Is it just me or have other people noticed that there seems to be much more talk these days of the end of the world? Its probably just people assuming 2012 will be the date.
Either way this scare does serve a useful purpose, it seems to me that humanity is finally starting to realize how vulnerable we are. Its almost like a global awareness is dawning that there are many ways to cause mass extinction and its only a matter of time when the next one occurs (ignoring the fact scientists say we are in a mass extinction right now caused by human factors).
But the scary part is that our sun is going to approach and cross the galactic plane in 2012, something which has not happened in humanities history and we dont know what effects this will have if any.
Thoughts?
