2012: Earth Changes And Other Theories

By Jean Hantch

2012 is fast approaching and all the time more people are beginning to believe that something big will occur. There are the doomsday thinkers who say that it will be the end of the world, and there are those that believe 2012 will be the dawn of a new age of enlightenment. The amount of theories that are floating around get added to on an almost weekly basis. Some of the most common suggestions for 2012: earth changes, solar storms, galactic alignment, arrival of ET life forms, Planet x, as well as the end of the Earth.

1. Earth Changes: It is often talked about that in 2012 the Earth will undergo massive planetary changes. The most common put forward theory is that the will be a form of polar shift. This occurs when the magnetic North Pole and magnetic South Pole completely change positions.

There are scientists who say our planet had a pole shift event approximately 780, 000 years before. If this was to happen again then the results would be devastating on a massive scale. There would be the biggest ever earthquakes experienced by man, mega tsunamis, and the eruption of super volcanoes that would create nuclear winters.

2. Galactic Alignment: It is well known that all heavenly bodies are cyclical. Here on Earth we have the solstices twice a year and also the equinoxes that bifurcate them. These are all times that are relative to the position of our planet to the sun. Our solar system also has cycles as we transit through the universe.

It has been said that during 2012, on the winter solstice in the Northern Hemisphere, the solar system is going to be aligned at the centre of the galaxy in an equinox position. This cycle has been exactly calculated at 25, 800 years. We can only speculate on what will happen when our planet is aligned in such a manner. It is often quoted that the ancient Mayan people developed their long count calendar in relation to the Galactic equinox.

3. Giant Solar Storms: Every scientist will tell you that our Sun is an incredibly active and evolving star. It regularly releases solar flares that cause disruption through electro magnetic fields here on earth. NASA has acknowledged that sometime around 2012 there will be a massive solar maximum event that may stop all satellites from functioning as well as complete disruption to our electronic telecommunications and power grids.

4. Planet X: A lot of the talk surrounding what will happen in 2012 involves the mythical Planet X or as some people call it, Niburu. This is supposedly a planet or brown dwarf (star) that is on a massive elliptical orbit in our solar system. It is believed that it is only visible from earth around every 6, 000 years. Believers in planet X point to ancient Sumerian texts and other forms of evidence to back up this theory. If such a large body was to come close to our planet then the consequences are beyond imagination.

5. Arrival of Extra Terrestrial life forms: This theory suggests that in 2012 we shall be visited by life forms that are not from the earth. Actual evidence for this concept is purely based on speculation.
