In recent times, many people are constantly concerned about the question: if they survive until the end of the world and when it will come? Many web sites on the Internet say the world will end in December 2012. What it says is the most scientifically grounded in space theme organization - NASA? We offer You the answers to some questions about the threats to the Earth in 2012 that fascinate people.

Question: are There any threats to the Earth in 2012, and if the world will end on December 21, 2012?
Answer: the world will not end in 2012. Our planet there are more than 4 billion years, and credible scientists all over the world, do not indicate any serious threat associated with 2012.

Question: What is the origin of the predictions that the world will end in 2012?
Answer: the Story began with the claim that Nibiru, planet of the type of brown dwarf, discovered by ancient Sumerians, is sent to Earth. This disaster was originally predicted for may 2003, but when nothing happened, the date of the end of the world has been brought forward to December 2012. It's also connected with the end of one of the cycles in the ancient Mayan calendar at the time of the winter solstice in 2012 - hence the prediction of the end of the world on December 21, 2012.

Question: did the Mayan calendar ends in December 2012?
Answer: the same as the calendar on your wall cuisine will not cease to exist after December 31, and the Mayan calendar is not going to end on 21 December 2012. This is the date of the end of the period long account of the Maya, but then - as calendar begins again from January 1 a new period started for the Mayan calendar.

Question: Could planet be aligned in such a way that it will affect the Earth?
Answer: it is Not expected any planetary alignments in the next few decades, and even if this alignment occurs, the impact of these planets on the Earth will be minor. One of the major alignments, for example, occurred in 1962, and the other two in 1982 and 2000. Every December the earth and the Sun coincide with the approximate center of the galaxy, the Milky Way, but it is an annual event does not matter.

Question: is There a planet or brown dwarf, called Nibiru or planet X or Eris, which is approaching the Earth and threaten our planet wide scale destruction?
Answer: Nibiru and other stories about wayward planet is an Internet hoax. There is no factual basis for these claims. If Nibiru or other planets were real and were sent to the meeting with the Earth in 2012, astronomers must be tracked it for at least the last ten years. And such planet today would have been visible to the naked eye. It is obvious that they do not exist. Eris is real, but it is a dwarf planet similar to Pluto that will remain in the outer solar system. The nearest distance at which this planet can come to the Earth not less than 4 billion miles.

Question: What is the theory of the pole shift? Is it true that the earth's crust can sdelat-degree rotation around the nucleus in a few days, if not hours?
Answer: the rotation of the earth's crust is impossible. There is the slow movement of continents (such as Antarctica was near the equator hundreds of millions of years ago), but it has no relation to the change of the poles. The cause of these rumors was the information about a connection between Earth's rotation and magnetic polarity. Magnetic polarity is changed regularly, alternating magnetization occurs on average every 400.000 years. As far as we know, such alternating magnetization not cause any harm to life on Earth. Scientists believe that the magnetization reversal is unlikely to happen in the next few millennia.

Question: is There a danger of a meteor impact in the Earth in 2012?
Answer: the Earth has always been the impacts of comets and asteroids, although large, generating a global catastrophe, were rare. The last great influence was 65 million years ago, this led to the extinction of the dinosaurs. Today, NASA astronomers are conducting a study of outer space, to identify any near-earth asteroids before they hit the ground. We have already determined that there are no threatening asteroids of this size as the one that killed the dinosaurs. All this work is done openly, the information is placed daily on the website NASA.

Question: How NASA scientists refer to the experiences of humanity about the end of the world in 2012?
Answer: Any predictions remain fantastic, if they are not supported by scientific evidence. All of the above events is fictitious claims made in books, movies, documentaries or through the Internet. There is no conclusive evidence for any claims made in support of unusual events taking place in December 2012.

Question: is There a danger of giant solar storms predicted for 2012?
Answer: Solar activity is regular cycle, with peaks approximately every 11 years. During such peak activity, solar flares can cause some interruption of satellite communications, although engineers are studying how to create electronics that are protected from solar storms. But there are no special risks associated with 2012. The next solar maximum will happen in the 2012-2014 period, and is predicted to be medium power, no different from previous cycles throughout history.
