OMG ......... its not what u think ...... 2012 is just a scientific change in the SUN that is going to happen soon !! ........ Every 100 yrs or so, the SUN goes under Solar Maximum = Sun changing its position or Degree of revolution !! ..... IT IS TURE (watch the movie Solarmax on goolge videos). But this time on 2012 when this will happen, the electromagnetic fields of the two poles of the sun !! north and south !! will snap out of their position because of the force between them is way too much to keep them together !! ........ they change their poles meaning the sun will break up into pieces !! this will create all the meteor showers ..... HUGE AND HOTTTT !! like melting lava thrown at earth !! and this is why it is dangerous !! OFCOURSE !! ....... DUH ..... earth cant stand its own temperature, a meteor shower will destroy it !! ...... btw all this is true, like i said watch the movie solarmax !! Google 2012 ! it is fun to read all that ...... dang ..... i still didn't get to graduate college ...... which i am in 2012 o.O !! WoOt !!!
