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.

TL;DR Summary: In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation. In case of failure to detect alien signals, it will further expand the radius of the so-called silence (or rather, radio silence) of the Universe. Is there any sense in this or is blissful ignorance better? In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation.

Thread 'Could gamma-ray bursts have an intragalactic origin?'
This is indirectly evidenced by a map of the distribution of gamma-ray bursts in the night sky, made in the form of an elongated globe. And also the weakening of gamma radiation by the disk and the center of the Milky Way, which leads to anisotropy in the possibilities of observing gamma-ray bursts. My line of reasoning is as follows: 1. Gamma radiation should be absorbed to some extent by dust and other components of the interstellar medium. As a result, with an extragalactic origin, fewer...
