NASA: December 21, 2012 isn't the end of the world
Will the World End on December 21, 2012?
No, of course the world isn't going to end on December 21, 2012. I can't believe we're even still talking about this.
On December 11, 2012, NASA posted a video to YouTube, forward-dated to December 22. The video explains, in simple terms, why the world won't end. NASA's video is helpfully titled "Why the World Didn't End Yesterday", and you can watch it below.
Basically, there's no indication that the Sun is flaring up to the extent that it'll torch the Earth (which has never happened in the multi-billion year history of our planet), and no rogue celestial body is hurtling towards us like in "Deep Impact". Think about it: if an asteroid were really on a collision course with Earth, and if it were really going to strike us on December 21, it would be clearly visible in the sky by now, no telescope required.
"Why the World Didn't End Yesterday" also explains a bit about how the Mayans kept track of time, and how the failure to grasp the concept of the odometer has led to the whole "Mayan doomsday prophecy" nonsense that's so prevalent in 2012.
SciShow also has some input on this issue. If "The Mayan Calendar & 2012" seems a bit snarky and condescending, it's no more than the overly-credulous deserve.
If you want to wait until the day after the supposed end of the world to watch the NASA video, that's cool: it'll still be here. So will you.
Because the world won't end on December 21. Don't go full Harold Camping on us. December 22 is going to happen. That's the long and short of it, whatever that implies for your own life. Best take that on board and get used to it.
