It's December 21st and the world has not ended -yet. Mayan predictions said that December 21, 2012 would be Doomsday and life planet Earth would no longer exist.
NASA posted several YouTube videos assuring people that the world will not end Friday and debunked some of the Mayan's theories, manager of the NASA Near Object Program, Donald Yeomans said, "The earth is not coming to an end. There is no evidence whatsoever for that."
In the YouTube video, the narrator assured, "No known asteroids or comets were on a collision course with Earth. Neither is a rogue planet coming to destroy us." At least 5 million people have logged onto NASA's website to feel at ease with the floating rumors, "The world will not end in 2012. Our planet has been getting along just fine for more than four billion years."
People outside of Moscow are using Cold War- era bunkers that are about 185 feet underground just until tomorrow. A risk perception consultant, David Ropeik, said, "It is a reflection of the human tendency to be unsettled by uncertainty. And these are certainly unsettled times, making the uncertainty even greater."
In an interview with "CBS This Morning" author and physics professor at the City University of New York, Michio Kaku said, "All week I've been telling people, 'Don't quit your day job. For God's sake, pay your rent and do your laundry.' The thing is Mayans never made this prophesy. This was hijacked. Hijacked by a doomsday machine that every 10 years, sells books, does TV specials propagating these things. Remember Y2K? Every 10 years. ... This a cash cow unfortunately."
