Hells yea!In 2012, asteroid 2004MN4 comes into view again to recalculate odds of impact.
...strike the Earth in 2029.
Additional observations of the trajectory of Apophis revealed the "keyhole" would likely be missed and on August 5, 2006, Apophis was lowered to a Level 0 on the Torino Scale. As of October 19, 2006, the impact probability for April 13, 2036, is estimated at 1 in 45,000. An additional impact date in 2037 has been identified; however, the impact probability for that encounter is 1 in 12.3 million.
Despite the fact that there is no longer any significant probability of an Earth impact, the Planetary Society is offering a $50,000 prize for the best plan to put a tracking device on or near the asteroid.

Re: 2012, a year of dramatic change.
1) The Mayan concept of time is differs from the Western concept. While we see time as linear, Mayans believed in the "eternal now" that went through cycles. This was based on their highly developed astrological observations, and natural Earth cycles.
2) The Mayan predictions are vague at best, and only make sense in retrospect....like a every other predicted "prophecy" that has ever existed. They are predictions that can be interpreted many different ways. People just read too much into them.
3) Y2K, lulz
4)
5) Why the hell are people taking advice from a civilization that, due to civil war, poor farming practices, urbanization, the leeching of natural resources, and a top heavy aristocracy, disappeared from the face of the Earth, save for small patches of primitive outsider settlements?Comment

Re: 2012, a year of dramatic change.
I did research on the Mayans. One _______ (Forgot her title), who specialized in Mayan history, said that there is no evidence of an appocalypse or any kind of such predictions from the Mayans.
2012 December somethingorother at 11 O'Clock will mark the flipover period of their lunar calendar, which will be the first time that the sun passes between the Milky Way and Earth in some number of years.
Are there "energies" that this will block? Maybe. No one knows, no one can prove it (If there are, we've never had them blocked before in our lifetime, or even the Mayans, so no one can vouch for that). The media blows this up, saying how the energies being disrupted will end life as we know it (Not necessarily killing Earth, but changing life forever).
Conclusion: It's possible (As almost anything is), but there is no evidence to support that this is any more than a little kid's nightmare. This is not a fact or prediction made from the remarkably accurate Mayans.They say there's a sun in the sky...

Re: 2012, a year of dramatic change.
The thing is... the Sun has been between the Milky Way and us before, but nothing big has happened. No "end of the world".
All I know is that December 2012 will be quite an interesting time whether this is true or not. Lots of people will be doing crazy things like running around proclaiming the end of the world.
The more I think about it, the more it seems that we aren't superstitious. It's more like we're paranoid.Originally posted by Phynx

Re: 2012, a year of dramatic change.
These last people that have spoken actually make sense! A bunch of mumbo-jumbo does, naturally, make more sense after the event occurred. I think they're predictions were most likely a random shot in the dark.
Oh, the Egyptian culture is gone, by the way. Mayans are about as old as Egyptians. No wonder why their civilization disappeared. No society has every lasted over 1,000 years, not even Rome and Rome was a very successful society. It's only expected that a society will burn out. I hate to say it, but the U. S. Government will one day burn out and that will be the fall of the U. S. The collapse of societies is inevitable.sigpic
The world has gone crazy and so have I.

Re: 2012, a year of dramatic change.
I'm a superstitious person, but in my lifetime alone (16 years.. noooot a long time) there have been 2 or 3 doomsday threats. Y2k, 9/11, and 6/6/06. After 3 threats in 7 years actually, you start getting kind of sick of it. I guess this 12/21/12 thing is getting so much attention cause it's been a popular one for years. I remember being in 5th grade and asking my teacher if a comment was supposed to hit in the year 2012. Something may happen, but until it does, I'm not worrying about it. Too many times have I heard the same bull crap.
