People have asked me lately about what I thought of the 2012/Mayan Calendar thing… At the time I hadn’t really heard anything about the theories or ideas to have an opinion. Now, however, there was a special on SyFy channel (channel 122 on DISH Network) that I’ve watched that talked about these theories and I can say with clarity and confidence that this is a load of CRAP. The only important thing about December 21, 2012 is the winter solstice — The sun will be directly over the Tropic of Capricorn (23.5 degrees South Latitude).

Also, NASA has this press release out written by Don Yeomans, a senior research scientist at NASA. Here’s some of what he said:

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… So here is the scientific reality on the celestial happenings in the year 2012. (Bold added)
