The 2012 phenomenon has
been discussed or referenced in several media. Several TV documentaries, as
well as many contemporary fictional references to the year 2012 refer to 21
December as the day of a cataclysmic event.
Nothing will happen to our earth around 4 to 5 billion years in future. Mayan calendar is same like our colander (which we are using in our home, Jan 1 to Dec 31). In Mayan calendar December 21 is last day where as our calendar December 31 is last day of the year, as our calendar begins again on January 1, another long count period begins for the Mayan calendar!
Indian calender 5000 years old (2007-2042).
The phenomenon has
spread widely since coming to public notice, particularly on the Internet.
Hundreds of thousands of websites have been posted on the subject. "Ask an astrobiologist", a NASA public outreach website, has received over 5000
questions from the public on the subject since 2007, some people are asking whether they should kill
themselves, their children or their pets.
In May 2012, an Ipsos poll of 16,000 adults in 21 countries found that 8 percent had experienced fear or anxiety over the possibility of the world ending in December, 2012, while an average of 10 percent agreed with the statement "the Mayan calendar, which some say ‘ends’ in 2012, marks the end of the world", with responses as high as 20 percent in China, 13 percent in Russia, Turkey, Japan and Korea, and 12 percent in the United States, where sales of private underground blast shelters have increased noticeably since 2009.
At least one suicide has been directly linked to fear of a 2012 apocalypse, with several more anecdotally reported.A panel of scientists questioned on the topic at a plenary session at the Astronomical Society of the Pacific contended that the Internet has played a substantial role in allowing this doomsday date to gain more traction than previous similar panics.

"There apparently is a great deal of interest in celestial bodies, and their locations and trajectories at the end of the calendar year 2012. Now, I for one love a good book or movie as much as the next guy. But the stuff flying around through cyberspace, TV and the movies is not based on science. There is even a fake NASA news release out there..."
- Don Yeomans,
NASA senior research scientist
Some people don’t
know about Science!!!!!!!!!!!
Please note actual meaning of Science is:
Please note actual meaning of Science is:
“Science
is Systematized knowledge, careful observation, experimentation, and
verification”
Then don’t listen to stuff flying around through cyberspace, TV and the movies, these are making money on the end of the calendar year 2012.
World will not end in 21 Dec 2012. It is conspiracy theory. It is not proven properly and scientifically. It has to be done in different time and space by only global warming. We should save the earth, because earth is heating up day by day, but we are not caring, we are doing non-productive arguments.
We do know the nature is spoiling day by day. Whatever we have herd
in TV channels Newspapers and some blogs on world end and they are making money
on that.
For example the Movie 2012 which is released on 2009
by American science fiction disaster film directed by Roland Emmerich and it is
not scientific, they invested 200 million(1100 crores) and has a worldwide
theatrical revenue that reached approximately $800 million (4400 Crores). And
just imagine cyberspace several media and TV documentaries how much they might
earned.
