They said Galileo was delusional when he confirmed the hypothesis of Copernicus that the Sun was the center of our universe and not the Earth.
Dr. Massimo Pigliucci, University of Tennessee, said it best:
"This is the "Galileo" effect. Proponents of new theories are fond of recalling the many examples of scientists who had be derided, ignored, or worse, persecuted because of their radical theories, which then proved to be correct. What this line of reasoning ignores, of course, is the fact that for every Galileo who eventually succeeded there were thousands of crackpots who did not. For every example of a daring, new scientific theory, which ends up being accepted, there are many, many examples of wrong theories, forever rejected and confined to the limbo of pseudoscientific history. Novelty per se is no evidence.'

Unfortunately we dont have 200 years to straighten out my theorys or hypotheses if you have been following our Earths increasing restlessness.
It isn't the Earth that is increasingly restless, but the 6 billion + inhabitants. Actually, there is evidence that shows the number of world conflicts and oppression has dropped in recent history.

I believe the Mayans predicted late December 2012 as the end of this world and the begining of another that is if we make it that far. The Hopi believe a day of Purification is nearly at hand. Now its a well known fact that Nostradomus and Edgar Cayce both said there will be a shifting of the poles
The Mayans, you have to remember were a culture that looked at life in a very cyclical way. Their calendar was not linear as is Western calendars. To judge their culture through the lens of your own is to be ethnocentric. Western notions of linear ‘beginnings’ and ‘ends’ cannot be used to understand a cultural artifact based upon a cyclical idea of time._ Recent vocal proponents of the Maya’s ‘predictions’ for the end of the world neglect this fundamental rule of anthropology and archaeology, turning an ancient idea of symbolic rebirth into a literal and real cataclysmic event. I recommend reading:
Coe, Michael D., 1980. _ The Maya. Thames and Hudson, New York. He goes in-depth on the religion and culture of the Maya and speaks about many of the artifacts, including calendars.
As to Nostradamus and Cayce, they've been thoroughly debunked... there was even a Nostradamus prediction created by a college student a few years ago to demonstrate that Nostradamus' quatrains are so vague and cryptic, that they could refer to anything. Not long after this quatrain was invented, the WTC disaster occured. Cayce made many predictions that never came true, including the demise of the world in 1999, that 1933 would be a good year (that was when the Great Depression occured), and some about the Lindberg kidnapping... none of which panned out.
So, the Mayans, Nostradamus, and Cayce are not credible sources of information, but rather curiosities of history and culture.

and if youve seen my website I give you the book and authors that point out we are over 230,000 years overdue for the next reversal. I also give plausible reasons why were overdue. There is a reason the prehistoric mammoth found in the glacier had a stomach full of daisys. ..the earths crust shifted.
You are not accurately describing a true pole reversal. A pole reversal is where magnetic North switches places with magnetic South in the Earth's "poles." There is evidence to suggest that this is, by no means, a sudden event (the last occured around 700,000 to 750,000 years ago) and lasts many years. What happens is, probably, the Earth's core is a spinning dynamo of Iron (solid or semi-solid) with a liquid outer core... the spin slows, stops, then reverses, picking up speed, then slows, stops, etc. Continually repeating. There doesn't seem to be any periodicity, as the geologic record of these events do not show it.
This is an invaluable tool for geologists and anthropologists who are attempting to date a geologic strata, as they can compare the orientation of certain magnetically influenced minerals to see where they are aligned. The evidence is also recorded in the Atlantic ridge where the tectonic plates are separating and the magnetic alignments are identical on either side of the ridge.

he said the shift will generate winds of over 500 miles an hour. I read this in the seventys and was scared to find evidence to confirm the possibility.
An unlikely occurrance. There is no reason for the wind to be affected and there is no evidence that it was affected in earlier shifts. The fossil records would show a massive change, perhaps extinction, occurring during a period correlating with the pole shift. None has been noted in any of the many shifts. During the K-T extinction (when the astroid is theorized to have struck the Earth in the area of Belize), there was no pole shift. One occurred 333,000 years prior to the K-T event and another 270,000 years after.
A more likely danger would be the temporary loss of the Earth's magnetic field, causing the rate of skin cancers to increase as some of the Sun's radiation isn't deflected. People who relie on compass navigation will also find problem, but, thankfully, GPS navigation is beginning to dominate. Still, we might have anywhere from 50 to several hundred thousand years to wait.

Spurious and fantastic claims without regard to reason and valid evidence
damage the collective conscious of human kind, not elevate it. This is demonstrated throughout history and can be seen in the witch hunts and inquisition of the dark ages. It can be seen in the slavery of a race of people and the subsequent suppression of knowledge from them. It can be seen in the eradication of 500 nations of people to create 1 dominate country that throws it's weight around the world, sometimes with reason, sometimes without.

"Emissaries" (who guided Moses) and save mankind from certain doom. Chuckle if you want
No chuckle from me... I just want to know what of your evidence indicates that the mythical person Moses was guided by these "emissaries" or that mankind is facing "certain doom." Doom is a possibility, and has been for all of recorded history. It always will be. The probability of "doom" rises and falls. Some believe it is high, some believe it is low at the current time. But, most importantly, I want to see what evidence you have that the alleged visitors to our fair planet are "emissaries." You've met some? Have they spoken to you?

The best proof I can offer is in my very amatuer video made in 1992 that led to 8 feature articles (3 front page) 25 national and international interviews and 3 spots on local TV. Google has listed my discoveries (and movie) 6 times in the first 4 pages out of many dozens.
I applaud you for the attention you've received, but one has to consider that either the Loch Ness Monster or Bigfoot alone received MUCH more attention in the world press and from more credible media organizations... they both proved to be
hoaxes on society. Both of which I applaud their creators, for they've pointed out the gulibility of our species. Both of these hoaxes and others
still have devoted followers who refuse to accept that they were hoaxed!

Who among you has relevant theorys with the press, articles and evidence to back it up and I could give a shit what you do for a living. You want to catch up to me read the first 3 books of the following authors in the following order
T.Lobsang Rampa
Carlos Castanada
Jane roberts
Castaneda is generally regarded as a fraud by most in the Anthropological world. He was granted a Ph.D. by the UCLA Anthropology Department in 1973 for his third book, Journey to Ixtlan. However, most Anthropologists agree the work is not ethnographically accurate and is a work of fiction. He has little, to no credibility and claimed to have become a "disciple of Don Juan!"
T. Lobsang Rampa never existed. The books were written by Cyril Henry Hoskin, the son of a British plumber. He had never visited the Orient.
Jane Roberts and Robert Butts, the authors of Seth Speaks, never seemed to provide any conclusive evidence of their spurious claims. They did, however, seem to start the "channeling" craze and it lives on with charletons like John Edwards today.
SO... as you can see, many of us are quite "caught up." If
you want to get up to speed with us, try reading something by Carl Sagen, Richard Feynman, Richard Dawkins, or any college level textbook on archeology and anthropology. Perhaps one on Geology as well.
