    Nope, sorry 2012 will be a year just like 2009.

    2012 is a complete 100%, junk science, HOAX. Not one reputable scientist believes it. Watch the famous astronomer Neil Tyson MAKE FUN OF the 2012 hoax:

    Even NASA has a web site that debunks 2012. Read it here:

    http://astrobiology.nasa.gov/ask-an-astr%E2%80%A6

    2012 is a COMPLETE HOAX. As for the Mayans, they really knew absolutely nothing about the universe. Remember they worshiped THE SUN GOD! and regularly cut people's heads off to please their "god".

    They watched the "lights" in the sky and took good notes. Many other ancient civilizations had very accurate calendars which they used for farming and religious ceremony. The Mayans thought the world was the shell of a gigantic turtle! Good grief!

    The "proof" against it is that we know who invented the stories that have been combined to form the Big 2012 Hoax.

    Some of them do it to get your money. Either because they sell books and videos on how to survive, because they sell survival kits or, in the case of Sony Pictures (the ones who are doing the most about it right now) because they want to create hype about the movie called "2012" coming out in the Fall.

    The second group (survival kits) are "selling" space in underground bunkers. In order to make their scam more believable, they have decided to use Bill Gates' name. 'Surely, if Bill is building them, it must be true.'

    It is not true. Bill is NOT building any survival underground bunkers.

    In any case, the original hoax calls for a global tsunami (an idea taken from the Biblical Flood story). If Bill really thought it was real, he would be building an Ark, not going underground where he would be the first one to drown. Come on.

    ---

    Bill's real house does have an underground portion that is not safe from global flooding. However, it is a convenient way to have a very large house without having much of it show above ground (the above ground portion looks like a bunch of separate cottages). The underground portion allows for easy access from one portion to the other and provides much better support for his giant "aquarium" -- one room has a special plate-window wall that looks into a lake.

    The "safe" part of the description comes from the fact that the property is very well protected against intruders (the human kind) and electronic attacks (e.g., hackers).

    The burden of proof lies with those trying to justify this hoax, not with sober scientific types who know it has no basis in fact.

    As for Mr. Gates, perhaps he is building underground shelters and perhaps he isn't. I certainly don't know. But there are plenty of scenarios for the end of the world, and for almost ends of the world, that don't include the various elements of the 2012 hoax, and any of them are quite possible, however unlikely.

    For the richest guy on the planet, building an underground shelter would be just like a regular person having collision coverage on their car - a sensible precaution that you hope you'll never have to use.

  • 2012 is a joke, there is not one shred of proof to support the whole world ending in 2012 hoax.

    As for Bill Gates i assume he is building an underground bunker for the same reason Tom Cruise is spending 10 million on a bunker as well. The reason is there both eccentric (Crazy) and have too much money laying around.

    There is no scientific evidence that the world is going to end in 2012.

    There is no evidence that Bill Gates is building any underground safe houses to survive any catastrophe.

    there is no clinical evidence that the international will end on Dec 21, 2012. it extremely is in basic terms the appropriate day of the Mayan long Calendar. The Gregorian Calendar, it quite is what we use starts off on January 1st and ends on December thirty first. of direction the international does not end on December thirty first, in basic terms the three hundred and sixty 5 days. the subsequent day, we turn the calendars over to January and initiate up the present 3 hundred and sixty 5 days. A calendar isn't something greater suitable appropriate than a thank you to be unsleeping a cycle of time. The Mayan calendar is plenty longer than the Gregorian Calendar (5126 Years) no count if it too will in basic terms initiate up in the time of returned. The Mayans perceived the proper of the long Calendar as a results of reality the beginning up up of a clean enlightenment. we glance on the present 3 hundred and sixty 5 days of the Gregorian Calendar as a beginning up as much as initiate up greater suitable appropriate habit, it quite is why human beings make New 3 hundred and sixty 5 days's resolutions. it extremely is the appropriate way i visit placed it into physique of concepts for individuals who're afraid that they gained't awaken on December 22, 2012. you will likely hear distinctive subject concerns approximately image voltaic Storms, and image voltaic Magnetic Pole Reversals that are additionally because of the fact of happen around 2012 no count if it extremely is in difficulty-unfastened phrases twist of destiny that an 11 3 hundred and sixty 5 days image voltaic cycle ought to desire to coincide with the Mayan Calendar hype. extremely each guy or woman who replaced into born interior the previous February 2001 (very final reversal) has already experience a image voltaic Magnetic Pole Reversal and specific did not understand it. this theory is in basic terms alongside with gasoline to the 2012 Alarmists' fire.

    This question gets asked about every half hour, most recently here:

    As for the Bill Gates thing, I have no idea whether your claim is true or not, but people have been building survival shelters for decades because there are people willing to make money selling them. It used to be because "the commies were going to kill us". More recently it was supposed to be because in 2000 all the world's computers would crash, electrical power would all stop, we'd all go back to the stone age and you and I would be attacking the poor survivalists holed up in their shelters.

    There will be no year 2012.

    According to the Bible, the world will end in 2011.

    Repent everyone. Cry to God for His mercy.

    His wrath is soon to poured out upon the earth.

    Someone is literally asking this every five effing minutes. IT'S A FRAKKING LIE. There is no proof supporting it, and even what people would have you believe, any theory has proof against it. As I always say, it's a crock of you know what type of stuff from you know which animal.

    Source(s): Roland Emmerich believes it will. Is this not proof enough?
