Am not sure how many have heard about this one, but apparently the world is going to end on Dec 21, 2012 - that's according to the Mayans. The Mayans were a highly developed ancient civilization that lived in what is now Mexico and Central America. The Mayans had a fascination for astrology. They studied the celestial bodies in quite some depth, probably because they thought the planets influenced the way they live on Earth.

Well, anyhow, the Mayans created something fantastic. A calender (3 calenders actually) - quite complex but apparently very accurate. In fact, some researches claim that the Mayan calender is more accurate than our present-day calenders. Probably that's why we should take them seriously.

Well, coming to the point, supposedly the Mayan calender ends on December 21, 2012. Nothing beyond that!!! Nobody knows for sure - why?? Now, some researchers believe that on that date, i.e. December 21, 2012, for the first time in about 26,000 years, there will be a unique celestial alignment. Apparently, "the Sun rises to conjunct the intersection of the Milky Way and the plane of the ecliptic, describing in the sky a great cross of stars and planets."

Now, some observers believe that this alignment with the "heart of the galaxy in 2012 will open a channel for cosmic energy to flow through the earth, cleansing it and all that dwells upon it, raising all to a higher level of vibration." Well, some talk of the poles of the earth shifting on this date and some scientists say that the process of the shifting of poles is real and possibly happening. So, probably this unique alignment would cause some gravitational reaction on the Earth!!

Well, who know really what would happen on December 21, 2012, but I sure hope it just pasess off without anything significant!!!
