For Those asking: What is the Galaactic Alignment 2012?

[stefaan]

I don't buy the whole Galactic Alignment thing. There are people talking about different type of alignments, but none are very convincing.

An alignment of planets, it's certainly not. Those alignments happen so often there is nothing special about them.

Then there is the alignment explained above. It's about the precession, a cycle of about 26.000 years. As it is well put, but not accented on the whatisGA.htm page (see above), the peak of the alignment was in 1998. In 2012 we're almost out of it. If there was something to happen, it should have happened already some years ago.
But if you dig in deeper, you see it makes no sense. The only special thing about this alignment is, the fact it falls on the shortest day of the year. The alignment reoccurs every year, but shifts bit by bit. So some years later it falls on another day. What's the fuzz all about? There is nothing special about it, believe me.

Then there is yet another possible alignment. In 225 million years our solar system goes around the centre of the Milkey Way. While it does that, it goes up and down, with a surface you could call the disc or equator of the Milkey Way, as the centre. I don't know the rhythm of that cycle yet. If anybody knows, pleace tell me. But I doubt, if this is what the Mayans were talking about. Still, it is possible. Modern man is supposed to be not older than 60.000 years. The only way people could be aware of a cycle of 225 million years, is if aliens told them about it.

Please educate yourself before rejecting a scientifically proven estimate - it's a simple matter of math to come to the estimate of 220-230 million years to fulfull a 'cosmic year' as it is called.

As for the initial subject, I'd like to offer a few links to clips on YouTube that address Dec. 21. 2012 from different angles:

Part 1 / 3
Part 2 / 3
Part 3 / 3

Please enjoy, and blessed be.

I would gladly educate myself at anytime, thank you. Although, with the first link you propose, it won't happen, sorry, there's nothing new to me there.
But you didn't read well what I wrote. I do not reject the cosmic year at all. I do question if people (the Mayan) could know about the cosmic year. Their knowledge of astronomy was large. But the necessary conditions to learn about the cosmic years, where they present? Was their knowledge large enough?
So, therefor I stated, more for fun than serious, they would have to be told by aliens about the subject.

The other links you provide are intereseting. I saw this video some time ago. Will have to view them agian, I don't recall so well what the whole presented content is.

I got the idea of solar system travelling up and down from here

anyone been to viewzone, is this site reliable? I found the scientific way of explaining is the first-good-impression that it is not bias, well biased towards science..

like to get another person opinion on the decency of this write-up

Very interesting.
It looks reliable. One should check all references before judging. But at first glance it looks ok.
