And as for the polar shift theory, it DOESN'T mean the planet will flip itself over and the physical north and south poles will switch places. It means that compasses will read the opposite. MAGNETIC north will change, not TRUE north (if we still consider what the north pole is now to be true north).

Man I am gonna use my life more wisely. On a more practical note though if any and I do mean any of this is true we are fucked =[.

I learned in Science a few days ago that there was supposed to be a black hole? Any clarification? The Magnetic Poles will switch, which means we will need to change North and South (Compass needles point to the north pole), GPS Systems won't work correctly, and basically we would have to live life differently. Personally I don't think we will die, but our lives will change.

He says Sol, the Centre Black Hole, and Earth will be collinear, which won't do a bloody thing, seeing as we are collinear at random points in time.

FlyingHat asked me to give my opinion, so here it is. Take in mind I haven't read all 11 pages. First off, "{Citation Needed}": None of your 'facts' have been backed up by anything other than youtube videos. I'd even be happy to see a Wikipedia article showing half the 'facts' you told us. Second, even if the Sun is going to line up with a massive black hole doesn't mean that anything significant will happen. We're in free-fall around the Sun, so the Sun's gravity has no effect on us. The Sun and this black hole you speak of are most likely far too far away to create any tidal forces significant enough to do damage. Most of these are built off religions and beliefs of other people, most of which/whom were probably influenced by one another. If one old society sets up the end of the world around one time, it's bound to influence the beliefs of later civilizations. Just because we're about 5,000 years due for a polar shift doesn't give us any correct indication for when it's going to happen. And even if it does, all that's going to happen is the poles swap, (and there's severe UV radiation for a few years, but it's not like we can't stop that) All that was expected on Y2K was a general computer calculation error, because the first computers used a two-digit year, not a four-digit one, and all the computers were going to hit a buffer overflow at the exact same moment. The only error would be with anything that depended on the time, namely navigation systems and the economy. It was also beleived that all the nukes would detonate, but the designers were smarter than to make them detonate on buffer overflow. :P

It seems to me, that this is a hot topic...simply because of the consperacy feeling of it all. It seems to have the attractive nature of science along with the "two dudes sittin on a couch make up a theory to freak every1 out" kinda feeling to it. lol, a bit simplistic but hey! those are my types of examples. Now to comment further....I dont think it will happen simply because i have no desire for it to happen. Im not saying that because i dont want it to happen it wont, im just saying because i dont want it to happen i dont think it will. The theory is a little iffish on the science. The black hole may align with the sun and the earth....But....the gravitational pull wouldnt effect earth any more in its position wether its aligned with the sun or not. It would make more sense to say, we are rapidly getting closer to the black hole, and we may become sucked in. The fact that the sun and earth line up with the black hole has no physical value whatsoever....

Well, thinking what? i dont see any other way the world would "end" physically besides that. whats the signifigance of the black hole if it has nothing to do with how the world ends? im sorry, i suppose i wasnt well informed about this topic before i stepped in....excuse me.
