End Is Nigh?

" Okay who's gonna have nightmares if I'd ever seen from the upcoming flick 32 do not laugh because a lot of folks out there. They're taking the premise of this movie very seriously even quitting their jobs because they say what's the point. Even one Home Depot employee has set -- website from must have for vital tools. All 'cause folks believe the end of the world is gonna come beginning in December. Three years from now. The starting point for all of this is an ancient Mayan calendar. So who better to bring in now the doctor and -- my -- was the director of the mine exploration center doctor -- com and that thanks for joining us this morning. Thanks for having me okay can he get a little bit of background about where this is coming from and why December 20 tell twelve is supposedly according to the -- the end of life as we know it."

" Well that's probably good place to start first off. This is really idea that's coming out of the western world of the thousands of ancient -- text we have. None of them say that this is going to be the end of the world this is an important. Anniversary in their calendar button though text tells us that they think it's the end of the world."

" What I started a grueling and trying to find out about this and there -- a lot of people who have very in depth of web sites about. Linking the 26000 year cycle of this did that in where the Mayan calendar ends in do we kind of fall off the end of they -- edges. The universe what we -- when he twelve. Where people getting this wrong."

" Well 26000 years is the time that it takes for the Starr -- per assess the full circle of 360. Degrees. One degree for every 72 years at the backdrop of the stars moving. As our earth wobbles and looks out into space. So this one increment to the calendar if we have it right. Is 5126. Years which is roughly 15 of that cycle so people think that the my AOR. Predicting. The procession of the equinox now what that have to do with the end of the world. I'm not sure."

" I look interesting to note that NASA says in 32 we could have. Increased solar flares and sunspots and things that could mash up satellites and some electronics. It and that kind of things start happening do you think folks are gonna read a little bit too much into it into when he twelve."

" Well certainly a lot of people will think that at some sort of testimony to the end of the my calendar but. I think when that's -- those things NASA our government advocated scientists who are mandated to talk about worst case scenarios. However. Statistically unlikely they might be. So we've got a hole Sunday yes could have a solar flare coming off of anywhere it's fear. The statistical probability that it would actually -- off in just the right place to hit the earth. Is remote. Add to that the fact that it's not gonna caucus. It's about solar radiation that yes would really disturbed. Our satellite communications and this might be. And apocalypse for teenage girls who can't post a FaceBook anymore but it's really not gonna destroy humankind."

" All right you you mentioned technology -- we're getting word that there's actually now an iPhone. Apple apparently they did you look countdown -- wake up every -- turn -- find out how many days you have left. Apparently you can do that with an -- Now we talked about people who are quitting their jobs. Building survivalists that loads any -- one sentence so warning you would give them about going too far with that."

" Well I'd say if if you wanna take it is my wisdom. When we look at what the -- that these important cycles that are reach 400 year increments I'd say that the -- work. Waiting around to be enlightened and they weren't. Fearing the end of the world but they. Took it as a time to take it upon themselves to change their lives and changed the way they saw these times is the time to. Change old ways and begin new ones I always get advice doctor Barbara thank you for talking off the cliff thank you --"
