The world won't End in 2012 it will just change DRASTICALLY That is what the Mayans call as the new beginning because it will most likely wipe out all we know at the moment, no known facts of what exactly will happen but the evidence leads to a very similar event depicted in the actual movie"2012" except.. without the arcs..
1986 - The world was doomed to end
1999 - Computers will malfunction and the world will end.
2012 - The world will end because the Mayan's predicted it
Coincidence? Nope, people are just stupid and believe what people say.
