According to the system of Maya chronology, time is cyclical, and we live in the fourth world, which began in August 11/13 3144 years BC and will end on 21 or 23 December 2012. Then will begin the next world. Most experts on the Mayan culture does not find in the historical sources of evidence of the coming Armageddon. I would like to draw readers ' attention to the fact that at the end of the calendar nothing unusual there: when our hanging on the wall calendar ends on December 31, we do not expect the end of the world, and just go to the store to buy a new one.
Found this statement allegedly by Hindu calendar, in 2012, will begin the Kaliyuga. This period of 432 years, according to the traditional theory of the South, which is characterized by loss of human culture. For example, in the Mahabharata there are prophecies about the horrors of the Kaliyuga:
- people will be selling food [b] (while in a good era food give away for free - approx. author)
- Vedic knowledge [knowledge of the Vedas] will be on the trade market, and women will sell their bodies [link: the Mahabharata, the Book of the Forest, 188, 42];
- the brahmin will be engaged in physical labor, and the untouchables will make money [the Book of the Forest, 188, verse 31];
- the brahmin will have everything [will become omnivorous] in the Kaliyuga [the Book of the Forest, 188, verse 33];
- the brahmin will throw spiritual practices [meditate], and they will engage untouchable.
Since I live in India, I can assure the Kaliyuga long since begun, namely... on February 18, 3102 years before our era. So we now live in 5110 year of this period, and the end of it will come through 426 890 years. With the end of the world, the Kaliyuga, not promises, on the contrary, the next period Kritayuga will be the Golden age. In Vedere Purana (Purana, a Hindu religious texts, written at least 5 thousand years ago) says that in Kritayuga is only one God and only one religion; people will throw all bad, and what they did in the Kaliyuga, including stops eating meat, drinking alcohol, adultery, to be cruel; they will follow the path of Dharma - non-violence.
Now let's deal with astronomical myths about the causes of the end of the world. I counted six of the most popular:
The Niebuhr - planet-sister Earth will pass near or facing us and will cause the planetary scale of destruction, as in the movie "2012".Happens strongest solar flare that will destroy the foundations of our civilization, such as electricity, communications and transport. People will turn to cannibalism when food in the stores will end.The solar system passes through the galactic equator, that he neither meant.Earth, Moon, Sun, sometimes Venus, sometimes Jupiter will line up with the supermassive black hole at the center of our Galaxy; both should cause some disasters, presumably due to gravitational perturbations.The earth will stand in line with all the planets of the Solar system, there will be a parade of the planets, which in some way will cause again planetary destruction.A fleet of giant UFO remained in Pluto. The falsity of this myth is well explained by the Russian astronomer Vladimir Surdin in the article "UFO Armada threatens the Earth".
A detailed expose of the myth of the planet Niebuhr published Stanislav Short, an employee of the Observatory Ka-Dar Newspaper.Roux. I will explain only two points. The first relates to the finding still not noticed by astronomers largest planet in the Solar system. On the website NASA "Space weather" constantly provides current data on the state of the heliosphere - our earth living space. For example, in December of this year, on account of the astronomers are 1167 potentially hazardous asteroids, namely those that can come closer to the Ground than 0, 05 astronomical units (1 astronomical unit - A.E. is equal to 149 598 000 kilometers) and are larger than 100 meters. For example, on 9 December 2010 the asteroid 2010J L33 size 1, 3 kilometers passed us at a distance of 0, 04.E. The following object - 2008 EA32 - will be held on 7 January 2011 at a distance of 0, 2 And.E. from Earth. All these carefully observe asteroids. When such control is impossible to miss the planet 3-4 times more Land.
The second point - you can often find this explanation: planet Niebuhr was still hiding behind the Sun, so we didn't see her. In this regard, let me remind you about the satellite Voyager 1, launched in 1977. 23 years later, flew across the Solar system, February 14, 1990, he looked back and sent a series of photographs of the Sun and planets, for the first time making external "portrait" of the Solar system. And the portrait, and pictures available to all on the website NASA Planetary photo journal". No planet hiding behind the Sun, not visible in these photos. Her absence was confirmed by two solar telescope STEREO, one of which is A STEREO - ahead of the Earth in orbit, and the other STEREO B - behind her. This arrangement of devices allows you to make stereoscopic images of the Sun.
Let's deal with the second myth, and we again will help the website "Space weather". It is known that the activity of our Sun exposed 11-year cycle, which represents the alternation of the minimum and maximum number of spots on the stellar surface. In the period of the maximum in the Sun a lot of spots, flares and prominences, which cause on Earth strong geomagnetic storm, a disturbance of satellite communication and beautiful auroras. In the solar minimum stains may not be for weeks, no outbreaks, as Aurora. But this is the safest time for astronauts. Counting cycles are from minimum to minimum. Now, the previous 23rd solar cycle started in 1997, it was expected that the new, 24-th cycle will begin in 2007 the growth of activity, but this did not happen. The solar minimum was delayed. In 2008, the solar wind was the weakest in the last 50 years, solar brightness is the lowest for the last 12 years and lowest for the last 55 years, the radio emission. In 2004, astronomers predicted that the next peak of Solar activity will happen in 2010, but in the beginning of the year the Sun counted only two spots, and at the time of this writing, they were not added.
Now astronomers believe that the maximum 24-th cycle will have to turn 2014-2015 and this maximum will be the weakest since 1928, even weaker maximum of the 23rd cycle - so no superspecies in the Sun in 2010 will not happen.
Now about the motion of the Earth and the whole Solar system through the galactic equator. There has clearly been a confusion in terminology, and it seems about the galactic plane, which represents the plane of the galaxy disk. Our Solar system, which is located on the edge of the milky way, makes approximately one revolution around the Galaxy for 226-250 million years.
Several times per revolution (and there already was 20-25) it crosses the galactic plane, which, incidentally, has a decent thickness - 1600 light years for a thin disk and 5 thousand light years for Tolstoy. No planetary catastrophes during these intersections did not happen (although there are unconfirmed theory that in these times there was a mass extinction). Currently we rise above the galactic plane for about 3 million years. After about 13, 5 Megalit (astronomers call millions of years, for the sake of brevity) we will change the movement and start descending to cross the plane again after 30 megalith. So passing in December 2012 of the Earth through the "galactic equator", and the true galactic plane is not expected.
Consider the fourth myth, according to which the Earth will line up with a black hole in the center of our Galaxy. The problem here is rather logical. The fact that there is nothing easier, than to spend an imaginary line from the Earth or the Sun to the center of our Galaxy. It's as easy as a straight line between two points, one of which, considering the distance, it is possible to take our planetary system. Here you have a straight line starting at the to the Ground and ending in a black hole. Do not worry if this does not occur. You can spend the same line from the Earth to the rest of supermassive black holes in nearby galaxies, and with the same null result.
However, this myth has a different version. According to one of them, the Sun will come right in the galactic center, and the black hole will eat". For some reason, you forget that we are at a terrible distance from this terrible black hole: how we see it now, she was 26 thousand years ago - so it took the light to reach us. But nothing in the Universe can move faster than light, and certainly not the Sun with the planets. All stars, including the Sun, revolve around the Galaxy at a speed of not more than 220 km/s. That is, compared with 300 000 km/sec, with which light moves? This same argument refutes another version of the myth - the burst of energy from the black hole will destroy the Earth in 2012,. If now from the black hole there are any release, even gravity, the end of the world need to push at least 26 thousand years in the future. Well, if the release of energy from the black hole occurred on 26 thousand years ago, its effect on galactic environment, we would have already noticed, it is hard to imagine that he is rushing through a tunnel, built by someone in space, to unsuspecting earthlings.
From all the above myths, perhaps the easiest to expose the myth of the parade of planets in 2012 - the lining them up in one line from the point of view of the observer. Preachers of this phenomenon absolutely insist on the exact location of several planets in one line. The simplest case of the parade of planets is a Solar Eclipse, when the Sun, Moon and Earth are on the same line.
The next Eclipse is known in advance, and very accurately, it is calculated astronomers, based on data about the orbits of the planets. Parade of all the nine planets are not expected in the next few millions of years, and arranging them all simply thread we will not wait for ever. The fact that the orbits of the planets are tilted to the Ecliptic plane, all at different angles and they revolve around the Sun at different speeds. For example, Mercurian year is 88 days, and Jupiter - 12 earth years. Even the Moon does not lie in the plane of the Ecliptic, and then we could have Solar and Lunar Eclipse 2 times per month. Parade of planets is an optical effect when the planets are on the same side of the Sun in approximately one quadrant (90 degrees), which happens not so rarely, maybe once every 200 years. In 1982 we watched the parade of the seven planets. The angle at which the agreed giant planets - Jupiter, Uranus, Saturn and Neptune with Pluto, was equal to 65 degrees, when viewed from the center of the Sun, and this situation lasted for two years. If we consider the other planets, the angle was 95 degrees. According to calculations, the most comprehensive historical time parade of the planets took place on 11 June 1128. Then the convergence angle was 40 degrees, and no accidents in that year was not - we would know.
The alignment of three or four planets happens often. For example, in December 2008 there was a "smiling" connection of the moon, Venus and Jupiter. The transit of Venus across the disk of the Sun is also a planetary alignment.
