Nasa Debunks the Movie ‘2012’

— Posted by Ian Fay

Nasa were asked so many questions regarding the year 2012 and its various doomsday predictions, that they decided to post a Q&A, listing the biggest offenders, and in turn, showing how ridiculous the film’s plot was.
A snippet of the page

Remember the Y2K scare? It came and went without much of a whimper because of adequate planning and analysis of the situation. Impressive movie special effects aside, Dec. 21, 2012, won’t be the end of the world as we know. It will, however, be another winter solstice.

Much like Y2K, 2012 has been analyzed and the science of the end of the Earth thoroughly studied. Contrary to some of the common beliefs out there, the science behind the end of the world quickly unravels when pinned down to the 2012 timeline. Below, NASA Scientists answer several questions that we’re frequently asked regarding 2012.

The post goes on to to completely disregard all of the theories, saying “For any claims of disaster or dramatic changes in 2012, where is the science? Where is the evidence? There is none, and for all the fictional assertions, whether they are made in books, movies, documentaries or over the Internet, we cannot change that simple fact.”
Head on here for the full Q&A.
[By the way, I know the movie was just entertainment, and I never took its content as fact. Just saying it before someone gives out to me!]

    The bigger question is why the movie itself is so stupid it ceases to be entertainment and more of an excercise in lobotomy.

      Ironic coming from a person who liked ghostrider~!

        Ghostrider was bad, Nicholas Cage still entertaining at least in his horrible acting.

        2012 was an assault on humanity. A guy I know that I would SWEAR would have liked 2012 (he thought Transformers 2 was the best movie of the year) because he likes things that go BOOM, hated it.

        Can’t argue with an explosion enthusiast. If three hours of shit blowing up didn’t get him going, it must truly have been awful eh?
