sun will align with the center of the milky way on 31/12/2012. The show also noted that 26,000 years is the cycle for the Earths polarity change.

I hadn't heard this one before: can you explain what they mean by "align with the center of the milky way?" That's kind of like saying "the Earth will align with the Sun"...

Just a technical note, the Earth's polarity switching averages *much* longer than 26,000 years and the last one was 780,000 years ago! While current weakening places the next reversal somewhere between 3000-4000AD (ibid), predicting that it will next occur in 5 years is kind of like predicting that the San Andreas will send Los Angeles into the Pacific Ocean at 12:19 PM on 3/14/2008....could be true, but not bloody likely!

Re: 2012 Conspiracy theories

maybe earth, sun, and the galactic center harmonize?
I was reading about this harmonization in detail somewhere but I totally forgot the details..

What's really going down in 2012 with the cosmos? Who knows whats up?

Could be. But geek that I am, I was really asking a Geometry question....

Re: 2012 Conspiracy theories

Somethings are always aligned if you pick the right perspective. There may be some nifty straight line on some random date for observers on Earth, but go just one planet away to Mars (for example) on that same day and the wonders of the alignment go away. It's just another random configuration from another viewpoint, and it becomes just another day with little or no awe inspiring attributes.


There are infinite alignments happening all of the time. Why are those we see from Earth supposed to be somehow special? Geocentric much?

I think alignments make harmony out of geometrical space, regardless of the perspective used to observe it.

Re: 2012 Conspiracy theories

Is the proper term synchronized?

I've never found any meaning in alignments other than how they show the big shapes. (And you know, seasons)
Time works.

Re: 2012 Conspiracy theories

Graham Hancock talks about the maya, 2012, a 40 year window, december 21 2012, possibilities, the heavens, etc.

sheds light on the matter.


He said that the sun will rise in the center of the milky way galaxy in 2012.
It's just a symbol of rebirth.
