The month of December has begun, and interest in the end of the world is increasing. They talk about it on the radio, on the street, on Facebook and everywhere else. But of course there is no basis for this
Make no mistake, the end of the world is coming, and it is fast approaching us. The truth is that every day that passes brings us closer to the end of the world in...well, a day.
The universe is not a safe place for living things. In fact, if I didn't stick to scientific evidence, I'd think he was planning to wipe us out. Through a multitude of means, the universe, with infinite determination, will find the way to uproot the earth from its inhabitants; Either through a large asteroid that the Earth interferes with in its orbit around the Sun, or through an eruption of deadly gamma rays created by the birth of a black hole in a distant galaxy tens of millions of years ago, and they are on their way to us at the speed of light.
Even if none of the means of killing fulfill the contract issued to us, the universe also has a contingency plan, a fail-safe mechanism that will ensure our destruction. You should know that we are sitting on a ticking time bomb; Within a billion years our sun, the one we cannot live without, will become brighter and hotter, and will no longer support life on earth. The atmosphere will begin to disperse into space, the sea will boil and evaporate and the ground will melt.
By this time we will have long been scattered in countless colonies in the galaxy, you say. But the bitter end cannot be avoided, and the universe, as mentioned, has a plan that cannot fail.
Within these trillions of years, the galaxies will move very far from each other, the stars will run out of fuel, cool down and turn off, and cold darkness will spread the remaining energy across the expanses of the universe until nothing is left.
If you are encouraged that an end is always a beginning, then this end is not. my condolences
And what about December 21, 2012? My advice is to avoid actions that you will regret when the world continues to exist the next day.
If you fear an encounter with the planet Nibiru, a planetary alignment, the reversal of the magnetic poles, and the like, it will be useful for you to read This post, which explains why all these are gibberish nonsense and nothing else.
The Mayans did not predict the end of the world, and were not smarter than us or any other human culture. They were people who, among other things, took great pains to record and study the movement of the celestial bodies, and to produce calendars from them.
Their calendar system does not end this year, nor in a year or a decade. They had cycles like ours have weeks, months and years. The Baktun, the cycle that is approximately 396 years long, which ends this year, is not their biggest cycle, and when it ends, a new one begins.
The Bakton is part of a longer cycle that lasts about 7,885 years, which is also part of a longer cycle. The Mayan calendar can last until the end of their great cycle, 'Alautun', which is over 63 million years long. Will the world end then? No. There will be lots of discounts in the shops, decorations on the streets, and people will bless each other with a new and happy Eloton.
In the meantime, beware of people who claim to know the future. This is complete charlatanism and exploitation of innocent people. Think about it this way - if it were really possible to know about events in advance, wouldn't it be possible to use this knowledge for political or military needs, for profits in the stock market or in strategic consulting for commercial companies and insurance companies?
Foretelling the future (whether by the stars, names and dates, folds in the skin of the palm, or coffee grounds) is probably the easiest supernatural ability to prove because all that is needed is to wait and see, and yet no reasonable evidence of its existence has ever been presented.
So don't go suckers. 2013 will arrive as planned and will be full of joys and worries, disasters and celebrations. believe me. Check it out. And if the world ends before then, I'll eat my laptop.

Maybe it's 2102 and everyone thought it was 2012
Like I said there will be no end of the world 😉
You can breathe easy.
At this point the only success... is in the field of education. I would love to meet you and show you things. In the meantime, you are welcome to visit my website. By the way, an empty group is still nothing, after all, all groups are built from it, right?
Moshe,
Tiresome repetition of nonsense does not make them better over time, even sentences without real content such as: "I think the idea of the end of the world is excellent if we only know how to use it correctly. We need to understand more deeply the culture of the Mayan tribe, their different concept of time and of course their contribution to the establishment of the concept of 0."
As you wrote, they do not contribute anything.
If all you want is a more efficient way to write (represent?) nothing, then surely the description: "just write nothing" or "a smooth page" is certainly not the right way to achieve this. There is a much better agreed symbology such as for example the concept of the empty group. But I don't think that what you really want is "that we think of a more effective way to write nothing" but your repeated and tedious explanations do not help to understand what you do want to say. If it can be taught in kindergarten but you can't explain what you want even after several responses, then you should already reach the necessary possible conclusions...
You also ignored the simple question I asked you: "What is the alternative shrouded in mystery, which is not at all clear what it is, better?" Can you present her successes in any field other than in your mind?”
And yes, I know Srinivasa Ramanujan and also George Spencer Brown, and I allow my colleagues to assume from your responses so far that I know them and their work better than you do, and that still doesn't even remotely help me understand what you want to say. Maybe try to answer the question I asked you at the beginning?
0 means nothing but is still a real sign. The new way to mark nothing is simply not to write anything, that is, a piece of paper. The simplest operation in mathematics is not identifying a quantity but pointing to an object and separating it from its surroundings. This operation can be marked with parentheses () There are two axioms of reduction
()=()()
= (())
In the second exercise there is no mistake on the right side of the equation there is nothing.
A form is a legal combination of parentheses that can be reduced with the help of the axioms to () or to nothing, for example:
= (()) =(()())
It resembles binary logic but it is richer and contains the normal logic as a special case. The power of this language is in the combination between serial thinking and parallel thinking. This is a paradigm shift in mathematics that can certainly fit the prophecy of the Mayan tribe.. It can be taught to children in kindergarten!
Moshe Klein, if I understood correctly - your idea is based on the fact that 0 = nothing.
Now, 0 is a neutral number, the assumption that 0 = nothing is wrong.
If I didn't understand correctly, you will have to explain and please, as many explanations as possible, less nonsense.
Moshe, you could just write 'Kishkoosh-by Kishkoshon'
the last camila,
I think the idea of the end of the world is excellent if we only know how to use it correctly. We need to understand more deeply the culture of the Mayan tribe, their different concept of time and of course their contribution to the establishment of the concept of 0. What I'm asking you to think about is that there is a more efficient way to write nothing than 0. Just write nothing. A smooth sheet of paper. If you want to delve more into the practice there is a book called The Laws of Form written by Spencer Brown. In any case, you must be aware of the existential danger of humanity thanks to... the science and technology you want to brag about. The new mathematics does develop first of all the brain and creates a new perception of reality. Have you ever heard of the Indian mathematician Ramanujan?
Moshe Klein,
What on earth are you talking about? What alternative is there to the mathematics and science that we have today and that has proven itself countless times (look around you for a moment and imagine all the things you use during your day which are a result of that mathematics and science), what is the alternative shrouded in mystery, which is not at all clear what it is, better? Can you visualize her successes in any field other than in your mind?
Professor Shay, as someone who participated for 12 years in the archaeological digs in Gamla under the direction of Shmaria Gutman, allow me to comment that archaeologists are unable to contradict a prophecy for the future. After all, there are still two weeks left in 2012. I am not claiming that the end of the world will come. But I definitely think that the time is ripe today for the end of Euclidean thinking that dominated the mathematics and science of the Western world for over 2,000 years... and it is definitely happening!
http://www.mako.co.il/news-world/international/Article-b4ec26ea93c0831018.htm
Watch it!
You can breathe easy because it won't happen!!!!!!!!!!
Obviously, but how can one distinguish between mere mysticism and a real revolution that in any case must break the accepted frameworks?
And it is important to me that the readers understand what they are reading, there are enough New Age reflections on other sites.
Father, I would appreciate it if you didn't block me with knowledge. It is important for me to try and offer here a positive mathematical interpretation of the idea of the end of the world. I suggest "the end of the Euclidean world" by marking nothing with nothing and not with 0.
Avi Blizovsky,
You can block Moshe Klein without much remorse.
He published this comment in other articles of yours (regardless of the articles themselves).
He posted his comment 3 times in this article alone - meaning he is becoming more and more obsessed.
You can see my comment about it from December 5, which proves that he has no reason to write about it.
If the end of the world is coming then I start raping....!
No, I'm sorry, it's not relevant, because in this game everything connects to everything and again you're breaking the rules. You really didn't contribute anything except interrupting the sequence of relevant comments.
Abby, I think my response definitely relates to the topic of the article on how to prepare for the end of the world. What I suggest is to translate it into something a little more intelligent like "the end of the Euclidean world". After all, general relativity did this using non-Euclidean geometry. You can of course say that the idea of the "laws of form" is nonsense or delusional but I really intended to take it seriously and contribute something to the topic of the article.
Moshe, one of the rules for participating in the comments system of the site of knowledge is to respond to the topic of the article and not to free topics. For this purpose there is a page called "general comments"
What is the most basic thing in mathematics? is that the number Is it a point or maybe a line?
After years of research and work in kindergartens I came to the conclusion that there is a deeper and more basic concept than them. It is the act of pointing at an object and separating it from its surroundings. This operation can be marked with parentheses (). Mathematician George Spencer Brown published an innovative book called "The Laws of Shape" in which he defines two simple axioms for this operation:
()()=()
= (())
Here is a simple exercise for example (()())=(())=
It is a complete mathematical system containing the usual laws of logic as a special case. It turns out that the operation of differentiation is basic and precedes the concept of number.
This coming Friday 21.12.12 the whole world will talk about the prophecy of the end of the world. The source of the prophecy is that on this date the Mayan calendar ends. The Mayan tribe was very developed and contributed to mathematics through the use they made of representing numbers in base 20 and whence the concept of the number 0 as a placeholder and an agreed sign for nothing.
This invention can be advanced one more step. If we allow a marker for anything that is not 0 but simply a smooth sheet of paper. The process of profound change in mathematics and human consciousness can and should be started already in kindergarten
Oh yes they celebrated even though they don't even believe in it in order to increase the fear among the people and more people will be afraid of it .. and they themselves don't believe in it simply shame and disgrace for what they did people tried to kill themselves because they only heard the end of the world and don't know that even that is a lie and a lie
I don't know but look for someone who answered it here.
And by the way, I read a nice article by someone who is an expert on the Mayan tribe, but an expert and he himself said that it will not happen as I told you at the beginning and the expert on the Mayan tribe also said that there is no evidence that it will happen, in the registration documents of the Maya there is not even a hint about it and all their prophecies are in the registration documents there .
I saw the following video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SGpNZmniJ_Q
Now, this is somewhat consistent with what is written, more or less, in the only Maya texts that may be talking about 2012. You can find information about them on Wikipedia.
Now - in the article published last week in News 2, it was said that the Mayans started celebrating, why?
They just want to make money from this rumor..
and try to increase the reputation of the Mayans
Don't believe them, they can say..
And what about the New Age believers who believe that there will be a global shift in consciousness on 21.12.2012 and humanity will move into a spiritual age, and who believe that people need to "wake up and ascend spiritually" in order to reach this age?
It's not that I'm copying, it's things I know..
And don't worry about certainty, many people I know don't believe this nonsense.
Professor Xi, I'm doing a lot of research on why this won't happen and I have enough proof. The concern is the uncertainty.
Second, what you wrote in this response is not proof, it is information and you also copied it from one of the articles on the site, which I read a long time ago.
I didn't prove it you say.. I laughed out loud I bring you many proofs but you don't understand them.
They counted in multiples of 20 - about the number of fingers and toes together and they also considered all the joints in the body - 13 in number. Multiplying the two numbers gave 260 days, the time it takes to grow corn or complete a human pregnancy.
The archaeologists and mythology researchers on the one hand believe that the Mayans saw an era of light on the day 13.0.0.0.0 in fact there is no evidence that they believed that the day of judgment would strike us. If anything, the Mayans predicted religious miracles, and not a bad thing.
Confidential, grow your head and stop investigating why this would happen, because any 4-year-old child can open a website and lie to you.
As a professor to a wise man I give you advice, start researching why it won't happen...
YouTube, so there's a longer cycle than the Bacton and it's the Picton?
By the way - since the base numbers of the Mayan calendar are 13 and 20, there is a theory that at the end of the 13th Bacton (which will end on December 21, 2012), an unusual, catastrophic event will happen. But in the Mayan tribe there were also those who counted mainly on the basis of 20, so there is a theory that the great cycle of the Mayans will end after the 20th Bakton.
Professor Shay, it is very nice to copy the first part of Amnon Carmel's article on this topic, so far you have not proven anything here.
So we want more proof that it won't happen.
A few months ago, a blockbuster movie was released about the doomsday that is supposedly going to happen in 2012. The persistent rumors about the doomsday made many people believe that maybe "there is something to it", and the latest disaster movie only increased the hysteria and rode the commercial wave created as a result. I have known this rumor for many years, but am surprised every time to find out how a stupid and baseless belief becomes the talk of the town among people of all races, genders, religions and cultures.
Professor Shay, did you read just one comment of mine, take it out of context, and decide that I believe this nonsense and am trying to scare people - or do you have a reading comprehension problem?
I think I should be more clear - I'm so sure it's bullshit that I barely bothered to read about it.
That's why "confidential :)" You did more serious research than I did, so what does it matter what I believe?
I believe that the end of the world will come when the current picton ends on October 12, 4772, and if not I cut the seventh.
(For those who have difficulty understanding what is being read, this is called a "joke" search on Wikipedia)
Professor Xi, give examples. (please punctuate)
Listen, I researched during 10 years the entire 21.12.2012 it won't read and I will bring you even my smallest proof that will be enough to make you understand that it won't happen.
There is no and I will repeat it again there is no proof that it will happen but there is not even a shred of proof nothing but nothing and YouTube instead of lying to people and making them afraid grow up and learn more about it and you will understand how wrong this is.
YouTube, which option do you believe more?
And it is precisely because of the first option that people are afraid. Do you understand? I'm not the kind of person that these rumors will make him celebrate.
The thing is the lack of acknowledgment of these rumors. Despite the probabilities suggesting that the second option is more realistic, there is still concern among some people about the first option.
But there are some points that are still difficult for me to understand - at least until now, there is only a date, no time.
The second point, for now there are no signs of unusual events in 2012. If, as they say in NASA and in many articles on websites that deny the 2012 theories, there are no threats on 21.12.2012, no asteroid, comet or meteor is on its way to Earth, the planet Nibiru does not exist and the Maya do not believe that an unusual event will happen on 21.12.2012 (but However, some kind of descent of their gods is noted, and it is noted that this is a special event for the Maya tribe), how will this come about? Suddenly, just like that?
Moshe Klein.
Contrary to the impression you are trying to create, the book did gain the attention of mathematicians and philosophers (it is mainly a book about philosophy than mathematics) - and was translated into several languages.
He did not invent new mathematics but only a more efficient form of algebra - which is beautiful in itself, but not unique. There were similar works before him.
And most importantly, there are mathematicians who expanded his work and built on it and reached interesting achievements (free translation from Wikipedia).
So that way you can relax - he got the necessary publicity, and there is no need for you to bring up the subject in every article you imagine might be related to the matter - you do it a lot and regardless of the articles.
So here you have finally received the response and attention you are so looking for and there is no need for a third and irrelevant response of yours to the subject.
So what can happen on 21.12.12
The various media are now recalling the prophecy that on 21.12.12 the end of the world will come! Looks like it's going to be just like the fuss over nothing that was around the 2,000 bug. But you can still get out of it with dignity. The source of the prophecy is in the calendar of the Mayan tribe which is supposed to end on this date. This tribe was very developed and contributed to the use of the number 0. Try to see how you would write large numbers without this number. The zero represents nothing but has a sign.
Try now to think of nothing that has no sign. Just a plain sheet of paper. sounds strange? It turns out that based on this idea, an English mathematician named George Spencer Brown published a revolutionary book called the Laws of Shape. He managed to base mathematics on one operation called differentiation, which is more basic than the concept of number. It can be compared to the discovery of the theory of relativity by Einstein in 1905. Einstein was lucky, he worked as a clerk in a patent company, but within a year he was recognized by the academic establishment. 40 years have passed since the publication of the book Laws of Form and Spencer, who is still almost anonymous, lives in a remote village in the south of England and is now approaching 90 years old.
But who knows, maybe a miracle will happen and because many people will discuss the question of whether the end of the world will really come on 21.12.12 attention will finally be directed to a real and actual thing that can really do us all something good.
The act of differentiation is pointing to an object and separating it from its surroundings. This allows science to be developed in a new way that gives a legitimate place to the observer, i.e. to man. You don't need to build a particle accelerator for this or discover the God particle. Science today, in the name of apparent objectivity, creates a technology that fulfills the desire of the viewer not to exist. Without the recognition of the new mathematics, it is possible that the end of humanity is approaching, just as Newton predicted the time of the end of the world.
human garden
Confidential, see there are 2 options:
1. The world will end - then what are you going to do the day before? Sit at home and cry or go out to party, drink and blow tons of money - as if there is no tomorrow (because there really is no tomorrow).
2. The world has not ended, so we should definitely celebrate.
From now on, at least two days of celebration - let's go in style!!!
YouTube, the Mayan tribe published already at the beginning of the year that they remind again that they do not believe in these prophecies, but they hope that more tourists will come.
On the other hand, I don't understand what should be done about this matter when in the background there are rumors about the "Judgment Day" on 21.12.2012/XNUMX/XNUMX.
Max, you're right, but still - they had extensive enough knowledge to build some pretty impressive structures.
The end of the world will come on December 31, 2012.
I have a calendar at home and it ends on December 31, 2012 ... after that date there is nothing - the end of the calendar, a blank page!
I bought another 38 calendars from different publishers - all unexpectedly ended on December 31, 2012.
Conclusion - the end of the world will come in a terrible catastrophe on December 31, 2012, followed by a blank white cardboard sheet!
Confidential, first of all it is excellent that you compare different sources of information, this is how you should do in every field and not believe only one source even if it is scientific.
If there is a contradiction between several sources, you have to decide which source is more reliable - uses more scientific tools, is open and responds to criticism, proves his words more logically, is supported by more evidence, etc.
The reasons that the Mayans started celebrating the end of the world - even those who don't believe in it - are:
This is a reason to celebrate with food, drink, singing and dancing (with a good chance of sex).
Raising awareness of the Mayan culture and the Mayan people - which is also good from a social and perhaps political point of view.
And finally, the most important thing is tourism!!
You should stick to the facts, the Mayan tribe were quite backward, they had not yet invented the wheel, the use of iron and the processing of complex metals such as bronze, they did not know how to make sophisticated weapons and the use of gunpowder.
YouTube, first of all I would like to mention that it is not known exactly when the Mayan countdown began, so there is also the possibility that the Bakton will end on December 23 or 24, 2012.
Regarding the question - yes. In many articles I find that "the Mayans prophesied a transition to the fifth world when the 13th Bakton comes to an end". Since I find this claim a lot in articles by New Age believers, I am confused about this whole matter - on the one hand, there are New Age believers who claim that "the transition to the fifth world is indicated in the Mayan prophecy". On the other hand, there are the Mayans that researchers have come to the conclusion that they claim that they never predicted a large and unusual event in 2012, yet it was published in the last article I saw (on Channel 2's weekend news) that they started the end of the world celebrations.
Confidential, it's a shame you didn't go to the link I attached above - here it is again
http://www.calendarhome.com/converter/mayan.html
There is a short explanation about the Mayan calendar and it consists of cycles, you can of course also search on Wikipedia.
As stated in the article on 21.12.12 ends in Acton. But Buckton ends every 396 years or so and nothing special happened the last time it ended.
To your question, is it New Age, of course it is New Age and some other crazy people of different types.
The question is why does it matter to you if it is New Age or a Mayan prophecy?
Do you think Mayan legends are truer than New Age bullshit?
sharletani laAALLLAAA
1. Where does the claim that the Mayan calendar is a cyclical calendar come from?
2. I often hear the following claim: "The Maya tribe did not predict that the world would come to an end on 21.12.2012. According to the Maya tribe, humanity will move to the fifth world." This is a spiritual world, the question is - is this a Mayan prophecy, if anything was prophesied for 21.12.2012, or is it a modern New Age prophecy?
For the food...
oh point…
I saw an article on News 2 about this, broadcast over the weekend. They said there that the Mayans had already started the end of the world celebrations, even though the modern Mayans don't believe it. Why should they celebrate an event if they don't believe in it?
Funny 🙂 I enjoyed reading... In any case, we'll breathe a little easier when the date passes...?
Don't believe anyone. The black hole is already here. Look how the sun is getting dimmer and dimmer.
In another 20 days the earth will be swallowed by the black hole for two hours.
I told you.
The origin of the belief in the end of the world in this month is in the Mayan calendar. This tribe contributed to the use of the number 0. This, of course, greatly strengthened the use of numbers. It is possible to define mathematics where the void does not need any sign, it simply sleeps. This mathematics was discovered already 40 years ago and was published in the book Laws of Shape. It is possible to get out of the disproved prophecy about the end of the world with dignity if the scientists get to know and take an interest in the new mathematics.
The Chinese believe in the end of the world and plan for the end of the world!
You are right that the bacton does not mark the end of the world, but the universe is destroyed and rebuilt every picton which is a 7885 year cycle. The current picton ends on October 12, 4772.
http://www.calendarhome.com/converter/mayan.html
Now seriously - it is very sad to hear about people in the US seriously asking what is the best way to commit suicide so as not to suffer on 21/12/12.
"Their calendar system does not end this year, nor in a year or in a decade. They had cycles like ours have weeks, months and years. The Baktun, the cycle that is approximately 396 years long, which ends this year, is not their biggest cycle, and when it ends, a new one begins.
The Bakton is part of a longer cycle that lasts about 7,885 years, which is also part of a longer cycle. The Mayan calendar can last until the end of their great cycle, 'Alautun', which is over 63 million years long. Will the world end then? No. There will be many discounts in the stores, decorations on the streets, and people will bless each other with a new and happy Eloton."
1. How do you know that the Mayan calendar is a periodic calendar?
2. What, if anything, do the Maya predict for 21.12.2012?
