Scientific Evidence of Three Days of Darkness in 2012

EARTH may be staring down the barrel of one of the galaxy's most beautiful and potentially deadly objects. A highly unstable star at the end of its life could unleash a burst of gamma-ray radiation directed straight at Earth, any time between now and the next couple of hundred thousand years.University of Sydney astronomer Peter Tuthill discovered an elegant rotating pinwheel system known as WR104 in the constellation Sagittarius eight years ago.It contains a Wolf-Rayet star, the last stop in a star's life before it explodes in a massive supernova.While studying WR104's striking and colorful shape, Dr Tuthill noticed that the perfect spiral he was observing could only occur when staring right down the centre of it.

The first signs of the star's explosion would be the detection of the gamma-rays and it may have already happened.

"It could have gone off 8,000 years ago and we wouldn't know it, it could go off tomorrow, any time in the next couple of hundred thousand years is all we can say, but in astronomy terms that's imminent and we can't say any more than that,'' Dr Tuthill said.

Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are likely to have made a number of significant impacts on the Earth during the last billion years. The gamma radiation from a burst within a few kiloparsecs would quickly deplete much of the Earth's protective ozone layer, allowing an increase in solar ultraviolet radiation reaching the surface. This radiation is harmful to life, damaging DNA and causing sunburn. In addition, NO2 produced in the atmosphere would cause a decrease in visible sunlight reaching the surface and could cause global cooling. Nitric acid rain could stress portions of the biosphere, but the increased nitrate deposition could be helpful to land plants. We have used a two-dimensional atmospheric model to investigate the effects on the Earth's atmosphere of GRBs delivering a range of fluences, at various latitudes, at the equinoxes and solstices, and at different times of day. We have estimated DNA damage levels caused by increased solar UVB radiation, reduction in solar visible light due to NO2 opacity, and deposition of nitrates through rainout of HNO3. In this paper we give a concise review of this work and discuss current and future work on extending and improving our estimates of the terrestrial impact of a GRB.

The above scientific observation falls in line with the Prophecy of 2012 where the Earth will experience 'Three Days of Darkness'. Precession was discovered by the astronomer Hipparchus in 120 BC and first theoretically explained by Isaac Newton in the 17th century. The Earth wobbles as it spins due to torque created primarily by the sun and moon and therefore has cycles of non-perfect elliptical orbits of the Sun. The north pole sweeps out a cone shape in the celestial sphere. The circle this cone scribes has a diameter of 46.878 degrees. The length of one period of the precession is 25 770 years and its current cycle ends on December 21,2012 as predicted by current astronomical data. It is, however, quite amazing that the Mayan calendar, which began on August 13, 14 BC, ends exactly on December 2l, 2012, after which a new spiritual civilization is predicted to emerge. It should be noted that the Mayans, by contrast to contemporary scientists, considered science and religion as one.

What could precipitate such a sudden end of our civilization? Amongst all possible
factors one stands out as the most likely culprit namely,the lack of electricity. And this can happen in 2012 for the following reasons. First of all, we should remember the fact that we on Earth are not cooked like chickens in a microwave oven is due to the protective effect of the geomagnetic field which effectively deflects solar radiation continuously generated by solar flares. The intensity of which fluctuates periodically in 11-year cycles, the next maximum burst occurring in 2012.

Some scientist sbelieve that the increased solar activity may cause earthquakes as well. All these catastrophic events are not as consequential for our civilization as a sudden breakdown of electrical power. In 2012 as a result of combined effects of a null geomagnetic field and intense solar flares. The Earth will be bombarded with high density proton winds.

The positively charged particles will short-circuit not only electrical power grids but also all electronic devices. Although it is very hard to imagine life without electricity, it should be remembered that our current technological era is based on previous civilizations that lived for millennia withoutel ectricity. Hence. we have to learn how to survive without it and how to harness the power of nature by other less destructive means, possibly by employing our spiritual capacities.

The events of year 2012 are so similar to those prophesied to take place during so called Three Days of Darkness (3DD). According to The M+G+R Foundation this prophecy is based on revelations to l9th Century Blessed Anna Maria Taigi and Marie Julie Jahenny of La Fraudais. Their description of events during 3DD is almost identical to that written by Padre Pio in his two letters to the Commission of Heroldsbach appointed by the Vatican.

Another similarity between events of the year 2012 and 3DD is that after these three days there will be Spring again. Due to closing of the recent precession cycle in 2012, the Earth axis will assume a perpendicular position with respect to the Galactic eclipse and thus geographic areas between Poles and the Equator will have a constant, Spring-like weather.

In conclusion, despite terrifying predictions associated with the year 2012, we will
survive if we follow the instructions given to us by God. It is possible that many people will perish, but we cannot consider it to be God's wrath, but a kind of a self-punishment resulting from our lack of faith in God.
