topik tentang "kiamat pada 2012" makin menjadi bahan perbualan masyarakat diseluruh benua...tak kira india,melayu,cina,bangladesh dan sebagainya......kebenaran masih tidak dapat dibuktikan oleh saintis tak kira dari mana asal mereka....mungkin mereka mewujudkan cerita ini hanya bertujuan mencari populariti,nama,mensensasikan kisah yang tidak ada penjelasan yang konkrik serta ingin menakut-nakutkan masyarakat dunia.....Allah ta`la shj tahu bila dan bagaimana ia berlaku.....yang kita tau kiamat mmg dah hampir....pelbagai2 tanda kiamat dah ditunjukkan.....kita hanya boleh bertaubat dan memperbanyakkan amalan mulia dan menunaikan perintahNya......

In case you haven't heard, there's a rumor going around that the world will end on December 21, 2012, based on an ancient Mayan prediction.
Did the Mayans really predict that the world would end on that date? And do we really have anything to worry about? The answers, not surprisingly, are "no" and "of course not."
To make a long story short, December 21, 2012, really is a special date in the Mayan calendar. But there's no evidence that they believed the world would end then — and a fair amount of evidence to the contrary. As for the planetary and cosmological lineups that latter-day doom-mongers have associated with that date, they're flat-out wrong.
Want to know what to tell your friends? Noted archaeoastronomer E. C. Krupp explains all the details in the November 2009 issue of Sky & Telescope, now available at a newsstand near you. You probably won't find it in your local supermarket, but it should be able to find it on the magazine rack in any good bookstore. And if it's sold out, you can always subscribe in a pinch!
Incidentally, in that same issue, S&T editor-in-chief Robert Naeye describes some cosmic catastrophes that actually could happen — and explains why they're not likely to strike in the next millennium or two.
