Is the world really supposed to end in 2012?

This whole saga of the world is going to end in 2012 came from the predictions in the Mayan calendar. The last day on the Mayan calendar which ran for 5,126 years is on December 21, 2012.

My personal view is the calendar has to end somewhere. It could have been any other day. So I do not believe the world is going to end.

What will be interesting is .. if you are into astronomy (and the mayans were great astronomers I must add) on December 21 2012, the sun will be aligned with the center of the Milky Way for the first time in about 26,000 years! :)
