The myth of 2012
Black-Hole gravitational ecliptic apocalypse theory
The theory assumes the existence
of a super-massive black hole at the center of our galaxy, that is exerting a
gravitational pull on all things in the galaxy. The black hole is also deemed
rotating extremely fast in the form of flattened disk so that the bulk of its
gravity is concentrated along a thin plane of the galactic ecliptic. It is
deemed that the solar system is passing through this gravitational plane in
2012, whereby the black hole's gravitational force on the Earth become vastly increased, causing
enormously destructive earthquakes, tidal flooding, and volcanic eruptions -
literally causing the end of the world as we know it. The scenario is based on
the fact that on the winter solstice (December 21) in 2012, the Sun at dawn
appears in a direct line between the Earth and the galactic center, point c. It is
thereby deemed that the Earth is in this manner precisely aligned with the
hyper-gravity band at the galactic ecliptic (the black hole equator).
The reality is far
from it.
Our solar system is located
approximately 28,000 light-years from the center of our galaxy. If a super massive
black hole did exist at the center of the galaxy, for which there exists no
evidence, it would have no has no effect on the earth across this huge distance.
The Sun in comparison is only 9 light-minutes distant from the earth. Since the
effect of gravity diminishes with the square of the distance, no amount of
gravity would significantly affecting us across a space of 28,000 light-years. We
are simply too far away for that. Nor is the solar system anywhere near the
galactic ecliptic, and likely won't be for a very long time. The solar system at
presently located roughly 20 light-years 'above' the plane of the galaxy
and is moving away from it, rather than towards it.
The apparent alignment of the Sun
and Earth with the center of the galaxy exists only at the vantage point of
observation, at a point in time at which the precession cycle of the spin-axis of
the Earth has shifted the angle of observation for looking at the Sun at the
sunrise on the day of the solstice. The Universe itself has not changed thereby.
Only the relative point of observation has changed.
The ecliptic of the solar
system is offset by a tilt-angle of roughly 60 degrees relative to the plane of
the galaxy. The Sun appears at different places at sunrise, so that it appear in
opposition with the plane of the galaxy at different times, but with the
location of spin-axis constantly changing in a circular precession around the
geographic pole over the span of its 25,800-year precession cycle, the Sun
appears to stand exactly opposite to the galactic center only once at the point
of sunrise on the winter solstice, in this entire time span 25,800 years. Since
this opposition is an significant identifiable reference point, the Mayan astronomers
had deduced from observation when in the future this astronomical opposition would
be observed, and had then based their entire calendar in relationship to this
computed point in time, after which the next long cycle was deemed to
begin.
The selection of
the cycle-point of the calendar is thereby essentially arbitrary. The Mayan
observers, however, attributed a religious significance to placing their
cycle-point at an astronomical event when the sun comes out of the dark rift and
stands in opposition with the center of the galaxy. It was given the religious
significance of a cyclical rebirth of mankind. Apart from this religious
significance, the day of December 21, 2012, is the same as any other day,
similar to the transition from December 31, to January 1 of the next year of our
own calendar.
As with any religious event, far
more significance has been attributed to this change from one time cycle to the
next. Apocalyptic scenarios have been conjured up, and causes for them have been
sought out that would fit the bill, for which the imagination was stretched a
long way. Once scenario has it that on the day of the imaginary crossing of the
plane of the galaxy the entire mantle of the Earth would slip on its molten core
by which the northern and southern hemispheres would be rapidly transposed,
together with the oceans and all. The kind of physical force that would be
required to cause this would rip the Earth apart many times over. Such a force
simply does not exist, which makes this scenario the mort impossible dream ever
imagined. A similar 12-21, 2012 scenario of crossing the galactic plane imagines
merely the sudden reversal of the magnetic field of the earth, with equally
imaginary catastrophic consequences. But this too, is a dream, since the
magnetic field of the Earth has a flipped many time in past with generally unnoticeable
consequences, just as a magnetic field of the Sun flips in 11 years cycles (on
average) in a routine fashion without major upsets in its dynamic operation.
The bottom line is, the Earth is
perfectly safe in its position in the galaxy, and remains safe within its solar
system that is but one of 200 to 400 billion other solar systems in a galaxy,
which itself spans across a space that is more than 100,000 light years wide, as a spiral disk,
and 1000 light years
deep.. If the existence of our world was in danger by the onslaught of great
cataclysmic forces extending from the center of our galaxy, our entire galaxy would be in
danger by this force, and likewise every galaxy in the Universe. Obviously, such
a force does not exist, nor has a black hole been observed at the center of the
galaxy, or has been seen anywhere in the Universe. Black holes are theoretical
constructs based on theories that have long been disproved, and have become
superceded as relics of the past akin to the flat-earth perception.
