but in essence, it IS possible to predict future events

in re: to the Mayan calendar .. they really didn't predict anything
that's just when there calendar stops
however, that's the year when the solar system aligns with the galactic core

 

^ it's about time you posted about a movie

:ha:

 

I've only seen that date once
it's actually the 21st, I predict the 'beginning' starts the 12th (12/12/12)

-- According to the calendar, the start of the Great Cycle begins ( day 0.0.0.0.0) on 11th August 3114 BC, and the end-date (known as 13.0.0.0.0.) as 21st December 2012 --
^ looking at that, if you formatted your timebase as DD/MM, the date would read as 2112

 

Part of the 2012 mystique stems from the stars. On the winter solstice in 2012, the sun will be aligned with the center of the Milky Way for the first time in about 26,000 years. This means that "whatever energy typically streams to Earth from the center of the Milky Way will indeed be disrupted on 12/21/12 at 11:11 p.m. Universal Time," Joseph writes.

But scholars doubt the ancient Maya extrapolated great meaning from anticipating the alignment — if they were even aware of what the configuration would be.

Astronomers generally agree that "it would be impossible the Maya themselves would have known that,"

here's what happens .....

The Earth spins on an axis. Like everything else that spins, it wobbles. That wobble is technically called precession, and it explains why Earthlings have seen the sun rise against different constellations over the centuries.

Each "wobble" (or precessional cycle) lasts 25,800 years. Researchers believe that the current precessional cycle will end in the year 2012. This date is known as the "End-Date" in Maya calendrics. At that time, the Earth will begin a new cycle in the opposite direction.
