Dec 21, 2012… What will happen? Is anything going to happen and this world is going to end? Well… It’s kind of scary no matter it’s true or not. Maybe the most scary thing is we could not watch movies any more!!! Anyway, these days 2012 became a quite popular subject (it’s almost here), so I had a look at what it is all about.

According to many ancient prediction such as from Mayan calendar and I Ching as well as modern technology called web-bot, this world will end at Dec 21, 2012. What a scary!! Me as a normal person cannot predict anything about that time and do anything about it. I do not believe this (actually I don’t want to believe it!), but we could think of what could cause this tragic disaster. First of all, let’s have a watch if it’s possible that this world meets the DOOMDAY!

Okay… So what could canuse the doomday? I could think of 5 reasons, Global Warming, World War 3, Asteroid hitting Earth, New Virus and maybe Alien (?).

#1. Global Warming

Actually, now the global warming is quite serious problem and a lof of scientists are warning about this. Several days ago, I had a read a news article (I guess most of people are aware of this) and the kilimanjaro’s ice field is melting away. (National Geographic, ScienceDaily) In fact, many scientists say Kilimanjaro is not a victim of climate change. (The Seattle Times, SkepticalScience.) Besides that, we can see many wierd climate changes. It’s true that we should be warned and do something for the global warming problem.

#2 World War 3

I remember what Albert Einstein said. “I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones.” Today the world is quite conflict and I feel I’m living in the quite dangerous world. In the world, there’s always warning of war and terrorism. I’m not sure where this all conflication started from, maybe it’s like the question, “Which came first, chicken or the egg?” The war is showing human’s brutality and heartlessness. I hope the world becomes peaceful and everyone lives happily. Let’s have a watch the possiblity of the World War 3 and how much the war could be crucial.

#3 Asteroid hitting Earth

This fact is quite difficult avoid once it is going to happen. The possibility to lead us to doomday would be quite low but once it is confirmed that an asteroid is going hit the Earth, then well… it could end up the world. Several days ago, an width of football size asteroid swung by Earth. Did you know that? Some years ago, a lot of astronomers said there’s a high possibility of that asteroid is going to hit the earth. Fortunately, nothing happend but it was quite close. (Demonton Sun). One of the theories which explaines of Dinosaur Extinction could hit us. (ScienceDaily)

#4 New Virus

In 1346, Europe was suffering from the spread of plague and the populations were on the wane dramatically (GlobalSecurity). Recently, several years ago, SARS hit the world and we feared about the new virus outbreak. (NewScientist) The side effect of the uncontrolled and abused science would bring us a seriously dangerous new virus and we will suffering by the virus and fear again.

#5 Alien and UFO

Well… It’s not quite possibly happening, but who knows. In this endlessly vast universe, there could possibly be another existence with highly developed technology. Through the world history, the existence of alien and UFO has been always interesting topics. Recently UFO appeared on the Texas sky and lots of witness describe the UFO in quite details (Kiii TV3, 2). Even if it is said the UFO was F-16 fighters, it was another big issue like Roswell. There are a lot of movies about Alien and UFO like Signs, The Invasion and War of the Worlds and it seems human could not win in the war against the Alien. If the aliens are kind enough like E.T., it would be better though :-).

Overall

We had look at several possibilities that could take us to the doomday. Well it’s totally up to you believe or not, but there are several possible facts which could bring us tremendous impact in the future like Global Warming and World war. You should do something which we could do right now to avoid the tragic result.

Poll

Let’s assume we met the doomday and we must select only several people as our last human being to send out of the earth. Which person would be the most important to keep our human being in the spaceship out of the earth and come back to the earth later (maybe some thousands years later)? But don’t be serious this is just for fun
