    So apparently this is the day that the world will end - well, according to the Mayan civilization :rolleyes:

    Is there anyone on here who actually believes this nonsense?

    And if it was found out to be happening, how would you spend your last remaining hours on the planet before we are all allegedly burned to a crisp, or drowned like a spider down the bath drain???

    The world has apparently been ending for years now. 2000, 2006, 2011 and now 2012. That's just some recent examples. Absolute nonsense.

    See you all on 22nd December :bbpd:

    Novelty theory
    According to McKenna the universe has a teleological attractor at the end of time that increases interconnectedness, eventually reaching a singularity of infinite complexity in 2012 at which point anything and everything imaginable will occur simultaneously, what he referred to as the Eschaton. He conceived this idea over several years in the early to mid-1970s while using psilocybin mushrooms and DMT.[25]
    McKenna viewed the universe as a swarm of matter waves, spiralling down the gradient of their synergetic (energetically favourable) constructive interference. He saw the universe as being "pulled from the future toward a goal that is as inevitable as a marble reaching the bottom of a bowl when you release it up near the rim...it comes to rest at the lowest energy state, which is the bottom of the bowl. That’s precisely my model of human history."[26]
    In novelty theory, when two matter waves become connected by mutual constructive interference (quantum entanglement, rapport), they imagine or grok each other. Mc Kenna believed that imagination was capable of interconnecting matter waves instantaneously, stating that "the imagination is a dimension of nonlocal information,"[27] and "novelty is density of connection." [28]


    A screenshot of the "Timewave Zero" software
    "What is happening to our world is ingression of novelty toward what Whitehead called "concrescence", a tightening gyre. Everything is flowing together. The "autopoietic lapis", the alchemical stone at the end of time, coalesces when everything flows together. When the laws of physics are obviated, the universe disappears, and what is left is the tightly bound plenum, the monad, able to express itself for itself, rather than only able to cast a shadow into physis as its reflection. I come very close here to classical millenarian and apocalyptic thought in my view of the rate at which change is accelerating. From the way the gyre is tightening, I predict that the concrescence will occur soon—around 2012 AD. It will be the entry of our species into hyperspace, but it will appear to be the end of physical laws accompanied by the release of the mind into the imagination."[29]
    McKenna expressed "novelty" in a computer program which purportedly produces a waveform known as "timewave zero" or the "timewave". "Timewave zero" is a numerological formula that purports to calculate the ebb and flow of "novelty", defined as increase over time in the universe's interconnectedness, or organized complexity.[25] Based on McKenna's interpretation of the King Wen sequence of the I Ching,[4] the graph appears to show great periods of novelty corresponding with major shifts in humanity's biological and sociocultural evolution. He believed that the events of any given time are recursively related to the events of other times, and chose the atomic bombing of Hiroshima as the basis for calculating his end date of 16 November 2012. When he later discovered that the end of the 13th baktun in the Maya Calendar had been correlated by Western Maya scholars with December 21, not far from his own hypothesized end date, he decided that the Maya were more likely to be right on this subject and he adopted their end date.[30] The 1975 first edition of Mc Kenna's The Invisible Landscape refers to 2012 (but no specific day during the year) only twice. In the 1993 second edition, McKenna employed the 21st of December 2012 throughout, the date arrived at by the Mayanist researcher Robert J. Sharer's.[Note d][31]

    This year was also supposed to be Armageddon for the SPL.

    If it were to happen I would buy all the beer and Whiskey I could afford so it would all be a blur. Would be angry with myself for wasting money on Christmas presents as well.:56:

    The next time anything could happen globally is next year if a solar storm knocks out the electricity.

    Since they made their calculations, daylight savings and leap years and bad calculation of time and * have happened, so it's probably more likely the date they predicted was ages ago

    plus they didn't say what would happen, or how we're supposedly dying

    They did.....apparently.

    There's supposed to be some sort of Codex book that predicts the world WILL end and it will be in some sort of fire from the sky - the book is in Germany somewhere.

    Also saw that it has something to do with the earth, the sun and the centre of the Milky Way lining up at the same time causing some sort of energy burst or some * like that :rolleyes:

    Quasars are the main forms of energy burst that would destroy all life on the planet but it is highly unlikely that it will ever happen. I can't wait for December 21st to see all the hoaxers online claiming they see something in the sky.:56:
