Will the world end on december 2012?
I don't think it will
hard to believe that's a homework question.
I'll get back to you next January...
The sun is not large enough to explode as a supernova) nor old enough to turn into a red giant and thereby end life on Earth in the next year. However, the latter is expected occur in a few billion years.
Other catastrophic events that could end life on Earth are (1) the collision with an asteroid larger than about 500 km or (2) the explosion of a "nearby" star into a supernova. Astronomers know of no asteroids or nearby stars large enough for this to happen.
The prediction that the world would end in December 2012 was a popular topic of discussion in the past. However, it was based on a misinterpretation of the Mayan calendar. The Mayan calendar, which is cyclical and starts anew after a certain period, happened to reach the end of a major cycle in December 2012. This led some people to believe it signaled the end of the world.
To determine whether the world will end in December 2012 or any other time, it is important to rely on credible sources of information such as scientific studies, expert opinions, and historical evidence. Based on scientific understanding, there is no indication that the world will end in December 2012 or any specific date.
To verify this information, you can consult reputable scientific sources, experts in relevant fields such as astronomy, geology, and physics, or refer to historical records of predictions that have failed to come true. Always approach such claims with skepticism and analyze the evidence critically.
