What is your opinion about the question that you posed here:
http://www.intensitysquared.com/index.php/topic,11751.0.html
So the question is, is it actually possible that a serious event could emerge on December 21st, 2012, but not because it was foretold or predicted, but because people want to believe in it and make it a self-fulfilling prophecy?
I was wondering what you think of the possibility that passing through the celestial plane could trigger a reversal of the polarity of the earth's magnetic field?
Firstly, my concern is that with how people hold such strong beliefs on certain prophecies, and their tendency to panic or desire such doomsday could lead to destabilization of society. As a consequence of this hysteria caused destabilization, it could lead to escalated military and political tensions with various nations due to potential terrorism and disputes.
It's interesting you bring up the magnetic field, because the geomagnetic poles have shifted on occasion in Earth's history, and currently the magnetic poles are shifting and accelerating. So it's has already started, but only moving at 40km a year as of 2003. But the implications of a magnetic pole shift wouldn't be cataclysmic exactly, but strange earthquakes and animal behaviour could become more common, with possible sightings of auroras closer to the equator.
