Re: DEBUNKING NASA'S "NASA CRUSHES 2012 MAYAN ACPACALYPSE"
OP -- I have a question for you about blazars. Are their jets constantly streaming (or beaming, however you want to phrase it)? Or do they only flare up according to some circumstance?

I'm curious about the blazar that is presumably being emitted from the center of our galaxy, and I wonder what your thoughts are on how it will or will not affect us come December 21, 2012.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1447843

here this is a project NASA has looking into this

[link to www.nasa.gov]
The galaxy in question is PKS 2155-304, a type of object known as a "blazar." Like many active galaxies, a blazar emits oppositely directed jets of particles traveling near the speed of light as matter falls into a central supermassive black hole; this process is not well understood. In the case of blazars, the galaxy is oriented such that we're looking right down the jet.

Im a Mayan... Maya cien por ciento, The end of our calendar its like the end of yours.. like new year.. stop being a bitches and live your lifes.. go n fuck your girls, get fucked up,get wasted.. some some weed.. love your ones!

What is really sad about this post is you probably are of Mayan decent, but you just confirmed what i said earlier about how our culture has been destroyed. You might as well just go live in JewYork

And no there are not many if any American Indian cultures that believe that they are products of interbreeding with alien reptilians

Real astrophysics does generally involve math.
So what do you want me to calculate?
Be specific.
 Quoting: Anonymous astrophysicist



Excellent!

1) Please calculate the forces involved in two docking spacecraft, and prove it is impossible, as you claimed in 2003. Apollo and it's LEM will do, but bonus for, say, the Space Shuttle and the ISS.

2) Please post your scientifically accurate and math proving incontrovertibly that the Moon is hollow, as you claimed you could do.

3) Please show your math proving that impact craters should be oblong, rather than round, as you claimed you could do, and propose a physical experiment demonstrating this. A shotgun in sand should do nicely.

4) Please show your evidence and sources that asteroids velocities are well under 4 kps.

5) Please show your math and cite your sources proving the Moon has the lowest eccentricity of any object in the Solar System, as you have claimed.

6) Please show all your math involving the chemistry and forces involved in the first stage of an Apollo launch. Include the pressures of the various fuels.

Failure to answer each and every one of these questions politely and completely, showing all your math and every step, will leave me no choice but to post up the giant list of embarrassing claims you've made over the years.

Oh, and as a bonus question: Give details on your forthcoming book due out at the end of 2007. Oh, wait. Did you make that up, too?

Re: DEBUNKING NASA'S "NASA CRUSHES 2012 MAYAN ACPACALYPSE"
The end date of the Mayan calendar is 4 Ahau 3 kankin. Kankin is a solar "month" consisting of 20 days. SInce it is a solar calendar date, it happens the same time every year. Kankin means yellow sun, or old sun. The month of Kankin begins on April 9th and ends on April 28th. 3 Kankin is April 12. So as per the inscriptions on countless markers and the Codex Dresden, the end date falls on April 12.

When you combine the Tzolkin date, 4 ahau with the solar calendar (Ha'ab) date you create a cycle where no date name (Ha'ab plus tzolkin) can repeat for 52 solar years. That means that every solar year with the same name has the exact same sequence of dates. The name of the only year where a date called 4 ahau 3 kankin can occur is 2 Etznab.

The only reason Cortes was not killed on site was that the Aztecs believed he could be Quetzalcoatl. Why? Because he arrived in the year Ce Acatl, which coincides with our year 1519-20. This was the year that Quetzalcoatl was supposed to return. Had he arrived any other year the results may have been very different.

The following year was 2 Etznab, the only year the end date can occur.

You can work out for yourselves when the possible years for the end date could have happened by adding 52 to 1520. The only years eligible are 1520, 1572, 1624, 1676, 1728, 1780, 1832, 1884, 1936, and 1988. The next time the year is called 2 etznab will be in 2040.

So 2012 can't be the end date.
The reason why Thompson and Morley's correlation is wrong is because they didn't understand that

1) The years don't always start at the same time of day
2) No leap year day was counted/

The 52 solar years were divided into 4 groups of 13, according to their name and assigned to the four cardinal directions. The years of the east began at sunrise. The years of the north at noon. The west, sunset and the south midnight. Using this mechanism it was not necessary to account for an extra day, because the solar year lasted 365.25 days.

The end date was celebrated at noon, April 12 1988. No doom was predicted. If I am wrong, and I am not because I was there, the date 4 ahau 3 kankin cannot happen again until April 12 2040.

And BTW. Kukulkan is not a Mayan god. He is Quetzalcoatl with a Mayan name and he was imposed on my people by the toltec invaders during the post classic period. As soon as they were defeated and the triple alliance fell, due to the treason of Hunac Ceel, he was discarded by the people.

Well you make a formidable counter argument for the 2012 believers, that's for sure. And your right about Cortes, how coincidental that they arrived on the very year the Aztecs were in wait of their God.

Tell me something, if you know: What is the connection with the Alfa Romeo car manufacture, or the one side to their company logo in relation to Quetzalcoatl?

Here is the sad part, an ocean of souls will feel even more lost should nothing change or occur significantly toward the end of this year. A lot of us are really holding out on this "big change" .

There were a few questions raised about how two separate vehicles weighing many tons and made out of aluminum foil in the case of the lunar module could survive several failed docking attempts. ramming into each other repeatedly, but that' a subject of another thread.

OK, debunk what I have said. Debunk the end date I have given with logic. Provide me with a credible source where Mayans predict any of what you are saying. Tell me this. If you believe that the calendar end date is any date but April 12, how can you believe the Mayans were so advanced if they couldn't even invent a solar calendar that marked the seasons accurately? Obviously the correlation is wrong. It's as obvious as if I told you Easter happens in November.

Re: DEBUNKING NASA'S "NASA CRUSHES 2012 MAYAN ACPACALYPSE"
Here's the core of OP's presentation, for those who don't have the time or patience to wade through the ramblings:



On December 21, 2012:

1. The Earth, the Sun and the galactic center will align. The Earth will be directly between the Galactic center and the Sun. This happens in two dimensions every year, and marks the shortest day of the year.

2. The Earth makes its closest approach to the Sun.

3. The peak of the solar radiation storm cycle occurs.

THE ONE WAY WE KNOW FOR ABSOLUTE CERTAIN THAT WE WILL CROSS THE GALACTIC PLANE ON DECEMBER 21 2012 IS BECAUSE THE MAYAN CALENDER SAYS WE WILL, AND IT HAS A PERFECT RECORD!


The heliosphere is shrinking and we are entering an area of gradually increasing density of interstellar plasma. This 'ribbon' of plasma is the galactic plane, and it will make interplanetary space between the Sun and the Earth far more electrically conductive, increasing the effects of solar radiation storms.

The 'perfect storm' [arises from] a three-dimensional alignment of the Earth, the Sun, and the galactic center as we enter a highly conductive area of plasma. At the same time, the Sun makes its closest approach to Earth, the solar cycle peaks, and the galactic center pulls radiation emissions from the Sun towards the Earth in mid-winter, causing sunspot eruptions as the sunspots align with the galactic center.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1447843

Except the earth and sun will line up with the galactic equator, an imaginary line created by moern astronomers, not the galactic centre. In fact the solar system is moving out of the plane of the galaxy, and away from its centre.

There is no "ribbon of plasma" in the galactic plane. In fact it's hard to define exactly where the galactic plane is, since the accuracy of mapping isn't good enough to define it clearly. There is a lot of plasma, gas, dust and all sorts out there, but it covers a huge volume, and the solar system has been moving through it, with variations in density, for the past 4.5 billion years.

The mayan calendar is irrelevant. There isn't even an agreement as to how it matches our modern calendar, and all the doom-mongers have jumped on one particular interpretation because it has a "cool date" in it.

Finally, the current solar syscle doesn't look like peaking this year - more likely the middle of 2013.

Of course I expect all the prophets of doom to revise their calculations and tell us a new date when we're ringing in the new year for 2013. What I'd like, but don't ever expect to happen, would be for soem of them to come on boards like this and actually apologise for their idiotic doom-mongering...

What if it does not peak in 2013 and continues to misfire?.

 Quoting: government dis-op, alleged expert


Now for the truth:

PROOF THE MAYAN END DATE IS 12/21/ 2012 A.D.



Researchers have known for many decades that the 13-baktun cycle of the Mayan "Long Count" system of timekeeping was set to end precisely on a winter solstice. There is no question in any serious researchers mind about this, or in the minds of Mayan elders themselves . This method of time keeping was implemented 2300 years ago, and therefor disqualifies almost all of what they so called 'debunkers' have claimed. So why did they choose the year 2012 as the end of the long count? There have been numerous archaeological articles relating to the Mayan Long Count and the precession of the equinoxes. None are in disagreement about the date the long count ends, and actual dates on our calender can easily and accurately be correlated to dates on the Mayan calender, which was really just keeping track of the movement of celestial bodies in space.

Here are some basic facts to get you started in truly understanding how the calender keep 'time'.

The Maya were expert astronomers . There abilities in predicting celestial events have never been equaled, using any type of modern time keeping system. Their calender is still accurate to within minutes of accuracy in predicting such events as eclipses, planetary transitions of the Sun, and alignments. so there is no question as to the end date of the long count.The end of the peak period of their civilization is proceeded the arrival of the whites by 500 years, by the time Cortez arrived it had totally collapsed. Why is another thread, and we will get into that later.


In reality, the great Mayan civilization marked by organized trade, and agriculture, the building of huge cities and complex forms of government lasted from @ 200 A.D. to 900 A.D.. Huge ruin sites indicating advanced culture with distinctly Mayan antecedents are being found in the jungles of Guatemala dating back to before the common era.

Before this, the Olmec civilization flourished and developed the sacred count of 260 days known as the tzolkin.

The early Mayans used two distinct and separate time keeping systems, the Short Count and the Long Count.

The Short Count originates from a combination of the tzolkin cycle with the solar year and the Venus cycle of 584 days.
Using this method ,short periods of 13, 52 and 104 years are generated. Fortunately, we don't have to deal with the properties of the so-called Short Count system here because that is not what we are discussing.

. The Long Count system is more abstract, but is also related to astronomical cycles. It is based on cycles of days multiplied at each level by that key Mayan number, twenty:

# of Days Terminology

1 Kin (this is a single day)

20 Uinal

360 Tun

7200 Katun

144000 Baktun

The only exception to multiplying by twenty to get the next time period is the tun , where the uinal period is multiplied by 18 instead to make op the 360 days of the tun.

The Maya simply used this counting system to keep track of an unbroken sequence of days from the time it was developed, counting and recording each day meticulously.

The oldest Long Count date yet found corresponds to 32 B.C. There are Long Count dates in the archeological record beginning with the baktun place value and separated by dots. 6.19.19.0.0 equals 6 baktuns, 19 katuns, 19 tuns, 0 uinals and 0 days. Each baktun has 144000 days, each katun has 7200 days, and so on. If we take the sum of all of the periods of time, we find that 6.19.19.0.0 indicates a total of 1007640 days have elapsed since the Zero Date of 0.0.0.0.0.

The 13-baktun cycle is completed 1872000 days (13 baktuns) after 0.0.0.0.0. This period of time is the so called Mayan "Great Cycle" of the Long Count and equals 5125.36 years.

Now we need to correlate this to a time frame we can understand. We need to determine how the Long Count relates to our Gregorian calendar.

This correlation of Mayan time with "western" time has occupied Mayan scholars since the beginning, but here is a definitive answer! The question we need to answer is when does 0.0.0.0.0 (the Long Count "beginning" point) start in the Gregorian calendar? Well, the Gregorian calender is fundamentally flawed so the question wasn't easily answered.

After years of considering data from varied fields such as astronomy, ethnography, archeology and iconography, it has been determined that 0.0.0.0.0 corresponds to the Julian date 584283, which equals August 11th, 3114 B.C. on our Gregorian calendar.

This means that the end date of 13.0.0.0.0, some 5125 years later, is December 21st, 2012 A.D.1

The interrelationship between the Long Count and Short Count has always been consistent since both were tracked alongside each other in an unbroken sequence since their conception.

Interestingly ,an aspect of the "Short Count" called the sacred tzolkin count of 260 days is still being followed in the highlands of Guatemala.

This last surviving usage of a calendar tradition some 3000 years old supports the correlation of 584283. .

The central point of interest for early Mayan astronomers seems to have been the projected end date in 2012 A.D., rather than the beginning date in 3114 B.C.

Having positively determined the end date in 2012, which i will prove shortly , and calling it 13.0.0.0.0, they believed they themselves were living in the 6th baktun of the Great Cycle.

The later Maya certainly concocted many myths concerning the beginning date, relating it to the birth of their Gods, but it is certain that the placement of the Long Count hinges upon its calculated end point.

The Sacred Tree

The whites are still attempting to answer this question: What is so important about the winter solstice of 2012 and, exactly how were calculations made so accurately, considering that polar precession should make them so extremely difficult that using their own system such accuracy would be impossible to achieve.

A standard 'horoscope' chart for December 21st, 2012 A.D. reveals nothing unusual. The reason for this is obvious, and that is that the horoscope itself is not in any way related to this end date.

The astronomical meaning of the Mayan Sacred Tree.

The Sacred Tree is and can be nothing other than the crossing point of the ecliptic with the band of the Milky Way. The only way this is possible is if the two planes cross each other.

Re: DEBUNKING NASA'S "NASA CRUSHES 2012 MAYAN ACPACALYPSE"


Now for the truth:

PROOF THE MAYAN END DATE IS 12/21/ 2012 A.D.



Researchers have known for many decades that the 13-baktun cycle of the Mayan "Long Count" system of timekeeping was set to end precisely on a winter solstice. There is no question in any serious researchers mind about this, or in the minds of Mayan elders themselves

So what qualifies as a serious researcher? Who in particular would you call serious. Please reference their work. And as for the "elders", just the use of that word in the context of Mayan peoples today and in the distant past shows that you have no idea about anything Mayan. How many "elders" do you know? What are their names? Maybe I know some of them. Maybe not....
This method of time keeping was implemented 2300 years ago, and therefor disqualifies almost all of what they so called 'debunkers' have claimed. So why did they choose the year 2012 as the end of the long count? There have been numerous archaeological articles relating to the Mayan Long Count and the precession of the equinoxes. None are in disagreement about the date the long count ends, and actual dates on our calender can easily and accurately be correlated to dates on the Mayan calender, which was really just keeping track of the movement of celestial bodies in space.

 Quoting: Anonymous astrophysicist 1


It was implemented longer ago than that and it wasn't the Mayans that implemented it. It was the culture we call Olmec. They didn't choose 2012, as I have explained above.

You are right that the calendar is related to the precession of the equinoxes, but not the way you tell it.
Here are some basic facts to get you started in truly understanding how the calender keep 'time'.

The Maya were expert astronomers . There abilities in predicting celestial events have never been equaled, using any type of modern time keeping system. Their calender is still accurate to within minutes of accuracy in predicting such events as eclipses, planetary transitions of the Sun, and alignments. so there is no question as to the end date of the long count.The end of the peak period of their civilization is proceeded the arrival of the whites by 500 years, by the time Cortez arrived it had totally collapsed. Why is another thread, and we will get into that later.


In reality, the great Mayan civilization marked by organized trade, and agriculture, the building of huge cities and complex forms of government lasted from @ 200 A.D. to 900 A.D.. Huge ruin sites indicating advanced culture with distinctly Mayan antecedents are being found in the jungles of Guatemala dating back to before the common era.

 Quoting: Anonymous astrophysicist 1104141


Yes, they depended on agriculture, so as I explained in the previous post, the ha'ab component of the end date will always indicate the same time of year no matter when it happens. The date is 3 kankin, when the sun is old, just before the first transit of the sun on the solar nadir. It can't be December. The culture we call Mayan happened between 100 BC and 1480 AD. There are much older remains of other cultures in Guatemala, Chiapas, Tabasco, Campeche and Quintana Roo that are completely unlike anything Maya, and cannot be shown to be related. Archeological evidence proves that the transition of Olmec to Mayan happened in the area of Izapa, Chiapas, and sadly, most of the evidence is submerged under the Angostura Dam.
The early Mayans used two distinct and separate time keeping systems, the Short Count and the Long Count.

The Short Count originates from a combination of the tzolkin cycle with the solar year and the Venus cycle of 584 days.

 Quoting: Anonymous astrophysicist 1104141

Mostly accurate, except that this system was used to count everything. It's a number system. As for the terminology, yes, I know it and I know what the words mean. Do you for example know why the Uinal is called that? It is important.

The oldest Long Count date yet found corresponds to 32 B.C. There are Long Count dates in the archeological record beginning with the baktun place value and separated by dots. 6.19.19.0.0 equals 6 baktuns, 19 katuns, 19 tuns, 0 uinals and 0 days.

 Quoting: Anonymous astrophysicist 1104141

Right and wrong. The first part is true. 13 Baktuns is equal to 1872000 days, which is equal to 5200 Tun years. But you yourself have referred to the Uinal. The tun year has 360 days because it is a convenient number. But as we all know, the solar year is 365.25ish days long. That's why the ha'ab component is in the calendar, both in the uinal count and the uinal glyph. As you have stated, they were an agricultural people, so the solar calendar had to be as accurate as possible. If what you are saying is true, their seasonal marker would lose one day every four years.

The second part just proves you have never written the days yourself. Remember, the day we count as the leap year did not have to be counted because the days of the different years began at different times of the day. Every time we count Feb. 29th on our calendar, the correlation slips by one day. If you count the days you will find that the start date 4 ahau 8 cumkhu and the end date 4 ahau 3 kankin are 5128 solar years plus 280 days apart. That one day every four years is the reason why people think the 2012 dste is correct. It is an error in the correlation.

After years of considering data from varied fields such as astronomy, ethnography, archeology and iconography, it has been determined that 0.0.0.0.0 corresponds to the Julian date 584283, which equals August 11th, 3114 B.C. on our Gregorian calendar.

 Quoting: Anonymous astrophysicist 1104141


No, see above and do the calculation yourself. The start date is 4 ahau 8 cumkhu which can only happen on July 7th 3140 BC. The short count is used to count between dates. Like the lifetime of a man, or an empire or whatever. Again it is a number system and isn't always, or even usually calender related.
This last surviving usage of a calendar tradition some 3000 years old supports the correlation of 584283. .

Tell me OP. If you are such an expert, tell me what date on our calendar marks the beginning of the Mayan solar calendar?
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 10422385


0.0.0.0.0 corresponds to the Julian date 584283, which equals August 11th, 3114 B.C. on our Gregorian calendar.

And another thing, OP. None of what you wrote addresses any of the points I raised in my first post. You did nothing to deconstruct my arguments and you only provided vague references to "researchers" and supposed "elders". I actually gave the tools needed to verify what I say is true. Try again.

So what qualifies as a serious researcher? Who in particular would you call serious. Please reference their work. And as for the "elders", just the use of that word in the context of Mayan peoples today and in the distant past shows that you have no idea about anything Mayan. How many "elders" do you know? What are their names? Maybe I know some of them. Maybe not....

A native american person without an agenda with a degree in archeology that has an open mind and understands the difference between white science and truth. Certainly not YOU!
 Quoting: Anonymous astrophysicist 1104141


I am native american, part canadian and part nahuatl, my ex wife is Mayan, and that would make my kids half Mayan. They speak 3 different dialects of Mayan. My father in law was a highly respected healer and time keeper. No degree in archeology but have worked with some on digs in Calakmul, Becan, Xpujil, Palenque, Tonina and Xochicalco. You really have no idea and wouldn't know truth if it bit you in the ass. You think you know and have shut out any possibility of learning something new.

I considered your argument and used logic, experience and knowledge gained by following the calendar events in the places where it was perfected. You, on the other hand are not even willing to give me the same consideration. What exactly do you find to be nonsense? That a solar calendar should accurately point to the same time in the solar cycle every year? Or that the people came up with the correlation based on the false assumption that the leap year needed to be counted? Or that by using simple logic and going by the dates we have for Cortes' arrival we can pinpoint a date with which to correlate to the Mayan calendar? Please help me out here. What exactly is nonsense, and have you even tried to verify it? Please prove me wrong with more than accusations and insults, because if you don't it will just look like you are afraid to put your own beliefs to the test.

Well, let's see you metaphorically put your money where your mouth is. What specific prediction can you make regarding 2013 that, if it fails to occur, invalidates your (since I can't think of what else to call it)belief system?
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 74444

Your question makes no sense. We do not believe that 2013 will fail to occur. What will invalidate my belief system is if you are still living in 2013 and able to come here and post to the effect that I was wrong.
I am sure, with your superior intellect, that you can make a specific prediction and experiment that makes these particular ideas falsifiable?


 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 74444


I have made a specific prediction that is not on any way based on the Mayan calender end date. This is strictly incidental from a astrophysical scientific point of view, and the Mayan calender end date involves an strange coincidence of archeological and astrophysicist study. It means something to the Mayans that they chose that particular date and so many coincidences occur on that precise date. What it proves essentially is the intelligent organization of the universe by an intelligent architect of the universe with a specific purpose and meaning.

The prediction I have specifically made is that on 12/21/12 a very specific event will occur, a transfer of electromagnetic and particle energy directly from the sun to the Earth 'pulled' by the electromagnetic forces of the galactic center and involving a high rate of transfer of energy between the Sun and the Earth that will be enabled and magnified by a high density of charged particles between the Earth and the Sun which dramatically decreases the resistance of open space to the transfer of such a discharge. It is like putting a 1000 ohm resistor in the place of 100,000 ohm resistor in an electrical circuit, which the transfer of electromagnetic and electrically charged particle energy between the earth and Sun is.

So you are an archaeologist and an astrophysicist?

As far as your original post goes I don't see where NASA was addressing anyone in particular but rather commenting on many of the popular doom conspiracy theories

Are you really that narcissistic to think that they are after you?

5*'s for interesting read OP. I've read some of your other posts; you obviously have a solid grasp on space doom. What I, and likely many others, have a hard time swallowing is the finality of the Mayan calendar date in a solar system, galaxy and Universe of such massive proportions. Time and events happen at a grander scale and therefore are not correlated to our trivial perceptions on this tiny planet. Just can't buy into the on/off switch of a single date. Maybe as a purely physical transition but not instantious affects on our humanity. Though I deeply, deeply wish you were correct on this.

Please keep your thoughts coming however, I believe you have much to offer.

You have to get over the idea that the end of the long count is the end of the world. It is the end of this world and it's hierarchical structure. We don't all die and the world doesn't end. My people have waited patiently for centuries with anticipation of this event and welcome and look forward to it. The just will lead and the current power structure will be completely destroyed.
It's a good thing. not the end! The beginning!
