I can't take "what ifs" out from my head

Listen i know there is no evidence of a doomsday in 2012 and the maya never predicted a doomsday for that date but i can't stop thinking "what if it happens". I am sure that who is thinking that is not me but my subconscious and it is driving me crazy. I know we have untestable and testable claims and at least 99% of the claims are testable. But my damn subconscious is thinking "what if we are wrong and we tested the claims wrong" or "the science is not able to debunk somethings". I can't deal with these thoughts.
And the galactic plane claim is wrong, but my damn subconscious is thinking "what if our solar system will speed up when the day comes and we pass through the galactic plane".

That's awful!

One more thing. The aztec calendar ends in 2027 so we have just more 16 years to live? Should we take it seriously? The aztecs believe that Earth has many cycles. This is the fourth sun i think. And in 2027 the fifth sun starts right? The aztecs believe that this means the end of the world as we know it?
One more thing. Could everything we know be wrong and the doomsayers be right? What if you are all wrong and our science is not able to understand the untestable claims for 2012?????

And how exactly would we speed up? ;-) ;-) ;-)

Also depending on what you mean with galactic plane, we passed it about 27,000 years ago ;-)

And to add on that, if the solar system would speed up. This can be detected by the red-blue shift.
We see a colour change in the stars we observe and one thing astronomers really like to do is measure lines in the colour spectrum of the stars.

If the Maya never predicted the end, so how does "what if" work in this case?

I am sure that who is thinking that is not me but my subconscious and it is driving me crazy.

I know we have untestable and testable claims and at least 99% of the claims are testable.

I'd say 95%, because we have NWO, Jesus and other stuff.

"what if we are wrong and we tested the claims wrong"

The doomsayers "tested" the claims right and we used the wrong numbers and the wrong science? Highly, highly unlikely.

"the science is not able to debunk somethings"

What kind of things? Why are you suspecting of the scientific method?

One more thing. The aztec calendar ends in 2027 so we have just more 16 years to live? Should we take it seriously?

Ok, we should take an ancient civilization seriously? C'mon, that's just a belief. Are you going to believe in the mayan god Quetzalcoatl because the Maya did?

Could everything we know be wrong and the doomsayers be right? What if you are all wrong and our science is not able to understand the untestable claims for 2012?????

As I said above, that is very unlikely, Imadonut… I can't die from a car accident, so I won't drive my car today. Hm… what? You can't waste your time worried about something unlikely. Live your life. ;-)

Hi Imadonut,
How likely does it seem to you that every scientist on the planet is wrong and a bunch of scientically illiterate screwballs who are doing this for profit are right? Since you know that there was no prophecy about 2012 and all the claims are scientifically impossible, what is there to make 2012 special in any way? Maybe the Earth is just going to decide on December 21, 2012, "Oh, a woman with no scientific education, who hears aliens in her head, said the world is supposed to end today, so I guess I'll have to do it. Poof!"

Fear is a crazy thing. We focus on stuff that is out of our control because it is easier than facing stuff in our lives. I had a wall fall on me and suffered a traumatic brain injury. I am afraid of going into stores with stuff piled high such as a dollar store or supermarket. I go into them anyway because I need to get over my fear of another wall falling.

In short what happened to me was a freak accident but it has made me fearful of walls. But I tell myself that most walls are safe, and go about my business.

That is all any of us can do. Just live our lives inspite of our fears of 2012 or anything else.

Thanks for the replies. Now about the 2012 movie, that is a hoax i know but here is the thing. For example, remember that scene with the chinese old guy talking to a young boy in a house, i think they were in Tibet. The trauma is that if i see anything from there or talk to someone that lives in Tibet or even if someone says the word "Tibet", i remember the movie. Anyway i do not freak out but it is not good.

I had the same problem as you are having after watching the woo-movie. But I forgot the movie after a few days. Maybe it won't be that easy to you, because you are far more scared than me, but soon you won't even remember that scene.
Read this page, if you wanna laugh at the movie a bit more. ;-)

Actually it would be interesting how they created the special effects.
It takes away the illusion. Just like understand how the magicians trick works.

You should watch some "Behind-the-scenes" videos. They explain how the special effects were created, like on the movie "Hancock". You can watch a few here.

Hi donut,
I don't know how helpful this will be, but when you start to worry about that scene from the movie, try thinking about Transformers, the Harry Potter movies, or Godzilla. How much do they scare you? The 2012 movie is no more real than those. Movies aren't meant to portray reality. They are fiction for entertainment, and of course to make money for the movie makers.

In my opinion, Deep Impact and The Day After Tomorrow are more scary than 2012. In 2012, the world is at least "renewed" at the end of the movie, which makes it a little better. But they need more than "little better" to be at least watchable. ;-)
Alene's tip is good. You can remember movies like Transformer and Godzilla and you'll probably feel better. It's all Hollywood.
