2012: Startling New Secrets
Fuckin' Sci-Fi Channel should be ashamed of themselves. And I'm not using that damn SyFy name. It's stupid.

Still, there might be something to the whole "Galactic Plane" thingy.

Rush knew the future?
Great computers running the world making a one world government?

There is a Galactic Plane, it's the plane that most of the stars in the galaxy fall on. It's kind of what happens when you spin things.
Here's an experiment. Connect ten tennis balls to bits of string. Hold the string and spin round. I absolutely guarantee all the balls are spinning in the same plane.

Yes, but when our solar system crosses the equator, our magnetic polarity will reverse.
In your balls on strings experiment, there will also undoubtedly be an amount of oscillation. That is, the balls will not swing in an absolute flat horizontal plane. They will begin to oscillate up and down slightly above and below the plane.
I'm guessing it's some kind of horizontal vs. vertical centrifugal oscillation due to gradual loss of angular momentum?

Now, I suppose the polarity reversal would be gradual?
And it probably won't do anything?
It's not like the Earth's rotation will suddenly reverse or the planets' orbits around the Sun.
Or..will they?
:P

Yes, feed the paranoia. That's what we need.

When dealing in millions of years how can you say we're "overdue?"

Ah, that's just an urban legend. It's on Snopes.

What fucking polarity reversal? Are you talking about the North and South poles swapping? Because that has fuck all to do with where we are in the galaxy, it's because the Earth's core is a huge lump of molten iron. Liquids slosh around hence the magnetism changes.

I refuse to accept prophecy advice from a civilization that didn't notice it'd be gone way before that expiration date.
You'd think the gods they were asking would have clued them in on that bit.
And yes, Syfy is gross.

Did I miss this, will it be on again?
There is another 2012 "documentary" on The History Channel and/or The Discovery Channel.

Please watch them all. Your thoughts on them will be entertaining.
