Beachguy in thongs is right. this whole universe is changing phases and 2012 is when it becomes final. the scientists are learning the whole universe is heating but little do they know it is the whole atomic structure that is undergoing changes. humanity has to go to the next phase of being wich is another dimension. they will finally see the true spirituality and everyone will be united. there will be no more need for wars or anything of that nature. but untill then there will be earthquakes, volcanoes, tsunamis, and all kinds of natural destruction in greater and greater force. there will also be a big nuclear war probably by 2010. go here for more info http://www.divinecosmos.com/cms/
