It would probably sound something like this:\n\n"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH"\n\nsince we'd all just fly off the surface of the Earth and shoot into space.

I don't know what time the world is supposed to end on Dec. 21, 2012, according to the Mayan calendar.  However, there appears to be some controversy about this signaling the end of the world:\n\n"The end of the 13th baktun is conjectured to have been of great significance to the Maya, but does not mark the end of the world. According to the Popol Vuh, a sacred book of the Maya, we are living in the fourth world. The Popol Vuh describes the first three creations that the gods failed in making and the creation of the successful fourth world where men were placed. The Maya believed that the fourth world would end in catastrophe and the fifth and final world would be created that would signal the end of mankind."\n\nThe last creation ended on a long count of 13.0.0.0.0. Another 13.0.0.0.0 will occur on December 21, 2012, and it has been discussed in many New Age articles and books that this will be the end of this creation or something else entirely. However, the Maya abbreviated their long counts to just the last five vigesimal places. There were an infinitely larger number of units that were usually not shown. When the larger units were shown (notably on a monument from Coba), the end of the last creation is expressed as 13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.0.0.0.0, where the units are obviously supposed to be 13s in all larger places. In this age we are only approaching 0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.13.0.0.0.0, and the larger places are nowhere near the 13s that would match the end of the last creation. (Schele and Friedel 1990: 430)\n\nThis is confirmed by a date from Palenque, which projects forward in time to 1.0.0.0.0.0, which will occur on 13 October, 4772. The Classic Period Maya obviously did not believe that the end of this age would occur in 2012. According to the Maya, there will be a baktun ending in 2012, a significant event being the end of a 13th 400 year period, but not the end of the world.

2020, that is 14 years more of planet earth life. i do believe, no human being can estimate when the earth will end though some specialist in MIT, a pastor talk about this, that the end is before the middle of this century. i presented this scenario because when the earth stop turning, that would mean a global disaster. i read of a scenario in the Bible when the sun stood still. that was an act of the Almighty. the end of the world will be also an act of the Almighty God who is only One who can tell when. He is in controll of His Creation

Which 'end of the world' talk? Personally, I'm annoyed by all the 'blue sky' people who think that "someone will save us". There are a lot of bad things going on in the world right now, and most of them involve people not paying attention to what their neighbors, their bosses, their government, and their children are doing with the resources which will be needed in the future by whoever is left after the wars, diseases, and starvation get done, not to mention climate changes. The blind faith in 'systems of failed systems', growth economics, religious happiness, and voluntary ignorance is leading our species down a path of self-consumption. Is the 'world' going to end? Probably not, but TWAWKI (the world as we know it) will be changing drastically. Expecting things to stay the way they are or get better by doing what we usually do is kind of, well, "Life for Dummies."\nIf you aren't outraged, you aren't paying attention.

You mean when the Mayan calendar ends?\nNo, there's no need to prepare for it.\nWhat makes you think people that lived thousands of years ago, only knew about a few hundred square miles around them (didn't know the rest of the world existed), and believed in superstition and made-up gods knew anything about "the end of the world?"  Have you ever thought that maybe that was as high as they could count?  Hmm?\n\nBesides, what their calendar actually says is that the end of their calendar marks the beginning of a transition from one world era to another -- not that the world will end.  There's a somewhat dubious link that describes it below...but ignore all the astronomical gobbledegook in that article, the astronomy assumptions (like the sun intersecting the milky way or the galaxy "lying" on the earth) are completely wrong :(

I don't think it'll ever be fully reconciled, but it will be closer than it is now.  It seems the pendulum of thought is swinging back toward the dark ages at the moment :(

No one is really sure yet. Astronomers and meteorologists are working everyday to figure out what is going to happen but the only theory is that....\n1- The earth stops rotations and can cause us to die\n2- The earth can get compressed into a small cubical.\n3- Nothing at all and we still live... which i hope is this.

8 PM tomorrow.  http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/ will help you with such things.

Probably not. The world was supposed to end in 2000 and now its 2006 and the world is still here.

WOW, I was unaware that the world is going to end tomorrow... I didn't get the memo. It isn't on my calendar. Who told you this?\n\nIs it the same group that said that the world was going to end on June 6, 1906?

What about it? Who cares what happened in schools 40 years ago. God gives us a chance to live another day: TODAY,NOT YESTERDAY. Don't spend your life being stuck in a time warp. LIVE FOR TODAY!.

Gee let me guess...because the date is 6/6/06?\n\nWhatever. No one except God knows when the world will end. It could be that day or any other day.\n\nThe Bible does say it will happen, but it also says "It will come like a thief in the night," and "no one knows the day or the hour." God purposely did not tell us the exact date or time becuase it's not for us to know when. He wants us to be ready for it all of the time.

Continuity. The world would be a much more difficult place to get around in if everyone had a different calendar.

The Earth would lose sea tides and other water tides.  This would mean the sea receding in some parts of the world and flooding in other parts.  I also think that the Earth will "wobble" on its axis and its path of revolution around the sun would change.  That would mean change in the duration of the day and the year, I guess that would mean toal destruction.

Well. Today I resolved that the world will not end. I made the decision to continue trying my best to make a difference. I accepted the fact that there are millions of people doing their bit and I am not alone.\n\nI also resolved the decision that I cannot change anyone- the blessing and curse of free will and that most honest Christians wouldn't know a sign from God if it landed on their front porch in big flashing lights and a "hello" sign attached. That is the price of deliberate self ignorance.\n\nAnd for that, I expect many more questions about 666 until, thankfully we get to the 7th of June.
