Ray Villard wrote an article on Discovery Channel about the hot topic: 2012. Scientists are saying, however, that they do not believe the world will end in 2012. He creates a list of ten reasons as to why scientists debunked the idea. Some reasons include that the Sun will not have increased flares, the Earth wouldn’t go out of rotation, the Milky Way will have nothing to do with the galactic disk, etc. He goes about his article as sort of a FAQ. Villard asserts that "Yes, the peak of the next cycle is in 2012 (or 2013), and some predictions suggest it might be 30 to 50 percent stronger than the last peak. But experts say it will certainly not be the biggest peak ever recorded" (Villard).
This article was informative. I am not convinced that everything researchers have said could be debunked though. I still think that there is a high possibility that the world will end in 2012. This topic is the kind of topic that is open for skepticism, everyone is going to have their own beliefs.
