I am so bored at home.No school equals extreme boredness.
So I decided to do some research about 2012.
Anyway, before I say or post anything.I would like to make a stand that I don't believe a single bit about the controversy of 2012.I am just super bored and I find this thing super interesting.
It is predicted that in 2012, Earth would experience a polar reversal/pole shift(sounds very physics eh?) :
1. Poleshift: A sudden and radical displacement of the planet's axis of rotation (the earth tips over).
-or-
2. Poleshift: A slippage of the planet's solid crust over the molten interior - so that the polar locations change.
So what if the there is a poleshift?
Rather than copying and pasting the whole junk of information which is in 'alien-language', I'll try to explain it here in a much more simpler way.
1) The earth as we know is like a magnet which has north and south poles.When a poleshift happens, basically the poles switch places where north becomes south and south becomes north.And when that happens, it would lead to a series of catastrophic events to occur.Just take for instance our earth is a spinning top.Made out of solid wood, a top could happily spin forever without any harm coming to it.But if it were hollow, however, and something loose was rattling around inside, then its spinning actions would eventually cause it to wear our - friction and interaction between two objects will always eventually cause fatigue and destruction.Earth, is not a single solid unit - it has layers that scrape against each other.
2) Remember the earthquake that hit Indonesia?Bandar Aceh?As a geography student if I'm not wrong, an earthquake or a volcano eruption is bound to occur due to the movement and grinding of the earth plates.And the plates need not grind so much.All they need is between 1-4cm of grinding to cause tsunamis and terrible earthquakes that can destroy an entire civilisation.In 2012, its predicted that the earth's crust would 'slip' thousands of kilometres in less than the time it takes for the earth to grind between 1-4cm!Imagine what terrors await us if this happens?
Then again my religion has taught me that all these things are in the hands of god.
'Hanya Allah yang menentukan segala-galanya...'.
-Only God decides how He want things to go.
However, such things amuse me and cause me to raise certain questions.I understand that this is not the first time scientist, philosophers and psychists predict the end of the world to happen.But this is the first time that it is so controversial.
What is scaring me more is that before the end of the world, it is said that there will be signs such as outbreak of diseases, climatic change and war.This are the signs that we are experiencing now!The swine flu, The killing hot weather that burns and also the war between North Korea and South Korea.
So how? to believe or not to believe? You decide. =)
