NASA Finally Spills the Beans -- The Truth About 2012
I must apologize for deliberately over-hyping the title of this news item. I got all wrapped-up in the sensationalism surrounding this topic and I just could't resist. Much has been written about the impending approach of the end of the world, as allegedly foreseen by the Maya and represented by the "end" of their calendar on December 21, 2012. Many other assertions, astronomical and otherwise, have also been linked to this date. As 2012 approaches and the mania spreads, even more disaster scenarios are being brought forth for your consideration. In the past few years, NASA has received nearly a thousand questions about 2012. David Morrison, Senior Scientist at the NASA Astrobiology Institute (NAI) tackles the top twenty questions in logical succession and answers each in detail. (Hint: The End is Not Near).
