2012 is now 2116
Rest assured, the end of the world will not take place in 2012. According to recent calculations, the Mayan calendar stop now ... 2116.
The Mayan calendar indicate finally the end of the world for 2116
Some superstitious people will rejoice to learn that under any new calculations, the Mayan calendar announcing the end of the world would end Dec. 21, 2012 in 2116 in fact! Böhm brothers, two German scientists, are in fact published in the journal Astronomische Nachrichtenles "the result of their research, which now lies the end of the world in the next century!
An error of 104 years could be corrected with a code stored in the Mayan Dresden library. Archaeological information compiling data on rituals punctuated by astronomical phenomena, architecture, numerology, religion or the interpretation of hieroglyphics, have also been used.
This is not the first time this December 21, 2012 is disputed. Indeed, many other scientists, like Gerardo Aldana, a researcher at the University of Santa Barbara, had also expressed doubts. You can now feel reassured and sleep in peace, the end of the world is apparently not there for tomorrow!

They miscalculated again, it's actually 2011 tomorrow
@Junoe: Well for me I just want the global come-togetherness. It would be nice.
And then when the world doesn't end, I'd like to laugh about it. Now the new date isn't likely in my lifetime.
Isn`t it the year 2208?
yet there is still the apparent "Judgement day" on May 21st so we have that to look forward to.
Not going to lie, I AM a little disappointed the date changed.
[quote=sb250]When we are in 2116, they will say something like this "oh the calculation is wrong again, the actually calculation should be 2226".[/quote]
I doubt it. 2116 sounds like a reasonable time for the end of the world.

I had it on full blast, that was epic.
how disappointing..
according to another article I read online [ again, anything online has to be taken with a grain of salt, and I don't have the link anymore to re-read it but it was an MSN news article ] the "end" of the mayan calendar isn't even and END, but a resetting of the calendar, and it has "ended"/reset 5 times now. So who really knows.
