http://www.funadvice.com/my/advice/voices en-us The 2012 fanatics are out in force. I don't believe 99% of it; however, a digging through NASA.GOV was very scary. Do a search of 2012 on Nasa's site. The following will for sure occur in 2012 per NASA. The full affect is not known. Jupiter will opposition Venus will transition the Sun Eros will do a flyby Ciris will do a flyby (maybe misspelled) The Suns magnetic poles will reverse (started already) The worst Solar Storms ever. Solar Flares. And Apophus 99942 will do a flyby. The strange thing is that NASA talks about all of these separately and don't mention what the affects of all of these happening at the same time would be. Nasa speaks of Asteroid 99942 coming close enough in 2029 for Earth's gravity to tug on it causing it to impact in 2036. However, they do not mention the 2012 flyby except to say they can get a better look at it and can make more predictions at that time. They don't mention what the effects of all these celestial bodies will have on Apophus. They mention how the sun will affect it and cause it to spin, but they don't say what the Solar storms affect on it will be. Either way all of the celestial bodies intersecting at the same time will have gravitational affect on the weather and the tides. A post from someone stated gravity will not affect us, not true. The tides are affected by the moons gravity. Venus will transition between the sun and the Earth, this gravity will affect us. Eros and Ciris may not be big enough for their gravity to affect us, but will the gravity of Jupiter and Venus passing their closest to us rip them apart and shower debris on the Earth? Very possible. Asteroid 99942 will pass below the satellite orbit, not until 2029 by NASA's account. But will these celestial alignments break it up, or pull it towards us, or the moon. The solar storms will knock out satellites and computers globally. Will the power stay on? Will the fire control computers still work? These events could have a very dramatic impact on our ecosystem. It would be very hard to prepare yourself for such a global disruption. As for planet X, I have found nothing on NASA's site about Planet X. This is supposed to be a Brown Dwarf Star (why you can't see it clearly) that is on an elliptical orbit around our solar system and does a flyby every so often and destroys life on Earth. There is nothing to substantiate this and could just be a guy trying to sell a book, title Planet X. His publishing company did a video to scare people into buying the book. Nasa did however, place an Infrared Satellite (would be needed to see the brown dwarf) into orbit and is scanning our solar system with it. voices Tue, 11 Dec 2007 06:03:33 -0800 http://www.funadvice.com/q/when_and_how_will_the_world_end 157225 The 2012 fanatics are out in force.

I didn't buy it, until I started checking out Nasa's Website. The number of near earth objects is scary. It's funny to me how NASA keeps talking about Asteroid 99942 in 2029 and the way Earth's gravity will tug on it possibly sending it into the Earth in 2036. Yet they don't mention it's flyby in 2012 except to say that they'll get a better look at it and can do better predictions at that time. Check all this out on NASA.GOV. Search for 2012 on Nasa's site. Jupiter will Opposition Venus will Transition the Sun Eros will flyby Cirris will flyby (may be misspelled) Two Solor Eclipses The Sun will change its polarity Sunspots will be the worst ever And Apophus 99942 will do its flyby What affect will all this have on Asteroid 99942? Nasa mentions the way 99942 will be affected by the heat from the sun in 2029, but they don't talk about the 2012 effect on it. The sheer number of celestial bodies passing this close to Earth will cause gravitational pulls that will affect weather and tides. The onslaught of solar radiation will affect sattelites and computers worldwide. Will the power companies computer stay running? The Police and Fire computers? The implications of this are numerous. It doesn't seem like you could prepare for such a global climate disruption of this scale. I hate to be the bearer of such bad news. I could not find anything on NAsa about Planet X. This is supposedly a Brown Dwarf Star (why you can't see it as clearly) and it is supposedly on an eliptical orbit with the Earth and does a flyby every so often destroying life on Earth. Nothing to substantiate this claim. Might just be a guy trying to sell a book, title Planet X. His publishing company did a video to scare people and sell the book. Nasa has put up infrared sattelites (better to see it with) and has been scanning our galaxy, but nothing listed yet. voices Tue, 11 Dec 2007 06:01:46 -0800 http://www.funadvice.com/q/apocolyspe_in_2012 157223
