If you're asking whether the world is going to end on December 21, 2012, the answer is almost certainly "no." There is no evidence that any of the various predicted disasters is happening or about to happen.

Every few years, some group or other decides that the world is about to end, and they make big news about it. Obviously, they've always been wrong before, since the world is still here.

This newest end of the world is based on the idea that an ancient calendar reaches its end on December 21, 2012. That part is true. But every calendar ends, and then a new year (or in this case, a new cycle) begins. Last year our Western calendar ended on December 31 - but the world kept going. January 1 was the beginning of a brand-new year.

People have claimed that a planet, or a star, or sunspots, or pole shifts, earthquakes, global warming, global freezing, or various other events will end the world. This is incorrect for a couple of reasons.

First, most of these notions are based on fiction or warped facts, often twisted to make a scarier story. Sunspots are real, for example, and they do seem to come in cycles. But nothing shows that they're any worse this year than during the last cycle, or the ones before that. In fact, this cycle doesn't reach its peak until 2013.

Second, science couldn't predict any of these things so exactly as to say on which they they'd happen. We can't even predict the weather much beyond three days or so. We don't know when or where Hurricane Sandy is going to make landfall.

I think it is probably more helpful to ignore the end of the world, and work on solving the real problems that will still be here on December 22, 2012. It's nice to think that if the world ended on 12/21, you wouldn't have to buy any Christmas presents this year - but I don't recommend relying on it.

No, it will not, if you're talking about the controversial subject. It's fake, like 2012 (but not a movie) and 2000 (Y2K). But there is no ruling the world will end in 2014. Keep in mind, there is no ruling out that the world will end in 49 seconds.
