Several people have claimed that the world will end Dec. 21—a rumor that is gaining prevalence across the media, pop culture and the Internet. Even the major motion picture industry has followed this trend: Columbia Pictures released a movie entitled “2012” three years ago that centers around apocalyptic weather events caused by a solar flare.
Although several reputable organizations, including NASA and even the US government, have refuted this claim, several people continue to claim that the Mayan calendar will end Dec. 21 (which, by the way, it won’t), signifying the end of the world.
