Akhir-akhir ni bila saya online atau baca suratkhabar ataupun tengok berita....macam-macam kejadian aneh makin kerap berlaku! Sebagai contoh kejadian letupan gunung berapi di Iceland pada 17 April lalu yang menyebabkan asap tebal yg dahsyat menutupi hampir keseluruhan Eropah! Bagi yang tahu serba sedikit tentang agama...asap merupakan salah satu daripada 10 petanda-petanda hari kiamat! Bukan itu saja....banyak lagi tanda-tanda lain yang sering mempengaruhi kepercayaan kita terhadap kebenaran 2012...misalnya gempa bumi..Tsunami...wabak H1N1........kalo nak disenaraikan memang banyakla!!!!
Ingat lagi tak kita pasal isu Y2K??? Masa tu bermacam-macam ramalan yang kita dengar pasal Y2K...hampir huru hara satu dunia pasal isu tu. Tapi...tengokla apa berlaku masa itu? Takde ape pun yang berlaku! So, bagaimana plak dengan ramalan kali ni????
Demi menjelaskan ramalan ini dengan lebih logik dan masuk akal.....NASA telah memberi sedikit ulasan tentang persoalan berkaitan dengan ramalan 2012 ini......antaranya:
Question (Q): Are there any threats to the Earth in 2012? Many Internet websites say the world will end in December 2012.
Answer (A): Nothing bad will happen to the Earth in 2012. Our planet has been getting along just fine for more than 4 billion years, and credible scientists worldwide know of no threat associated with 2012.
Q: What is the origin of the prediction that the world will end in 2012?
A: The story started with claims that Nibiru, a supposed planet discovered by the Sumerians, is headed toward Earth. This catastrophe was initially predicted for May 2003, but when nothing happened the doomsday date was moved forward to December 2012. Then these two fables were linked to the end of one of the cycles in the ancient Mayan calendar at the winter solstice in 2012 -- hence the predicted doomsday date of December 21, 2012.
Q: Does the Mayan calendar end in December 2012?
A: Just as the calendar you have on your kitchen wall does not cease to exist after December 31, the Mayan calendar does not cease to exist on December 21, 2012. This date is the end of the Mayan long-count period but then -- just as your calendar begins again on January 1 -- another long-count period begins for the Mayan calendar.
Q: Could a phenomena occur where planets align in a way that impacts Earth?
A: There are no planetary alignments in the next few decades, Earth will not cross the galactic plane in 2012, and even if these alignments were to occur, their effects on the Earth would be negligible. Each December the Earth and sun align with the approximate center of the Milky Way Galaxy but that is an annual event of no consequence.
Q: Is there a planet or brown dwarf called Nibiru or Planet X or Eris that is approaching the Earth and threatening our planet with widespread destruction?
A: Nibiru and other stories about wayward planets are an Internet hoax. There is no factual basis for these claims. If Nibiru or Planet X were real and headed for an encounter with the Earth in 2012, astronomers would have been tracking it for at least the past decade, and it would be visible by now to the naked eye. Obviously, it does not exist. Eris is real, but it is a dwarf planet similar to Pluto that will remain in the outer solar system; the closest it can come to Earth is about 4 billion miles.
Q: Is the Earth in danger of being hit by a meteor in 2012?
A: The Earth has always been subject to impacts by comets and asteroids, although big hits are very rare. The last big impact was 65 million years ago, and that led to the extinction of the dinosaurs. Today NASA astronomers are carrying out a survey called the Spaceguard Survey to find any large near-Earth asteroids long before they hit. We have already determined that there are no threatening asteroids as large as the one that killed the dinosaurs. All this work is done openly with the discoveries posted every day on the NASA NEO Program Office website, so you can see for yourself that nothing is predicted to hit in 2012.
Q: Is there a danger from giant solar storms predicted for 2012?
A: Solar activity has a regular cycle, with peaks approximately every 11 years. Near these activity peaks, solar flares can cause some interruption of satellite communications, although engineers are learning how to build electronics that are protected against most solar storms. But there is no special risk associated with 2012. The next solar maximum will occur in the 2012-2014 time frame and is predicted to be an average solar cycle, no different than previous cycles throughout history.
Di atas adala beberapa persoalan lazim serta jawapan yang diberikan oleh NASA tentang ramalan 2012. Namun, seperti biasa, kita tak seharusnya menerima bulat2 jawapan tersebut kerana banyak hal yang NASA itu sendiri tidak dapat terangkan secara logikal dan saintifik! Kita kena ingat....dunia kita ini bukan bergantung dengan fakta sains semata-mata! Kita punya kepercayaan serta agama masing-masing. Dengan berlandaskan kepercayaan itulah kita boleh menentukan arah tuju hidup kita dan membolehkan kita membezakan yang baik dan buruk! Beringatlah....kiamat bukan ditentukan oleh ramalan manusia tapi Tuhan yang akan menentukan ia....maybe esok lusa, tahun depan atau 2020 kiamat akan terjadi...tidak semestinya tahun 2012!!!!!
