Actually the scientific basis for the 2012 theory is that earth is entering the gravitational plane created by the black hole at the center of the Milky Way Galaxy. As we get closer and closer to the middle of the gravitational plane we are supposed to see an increase in large earthquakes, culminating in a pole shift in 2012 when we are smack dam in the center of the plane. The recent wave of earthquakes are just what is predicted. I'm not saying I buy it all, but these events are interesting.
Well... I’m not a physicist, but I don’t think there is any such thing as a “gravitational plane”. Gravity just doesn’t work that way.
I'd like to know how the Aztecs/Mayans knew it was coming. "Old Knowledge" perhaps? If that's the case, what will survive the next one? All of our information is on discs, and memory sticks; and we thought hieroglyphs were hard to read.....
