Hello Lovely People
Now for some basic astronomy. Do you remember how we were taught in school that the planets orbit around the sun, and the moon orbits around the earth? The impression was created that although the orbits of the planets have different radiuses and velocities, they each orbit in a perfect circle around the sun. That is not quite true.
The orbits of the planets resemble the wanderings of a drunken fly – around the sun, but not in a perfect circle. The fly would follow a circular path, and then maybe retrace its steps before resuming the circular path, or maybe go outwards and then return again to the circular path.
Various beautiful crop circles have been found to resemble these fascinating orbital patterns.
We are aware of the major planets that orbit around the sun – and even that knowledge is changing all the time. For example, we were taught that there were nine planets evolving around the sun, including the earth and Pluto. However, in 2006 astronomers voted to downgrade Pluto to the category of “dwarf planet”, along with more than 40 other planets in our solar system.
This gives us an indication of our level of ignorance about what is happening in the world around the earth.
What the Mayans discovered thousands of years ago, was that even these uneven orbits can be predicted. They made their predictions to cover literally thousands of years accurately, based on their observations of the night skies.
If the Mayan Long Count Calendar is correlated with the Gregorian calendar, then it can be calculated that the world was created on 13th August 3114 BC. – or was that just the beginning of an era? The Mayan Long Count Calendar ends on 21st December 2012. This day is “the end of time” – that is the end of the Mayan Long Count calendar as translated to the Gregorian calendar.
The Mayans knew that around December 2012 there will be a specific alignment of Jupiter and Saturn on either side of the sun. This alignment only occurs every 5 125 years.
Is this an exact date? I don’t think so – not because I claim to know better than the Mayans. We know that we operate on a 24-hour day and that this day starts at Greenwich Mean Time. Greenwich is in England, and Australia is on the other side of the earth. The same day starts in Australia once the earth has completed an orbit around the sun, which is 24 hours later. So which 21st December 2012 are we talking about – the English one or the Australian one? Time is relative, and we are talking about a time frame rather than a specific date and time.
I can hear some people say yes, but why would we attach so much value to the opinion of one ancient tribe? What if their calculations were wrong or not relevant?
Wait for the next instalment.
