See why December 21, 2012 is not a conspiracy theory for doomsday believers. Evidence show the year 2012 could be the end of the world as we know it.

Groundbreaking developments in science, space, technology, health, and the environment

It's a comprehensive material on the Mayan (and other prophecies) end date of 21.12.2012. To know why the world in its present incarnation must end, one should first know what the world is. Without understanding the fundamental principles on which this world rests, how can we even start to speculate if it will end and why it must end? When understood, the end of time becomes an inevitable certainty, not a matter of conjectures. Every incarnation of this world is a manifestation of its particular quantum state and it has a very, very precise duration. Not a second can be added or taken away. When the time is due, the Sun must rise on the horizon - it's as regular as clock. And when the time arrives for this cyclic rising and setting of Sun to cease, then the whole thing must be reversed because every action has a reaction. It's also as regular as the clock. All periodic dissolutions of physical world are regular. It's only a matter of time when the world must be dissolved in its present state. And that time is winter solstice 2012.

Daily Common Sense is a blog about everyday life nonsense, because common sense is not so common. It's about stories, scams and hoax debunking, technology, science, everything that could be infected with nonsense!
