The idea started about a year ago that the world will end in 2012. My friends told me about this documentary called 'Decoding the past' that talked about how everything leads up to December 22nd 2012 and now a lot of movies are talking about fictitious ends and preventions. Even 2012 "the movie" is coming to say how some could survive this 'cataclysm'. I believe that the government is just psyching up the population, so that they are easier to control.
What makes 2012 your guess? Is it because that's what every conspiracy theorist says, and you just want to go along with the bandwagon? I've heard too many different theories about how "the world will end in 2012", and unless someone has actual proof of this, I refuse to believe any of it.
Now that, sir, is the worst of all of the theories of the world's end. No part of it is scientific or provable in any way. But, of course, that is a completely different discussion.
