NASA Says World Will Not End In 2012
Posted on: Tuesday, 10 November 2009, 15:05 CST
NASA has launched an investigation in its efforts to prove that world will not come to an end on December 21, 2012, despite the claims of many Internet theorists.
The theory states that world will come to an end, based on deductions from the Mayan calendar, as a mysterious planet, Nibiru, collides with Earth.
The claims have fueled a Sony Picture, titled “2012,” which will come to theaters on Friday.
Some Internet theorists have blamed NASA for keeping information concealed about the Earth’s doomsday.
"There is no factual basis for these claims," NASA said on its Web site.
"Astronomers would have been tracking it for at least the past decade, and it would be visible by now to the naked eye."
"Obviously, it does not exist."
"Credible scientists worldwide know of no threat associated with 2012," said NASA.
NASA added that the Mayan calendar does not end on December 21, 2012, as many have insisted. Instead, it begins another period as soon as the calendar comes to an end.
According to AFP, some theorists claim that the Earth’s rotation and magnetic polarity are related, causing a magnetic reversal roughly about every 400,000 years.
"As far as we know, such a magnetic reversal doesn't cause any harm to life on Earth," said NASA.
"We have already determined that there are no threatening asteroids as large as the one that killed the dinosaurs," the space agency insisted.

Posted by none of your busssss on 11/10/2009, 20:11 as far as we know, NASA could be just lying to use, people from area 51 said they are working with grey aliens, or 1 that can read minds and send images to your mind, and they have 9 ufo's and they are trying to backward engineer all the alien tech they found and recovered.alots of these accounts were told by possible workers from Area 51. |
