We've all heard about this. Most ancient calendars, numerous prophets, and even a computer program have predicted that on 21 December, 2012 something will happen that changes the world forever.
One science-backed theory predicts that on 12/21/12 the Earth and the Sun will align perfectly with the Super Massive Black Hole in the center of the galaxy and we will cross the "galactic equator." One of the more interesting side effects of this cross over would be the mantel of the Earth shifting, so that North America may actually end up on the current South Pole. This would cause massive earthquakes and tsunamis, so it may very well be the apocalypse everyone has predicted. Other theories include Judgement Day, Global Warming reaching a climax, and many other dooms day scenarios.
