FYI its December 21, 2012, i know that for sure, i have heard its supposed to be exactly 11:11 AM GMT but not 100% sure if an exact time even makes sense.
for those who dont really know, it the end of the "fourth age" according to the Mayan Calander. The reason ppl think its gunna be the end of the world is that we have no record of the mayans writing about the 5th age. they simply stop the fourth of their calander age, and were all like WTF?
on 12/21/2012 sun will rise with the center of the universe, marking the entrance into the 5th age
BUT THE IMPORTANT PART is that were not supposed to all die in 2012, its supposed to be a major step tward enlightenment. what that difinitively means, i do not know, but i suspect we will slowly start to become more in touch with the universe. Also MJ is gunna come back and molest everyone.
