According to ancient mayan calendar 2012 is the year when our planet will be destroyed. Can it really happen though? And what will it bring? Many theories abound about it. Some people believe that the earth is going to be torn apart by some sort of spatial object. This could be a so-called black hole coming too near our solar system. The fabled Planet X, Nibiru, could be returning after its epic orbit around our sun. They reckon that this Planet X will be passing so close to our own planet that its gravitational pull will cause all the damage.
An asteroid slamming into the earth is another theory. But it is scientifically known that no asteroids have an earth bound trajectory in that time period. There will be a “close” asteroid encounter, but this close is actually more than eighteen times the distance from the moon to our earth away. Although in astronomical terms this is close, it is not close enough to cause concern amongst astronomers and scientists.
A geomagnetic reversal event caused by a solar flare is another theory. The reversal will supposedly have the effect of change the two poles polarity, causing massive natural disasters.
