Re: 2012=DAY OF RECKONING.........maybe
There's been alot of talk recently about a 2013 solar flare that could prove extremely destructive.
No, nothing like the film, '2012' but if it proves powerful enough (something such as the 1859 solar flare) then experts have thought most modern technology could be rendered useless. Keep in mind, however, the Y2K problem, and how absolutely nothing happened.
Here's an article if anyone wants to read about it.

Re: 2012=DAY OF RECKONING.........maybe
The 2012 ''end of time''-thing was based on calculations from the Mayan calendar. But as it turns out, the calculations were wrong, and any event that would happen this way is some 200 years in the future.
Furthermore, it was just when the Mayan calendar ended. It says nothing about anything like an apocalypse, this is just made up by people who got to know the calendar just ended. if anything did happen, according to the Mayans something good would happen, such as great knowledge and wisdom for mankind, thus actually marking the ending of the calendar as a beginning for a new era.
At last, it seems that the Mayans didn't end the calendar with a specific reason, like ending time at that moment, or starting a new era of glory; the people who research into this believe that they just stopped making the calendar. They just stopped, like that. Maybe they were bored. Maybe they wanted to work on it more, later on.
Bottom Line: It is indeed a load of crap.

Mistranslations, speculations, and assumptions.
I don't believe anything will happen, however the threat of solar flares are real and have struck the Earth before - though during a time where humans did not entirely rely on electronic technology (as Purpa Nurp stated).

Re: 2012=DAY OF RECKONING.........maybe
Although my previous post explains most about the 2012 thing- how it came to be, and how it's not true- the solar flare thing is indeed a real threat. But they happen all the time: the magnetic forces that are released by the sun when it does such a thing, ''attack'' out atmosphere, and have a beautiful fight called the Aurora (the Northern Lights). However, there have been cases in which the fire may actually come a little closer to Earth, and power is so strong that it has direct influence on our planet, causing power loss .Which has happened not too long ago, somewhere in the northern part of America. Still close to the north pole, being more fragile against such attacks.
But now it seems there may be one of an even larger scale, just around the corner, in 2012. But I only read that in this thread, and I don't know where they got it from.
Anyway, it's quite obvious it reminds me of AC2, too... xD
So, I guess in the end we'll just be saved by Desmond Miles. =D

technically, 2012 would be a year of reckoning. and that's a lot of reckoning for me, an exhausting amount, to be honest. honestly. that amount of reckoning just seems to be unrealistic, therefore i deem the theory a fallacy. THE FALL OF SEAS! reckon only if ye can't swim. swim, jim, rim.

on a side note, reckoner is an amazing song.

Re: 2012=DAY OF RECKONING.........maybe
Solar flares happen all the time - but they experience periods of high and low every 11 years. This is normal - otherwise we'd be having apocolypses every 11 years. However, to add on top of that, the Sun has massive magnetic potential as well. This reaches it's peak every 22 years. So overall, this sort of thing happens about every 100 years, with varying intensity. (Such as the 1859 or whatever one).
The instance you're talking about was in 1989, and mainly affected Canada (lulz). To put just that in perspective, the American government thought the radiation caused by that was a soviet nuclear strike, and the one slotted for 2013 is much more direct at the Earth, and in a greater magnitude.

Re: 2012=DAY OF RECKONING.........maybe
AH, thanks for the added info, mate. ^^ I didn't want to look it all up, or memorize what I've learned.
Anyway, any heat that this may cause can be bad for us, of course. But if it's just another disturbance in the force (Electromagnetic force, to be precise), we can do something to bring the damage to a minimum. By not using any electricity, the systems don't get screwed up. Or, just not that easily.
I'm not totally sure -Note: I said I didn't want to look it up and memorize it-, but not making use of electrical systems when a general version of this event takes place, can save us, that way. Use your computer, however, and it will most likely EXPLODE. Uhm, just sortof die. =|
*Thing that work on batteries have a larger chance of surviving, though. ^_^ So as long as we can use flashlights, we'll not be in complete darkness.*
ANYWAY, may Nurpman want to add something, to this 17-year-old amateur? xD

Bioshock Infinite is out in 2012, i will play that game so therefore earth shall be fine.

Re: 2012=DAY OF RECKONING.........maybe
It's not just the magnetic force - the case in 1859 actually fried electrical cables, and from some accounts the sky was actually dyed red. But if you're suggesting merely 'turning off' the worlds electricity,
1. That wouldn't work, electricity is generated not stored.
2. Even if we did stop generating electricity, we still would lose all technology because we wouldn't have anything to power it.
Basically, if a solar flare of this magnitude were to strike, it could very well be the end of the world as we know it. Then again, it could just be like any other power blackout we've ever experienced
Well, the stellar magnetic force would in theory destroy most modern technologies, just like an EMP device. However, this one would be huge, as stated before, the relatively small one in 1989 took out all of Quebec's power, and even that barely broke the atmosphere.D3m190d;434991 said:AH, thanks for the added info, mate. ^^ I didn't want to look it all up, or memorize what I've learned.

Really? How come? The Mayan calendar is based on a cosmological event in which the sun is aligned with a certain ''thing'' in space. this happens in our 2012.
Also, another way to tackle the theory of what would happen in 2012: this event has happened multiple times, with no impact in Earth, whatsoever. It happened as recently as 1800 something. =|

Personally i dont believe the whole " the world is going to end in 2012". They said that it would end in the year 2000 too, did it? If God wills for the world to end in 2012 then it will end and everyone will go to Heaven or Hell.

There are many cosmic threats to our planet, it's wonder were still here today. However I do not belive any kind of doomsday even would happen because the Mayan calender says so. When speculating on the end of the earth You have to be logical & rational, this includes taking into account threats that We know are real, threats such as asteroids, super flares, among other things. You can't be certain when trying to derive the truth from prophecies. The only sure way is go on what is real, there is no certainty in prophecies such as these. It is a matter of belief.
For all We know it could be the end of the world tomorrow, it could be the end in 500 years, etc. Best thing to do is to not worry, just roll with it.
