btw, if the poles do reverse, its not going to affect the geology that much.... some ppl think that the earth is going to spin backwards which is impossiblethe earth spins at 22,000mph... stopping this inertia is impossible let alone reversing it.
Only about 1000 mph, but other than that, you're pretty much correct.
Looking at samples out from the mid-Atlantic ridge, scientists have found many, many pole reversals in the geologically recent past, none of which have corresponded by an extinction event. I don't think the poles are going to reverse in 2012 (indeed, I don't think anything of grand significance is going to happen), but even if they did the man on the street would scarcely notice. Now that everything is GPS-based, navigation tools would probably also be pretty much unaffected by a pole-reversal.
I always thought it was around 600 mph?
Earth's about 25,000 miles around, and does one rotation in 24 hours. Fairly simple math, there :tongue:
Around, what do you mean around! The world is flat!!
Good point.
I think what will happen in 2012 is that the gigantic overlords of the Universe will find the flat Earth and attempt to skip it across the Oceans of Eternity. That would suck.
You both are correct. At the equater, it rotates about 1000mph. at 53degrees north it is about 600.
cos(lattitude)*1000= speed in knots

There's only one person that knows when the world is going to end. Chuck Norris.
So would 53 degrees north be around NY? I specifically remember my earth science teacher stating that 600 mph number.
I lol'd
I am not worried. My followers and i believe that we will be beamed aboard a cosmic starship on the day of armageddon. I have them all preparing for the day now...

So, what exactly is a New York minute then???

If it happens, it just means that the magnetic field will reverse.... which can cause major problems for animals which use this magnetic field in their migration path...
Who knows what it would do to satellites (GPS, communications etc).... still its a theory so yea who knows whats going to happen. The Mayan calendar just shows that is and end of a cycle and a new one will start just after it. Our galaxy and solar system is like a giant clock... the Mayans were experts in reading this information. I'm not too sure anything is going to happen, but I'm sure tons of ppl are going to get very paranoid when we get closer to this time.... still not a bad idea to buy more canned food. :biggrin:
You know by now about how big the # trillion is. We hear it everyday. Your explination why the earth spins the way it does is a perfect example of one of the trillions of mathematical equations that had to fall into place for us to be here. Something I had posted a few months back. I don't believe in hundreds of worlds with intelligent life no matter how big those estimated numbers might be because that number is still insignificant compared to our being here on this unbelievable hunk of perfectly blended elements.
I don't see why we couldn't be the only ones. Why can't there be just one.
Gods and flying saucers, the numbers just don't add up! What does add up however is mans inability to cope withl his own fear of everything he can't
control, his only threat in the entire universe------------------

2012 maybe not, but one thing we can all bank on, humans are on a major collision coarse, (with each other) and it ain't going to be pretty!
Have a good evening.:smile:

Environment factors.
In the future.
No.
Actually it's not that simple. Buy me a beer and I'll tell you all about it.
And the polar bears are effectively going zero.
Here's the only velocity that counts: how fast is the propeller on your hat spinning? None of us want to see you in orbit!
Think of the party we'll have once all the sourpuss Christians are raptured away! Fun times, fun times....
The 12/21/2012 date was predicted by the Mayans, Egyptians and the Chinese, among others. Not Christians. I don't have a clue where you got that from.
Answer my Windows 7 questions first :biggrin:!
But yeah, I should have qualified my comment with an "at the equator" bit.
