Will the world end on December 21, 2012?

What makes you think that the world will end on 12/21/2012? I can’t think of any reasons that could really end the world on the said date. Although, I can’t claim to have any ability to predict the future, I am of firm belief that the world possibly can’t end on the given day and you should not worry about it.

Alright! Let’s consider the possibility of world ending on December 21, 2012 and think of reasons that could actually make it happen. Mentioned below are some of the causes that having the potential to end the world or at least wipe out a majority of human population.

1. Global warming – The rate at which the global climate has been changing over last few years could have a major impact on the world but not to the extent that it will end the world on December 21, 2012. The impact is not going to end the world on December 21, 2012 only but will create problems for man kind to be able to lead a healthy life in near future.
2. Natural disasters – Earthquakes, volcanoes, Tsunamis, floods – all of these have the potential to create large disasters but none of them have what it takes to end the world.
3. Wars and Nuclear Bombs – This is a remote possibility and I am confident that even if any country decides to bomb all reachable destinations with its entire inventory of nuclear bombs, the world will still survive and man kind will not end.
4. Global financial crisis – We are yet to fully recover from the current financial crisis but a much worse crisis in 2012 would still not end the day on December 21, 2012. Financial crisis could make it difficult for us to survive but for sure will not end the world in a single day.

Ok, we had enough of the reasons that could possible occur in 2012 and the chances of all of them occurring in 2012 is likely but the world will not end in a single day. While I say that, I am thinking about those things that could really end our world on December 21, 2012. Mentioned below are some of the factors that could potentially end the world in a single day, although the probability of them happening in 2012 is less than 0.0001% or 0%.

1. Space invasion – Do you think earth could be invaded by aliens? Possibly a war with them in 2012 and they dropping a bomb on December 21, 2012 on our planet and our planet getting destroyed in no time. I can’t imagine that happening. Do you?
2. Deterioration of Earth’s magnetic field – Recently read about it somewhere and scientists all over the world are confident that it is not going to happen in near future at least. But if something were to go wrong with earth’s magnetic field, I am not sure if scientists would know what to do. Imagine all sea water floating in air if it really happens.
3. Asteroid – Otherwise also known as planetoids could possibly hit our planet and result in ending the world. We might be able to know about any asteroid coming towards earth much in advance and will be able to handle that.
4. Sun will switch off – We know a lot of how Sun works but there are things beyond our knowledge. If something happens to Sun, it could trigger end of mankind and life on planet earth. Something I can’t think will happen in next hundreds of years.

Conclusion: Earth will not end on December 21, 2012 but possibly it could be the starting day or perhaps the year when life threatening problems with begin. What’s your say?
