The Dec 21 2012 Polar Shift: Is It True?
There has been a lot of talks, speculations, predictions, and fear among the people of different races about the Dec 21 2012 polar shift, especially those who understand this event the way it is presented on face value. As a result of the expected the event that may happen on this date, several religious fanatics and small sects begin to legitimize the claim that the end of the world is near. And after the movie 2012 has been shown worldwide, the level of interest and the intensity of fear just intensify. But what will occur on this said date? {Why is it so important}?
The common conception is that the Dec 21 2012 polar shift will cause cataclysmic events from earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions and other major natural catastrophes as a direct result of geomagnetic reversal. What is gomagnetic reversal?
The geometric reversal that is expected to happen in 2012 is a phenomenon wherein there will be a change in the earth’s magnetic field. This is not a unique occurrence as the last time it happened was about 780,000 years ago. {In other words, there will be a change in geomagnetic location or a change in the location of the polar regions}. Meanwhile, the scientists believes the geometric reversal happens every 300,000 years, meaning we are long overdue.
What are the reasons to believe that the polar shift will happen in Dec 21 2012?
Because different people from all walks of life have interpreted this event differently, and oftentimes to absurd, it is now hard to know now which ones to believe. {Some said that the polar shift was predicted by the Mayans; others said that it was Nostradamus; some believed that the bible was the source}.
The truth is, Mayans never said that there will be such even in 2012; what they said was that it will be the end of time and a new age will begin. By definition, “end of time” means end of the world, but to the Mayans, it was only a cycle—a calendar, a measure of time. Known for the accuracy of their calendar, the Mayans knew that the earth enters a new cycle every 25,625 years or equivalent to one galactic day—the period where the earth has revolved around the galaxy.
Nostradamus’s lost book was also believed to contain an accurate drawing about alignment of our solar system with the center of the galaxy that happens every 13,000 years. The most amazing thing is that, he predicted that the sun and the earth will align with the center of galaxy, an astrological age, will is believed to happen in 2012—alligned with the Mayans’ astrological computation.
There were also different people and civilizations that foretold a significantly important claim about the polar shift—Albert Einstein, the Sumerians, the Egyptians, Nicolas Copernicus, and others.
Nonetheless, we really have no way to know whether the Dec 21 2012 polar shift will happen or not and the effects it will have on our lives and our planet. We just have to think on the positive side and prepare in any way we can.
