I didn't realize how far behind we were here in EST. Lol.
glad to hear NZ is fine!*offcourse it will be fine* (ohh I wanna go to NZ so much, my fiancee is from NZ )

Ha, I'm guessing you're in USA or UK. They are where most young Kiwis go to for their 'overseas experience'. … By the way, it's a *very long plane trip, mostly over the ocean, but it's worthwhile for things like the scenery at least …. which was the *background for "The Rings" and "The Hobbit".
.. cheers.
I'm from The Netherlands, close to UK :D but yeah I heard all about it the movies then *jealous*
once the 21st hits NL I party :P
''One day dreamer, one dream at a time''
Universal Time / GMT has just clicked over onto Friday, December 21.
Half of the World is now on their Friday.
The news services are not showing anything even remotely unusual (except for a new female president in South Korea, and Santa Claus being called ‘Politically Incorrect’.)
The Earth and its human inhabitants are continuing on as normal.
We are extremely confident that the other half of the world will continue normally as well.
The news services are not showing anything even remotely unusual (except for a new female president in South Korea, and Santa Claus being called ‘Politically Incorrect’.)
LOL, to the Santa Claus part.
considering that 12:00 AM GMT was one of the "beginnings of the end" I can say we're fairly safe. Maybe a flying spaghetti monster will come eat me :P
The question i ask are we safe for the moment has the planetary alignment and winter solstice ocurred on those places?
And btw brad meltzer is airing a documentary on history called 2012 the end is now has anyone seen it?
I haven't seen it, and don't want to. Carlos, I'm not trying to be mean, but you need to stop watching that garbage and believing every word you said. Brad Meltzer doesn't know crap because he doesn't know what the hell he's talking about. Alignments are harmless, and don't bother the earth(they can be pretty actually. And second of all, it's not going to be winter everywhere. Half the world is in Summer, not winter.
I understand what you are trying to say metal it's that i am full of joy that nothing has happened but i get a little bit of anxiety because nasa said that on friday 12/21/12 at 11:11 it's going to be the winter solstice the catalyst for the doomsayers and my question is the fact that 11:11 has happened on alot of continents already means that we are safe or we have to wait for 11:11 eastern time meaning nyc that was my question
It does not matter. Wont happen. Find something to do and keep your mind occupied. Play some games, read books go out and exercise. Its better than worrying over something that wont happen.
Carlos,
It's okay to feel nervous, it's natural. But think about it this way, only 1 more day and this whole hoax is over with. Otherwise, there's nothing to worry about because there is no scientific proof that anything is going to happen. As for the Maya calender, it goes on to dates beyond 2012 and that they didn't predict Doomsday. And you have to trust NASA because they assured us everything is okay. As for numerology, it's nothing to worry about. All you have to worry about is what you're getting everybody for Christmas ;).
~If you feel the need me, feel free to send me a pm~
Those times don't mean anything because nothing is going to happen! ….. However, many years ago the original doomsayers noticed that the winter solstice in 2012 was *estimated to be at 11:11 GMT. .. They thought a.ha!! That looks like something that would interest the numerology fanatics! .. So they included the idea in their crazy claims. .. As the years went by, the actual time was refined to be very close to 11:12, and that became the *official time of the solstice. I guess we aren't sure if the doomsayers just ignored that or not, but the fact remains that nothing is going to happen at that time, or any other time on Dec 21.
It doesn't make any difference anyway, because there isn't any evidence that the ancient Maya had any idea which baktun changes a thousand or more years into the future, would, or wouldn't be on the same day as a solstice. .. Why would they have cared about humans who would be living well over 1,000 years into the future? … It would be like us worrying about the people who will be living in the year 3012.
I have a question, who was the idiot who thought an alignment would cause doomsday, shessh.
This mushroom hound had something to do with it. Didn't exactly say there'd be a doomsday, but if you can figure out what he does believe, let me know.
I think the *main proponent of the "galactic alignment" was John Major Jenkins. .. There is info on this page. .. Other people expanded on his ideas. It looks like they included the wild claim that it would be bad in some way, and ignored the fact that a *rough alignment happens *every year about the solstice. An imaginary line drawn from the Earth, through the Sun, points very roughly towards the center of the galaxy. It was actually somewhat more accurate in 1998, but the doomsayers apparently didn't know that! ….. In any case, we are about 26,000 light years from the center, so it is *impossible for anything bad to happen.
So basically with nothing happening on the continents that has passed the 11:11 mark we should not worry about anything else right?
Right !! You have absolutely nothing to worry about! .. Nothing drastic is going to happen.
Peter check out this link that got posted on my facebook
the thing that i did not understand was the 10:12 pm thing care to comment on it
Geez! I wish the Aussies wouldn't do that! They are still trying to make jokes about it. (Well I guess their Prime Minister started it!) .. I think the 10:12pm thing is them trying to work out what the equivalent time in Aussie will be for the solstice.
We know already that it doesn't mean anything (see the posts above) so they are wasting their time really.
I bet whoever posted it on your Facebook doesn't understand the Aussie sense of humor. .. Perhaps you can tell him/her to ignore it. .. It is all rubbish.
Please added Athens, Greece: nothing other than the unrelated economic problems.
Going to be 12:00 CST in three minutes. Looking forward to a bit of nothing.
whee
damn thats 10:12 thing is freaking me out……i wish itd hurry up and pass, wats it for anyway? Solstice??
solstice has already occurred in Europe, Middle East, Asia, and Australia, New Zealand. All passed with no problems.
Has the solstice happen over there without any problems there and all the places that it is currently december 22 also?
The Solstice has already passed everywhere, and nothing happened.
Hear the music before the song is over…
Right. The northern hemisphere winter solstice occurred 6 hrs 17 min ago. (11:12 GMT or UTC).
There was lots of confusion about this last night. (I'm in UTC-6, US Central Std time which is UTC-6 hrs). Why the confusion? Probably 'cause we laymen use the word Solstice to refer to a day, but astronomers use it to refer to an instant when the Earth's axis of rotation aligns with the plane perpendicular to the ecliptic that also contains the centers of the Earth and Sun. There are two of those instants each year, one in June and the other in December. (On the "Solstice Days" as we laymen call them.)

So yes the Winter Solstice is over.
@Carlos Lap
Everything is alright. The hoax is all over now.
In a sacarstic hypothesis will the doomsayers use december 23 2012 now as the excused date for the supposed apocalypse? and btw my cousin was seeing the 2012 movie and she told me that she is scared because on the movie says that the apocalypse begins on the 22 through the 23 sigh…………………….
