2012 doomsday? (Page 1 of 2)

I was hoping the LHC would finish us off sooner.

well It has to happen at some point. Most people who brush off the idea of doomsday approaching only do it because of empirical evidence: It hasn't happened yet, so why should we assume it would?

This is interesting:

Ultimate fate of the universe
Main article: Ultimate fate of the universe

As with interpretations of what happened in the very early universe, advances in fundamental physics are required before it will be possible to know the ultimate fate of the universe with any certainty. Below are some of the main possibilities.

Big freeze: 1014 years and beyond
Main articles: Future of an expanding universe and Heat death of the universe

This scenario is generally considered to be the most likely, as it occurs if the universe continues expanding as it has been. Over a time scale on the order of 1014 years or less, existing stars burn out, stars cease to be created, and the universe goes dark.[13],

2012 is where the maya calender ends, maybe that's just when they got sick of reading those stupid stars and got into wearing gold.

wishful thinking. nothing of such importance will happen in our petty little lifetimes.

"The end of the times is coming"

hope is coming sooner, like for example tomorrow, or even better today, let's say... now.

i think being sucked into a black hole would be weirder.
