How real is ‘2012?’

An interesting article on HowStuffWorks.com explores the scenario of the world ending in the upcoming movie “2012.”

Since the dawn of time, there have been countless predictions of how and when the world will end. Some are based on historical myths and others just paranoia.

The article notes several theories, such as the belief that another ice age will finish us off, or that eventually the sun will become too large, consuming the Earth. Remember Y2K?

The film “2012,” which comes out this Friday, Nov. 13, explores what might happen if an ancient Mayan prediction of the world ending on Dec. 12, 2012 came true.

The prophecy stems from the fact that the Mayan calendar ends on this day.

While the movie is a blockbuster with enormously impressive special effects sequences (as seen from the trailer) that may seem incredibly unrealistic to some, it still leaves you wondering, “What if?”
