the end of the world 2012
What are your thoughts on the world ending?
in 2012.
It's been said that the world will end in December of 2012. AJ seems to think that he would waste his money and time starting college in the fall of 2012, if the world will end in December.
So many theories, so many thoughts, what are yours?
Argument #1 to Enroll in College -
The world could end at any moment. I don't know for sure that I'll get to finish typing this sentence. Whoa. I made it!
Seriously, we are majorly overdue for a large asteroid to completely destroy us - geological history has shown that we're overdue, and one could smack into us at any moment. Yes, we have scientists and machines watching the skies all the time - but here's the creepy part - they're only watching for asteroids big enough to destroy the ENTIRE earth. They don't even scan for asteroids small enough that they only wipe out a large country or continent. So any moment - BOOM!
And lest we forget the threat of super volcanoes. Seriously! Yellowstone park is one large exposure of the earth's mantle. Given the right tectonic stress it could turn into a volcano capable of wiping us out in a matter of days. We may have no warning.
Argument #2 to Enroll in College -
That whole Mayan thing might not exactly be true or as devastating as some would fear.
The Mayan calendar doesn't actually end in 2012 as some have claimed (source, source) - it starts another cycle in their calendar. And, "the last time a Great Cycle restarted was September 18th, 1618, and surprisingly, the world did not conclude. Nor did it on June 15th, 1224, or on March 13th, 830. There is no evidence anywhere in the archaeological record of Mayans who associated the restarting of the Great Cycle with cataclysm." (source). You see, the Mayans looked at time and calendars as cyclical, instead of being in straight lines. So the long count calendar which people use to calculate the date of the "end of the world" could/should easily be viewed as just the end of a cycle - not the end of the world.
Plus even the Mayans believed that the "passing of an entire cycle as a great accomplishment and time of rejoicing" (source). Many believe this will be - if anything - an age of rebirth and a new era of humanity and the earth.
Besides, nostradamus didn't think the world would end until 3797. So we've got a little more time on our hands.
Conclusion - Whether an asteroid wipes out humanity, or you get hit by a bus going to get the mail tomorrow, there's no reason not to live for today. And besides, if the world is really going to end, then he hasn't wasted his money at all, now has he? And even if life was too short, college and educating yourself is never a waste of time or a waste of life. Tell him to be cool, stay in school! Mr. T says so.

Volcanic ash affects flights worldwide
An airline passenger waits for a flight at Manchester Airport. Hundreds of flights worldwide were canceled as volcanic ash from Iceland swept across northern Europe, causing eight countries to close their airspace amid warnings of days of disruption.

Nope. Volcanoes have always been around, and they've always spewed ash.
You're going to be able to find volcanoes erupting around the world at any time of the day. This one is just positioned in such a way that it interferes with our flight paths. The same kind of volcanoes would have erupted in the past, but wouldn't have mattered so much at the time since the people back then would have been restricted to traveling on the ground.
