So the Mayan calender's end in 2012 is supposed to line up with a polar shift or something? Interesting.

If it's true, I'm astonished that the Mayans would be capable of predicting these sorts of things so far in advance. Or perhaps the secret to predicting this is actually quite simple, and is hiding in plain sight.

Who knows? (not me)

Dont have a clue....what I do have a talent for...is connecting seemingly unrelated events to their real effects...

This comes in REAL handy as an electrician when trying to troubleshoot a problem...

I've learned to trust my own intuition...

I have a sneaking hunch that someday (I hope to live that long) science will in fact prove things once only accepted by faith...

I firmly believe in the existence of the soul...it's the only logical thing that separates your atomic make up, from the atomic make up of the stuff that surrounds you...

I'd go into some of my more intriguing theories...

But I'm in no mood for a ZOT...I like this place....hehehe

The Mayan's (and many other ancient civilizations) were tuned into the precession of the equinox, perhaps caused by a wobble in the earth's alignment with the sun, perhaps caused by the sun's binary companion. Whatever, there is an 11,000 year cycle that is synchronous with ice age cycles on earth. Ancient civilizations recognized this long cycle, and passed on this knowledge in myth.

Were it not for the current global warming phenomenon, we would be quickly entering the next periodic ice age, the age of Aquarius.
