Mayan Apocalypse Technical Analysis
If the Mayans are correct, the world has just over a week before it goes poof. But, the hard-core chartists will say, is there any technical analysis suggestion they may be right? Let's take a look: the chart below shows all the 450 MunichRe-documented natural disasters that have taken place in the first half of the year, running at at annualized pace of a near record-setting 900 in 2012 alone. Is this enough to set off the most terminal selling event in the history of the world in 8 short days? You decide.

I think that the Mayans' "end-of-the-world" theory was sneakily given huge exposure by theBernank to lure the bears into yet another false sense of security that "surely this time we just can't have another Santa-Claus rally".
And yet we had it again in 2012. Someone once said "wash rince & repeat..."
This Earth stuff is interesting, no doubt. But we should really be looking at the SUN'S ACTIVITY!!!!

most have badly misinterpreted what the Mayans predicted. They were master astronomers, with a deep understanding of long term movements in galaxy... they predicted a period of great upheaval... this vid does a good job of summarizing the electromagnetic changes occuring in the solor system in recent years, most likely what the Mayans had predicted:
http://youtu.be/bEo3PBaVha8
with one other twist... a recently uncovered monument also suggested something of a supernatural twist.... regarding the possibility of a god, or competing "gods" being reborn around December 21, 2012
http://2012world-ends.com/articles/prophecies/THE-TORTUGUERO-PROPHECY.php
Will these gods have their own immortality show?
If they have, it would just be like you and/or me; since we are 'created' equal.
But then, didn't they do human sacrifices, cut their throats and then kicked their bodies down the steps?
Nasty.
I think a good prank on 12/21/12 would be if Gene Munster downgraded AAPL to "Sell"
I certainly hope and pray the Mayans were wrong, but I will say, as I've been recently been vlogging about, the long-term Elliott Wave pattern and crisis in Syria are conducive to an apocalyptic war in the immediate future.
Here are my reports:

If I remember what I have read about that calendar, the calendar ends. It has no predictions on it at all. Our calendars are printed so it's easy to keep making another one. Not so easy to chisel stone. If Bernank had to chisel money out of stone there would be much less of it and the world wouldn't end if he stopped chiseling.
most have misinterpreted...
Naturally, you decoded it correctly, right? Or your you tube link explains the truth?
And I leave you with this, the last "god" named Cortez that they managed to not predict kicked their whole fucking civilization in the ass and that's why we have archaeologists interpreting this shit graphetti of theirs, instead of their ambassador to the UN doing it live.
The "end of the world" is the "end of the world" !
What good is sitting on a lot of money? However,
If it ISN'T the END OF THE WORLD, your investment strategy should reflect THAT.
So much inaccuracy there. The Mayan civilization collapsed (90% population loss) between 900 and 1200 AD, i.e. 300+ years before Cortez. That is when they lost the educated class of elites (i.e. they "hung the bankers" and went back to anarcho-primitivism).
The Mexico City Aztecs were having a ritualistic holocaust of the surrounding city-states. Since A) Cortez fulfilled the prophecy of the return of a god by coincidentally arriving at the exact right date and b) the people were sick of being enslaved to people that enjoyed ritualistic human sacrifice of other people's children, they joined Cortez in toppling the empire.
As far as I know, the Mayan Elders that are alive today have their knowledge passed down via aural tradition, i.e. they have been playing "telephone" for the last 800 years. The Mayan writings were deciphered by a Russian Soldier who saved a copy of a rare book containing their writings from a burning library in Berlin during the Soviet advance.
My only problem with the "Mayans were master astronomers, with a deep understanding of long-term movements in the galaxy (!)" theory - and it's a really cool theory, much better than the tired old 'Rothschilds control the entire world' jive - the 'master astronomer/deep understanding' theory would by definition mean the Mayans weren't just regular ordinary guys. No, to rack up that kind of knowledge and insight, they'd have had to be a race of Will Huntings: Super-Geniuses of the Jungle.
Yet they still somehow managed to fail to "predict" the drought/war/peasanr uprising/whatever the hell it was that destroyed their civilization.
It's the same problem the "UFO crashed at Roswell!" crew have to contend with. On the one hand, you're telling us they're highly-intelligent beings capable of interstellar travel - which means faster-than-light speed - who have tractor beams, and thought rays, and anal probes that we can only *dream* of. OTOH, the story is once they got here, they......had a flat tire? Blew a radiator hose? Hit a bad pothole and crashed?? Srsly?
>>>the 'master astronomer/deep understanding' theory would by definition mean the Mayans weren't just regular ordinary guys. No, to rack up that kind of knowledge and insight, they'd have had to be a race of Will Huntings: Super-Geniuses of the Jungle.<<<
Naw, I don't think so. They had lots of time on their hands. The night sky was the best show in town and vastly clearer and deeper than what we can see now.
They had good powers of observation and not much else on which to focus.
>>>Yet they still somehow managed to fail to "predict" the drought/war/peasanr uprising/whatever the hell it was that destroyed their civilization.<<<
Observing and predicting stellar movements is one thing...predicting drought is quite another.
Our own modern day "weathermen" get it wrong and they have sophisticated equipment.
Its amazing how people
1) under estimate human ingenuity and intelligence;
while simultaneously
2) Ascribe "super natural" abilities to people with skills that are beyond their grasp...
It has be some variation of the D-K effect;
Imagine if 20% of GDP and 5% of our population was dedicated to astronomy. For several hundred years.
If you want to get into the more fringe ideas, there is evidence (some actual skulls, will have to look for sources) that show that mesoamerican elites understood that the human brain was the key, and that having your skull fuse together is what limits your intelligence. Solution? strap boards onto babies' heads to make their brains grow longer, prevent fusing, so the brain can become larger. They could have been manufacturing a whole sub-class of Stephen Hawkings.
Predicting a massive drought, and coming up with an actionable solution, are two different things. Same with population control. You can dish out as much propaganda as you want, but when it comes down to it, having a minority 5% of the population be able to go door to door and sterilize people or abort their babies is much harder than it seems on paper.
Back to the fringe, there is some suggestion that they did exactly that; the Mayan Elites may have predicted the drought and famine, and bugged out to Peru. The Incans may have been the descendants of the Mayan Elites, and took their knowledge with them, leaving the poor uneducated masses behind to fend for themselves.
Hey FT,
Great story re: the Russian. He certainly contributed but he did not decode it.... A 13-yo kid whose parents were archeologists was instrumental in the final decoding...
Check out the PBS/Nova on Cracking the Mayan Code...
I caught that on Netflix (bullish plug). And that chick was the real driving force to start it all
IIRC, the kid went on to win a MacArthur....

Has anyone noticed a wave of IRA or 401k liquidations for end-of-the-world conspicuous consumption?
Perhaps for some PM purchases...otherwise nothing to see here.
No, I have not noticed that. Please point us to where you are noticing that.
fonz, could part of it be showing up on ebay, were bids are plentiful and the 40.00 oz is very consistent?...
and if i may add a newcomer to the fuck you list...this would be another glorified welfare queen....elan musk....
give me unlimited money with no regard of paying it back and i too could invent something the world will never use....
so without further ado.....fuck you elan musk...
Sorry, forgot the: /sarc
shorted, i am hoping iras and such are being cashed in or out..(and ever since i liquidated and payed the penalties i sleep better) if so, i would think pm purchases will be a part of this for some...i ignored the end of the world part...so your comment was at best..."new and improved with 40% less sarc"...
and if anyone is considering this move and yes it takes some time to consider, ....do it...you will never regret it...i also think if you dont do it this year '12 you will have regrets....take a portion and see how that feels...than come back for the rest....
how about up votes for cashing out
down votes for staying in the current retirement system
After being so advised by some of the sages here on ZH, I cashed out 32% of my IRA and converted 1/2 to PMs and paid off my HELOC with the other 1/2. I do feel good about it.
About the remaining 68% of my IRA, I am not sure what to do. I didn't want to put everything into PMs and have all of the proverbial eggs in one basket, but I couldn't just leave the IRA remain as it was for the same reason (plus the Cliff, new taxes, Obummer, etc.).
I'm leery of cashing any more out than the 32% I've taken already, as the IRA was inherited and I can't add anything back to it. Then again, I could always start a new one, too, and hold some more cash back.
December is passing, and my time is running out. What should I do?
Thanks for any advice...
lin s, they have taken the menu of choices (by design) away from the regular guy....as a person that has never minded a risk/reward atmosphere, i currently own. (own meaning no debt, but the state will always have their hand in my real estate pocket) rental property, residential property and pms. at this time. looking down the road i dont feel anywhere secure in owning real estate now...as our baltimore county exec. has decided to borrow money from the usual, to fix the pension fund (that should work) and selling prime properties to put a/c in schools....between the gauranteed further decline in pricing along with real estate taxes, were they will come looking to fix their problems, no thanks....we are currently making plans to sell our residential property converting most of the proceeds to more pms and cash....than moving to the most accommidating state than rent. ....i take no pleasure in this, but it must be done...so i guess my advice is obvious...take the last 68% and put it under your control with pms....than when and if this storm passes and the game becomes more legitimate, you can re-adjust your thinking to match the financial enviroment.....good luck
MF Global was the tipping point for me, the shot over the bow that personal accounts may no longer be subject to the rule of law.
I liquidated some accounts and paid off debt to the point that my total debt is now only 4% of net worth.
I hold title to my house and vehicles. I'm especially glad to be rid of non-dischargeable student loans.
The next step is building up PM and cash reserves to be able to maintain everything for an extended period of time.
Remember, new rules were put in place after the 2008 meltdown that limits account holders' rights to access money. These comments above are just a prudent response to the shift in power from individuals to financial institutions.
I still have a good chunk of assets in accounts. Let's not get too crazy and swing the pendulum too far the other way. Just be cautious, prepared, and conservative in response to the risk, leverage, and recklessness we see today at the institutional level.
Fiduciary responsibility has been driven down to the individual. Act accordingly.

Armageddon addahere
The last time I saw the end being near she turned around and slapped me!
The Mayans didn't have cans so they never understood the concept of kicking the can.
they used human heads instead.
They didn't have a fiat crisis, they had a prolonged severe drought crisis. It is much harder to create fresh water from nothing (or even from salt water), then to issue bonds and print money.

Sermon from Brother Maynard
Sour Grapes - Puscifer
And the angel of the lord led me
Into the belly of the holy mother
A chamber black as pitch
But I felt no fear, only comfort,
For I was as a child in the womb
And she begged me
"Peer through yonder portal
Which looked upon the heavens,
And behold! a morning angel"
[Hal-le-lu-jah!]
She ascended slowly from far beyond the horizon,
Her light like a heavenly finger pointing the way
And on yonder wall she traced for me a path
Which led me five directions, eight winters to east,
[Hal-le-lu-jah!]
And behold!
As my feet landed firmly
Upon the vital winter of the second score
There appeared before me a heavenly star
[Hal-le-lu-jah!]
A holy virgin, the bringer of life and breath
And she spoke unto me saying
"Fear not the movement of the heavens above or the earth below
For change is what we are, my child.
[Hal-le-lu-jah!]
Righteous are those
Who look up and sway with the wind,
Who look down and dance with the shifting of the soil,
Who swim with the movement of the tides
[Hal-le-lu-jah!]
Who seek the truth around them
And discover that we are
And have always been in paradise.
The reflections of heaven on earth. Amen!'
[Hal-le-lu-jah!]
And she spoke again saying
"Know, my child,
That there is no devil seeking
To corrupt the hearts of men.
[Hal-le-lu-jah!]
No evil, save blind faith, ignorance,
And the desire for the unprepared
To blame others for the devastation
Left in the wake of change
[Hal-le-lu-jah!]
Change, my child
Change is in the heavens
Change is on this earth
Change is all around us
[Hal-le-lu-jah!]
And we ARE reflections of the divine
We must roll with these changes,
For we are these changes.
[Hal-le-lu-jah!]
Eyes wide open,
We must look upon
The heavens as a mirror.
Wide awake, aware, deeply breathing
[Hal-le-lu-jah!]
And when the shit comes down, my child,
You will be there,
A true and holy survivor
To inherit the kingdom of god.
[Hal-le-lu-jah!]
You will rise above the grumbles of the unprepared
To greet the new day,
To drink from the sweet fruit of the vine,
The water of life, the blood of the risen Christ, my child.'
[Je-ho-vah! Yah-weh!]
'Go now, son,
Tell them all.
The ignorant, the blinded by dogma,
Blinded by faith, the doubters, the nay sayers.
[Je-ho-vah! Yah-weh!]
Tell them all, child,
They can not see
The kingdom of God,
They can not see paradise
Unfold before them
[Je-ho-vah! Yah-weh!]
They can not drink
From the chalice
Which holds the blood of Christ,
The water of life,
Until they get right with Jesus.
[Je-ho-vah! Yah-weh!]
Until they get right with Jesus.
It's always gonna be
Sour grapes with you, boy,
Until you get right with Jesus. Amen!
[Je-ho-vah! Yah-weh!]

I think the Mayans were off a few years....they are extinct.....
Yes, they are extinct, killed themselves off...I do not think the genital mutlilators had any special insight...
Exactly... if they were so freaking smart.... where are they?
This is Y2K on steroids... but just in case, I'm gonna wait to pay my credit card bill until January.
Heh!
and I didn´t have to pay $10,000 to upgrade my computer and software...this is a cheap Apocalypse
In the Yucatan, ignorant.
They were destroyed with the usual things.
Lies, rape, murder, disease.
@Chief KnocAHoma
Trust me, nothing will exceed Y2K for overpublicity.
It was a hell of a party.
Mayans = not extinct Quote from real Mayan elder regarding Dec 21st: Carlos tells us: "The economy now is a fiction. The first five-year stretch of transition from August 1987 to August 1992 was the beginning of the destruction of the material world. We have progressed ten years deeper into the transition phase by now, and many of the so-called sources of financial stability are in fact hollow. The banks are weak. This is a delicate moment for them. They could crash globally, if we don't pay attention. Now, people are paying attention."
They are even paying attention.
Dman those Mayans past and present.
The numerous TEOTWAWKI parties are interfering with Festivus Celebrations.
I don't know which parties to go to.
Sorry guys: not extinct, I'm married to one. Guatemala, Belize, Honduras, Yucatan.
The Mayans did not have a Bernak. He would have printed more Mayans.
I'm thinking that the Mayans actually did have a Bernank... Otherwise ~ How can you explain the mysterious disappearance of a great society?...
LOL!
The preponderance of evidence points to extended drought brought about by the minor hiccup of the MWP.... There is also evidence that they overshot the local carrying capacity...
No Central Banker needed....
Throwing the remains of their human sacrifices into their principal fresh water supply probably didn't help matters.
We still have human sacrifices today...where do those remains go?
If fresh bodies were thrown into cisterns, my bet is that it was the common people killing the Elites (in their case, the priests). Probably because the common people were the first ones to suffer in a famine, while the priests had all the food and water they could want.
That, and the common people were illiterate and uneducated. They would have less understanding of disease.
You may say the elites deserved it, but if the common people didn't breed exponentially, they wouldn't have been so overpopulated.
drought, pestilence and warfare. pretty much the same things we're facing today, except we have a global fiat ponzi on top of all of that.
They were Libya-erated.
Looks like Iceland is a great place to move to for more reasons than one.
Yes, like the unstable fault line and the lack of an evacuation plan to save 30000 people.

Iceland, Brazil, Greenland or Libya....those are the safe places. LOL (freeze, overpopulation, brotherhood)
I say, bring on the earthquake.

Enjoy your soylent Green. 90% crop failures in both countries and a ban on exports. Plus massive herd culling because there isn't enough food to feed the cattle, swine and poultry.
How in the hell can countries in middle and south Africa require food imports? That is fertile land with water...
Soil has to be cured and trained. Takes about a decade (if things go well) to get a field running regardless of fertilizers, chemical additives, fencing/wind proofing. There is rock, clay patches, sand. The soil isn't homogeneous, it has to be mixed and the chemical reaction takes many winters to allow the soil to achieve the right PH balance and aeration. Then there is water, and it has to come at the right times. Comes at the wrong time, mould settles in and destroys the crops.
That btw is what is happening everywhere. Seasons are really fucked up. Otherwise the land is fertile, but it has not been prepped and needs treatment first.
What the true cause of the "lack" of land is subburbs where farming used to be. They traded food security for pretty McMansions and didn't replace the land they built on.
This year btw is the first year in the entire history of the USA and Canada that food will have to be imported. With everyone in the same boat. Well, 7.2 billion people and 10% of the gross yeild is the only thing available.
Go long 50 year storage on MRE's until we figure out what grows where again.
trending to demise of a civilaztion that was deemed great...
the planners ate each other(in the end)!
Um... not true. I do business with many farmers that are doing very well, and the US will be a net exporter again, as it is every year.
I also do business with a company that managed farms in Africa, until the governeny threw them out to allow locals to do the work. This was over a decade ago, and they were operating in some of those countries that are now importing. Not sure if they were importing prior to the government change, but I doubt it very much.
Agreed, In insurance payouts we are doing fine. It's the near complete crop failure in both north and south hemispheres.
With the secondary bread baskets that backup the food system in all countries being "offline" due to bad weather just like the northern counterpart.
And I hope you are right that the export levels come back. But right now, not being able to feed your own country is a bad place to be with a weak dollar. Amplifies direct consumer costs if your are running a trade deficit. Usually a good start to Argentinean type of hyperinflation.
Not to mention that exported food is going to a destination that acts as the manufacturing for 85% of all goods. Shirts, pants, socks, toilet paper, paper, staples, paper clips, etc. Kind of hard to keep it running if your labour starves to death. And that's if expecting people are going to take it lying down and not burn it all down before hand.
With genetically modified seeds from Monsanto ? Those lunatic-fringe seed savers may save the day. Precious Metals and Precious Seeds are our salvation. In fact all the seeds--intellectual,spirutual and the knowledge and wisdom --long larent must rise again . on a day like today we meed some hope despite the impending darkness. Zero Hedg re s will survive .
If you ever take a drive in the countryside in every ditch, patch of brush and uncut pasture you will always find the source seeds for barley, wheat, corn, onions, rye. These are wild plants, you can harvest them with little more than your hand and a sack to hold it in.
Most people though could identify a dandilion, maybe a fiddlehead, and little else if told to point out edible plants in a ditch and how to process it.
One thing I'm very fond of but it's season is too short is bullrush bread and it doesn't keep long. It's hard to describe as anything but satisfying and filling. Flour is ground from the cat-tail/bullrush tubers; sliced and dried then pounded to flour, mix with wild rye flour. Like potatoe bread but richer. My mum-in-law makes it for me because I keep her in laptops to break and grandkids.
If you are ever in the Ottawa Valley in Irioquois you'll find it fresh at the bakery in town (when available) and up the way in Lanark and Renfrew Townships the Scottish bakers make special scones in season as well if they can get the flour. Bring money, they are pricy.
There are lots of options to avoid GMO monster food, but most people's palettes are adjusted for processed fats, carbohydrates and sugar. Combined with a lack of knowledge on what food is and how to make it. What other options have they been given?
>>>If you ever take a drive in the countryside in every ditch, patch of brush and uncut pasture you will always find the source seeds for barley, wheat, corn, onions, rye.<<<
Not necessarily true.
Volkswagen built a factory on top of the plateau area outside of Mexico City which was the geographic "home" of the naturally occuring source seeds of the main variety of corn. It alarmed botanists world-wide when it happened.
>>>Corn as we know it today would not exist if it weren't for the humans that cultivated and developed it. It is a human invention, a plant that does not exist naturally in the wild. It can only survive if planted and protected by humans.
Scientists believe people living in central Mexico developed corn at least 7000 years ago. It was started from a wild grass called teosinte. Teosinte looked very different from our corn today. The kernels were small and were not placed close together like kernels on the husked ear of modern corn. Also known as maize Indians throughout North and South America, eventually depended upon this crop for much of their food.<<<
Areas like this are being destroyed all over the planet. Some of them are geographic specific for certain seeds and not in every ditch, patch of brush and uncut pasture.
The largest floods of the year were monetary ones caused by the big central banks...
Natural Catastrophes are nothing compared to the misery inflicted upon the world by joo bankers. The Mayans knew this.
:)) well, well , a few short days left ! So many things go wrong already ...

I hear there is a financial tsunami on the way. Selective hearing.
As long as you are on the Gold and Silver LifeBoat,you have nothing to worry about.
There must be some reason that in Georgia, about 50 miles east of Atlanta, there's hundreds of thousands of coffins sitting in a field.
No doubt it's a Civil War re-enactment of Sherman's March...
Gotta link?
Just google coffins in Georgia. Can't miss it.
huh?!
Who is prepping now?
The government is and has been preparing for something, perhaps many things, for decades. The very existence of FEMA and Department of Homeland Security suggests that they are planning for wide a variety of possibilities. To be clear, the fact that they are planning for something doesn’t necessarily mean that it will happen – just that it’s a possibility.
And how far “out there” is the US government when it comes to disaster planning and gaming emergency scenarios?
Consider an October 25, 2010 report from AOL News discussing the potential threat from an incoming asteroid. It may be the stuff of science fiction movies for most, but for White House Office of Science and Technology Policy director John Holdren it’s a possibility that cannot be ignored. In a series of letters to Congress Holdren outlines a plan for “protecting the United States from a near-Earth object that is expected to collide with Earth; and implementing a deflection campaign, in consultation with international bodies, should one be necessary.” The plan includes collaborative efforts between governments and militaries around the world in the event that NASA spots an incoming asteroid.

Those coffins are for fans of The Fighting Irish who actually believe they are ready to go toe to toe with the SEC.
There's nothing nefarious about the dome. The company does natural disaster recovery for banks.
The dome shape stands up to high winds...so if you are going to stage your equipment near where it might be needed - the Texas coast - it might be smart to house it in something that can stand up to a hurricane or tornado.
for crimeny freakin' stakes...
War and rough weather wish they could inflict as much misery and death as poverty and starvation does.
Except that the starvation comes from the rough weather and the war from the poverty.

"If the Mayans are correct, the world has just over a week before it goes poof"
That's not even true -- the Mayans, actual Mayans at least, are celebrating the turnover of a new calendar.
I think Tyler is a little upset initial claims numbers are down... if the economy were to start improving, ZH would lose almost all of its credibility. I can't be the only one that thinks Tyler is just grasping at straws with these posts, right?
"If the economy were to start improving' LMAO ain't gonna happen no mas factories for people to trabajo aqui,
aro1: I can't be the only one that thinks you're a troll.
So sick of this shit....absolutely nowhere did the Mayans ever say the world will cease to exist on any date.
Nice job, buzz kill. :-)
What are you talking about??? I just saw Barbara Walters interviewing the Mayan king and asking for his thoughts on Redneck Boo Boo and American Idol.

Anyway, NO kidding: the mother of all natural catastrophes is just around the corner, in case nothing else is happening on the 21th.
For all those wishing for a clean sheet, be careful what you are wishing for:

22nd should be a day for celebration: we do start a new, interesting cycle
Cheers !
You smell somethin'?
If the Clathrate Gun has been fired, that still doesn't mean it is manmade. Besides, spreading that kind of fear just encourages geoengineering, since that appears to be the only potential solution.
Lots of methane gas locked up in the tundra...which is melting by the way.
I know someone who worked on tundra research up in Alaska. He was happy to retire as it was making him almost too depressed to go on.
modern mathematical theory puts it at 10-15 years hence

Modern Mathematical theory?
Pray tell, what the fuck is that within this context?
It's kind of like new coke, only better.
obuma will declare,
on 12/21/12..the constitution null and void..executive orders will be the law of the land..why because we have a split congress and governing is not possible.
Casio calculators instead of abacuses
I get 'Err'. Is the answer 'Err'?
"Pray tell, what the fuck is that within this context?"
Ring #4 in this circus tent..
I lose my highspeed internet on 12/15/2012 due to an IRS ruling from D.C.. I guess it is better than having my heart ripped out and offered to pre-civilization central planner at Tikal.
You sure about that? When's the last time you surfed porn without high speed?
How did the Mayans know about anthro climate change?
(look at all those blue, orange, and green dots!)
The second I saw Honey moo moo on my T.V I new the Mayans were correct.

Actually, the world ends and begins anew with every passing moment!
Jack handy?
I met the Mayans in Belize. They drink Tecate during the day and sell trinkets to dumb fat tourists on the side of the road by monuments. The Mayans did not say the world would end in 8 days. It is the end of their long count calendar and the beginning of a new era that is supposed to see higher human awareness. If this is true you will see every banker and fuckhead evaporate in the streets. Should a Zombie Apocalypse ensue, I will have my Winchester 1300 equalizer clearing a path to the family farm where we could hold off for a good year. Anything longer than a year and we will consider the value of living in a post apocalyptic world. In all seriousness, I am more worried about a large scale grid failure. That we can definitely handle......average shitheads? They will eat each other alive. I saw it during Sandy.
The problems created by large scale gride failure are interesting.
I was watching the last season episode of Revolution with some teenagers who found it a fascinating distopian tale....until I explained that if all devices dependent on electricity failed to work what few survivors were left 15 years out would be dying soon due to radiation.
These kids didn't understand that you need electricity to run a nuke plant to keep everyting cool...and without it you get dead at some point due to ionizing radiation even if you are "far away."
We discussed the fantasy physics behind the "amulets" and they seemed fairly convinced that what happened in the TV show was likely not to happen...until I explained what a CME/Carrington event could do.
I think a couple of them lost some sleep over that.
Rationally, if you thought the end of the World was coming you would spend all the wealth you had, borrow as much as possible and commit as many financial frauds as possible and hence live a life of decadent excess knowing that you would never be prosecuted or ever pay anything back.
Oh hang on a minute .....
According to the mail online, the Large Halydron Collieder is having a bash at proton smashing on the 21st at 11.11am.
Its then shut down till 2017 for maintenance. These Swiss buggers could be what we are looking for folks.
As a practical matter, the Mayan "Great Cycle" was just one of a number of time measurments in their system. The longest of them is the Hablatun which equals about 1.26 billion years. But its fun to watch the lemmings run around with this one.
It's going to be funny to see all the stupid things people haave done when we wake up on Dec.22nd and nothing has happened.
Maybe I won't get to see 47, better have my party on the 21st instead.
Think of this tragic scenario....a large asteroid measuring a couple of 100 miles in dia, crashes into the moon at great speed. A few broken pieces, several miles wide come flying towards the earth....
"... running at at annualized pace of a near record-setting 900 in 2012 alone..."
Really?
If BLS were to spin data in that manner, we'd have a field day of incredulity and ridicule around here.
:-/
Yes its correct:The Mayans disappeared!
So, run to the bank,and lend a ton of money,Cayman style.
The world has gone under so manytimes,still,the sun is shinning.
Noa, where are you when needed,No, was it just a fairytale,and Jehovas,what have they go up their sleewe,now the Pope have learned to tweet!
Time, for one more cup of coffee,before i go,NUTS!
