(Light year is the distance something moves while traveling 299792458 meters per second in one year) That would be 40thousand. But obviously our solar system is not traveling at the speed of light towards the center of the galaxy according to laws of relativity. You're missing the point. What they meant by alignment is that from Earth's perspective, the sun will coincide with the center of our milky way in the sky. It has nothing to do with the physical distance between our solar system and the center of the milky way. On August 24 2007 18:58 TheFoReveRwaR wrote: Umm?  Just so it's clear, they havent taken any pictures of our own galaxy. They simply know what it looks like through telescopic observation and then use computer rendering to create the images.That picture is simply a photo of another galaxy similar to our own. We know roughly the size, shape etc of our own galaxy, so using a picture of another galaxy thats similar to our own is a good enough approximation to illustrate where our solar system lies in our own galaxy. In fact it is actually the Southern Pinwheel Galaxy of which photos are quite common: http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/image/0512/m83_vlt.jpg | ||

I thought the history channel had great shows on the ancient world and all sorts of other things, 2-3 years ago they did the series on the french revolution and it was great. They fucked up. | ||

well obviously I don't know what the end of a calender means for the mayans, but all of their other predictions were very precise. | ||

That prediction about the europeans coming could have been whatever, who knows if it was even tampered with when the europeans actually did come. Ya some guy with a beard was supposed to come out of the sea yadayada, I also saw (maybe it was in the video posted) that their numbers dwindled around 800 AD because they thought something was going to happen too. We need to remember that these guys were intelligent, but they were also 5 ft tall so their predictions cannot be taken seriously. | ||
