According to the Mayan calendar, the end of the world will fall on December 21. This has been a reason for many to panic over the last few years as this information has been made common knowledge.

However, there is no reason to be concerned.

While the Mayan calendar is known for its accuracy and stunningly remarkable consistency, there is no scientific evidence to support this conclusion. In fact, NASA has released a statement explaining the situation.

“The story started with claims that Nibiru, a supposed planet discovered by the Sumerians, is headed toward Earth. This catastrophe was initially predicted for May 2003, but when nothing happened the doomsday date was moved forward to December 2012 and linked to the end of one of the cycles in the ancient Mayan calendar at the winter solstice in 2012 — hence the predicted doomsday date of December 21, 2012."

To apprease the public, they added: “For any claims of disaster or dramatic changes in 2012, where is the science? Where is the evidence? There is none, and for all the fictional assertions, whether they are made in books, movies, documentaries or over the Internet, we cannot change that simple fact. There is no credible evidence for any of the assertions made in support of unusual events taking place in December 2012.”

While the lack of imminent danger is certainly a relief, citizens still need to be cautious on December 21. While there is no proof that the end of the world will occur, dangerous situations can take place in the face of stressful situations. Be aware of the possibility of riots, looting, and an overall rise in crime.

There is a light at the end of the tunnel, though. Peace Club is holding its End of the World Benefit Concert Thursday, December 20 for students, teachers, and community members to attend. Orange County has the option to rock out and spend their money on a good cause. After all, if the end of the world actually occurs, you can’t take your money with you.
