So basicly the belief is that in 2012 the world will pass through the center of the unaverse. They believe this might have a effect similer to that of the seasons changing. the only difference is instead of happening slowly it happens fast. However, the seasons don't change the polar axis do. This will cause the planet to stop spinning and spin the other way. Which then causes all the water to flood one part of the world then sway back and flood the other. At least thats my understanding about whats ment to happen on 2012. Then again in the bible God says he will not destroy the planet again by water so... That means this can't happen right.
