There are many individuals around today that are adamant that december 21 2012 will be the end of the world. Is this so though? And what will it bring? There is debate on a lot of this. The destruction of the earth by a celestial body is one of these theories. This could be a so-called black hole coming too near our solar system. The fabled Planet X, Nibiru, could be returning after its epic orbit around our sun. They reckon that this Planet X will be passing so close to our own planet that its gravitational pull will cause all the damage.

Another theory is that a huge asteroid is going to slam into the planet. However, many scientists have pointed out that there is no asteroid on a collision course with earth, or at least not one that we can detect. There will be a “close” asteroid encounter, but this close is actually more than eighteen times the distance from the moon to our earth away. While that is close in astronomical terms, it is not close enough to cause us any problems.

A geomagnetic reversal event caused by a solar flare is another theory. This reversal will cause the earth’s magnetic north and south poles to switch their polarity, which according to some, will cause massive natural disasters across the planet.
