There's more 2012 theories besides the Mayan thing. That's why it's such a big deal, because all these predictions happen to say the same thing, with some sort of "scientific evidence".
There was a prophet name Nostradamus, who predicted the ups and downs of civilization. He used some sort of astrology to predict things. Apparently, he predicted things such as World War II and Hitler, as well as the Kennedy assassinations. And now, he has predicted the "end of the world". Things like an extreme climate change are predicted, which means the Earth could shift on it's axis.
If you do your research, the Earth suddenly shifting is impossible. It's hard to explain in my words, but here is a quote that summarizes it easily.
0. What is the polar shift theory? Is it true that the earth’s crust does a 180-degree rotation around the core in a matter of days if not hours? Does this have something to do to do with our solar system dipping beneath the galactic equator?
A reversal in the rotation of Earth is impossible. It has never happened and never will. There are slow movements of the continents (for example Antarctica was near the equator hundreds of millions of years ago), but that is irrelevant to claims of reversal of the rotational poles. However, many of the disaster websites pull a bait-and-shift to fool people. They claim a relationship between the rotation and the magnetic polarity of Earth, which does change irregularly with a magnetic reversal taking place every 400,000 years on average. As far as we know, such a magnetic reversal doesn’t cause any harm to life on Earth. A magnetic reversal is very unlikely to happen in the next few millennia, anyway. But they falsely claim that a magnetic reversal is coming soon (in 2012) and that this is the same as, or will trigger, a reversal of rotational poles. The bottom line is: (a) Rotation direction and magnetic polarity are not related. (
There is no reason to expect a reversal of magnetic polarity any time soon, or to anticipate any bad effects on life when it does eventually happen. © A sudden shift in rotational pole with disastrous consequences is impossible. Also, none of this has anything to do with the galactic equator or any of the other nonsense about alignments that appears on many of the conspiracy theory websites.
Also, there is a so called planet called "Planet X" or "Nibiru", which is supposed to be a plant that rotates around the sun in an oval shape. This means, that people think this planet is going to collide with the Earth. If it doesn't collide, it will likely leave rock debris that will hit the Earth and cause problems.
The only thing is, this planet is only a suspected object. There is tons of evidence that this planet does not exist.

Also, all of these readings are predictions translated from a long period of time ago. Nostradamus, for example, lived in the 1500s, so translations are subject to change through periods of time. And after things that happen, people might make silly connections to the text he wrote, which could be misinterpreted.
If you do your research, there are lots of made up scientific predictions that
sound real, but in reality, something like that is impossible. If something sounds real, more people are likely to believe it. Don't get all crazy about something happening in 2012, because it is very very unlikely that it won't. If anything happens, it's not going to go with a huge BANG, it will be an on going process. (again, very unlikely).
People are saying things like "OH earthquakes, tsunamis, swine flu, increasing crime rates, it's all predicting 2012"
But think about it this way, our world has always had massive troubles. The Spanish Flu for example, killed more than 50 million people, and this was way worse than the swine flu. This happened a long time ago. Terrible things happen throughout the world all the time, so these disasters aren't getting worse. It's nothing new. It's nothing predicting the end of the world.
Sorry for the long post. If any of this is wrong, just correct me on it.
Haha, but if nothing happens then I'll start doing a happy dance! : D
