First, as I just explained to another ..... I have never claimed that 12/21/12 is THEE date of any kind of doom. I have only claimed that date as the astronomical fact which indeed will happen. Please don't lump my words of differnet contexts into one bucket.
Second, I take it you have not read much into many proheices or ancient writings, outside of conspiracy sites. The texts I have been looking at are about the end of this humanities cycle, wherein yes, humans have always fought - in that you are correct. To take all the writings from all the cultures and put them together, one can easily see the credence they each lend to one another. I lay to claim to no one prophecy or another, I take in everything.
For christ sakes, I was agreeing with you that the hype of doom is overstated, but you are for some reason seeing me as one laying claim to the hype.

".... I dunno what will happen, no one does ...." That's my thoughts as well, no one REALLY knows a damn thing. People like myself might be sensing some big change happening, but if they are realistic about it, that's as far as it goes, to just be open to it.

however, there is too much coincidence in terms of the 2012 mythological prophecies and their association with current NASA studies to simply shrug off the notion that a major event will take place. Something will happen, whether it be the "ascension" mentioned in the post or simply a larger than normal solar flare.

Exactly! It's one thing to disregard thousand year old theories, but when some of the greatest minds of our day (Michio Kaku) are telling us something is going to happen in 2012, then not only should we reassess, or even look at what the ancients said about this time, but should be ready for the scenarios our scientists are saying just may happen.

Kaku does not say something is going to happen in 2012.
1) He says the next solar maximum will occur in 2012. This has since been updated to 2013. Solar maximum is not an event, it is the peak of a cycle. The amount of solar activity will be increasing for the next few years. It will then begin to decrease before increasing once again.
2) The peak of the solar cycle does not necessarily signal a peak in the intensity of solar activity, just in the quantity. An intense solar storm could happen at any time in the next 11 years. An intense solar storm may not happen at all in the next 11 years. There is no way of for Kaku or anyone else to predict such an occurrence.
3) He says that there is a possibility that intense solar activity could create a geomagnetic storm. This is true. There is always such a possibility. Sure, a major geomagnetic storm could cause some real problems. There is no more reason to expect one in Solar Cycle 24 than there was in Solar Cycle 23, or any other cycle.
[edit on 8/3/2009 by Phage]
The panel has decided that the next solar cycle will be below average in intensity, with a maximum sunspot number of 90. Given the predicted date of solar minimum and the predicted maximum intensity, solar maximum is now expected to occur in May, 2013. Note, this is a consensus opinion, not a unanimous decision. A supermajority of the panel did agree to this prediction.
It is during this time of maximum activity, every 11 years, that the solar magnetic field undergoes a reversal. The reversal is not instantaneous, but involves a complex restructuring of the magnetic field which appears to take at least several months....
