Not only do the Mayans predict something big happening in 2012, So does Nostradamus. There are select Buddhist who also say that our past lives may be 'reset' in that year. Astronomers even think that there are going to be huge solar flare-ups in that time which may affect our magnetic poles and whatnot.
I didnt fall for Y2K... But this... I dont know, I dont think the world will end but Im coming to believe that something big really might happen.

WOW, either the History Channel's representation of 2012 is drastically different then the Discovery Channel's or you didn't really watch the whole thing. First off, the Mayans predicted nothing! To the few Mayan people still in existence 2012 is though of as a new beginning, not the end of anything more then a calendar. And while astronomers DO expect the sun to reach a higher intensity level and put out solar flares AROUND that time period, but they specifically stated that solar flares were not believed to be a hazard to the earth's magnetic field or core. The REAL danger from solar flares is shorting power grids and putting power out for extended periods of time. I'll sum it up just like they did. You are as likely to see the world end on december 21st 2012 as you are on any other day.
