Do you have proof that the Mayan calendar is a hoax? And how is the world supposed to end in 2012 according to the Mayan calendar?
AND
Is the Mayan Calendar right the world is going to end on Dec 21? I keep on asking my mom these question she keeps on telling me no but I think she lying I'm so scared that the world coming to an end.
AND
I am really scared & have watched a lot of videos on youtube. The mayan calander videos say they have predicted the end of the world. Is it really going to happen? |
| |
No, the world is not going to end. The idea of the end of the world Is absurd. It is especially sad to blame these doomsday predictions on the ancient Maya culture. I just came from a meeting attended by several scholars who study the Maya civilization and their inscriptions. The facts are very simp... Click here for more.

I am 14 years old and im really worried about the world ending. Ive seen stuff on geo channel and discovery. Im really worried about the mayan calendar they were really accurate and they predicted it to end. Please get back to me i always think about it and scared. |

Many people write to me every week saying they are worried about the Mayan prediction of the end of the world. Let me say very clearly that the Mayans never predicted the end of the world in 2012. That is entirely a modern hoax. Unfortunately it is a hoax that millions of people have fallen for. A r... Click here for more.

If we assume that life as we know it was created in a primordial soup, then shouldn`t we find such places even today, let`s say, underground, in hydrothermal vents etc.? Or has the RNA/DNA world overwritten whatever was on the earth before? |
| |
If you are asking about the primordial soup (the organic-rich material that is supposedly the place where life began on Earth), that cannot form or persist in a strongly oxidizing chemistry such as the Earth has today. If you are interested in the possible survival of early organisms or early parts ... Click here for more.

With the announcement that 97% of greenland's Ice pack has melted in an astonishing rate wouldn't you agree that if this continues the North Atlantic current could change because of the drop in water temp would case another Ice Age? Half of North America is on fire right now with the other states flooding and we have had more tornado's and earthquakes than in the past. |
| |
I am as passionate about the hazards posed by global warming as anyone. However, I try to stick to the facts. The claims in your letter are not true. The story about melting on the Greenland ice sheet refers only to the surface area; the Greenland ice sheet is huge and is unlikely to melt before the... Click here for more.

Why did the Russian Antarctic team not wait for clean drilling technology before they broke through the ice surface of Lake Vostok? Now, they have irreparably contaminated the lake water. |
| |
The Russian drilling team claims to have avoided contamination of Lake Vostok by their technique of letting water from the lake enter the bottom of their drill hole and freeze there (since the hole is much colder than the lake water). They also stated that they had insufficient power to use the alte... Click here for more.

Is oxygen a pre-requisite for all known life? I have read that certain organismsacteria survive entirely on radio-active gases, and survive in an environment with little to no oxygen eg in volcanoes. |
| |
The element oxygen is required for life, if nothing else in the form of water (H2O). Oxygen also participates in many of the chemical reactions that are essential to life. However, free molecular oxygen (such as we have in our atmosphere) is not required. Quite the contrary, the appearance of free o... Click here for more.

Hi,I was wondering why there is a theory of nurses and doctors doing an autopsy on some alien bodies from the Roswell crash. |
| |
I don't know of any theory about an autopsy of an alien, but there is a widely-distributed fake film of actors pretending to do such an autopsy. Fox TV aired this fake autopsy film in 1995, although it was purported to have been made 50 years earlier. There is a detailed analysis of this film in fou... Click here for more.

What are some possible alternate environments in which life may have originated? |
| |
We don't know in what environment life originated. Most astrobiologists think it was in mildly salty nutrient-rich water, either in the early ocean or in a smaller sea or pond. Some think that wave action might have been important (suggesting a large body of water), while others note the possible ro... Click here for more.

As we know, mammals and birds are warm blooded. I have four questions regarding this body warmth . . . 1) Did some cold blooded creatures wake up one morning with warm blood? 2) Did cold blooded creatures wake one morning to find warm blooded neighbors? 3) In mammals and birds, which organ produces body heat. 4) What, in the environmen, may have triggered the creation of warm blooded creatures? |
| |
Warm-blooded animals maintain their body temperature at a constant level (called thermal homeostasis). This involves the ability to cool down or produce more body heat. Warm-blooded animals mainly control their body temperature by regulating their metabolic rates. Their higher metabolic rates and co... Click here for more.

Back in the dim, dark ages when dinosaurs and other very large animals roamed the earth, the possibility occurs to me that the earth could have been much smaller than it is today and in a closer orbit to the sun. A smaller earth would mean less gravity so these large animals could move more easily. It would also mean a faster journey in its orbit if it was closer to the sun and seasons (if any) would be shorter. |
| |
The Earth has not changed size, nor orbit, in more than 4 billions years. And dinosaurs were around pretty recently, within the most recent 2 percent of the age of the Earth, not in the "dim dark ages". Besides, you can tell from dinosaur skeletons that they were built to carry heavy loads, just as ... Click here for more.
