以下英文内容是我从美国国家宇航局网站上引用的。问题1主要是针对互联网上众多的关于2012年世界末日的问题的问答；而第二部分内容是关于2012年世界末日说的缘起的解释。

 

Question (Q): Are there any threats to the Earth in 2012? Many Internet websites say the world will end in December 2012.

Answer (A):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.

Q: What is the origin of the prediction that the world will end in 2012?

A: The story started with claims that Nibiru, a supposed planet discovered by the Sumerians, is headed toward Earth. This catastrophe was initially predicted for May 2003, but when nothing happened the doomsday date was moved forward to December 2012 and linked to the end of one of the cycles in the ancient Mayan calendar at the winter solstice in 2012 -- hence the predicted doomsday date of December 21, 2012.

Nibiru这颗行星撞地球这个事情

曾预测会在2003年发生（不是中国人说的2004年），后来又改为2012年12月21日。而这个日子和玛雅人的“月历末日”吻合到了一起。

看来世界末日真的不大可能发生的。
