I have been reading the various theories from all over the internet on how 2012 will bring in major changes for mankind and the earth and wanted to see if any of these doom sayers had any scientific basis for their prophecies.
The only book I found where the author had put much travel, effort and research into the 2012 apocalypse was Lawrence E. Joseph. His book does a decent job of investigating the various myths, religious and scientific basis for a 2012 dooms day scenario.
The best information I found was from a Russian Dr.
Alexey Dmitriev, a geophysicist with the Russian Academy of Sciences. He claims the our solar system has just entered a highly energized area of space that is causing all of the planets to heat up and the sun to react strangely. His comments as follows:
"There are three important energy sources denied or completely downplayed by orthodox scientists.These are (1) the dynamic, incremental conditions of the interplanetary medium, (2)energetic effects of the planetary configuration of the Solar System, and (3)impulses from the center of the galaxy,”
Dmitriev believes that the entire Solar System is heating up. Think global warming, to the zillionth degree.
Dmitriev explains, the heliosphere has hit a rough patch, specifically, magnetized strips and striations containing hydrogen, helium, hydroxyl and compounds: space debris, perhaps the result of an exploded star.
The heliosphere has created a shock wave out in front of it as it pushes away particles of interstellar space. That shock wave has become larger and thicker as the heliosphere has entered this denser region of space, where there are more particles to push out of the way. Dmitriev estimates that the heliosphere’s shock wave has expanded tenfold, from 3 or 4 AU, to 40 AU or more.
“This shock wave thickening has caused the formation of a collusive plasma in a parietal layer, which has led to a plasma overdraft around the Solar System, and then to its breakthrough into interplanetary domains…This breakthrough constitutes a kind of matter and energy donation made by interplanetary space to our Solar System,”
According to Dmitriev, the shock wave is now pushing into our heliosphere, penetrating into regions where the heat shields, had the good Lord seen fit to equip our Solar System with some, would have been placed. The net result is that large amounts of energy are being injected into the interplanetary domain, jolting the Sun into erratic behavior, distressing the Earth’s magnetic field, and quite possibly exacerbating the global warming our planet is experiencing.
Dmitriev and his colleagues discovered the shock wave by analyzing Voyager satellite data from the outer reaches of the Solar System. The mission comprised two satellites and launched in 1977,Using the Voyager data as a baseline, Dmitriev and his colleagues compared it with more recent research culled from Russian and Western scientific journals, as well as NASA and ESA data.
The interstellar energy cloud has been much studied by Russian scientists, notably Vladimir B. Baranov, who in 1995 was named Soros Professor at Moscow State University.
The shock wave is strongest at the leading edge of the heliosphere as it moves through interstellar space, just as the wake of a boat is choppiest in front, at the point where the hull first slices through the water.Thus the shock wave most severely impacts the atmospheres, climates, and magnetic fields of the outer planets:
The shock wave’s effects have begun to be detected in the inner planets as well. The atmosphere of Mars is becoming denser and therefore more potentially biofriendly,“Increasing solar activity is a direct result of the increasing flows of matter, energy, and information we are experiencing as we move into the interstellar energy cloud. New demands are being placed upon the Sun, and we are experiencing the impact of these demands on our own planet,”
“There are absolutely unambiguous and reliable signs of this threatening phenomenon [the shock wave], related both to the Earth and the adjacent space…What really matters for us is to understand and accept them and endeavor to survive,”
he did say, in closing, that, “The global catastrophe—hurricanes, earthquakes, volcanoes synchronizing and amplifying each other in a positive feedback loop that will spin out of control, threatening the very existence of our modern civilization—we have been talking about should probably happen in ones, not tens, of years.”
