Ends of the Earth

National Geographic explores two possible ways that the world could end. One scenario involves an ancient Mayan myth. The other possibility involves electromagnetic energy relied upon by modern society. Approached with a scientific eye, this is not merely conspiracy.
December 31, 2012: END OF THE EARTH
The Mayan prophecy believes that the world will end at the end of 2012. A young scientist travels the world – Indiana Jones style – to research the myth and try to explain the origin – or the end – of the legend.  Is there truth behind this terrifying prediction?

Electronic Armageddon
It may be the most powerful weapon not being discussed: a sudden burst of electromagnetic energy that destroys anything electric in a flash. It could come from nature, enemy nation – it doesn’t matter. The result is the same: an EMP may be imminent. Discover the science behind the headlines and the survival tips for such a situation.

    If you can understand how we can have enough knowledge and reasoning capability to pinpoint a geologic event 800 million years ago and why we then use those skills to investigate a prophecy created by a people who pulled the hearts out of human sacrifices so that their Gods would have enough blood to drink, then you are well on your way to understanding our species.

    The actually date is wrong as it doesn’t account for leap years, if this was true we’d already be dead.

      21-12-2012. is the day the Mayan calendar predicts the apocalypse. and that it is this day the sun and the planets are in line with the center of the Milky Way. and which is compatible with 21-12-2012
      that we have leap years in our calendar is not going to have anything to date to do as it’s all built on how the planets and the sun located in the universe. and not our calendar.

    This is not remotely science and does not belong in the science section. This isn’t even a documentary.

    I am so sick of this apocalyptic crap. I saw a poll that showed 44 percent of Americans believe the world will “definitely or probably” end in their lifetime (mostly for religious reasons.) How can we get anything done in the long term if nearly half this country don’t even believe there’s a long term to plan for?

    Maloof is full of crap. Pure speculation.

    Not very good for National Geographics.
