Well, everyone is just making a big stink about the fact that the Mayans didn't have enough time to write their calendar forever(they were all killed by the Spaniards 400 years ago), and the calendar ends in 2012...
Well, if you think about it, this calendar had to end somewhere; the Maans were attacked by the Spaniards over 400 years ago. That's why the calendar ends so abruptly. But if someone knew how to write the Mayan Calendar, they could continue it like nothing had happened...
i dont think the world will end when we are a life, it is all rubbish about this balckhole thing and stuff
The "black hole thing" is something else entirely. The EU has built a 17 mile long particle collider in an attempt to find something called the Higgs Particle, which some say is responsible for the matter outweighing the antimatter in the Big Bang. Without this Higgs Particle, the Big Bang supposedly would just have been a big flash, not creating any matter at all...
Here's how this collider works: The EU scientists put free protons into this circle and use magnets to spin them in opposite directions in the circle. They are accelerated to almost the sped of light and then crashed together. The incredible amount of energy in such a small amount of space could rip the protons to shreds - and form the Higgs Particle. Because it's unstable, it will probably disintegrate in a couple millionths of a second.
Because this Higgs Particle is 100-200 times more massive than a proton, if it sticks around for longer than a few milliionths of a second, the protons could be attracted by the gravity of this Higgs Particle and form a Black Hole.
and sorry my last thing came out wrong dont think the world will end when we are a life, it is all rubbish about this balckhole thing and stuff i only wanted to that i dont think the world will end in your life time, sorry i got a bit carried away
Well, people just want something weird or bizzare to talk about, so they find some weird fact and link it to something completely irrelevant. It makes for good conversation though, and that's why people do it. I.e.
Did you know that a study last year proved a definite correlation between ice cream sales and deaths by drowning?! That's right people, stop buying ice cream or risk drowning!!
I think most of us realize why that is silly, even if it is true, but for those of you that haven't figured it out yet:
Ice cream sales go up in the summer because it's hot. People go swimming more in the summer because it's hot. More people drown because of more people swimming.
Dumb statistic, people still want to talk about that kind of stuff. This won't be the last time you hear about the world ending. Like in 2000 where everyone bought generators because the computers weren't programmed to go past the year 2000, and the power plants would shut down and we will all die. Same stuff.
Well, if you think about it, this calendar had to end somewhere; the Maans were attacked by the Spaniards over 400 years ago. That's why the calendar ends so abruptly.
Actually, the Mayans were the culture that mysteriously disappeared. All that was left were a few "survivors" per se, and the temples. It was the Aztecs that were wiped out by Cortez.
