5 Reasons Why The World Will Not End In 2012!

Will the world end in 2012? Well let’s break down 5 possible reasons why 2012 will not be the end of the World as we know it. Hold on to your seats as you’re taken through a scientific journey into 2012.
Remember the Y2K scare? Everyone and their momma’s were bracing for a worldwide computer crash that could’ve set off nuclear missiles, ending life on earth, but nothing happened. Why? Because of adequate planning and analysis of the situation?
NASA scientists have studied Earth long enough to know this. The world will not end on Dec. 21, 2012 despite what the Mayan calendar shows us.
Here’s 5 reasons why:
1. Just like Y2K, 2012 has been analyzed as well and the science of the end of the Earth has been studied thoroughly. So when asked if the Mayan calendar is true, here’s what scientists at NASA have to say:
“Just as the calendar you have on your kitchen wall does not cease to exist after December 31, the Mayan calendar does not cease to exist on December 21, 2012. This date is the end of the Mayan long-count period but then, just as your calendar begins again on January 1, another long-count period begins for the Mayan calendar.”
2. When asked could some kind of phenomena occur where planets align in a way that could impact Earth, Nasa says no, not in the next few decades anyway.
“There are no planetary alignments in the next few decades, Earth will not cross the galactic plane in 2012, and even if these alignments were to occur, their effects on the Earth would be negligible. Each December the Earth and sun align with the approximate center of the Milky Way Galaxy but that is an annual event of no consequence.”
3. Will Planet X or Eris approach the Earth and threaten our planet with destruction?
“Nibiru and other stories about wayward planets are an Internet hoax. There is no factual basis for these claims. If Nibiru or Planet X were real and headed for an encounter with the Earth in 2012, astronomers would have been tracking it for at least the past decade, and it would be visible by now to the naked eye. Obviously, it does not exist. Eris is real, but it is a dwarf planet similar to Pluto that will remain in the outer solar system; the closest it can come to Earth is about 4 billion miles.”
4. When asked if the Earth is in danger of being hit by a meteor in 2012? It is unlikely.
“The Earth has always been subject to impacts by comets and asteroids, although big hits are very rare. The last big impact was 65 million years ago, and that led to the extinction of the dinosaurs. Today NASA astronomers are carrying out a survey called the Spaceguard Survey to find any large near-Earth asteroids long before they hit. We have already determined that there are no threatening asteroids as large as the one that killed the dinosaurs. All this work is done openly with the discoveries posted every day on the NASA NEO Program Office website, so you can see for yourself that nothing is predicted to hit in 2012.”
5. Is there a danger from giant solar storms predicted for 2012? Uhh uhh.
“Solar activity has a regular cycle, with peaks approximately every 11 years. Near these activity peaks, solar flares can cause some interruption of satellite communications, although engineers are learning how to build electronics that are protected against most solar storms. But there is no special risk associated with 2012. The next solar maximum will occur in the 2012-2014 time frame and is predicted to be an average solar cycle, no different than previous cycles throughout history.
Convinced yet?
NASA says, “Where is the science? Where is the evidence? There is none, and for all the fictional assertions, whether they are made in books, movies, documentaries or over the Internet, we cannot change that simple fact. There is no credible evidence for any of the assertions made in support of unusual events taking place in December 2012.”
There you have it. Five reasons why the world will not end in 2012!
Reflection Week 4 28/jan/11 (Week 6)
Camera shot for video production
THIS LECTURE IS ONE OF THE BEST LECTURE I HAVE EVER HAD *exaggerating for a bit* 😀
I have been exposed to various types of shots in this lecture, and i have come to like POV shot the most (though i am not a good photographer)
The question is, when will i OWN a SLR camera?? HAHHAHHAHA… NOT in the near future perhaps.. haishhh~~!
I’ll make the best of the digital camera i have to practice on the various shots learned in this lecture… as for the short video clip (SVC), i still have no idea on what to work on (thinking in progress)..
By the way, we have just started our tutorial yesterday (thursday, 27/01/11) with Dr. Norazah.. She has assigned us with a task –> CREATE a NEW blog.. The blog has to be ATTRACTIVE *as in to attract WORLDWIDE reader* HOW IN THE WORLD COULD I POSSIBLY DO THAT.. *”think positive DEAR,” consoling myself* HAISJ~~ Our tutorial group have thought of sharing one blog with many authors, but we have yet to have Dr. Norazah’s green light.. so, let us put that aside first and focus on the video clip..
wassalam..
Reflection week 3 21/jan/11 (week5)
ASSURE MODEL
Analyze learners
State objectives
Select instructional methods, media, and materials
Utilize media and materials
Require learner participation
Evaluate and revise
This week lecture was given by Mr. Khalid which happened to be his last week in UKM for he is leaving for US to further his study (sob. sob.sob) ANYWAY, ALL THE BEST SIR~~!!
I find ASSURE model is very helpful in aiding teaching for it makes learning much more interesting. However, in order to do that, WE as teachers have to be IT savvy (a term i have come to embrace)
As Mr. Khalid said “whatever material we have come up with, WE MUST UTILIZE IT”
DO NOT just use it for your introduction and DITCH it, it is a COMPLETE waste of time.
ASSURE model makes sure that teachers take their students into consideration when planning a lesson. We are teaching human being with different needs and abilities. We have to try our very best to accommodate it.
“You are not a bad teacher if a lesson does not work. You are a bad teacher if you don’t reflect upon your lessons and work on revising elements of the lesson until your students become successful learners.”
(Heinich, Molenda, Russell, Smaldino, 1999)
Reflection week 2 (week 4)
Today, we learned how to make a blog using WORDPRESS ( people said using blogspot is easier, but where is the challenge?? :P)
The lecture given by Dr. Rosseni was very interesting, she makes the complicated wordpress sound so simple, thus it encourages the-not-so-IT-savvy like me to create an account.
HERE IT IS —> MY BLOG~~!!! (saying this with PRIDE)
During the lecture Dr. Rosseni also mentioned that we have to come up with a video clip (VC). I was so impressed with the VC that she showed to us.. I can not stop complimenting the VC as it is REALLY 1000xxx IMPRESSIVE.. Although it will be quite impossible for me to come up with something as good as that, I would like to try my best, at least I’ll learn something useful for my future use..
I’m looking forward for this subject and I LOVE DR ROSSENI~~ ♥ (p/s:: i’m not trying to “ampu” her okay, i really do love her)
That’s all for this week.. TERIMA KASEH…
I just LOVE Paulo Coelho ^^
“No one should ever ask themselves that: why am I unhappy?
The question carries within it the virus that will destroy
everything. If we ask that question, it means we want to find
out what makes us happy. If what makes us happy is different
from what we have now, then we must either change once and
for all or stay as we are, feeling even more unhappy.“
TIRED~~~~~!!!!!!!!
tomorrow we have class at 8 pm~~!! WHAT IF THERE’S STILL NO WATER???!!
SIGH! SIGH! SIGH! SIGH!!!
when should I wake up??
YA ALLAH~~ Tolong la hambaMU ini, permudahkanlah urusanku… AMIN YA RABBALALAMIN~~~
huh, finally~~ (^0^)v
First entry and I’m complaining ,sigh~~ (frowning again and again and again)
TAADAAA~~!! I’m a first timer (still figuring out how to use it, SWEATING~~)
“Jav, how to put the calender in??” –>miserable
“Gman, how come your page have picture but mine doesn’t? –> miserable
“Apau, I do not know how to use it~!! –> FREAKING OUT
aiiii~~!! refer to the tutorial la dear qede… hhhehheh (pemalas sungguh~!!)
Okeh, enough for now~~I WANT TO EXPERIMENT THIS WORDPRESS.. 😀
So, let’s proceed to my complaint:: WHERE HAS THE WATER GONE??!! it has been 2 days and STILL NOT A DROP OF WATER here in KOLEJ IBRAHIM YAAKUB… WHAT THE WHAT~~~!!
WARRRGGGGHHHHH!! (softer N cheeky version:: R A W R~~!)
When there is no water, then::
1. Q: where to shower??
A: Foyer (if the water habis jugak?) then go to KUO (what if I malas?) then buy R.O water (elsie said:: berdaulat sunggu air R.O)
2. Q: what if i need to go to toilet??
A:: tahan jak la (la8r my pundi kencing burst out, where to find donor??), Don’t drink too much (dehydrated laaaa~~), Go KUO la~~
The problem is, it’s tiring~~!! when I am tired I can’t do my work properly, aiii~ aiii~~!!
