MAYANS PREDICTION OF END OF THE WORLD IN 2012

Mayans lived in Mexico of South America in the 7 th. century. The end of their civilisation is not known to history as on today. In those days they were experts in Astronomy. They developed their own calanders. The date of their calanders ends on
21-12-2012. Acording to Mayan prophet Pacal Voltan, the noon day sun on 21-12-2012 will exactly conjunct the crossing point of the Sun's ecliptic with the galactic equator, while also closely conjuncting the exact center of galaxy, resulting in biospheric destruction. Some called this as the end of the world. There are about 175books and a cinema on this phenomenon.
Due to some religious faith many are supporting this theory. According to them the Sun is close to the center of galaxy (Milkyway) and also passes through the dark rift of the galaxy. There is enormous nuclear action at the center of galaxy and the dark rift consists of interstellar dust that runs along the Milkyway from the galactic center.
The scientists of N A S A are not accepting this theory. It is the distance of the Sun from the centre of the galaxy, that is important to be considered, irrespective of the fact that the Earth , Sun and the galactic center are in line. The distance of the Sun from the galactic center is about 25000 light years. (One light year is the distance travelled by light in one year at the rate of 300000 K.M. per second). Sun is very far away from the center of galaxy and will not be affected by the neuclear reactions at the center or by the dark rift. The last time when the Earth was in the galactic plane was about 65 million years ago. The end of Dinosaurs is also estimated to be about 65 million years ago. But the end of Dinosaurs may not be due to the presence of earth in the Galactic plane. The impact of an astoroid is the most popular theory. The Sun takes about 225 million years for its revolution around the center of Milkyway. That means it will cross plane of Milkyway after 47.5 million years from now onwards. Considering an orb of influence, any evil effect on the Sun and the Earth may take place if any, only after 40 million years (400 lakhs of years). The statement that we are about to cross the galactic plane is untrue. Any damage to Earth or the end of the world is totally ruled out by the scientists of NASA.
According to them the only threats are global warming, loss of biological diversity, and perhaps collision from an asteroid or commet in the long future. Space guard survey is taken up by NASA astronomers to find any asteroid long before hitting the Earth. There are no such threats in near future. In case no such calamity occurs, the ultimate end of life on Earth occurs only when the life of Sun ends after 5000 million years from now
IN SHORT THE END OF THE WORLD WILL NOT OCCUR ON 21-12-2012 AS PREDICTED AND SUPPORTED BY MANY.
There are some who are spreading rumours of the end of the world on 21-12-2012, in the light of some writings by Mayans, Nostradamus and Bramham.
Even the Mayans did not predict the end of the world on 21-12-2012. They only prepared their calander upto 21-12-2012. This does not mean that they prepared their calanders upto the end of the world. They only predicted some biospheric destruction but not the end of the world. This is exagerated by many.
Nostradamus never predicted about the end of the world on 21-12-2012. In his letter addressed to his son Ceasar Nostradamus, he mentioned that he gave prophesies up to the year beyond 3000. Where is the question of the end in 2012. Bramham never predicted the end of the world in 2012. He mentioned that water level will touch the nose of a diety on the hill top at Vijayawada. Many reasons and many alternatives are possible for this. EVERYTHING IS MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING.
THE END OF THE WORLD ON 21-12-2012 AS A WHOLE MAY BE IGNORED AS IT IS PURELY IMAGINARY AND IS UNSCIENTIFIC.

THE MEANING OF TIME

TIME started with the creation of the universe about 15000 million years ago. Prior to that, time did not exist.
According to the latest theory of creation, the universe was formed as a result of a BIG BANG ( a gigantic explosion) about 15000 million years ago. In this explosion matter, energy space and time were created. Due to this Big Bang the universe is expanding. Due to expansion universe cooled down from the original heat of explosion
and the hydrogen atoms were formed in dense clouds. Nebulae, galaxies and stars were formed. A nebula consists of gas (hydrogen) and dust. When nebula contracts, galaxies with stars in them are formed. There are about 100000 galaxies in the universe. The galaxy we live in is called Milkyway. There are about 100000 stars in our galaxy. The Sun is only an average star. There are stars so big in size,so that the entire solar system including planets come within the diameter of the star. The star ANTARES is one like that.
Sun has 9 planets circling it including pluto. (Pluto is likely to be eliminated as a planet).There is life on the third planet i.e. EARTH revolving around the Sun.
The terrestrial time measure is based on the revolution and rotation of Earth . The time of one rotation of earth around its axis is taken as one day and its revolution around the Sun, which covers about 365 rotations is taken as one year ( about 365 days).This is a terrestrial measure of time.
According to latest discoveries there are planets circling some stars and there is likelihood of life in those planets also.If so their measurement of time depending on the rotation and revolution of the planet around its star should be different. It has to be converted into terrestrial measure of time suitably.#f26522
Just as length width height(depth) are dimensions, time is also a dimention. All these dimensions were formed with the creation of the Universe. Nobody knows the life of the universe. Some stars are still under formation only. Some stars alresdy died. When the Universe collapses time also disappears.

ENCYCLOPEDIA

THE UNIVERSE AND THE LIFE OF SUN

Science is a metnod of knowlwdge. Depending on the available events we have to form a theory to explain the same . Accordingly, Newton's law of gravitation came. Latter as a further improvement Einsteins theory of relativity came. At the time of Newton time is different from space which consists of three dimensions. But according to Einsteins time cannot be seperated from space. Time is the fourth dimension.
Several theories were put forward regarding the creation of the Universe. The BIG BANG theory is the most popular theory among the scientists on the creation of the universe.
The Sun is only a tiny speck in this boundless and ever expanding universe. It is created in the galaxy ,known as Milkyway. The Galaxy Milkyway contains about 100,000 million stars. It is shaped like a disc with a bulge in the middle. The stars on this disc lie on arms that curve out from the central bulge. It is a spiral galaxy.The whole galaxy rotates. The diameter of our galaxy, milkyway is about 100,000 light-years.( A light-year is the distance travelled by light in one year, at the speed of 300,000 kilometers per second). The Sun is about 25000 light years from the centre of Milkyway. The Sun revolves around the center of galaxy in about 225 million years.
There are many galaxies in the universe. Some are spiral in shape (just like ours), some are round or oval in shape and are called as ellipticals and others are irregular galaxies. The nearest galaxies to our own galaxy are called Magellanic clouds. They are irregular Galaxies. Andromeda Galaxy is one of the few galaxies we can see with naked eye, even though it lies over 2,000,000 light years away. It is a spiral galaxy just like our galaxy but is bigger.
Astronomers think that the Universe was formed about 15000 million years ago resulting from BIG BANG. At present it is an expanding universe. Nobody knows what will happen to the universe in the far distant future. It may contract again or may continue expanding.
The Sun is formed about 5000 million years ago. It will start dying after the entire Hydrogen in it is converted as Helium. Four Hydrogen atoms combine together to form one Helium atom, resulting in light and heat etc. This process is likely to continue for another 5000 million years more. Then it swells up into a red giant 20 to 30 times larger. It slowly shrinks puffing off rings of gas and finally becomes a dense white dwarf.
Sun is an average star. A middle weight star, which has mass more than Sun, at the end of its life collapses to form tiny neutron star. A heavy weight star which may be about 10 times the mass of Sun explodes as a supernova and collapses into a black whole, a region of enormous gravity.
