Hey I just watched the everything 2012 videos. Alot of compelling evidence in there. What is the name of that history episode I would like to...buy...it. Also a great inclusion would be the "RE: About 2012..." with the information about the solar maximum/minimum cycles.
Solar flares have been the bane of the humans electronic age because of their nature. Personally I believe its a wonder that any electronic stuff works inside of out gigantic magnetic field. One issue I'm a little bit hazy on is the polar wobble cycle. I've been considering if earth is about to have some sort of polar shift, why have we not seen a difference in the locations of the poles. Shouldn't the steadily decline to a "O-Degree" point where the poles spin flat and begin to "unspin" back to the point of "vertical" (I say vertical as a semi-reference because in space technically there is no vertical/horizontal except in using earth/moon/sun or other bodies as a ...point of reference.) At this point we would already have noticed the beginnings of a polar shift, unless the world governments are some sneaky sonzabitches and don't want to say anything. Much of that information presented in that video was quite compelling. Even if there is no "end" of the world and what not, it will still be something to have lived through ..this equinox of all equinox'.
My last......"argument" is the fact that we're moving through space quite fast around the sun 18 some miles/second (holy shit right?) and the sun it moving around a 156,000~ light year circumfrence in 220m years. (68609650909 miles per year or 7,832,151 miles per hour.) Why have we not seen an increase in tidal forces as we near this center alignment with our galaxy? Assuming that we break that miles per hour into a sine wave (because we know the frequency we pass through the Galactic X axis [given we are const-Y] I could in turn use a slightly more.... advanced form of math couple with some equations of gravity and such I could probably find a measurable and applicable number to couple with what I {humans really} know about how the earth reacts to the tidal forces presented by all the close planets and stars.) What I'm getting at is I'm a 20 year old and I'm just sitting here on the phone and I came up with this theoretical/plausible equation that would allow us to predict and measure these effects. There's prolly 35million professors and physicists that have come up with and begun these measurements.
