		<description>the collision of sub atomic particles would cause a catostrophic combination of helium dioxide, hydrogen fioxide, nitrogen bioxide, lithium neutrons and sodium phosphide protons, would cause the inconceivable destruction of the planet we call home!

		<description>I talked with this guy this weekend at a convention in Chicago, and he gave me his site that is close to the 2012 thing posted by Passenger.  This has me concerned if this is the case, as everyone who says &quot;to soon&quot; to know and &quot;ifs&quot;...when we do know, it will be too late.  here is the guys site to look at.

http://www.kjkocher.webs.com/

this  “Astralwalker” site might might also explain why the sun has been so quite during this solor cycle.

		<description>Hello guys. I had read all the comments. Very interesting. 

There is a person who uses a pseudonym “Astralwalker” and who has interesting information to share. 

I think this person had solved the mystery how the gamma stream will affect the sun. 

Interesting parallel for 2012 is given also.

Check it out. You want be disappointed. Get ready for a life time changing event. 

Cheers,

		<description>I have not read all comments, but I have a question. How would the gamma stream affect the sun? In 2012, the sun will be in line with the galactic center and wr104. It&#039;s obviously too close to feel safe and the blast could arrive at any time or never. If the sun takes the bullet or the &quot;arrow&quot;, then would that affect the sun&#039;s intensity, solar wind, or magnetic field and flares? This could mean the difference between a relatively quick end, or a slow, agonizing demise taking years. On the bright side, it might buy us a little time to either destroy each other or try to overcome.  Disregard the human nature aspect. :-) I&#039;m just curious about the effects on the sun.</description>

		<description>The spiral nebula reminds me of the drawing in the &quot;Lost Book of Nostrodamus&quot;. The spiral is in front of the scorpion and seems to indicate the end of the world as we know it. Maybe related to 12/21/2012.</description>
