Sun's Polar Shift on 2012 coincidence?

AI Thread Summary
NASA has confirmed that the sun experienced a polar shift in 2001 and is expected to undergo another in 2012. The Mayan calendar, known for its precision, predicts the world will end in December 2012, but this is interpreted as the calendar simply not extending beyond that date. Previous polar shifts have not caused any significant damage, and current research suggests that the effects of such shifts are largely unknown or negligible. The discussion raises questions about the potential destructiveness of the upcoming shift but leans towards the belief that it may be a coincidence without severe consequences. Caution is advised when researching this topic due to the prevalence of unreliable information online.

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.

Publication: Redox-driven mineral and organic associations in Jezero Crater, Mars Article: NASA Says Mars Rover Discovered Potential Biosignature Last Year Press conference The ~100 authors don't find a good way this could have formed without life, but also can't rule it out. Now that they have shared their findings with the larger community someone else might find an explanation - or maybe it was actually made by life.
Today at about 4:30 am I saw the conjunction of Venus and Jupiter, where they were about the width of the full moon, or one half degree apart. Did anyone else see it? Edit: The moon is 2,200 miles in diameter and at a distance of 240,000 miles. Thereby it subtends an angle in radians of 2,200/240,000=.01 (approximately). With pi radians being 180 degrees, one radian is 57.3 degrees, so that .01 radians is about .50 degrees (angle subtended by the moon). (.57 to be more exact, but with...
