Dirk,
Yes, that was a very good video. It did explain things very well. Before i watched that video, i didn't actually know what astronomical event was going to happen at the end of this year.

But knowing this information now, isn't it just a little bit strange how the Mayans predicted this event. Its pretty accurate to have a calender that ticks over ever 25,000 years. With the Earth, the Sun and the Galactic centre all lining up together! Pretty cool!

Hi John!
Amazing what those people could predict 2000 years ago and so accurately! And they didn´t even know a thing about wheels!!! Makes me wonder how this is possible.
Makes me wonder what kind of things are possible right know with all the knowledge gathered and all the technology available today.
Cheers!

Dirk,
Its beyond coincidence. It would be impossible to take a random guess as to how to set up your calender like that. They know exactly what they were doing Dirk. You would have to conclude that they had seen it before. I read about the Mayans and seemingly this is the 13th time their calender has ticked over this magic number. Now that really would make them a very very ancient civilisation.

Johnny, My son. A shout out to my fellow Irishman (by ancestry anyhow).

It looks like it's time to renew my offering of insurance against the world ending this December. I invite you and all others to deposit just $395 (US) into my Paypal account and I will guarantee that you will survive this ominous date.

Of course, if you are raptured then I will refund every bit of your premium.

Also, my firm will repack your sport parachute cheaper than the competition. We have had no complaints from anyone involving a parachute that did not open.

Daddio, my old friend,
Might i say, a mighty generous offer old chum. I'm very tempted by that offer of doomsday insurance, its a snip at only $395. And i have to admit, i was a bad boy during my life so if anyone is going to be raptured, i must be top of God's list for a good whipping.

But seriously, i never said i thought the world was going to end. I just commented that the Mayans have a darn accurate calender that seems kitted out to count massively long periods of time.

Daddio from my own research, which is still on-going, i found no evidence that the world, or the universe is going to end. But!! I have found evidence that major scientific changes are about to happen. Scientific changes the likes of which have never been seen before in the history of Human kind. So i'm keeping an open mind.

Something is about to happen. Its NOT going to be a big dramatic explosion coming from the sky. Its going to be more in the form of "scientific news" that only scientists will understand. In turn the scientists who do understand whats about to happen will convey the message to the masses of people who don't understand advanced science.

Isn't that the date the LHC will produce the first black hole god particle and the earth will be swallowed up?

LHC is not producing any black hole. I know because I have been running their MonteCarlo Simulations on a VirtualMachine called BOINC_VM. No sign of a black hole in my home.
