NASA has assured the public that the world will not end on 21 December 2012.
NASA addresses the “Mayans predicted the end of the world” theory on a new section of their website entitled “Beyond 2012: Why the World Won’t End.”
NASA says that the rumour of the imminent doomsday centres around a planet called Nibiru, which doesn’t actually exist.
Rumours suggest that Nibiru will align with Earth, resulting in solar flares. All of this is tied to the supposed end of the Mayan calendar.
“The world will not end in 2012. Our planet has been getting along just fine for more than 4 billion years, and credible scientists worldwide know of no threat associated with 2012,” said NASA.
NASA space scientist David Morrison was interviewed about the rumoured impending 2012 doomsday. “I’m disturbed by letters from kids who are afraid. I think that is the worst part of this hoax, and it is a hoax.”
NASA also urged people to be more concerned about climate change and the current threats our planet faces.
