I'm not sure if the world will end in 2012, but something very big is going to happen that year. It might be a global dictatorship or it could be time restarting. There is a forum that talks a lot about this sort of thing at www.davidicke.com
Nonsenses what are stimulated by the fantasy and the fear of the masses. Nobody khows the date and the hour and blabla and if there will be end of the world and is this actually physical end or just metaphore of something else.
