The sun and earth will be lined up with the center of the Milky Way on Dec. 21, 2012. This only happens once every 26,625 years. What happens then is anybody's guess. The sun is due for a pole reversal in 2012. The Mayan calendar's great cycle ends on Dec. 21, 2012. (Coincidentally, the Mayan calendar's great cycles also run for 26,000 years and then it starts over.)

However, many people believe it signifies that that's the day the world will end....because of ancient cultures (aztecs, mayans, hindus) belief of something happening on 12.21.12 (yes it's documented), because of the lining up with the Milky Way, because of the pole reversal on the sun (and even Earth itself), because supposedly there is an asteroid headed towards us (due to be a near miss in 2012).

Fascinating stuff. Just keep in mind that throughout the centuries there has been hundreds if not thousands of end-date predictions and all were obviously....false.

How is milky quartz formed?

Milky quartz is formed when liquid rich in silica cools and solidifies deep within the Earth's crust. As the mineral cools, tiny gas bubbles are trapped inside, creating the milky appearance. Over time, the mineral can be brought closer to the surface through geological processes like uplift and erosion.


Does ammonia turn limewater milky?

No, ammonia does not turn limewater milky. When ammonia reacts with limewater (calcium hydroxide solution), it forms a clear solution without any visible change. The milky appearance in limewater is typically caused by the precipitation of calcium carbonate when carbon dioxide is bubbled through the solution.


What are the differences between milky quartz and clear quartz?

Milky quartz and clear quartz are both varieties of the mineral quartz, but they differ in their appearance. Milky quartz has a cloudy or milky white color due to microscopic inclusions of fluid or gas, while clear quartz is transparent and colorless. Additionally, milky quartz is often less valuable than clear quartz due to its less desirable appearance.


When you add an acid to a carbonate to a universal indicator it turns milky?

This is false. When you add a carbonate to universal indicator it's does not turn milky. In actual fact it turns either like thick bubbly layers or stay the same depending on the acid type are using in this situation. Because of chemistry scientists have sussed that there is no acid which can make the universal indicator turn milky. So the answer to the question is no and if you have to put this question into into a trye or false table then this question would go under FALSE because it does not turn milky.


The appearance of milky quartz is caused by?

The appearance of milky quartz is caused by microscopic inclusions of fluid or gas trapped during the crystal's formation. These inclusions scatter and reflect light within the crystal, giving it a cloudy or milky white appearance.

What happens if earth is not in the Milky Way?

IF the earth was not in the milky way then it would have had to develop in a different galaxy, this would potentially mean that the earths sphere would have a dent half its size (half life radioisotopes) and people could not live on it as there would not be enough of an ozone layer to produce enough oxygen for human beings or other living species
