Should be the biggest party night ever tonight. Its galactic new years eve. Only happens every 26000 years. 26x rarer than the millenium 
OK so the world ends tomorrow accordiong to some but............
- Thread starter Manacles
- Start date
Call it new long count eve then.
How does anyone know how long it takes the galaxy to revolve? I doubt the 250 million years is correct either. But of course, you are aware that the duration of the revolution is variable depending on your position relative to the centre....... Closer to the centre....less time than the outer rim. For example..
One year on Mercury is on average 88 earth days.
One year on pluto is 248 earth years.
So the 250million year galactic orbit may be true, somewhere. As might the 26000 years one.

Yes I know, there is only so much booze to go around.
Was it ending this morning or later tonight, as I've got some stuff that needs doing, and I don't want to miss it 
Seriously though, the distinct lack of anything Armageddon like this morning over me porridge, was to say the least! Not a surprise. The sky seems almost blank with its lack of killer planets, or large asteroids, and the Sun does seem fairly quiet on the raining death from above kinda score. And I imagine a lot of people are going to feel really silly tomorrow and spend the next 12 months really getting ribbed from their mates.
Anyway have a happy non-end of the world Day to one and all

If the end if the Mayan calendar was the 21st, does that mean the world ends on the 22nd?

Not neccessarily
.............in 2022 the comet Schwassmann-Wachmann (try saying that when you've had a few) will be skimming the earth & fragmenting, showering us with some interesting debris..........doubt I'll be here to see it though However this looks like something worth watching out for & not long to wait http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2410192,00.asp
