Around a thousand years ago, a brilliant Mayan mathematician decided to make a calendar that went far into the future. He ended his calendar on a Mayan high holy day, which we call the winter solstice. It was an amazing job, especially considering that he had no computer.
Now a movie decided that when the calendar ended, so would the world.
Honestly, hasn't ANYONE heard of the concept of INFINITY? Infinity is that mathematical concept which points out that the biggest number you can think of can be made bigger by adding that number and the number 1. In other words, there is no limit to the number of things that you can count.
If that ancient Mayan mathematician had known how we would treat his calendar, he would be laughing. Or else he would be on a computer, making his calendar go into the 22nd century.
So far, all of the times people thought the world would end were WRONG. This time, the rumors of the imminent demise of the Earth are so wrong it is silly.
THE ONLY THING TO FEAR IS FEAR ITSELF.
