He didn't triple post, I don't think. The other people just deleted their's.

How exactly is the world rotating in the opposite direction supposed to end life? Won't we just have to set our clocks ahead or something? Or a world-wide dispute/war about what day it is?

lol, no its because if it happened suddenly the world would stop and rotate in the opposite direction could rip mountains and such because we are moving so fast... also the magnetics would get screwed up so yay... sorry about triple post thing.

...learn your facts before you start talking.
What will happen is that the interior rotation of the earth's liquid core will change direction, causing a reversal of the earth's magnetic poles.
There is no earth shattering whatever, so person, stop being stupid, not everything dies.
The danger however, is that during the transition from one side to the other, our magnetic field will be f***ed up and radiation levels on earth are going to rise a significant amount.
We aren't all gonna die, it's just gonna be interesting.
Even then, it's still going to be a good 5k years at least.

Well put 666, could not have corrected everyone who posted here better myself.

Thanks for explaining it 666.

These disaster stories are too over hyped, and if it does happen, we're not going to die, as 666 said, we'll just see some interesting things happening. Not much else.

Another fact to remember is that the Maya did not say the world would end in 2012 rather that was where their calender ended.

Everything is fine until the computers stop working...

I hope that this and the 2014 'giant gas cloud destroys us' are just some stupid rumours.


I'll shut up now.

I still stick to the theory that, more likely than not, we'll end up destroying ourselves.

I mean, polar reversal? Seriously, thats gonna affect us for no longer than a year. And ripping up mountains..? Now that was just plain retarded. If it can rip mountains from the ground because of the sudden reversal of spin, SURELY we'd simply be torn apart by the same forces that pulled them from the ground.

Anyways, yeah, polar reversal will happen sometime soon. Big deal. Like many people have said anyway, apocalypse stories are WAY too overhyped nowadays.
