Sun's Polar Shift on 2012 coincidence?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the polar shift of the sun, which NASA confirmed occurred in 2001 and is expected to happen again in 2012. The Mayan calendar, known for its precision, predicts the end of the world in December 2012, but the consensus is that the polar shift will not cause significant damage, as previous shifts have not resulted in adverse effects. The poster expresses skepticism about the catastrophic predictions surrounding the 2012 date, suggesting that it is likely a coincidence without substantial evidence of destruction.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of solar phenomena, specifically solar polar shifts.
  • Familiarity with the Mayan calendar and its historical significance.
  • Basic knowledge of NASA's research and findings on solar activity.
  • Ability to discern credible sources from unreliable information online.
NEXT STEPS
  • Research NASA's findings on solar polar shifts and their implications.
  • Explore the historical context and accuracy of the Mayan calendar.
  • Investigate the effects of previous solar polar shifts on Earth and its technology.
  • Learn how to evaluate the credibility of online sources regarding astronomical events.
USEFUL FOR

Astronomers, historians, and anyone interested in the implications of solar activity and the myths surrounding the Mayan calendar's predictions for 2012.

Ok, these are the general facts...

- NASA states that the sun has gone through a polar shift on the year 2001 and will go through another one on 2012.

- For people who don't know, the Mayans had the most precise calendar of their time. The calendar states that the world will end on the December of 2012 so their calendar goes no further then 2012. For further detail on this, visit this page:

- The sun had already went through a polar shift 6 years ago and it caused no damage. I've done some research on this and it all states either that the effects are unknown or it has no effect at all (on the star or its planets). Now, I'm just curious as to how destructive it can really be. I'm guessing that the polar shift happening on 2012 (if it actually occurs) is just a coincidence and it'll pass by just like any other year. But if it can/does do some damage, how destructive can it be?

My research hasn't led up to anything... interesting. (explosions, technological devastations, chaos... etc.) :zzz: Can someone tell me if they find anything interesting?

Just a little warning: if you want to research further on this subject, be careful, there are some very bogus websites that states ideas with absolutely no proof behind them.

The calendar ends in 2012, not the world. This is crap and we don't discuss crap here. It is a waste of our time and yours.

But if you really have to have it, www.badastronomy.com specializes in this sort of thing.
