How do we know the sun is moving into the most active part of its 11-year cycle? For starters, we can plainly see it.

Toward The 'Solar Maximum' NASA/SDO

Every time the sun lashes out with another beautiful but potentially threatening solar flare or coronal mass ejection, we are reminded that the naturally occurring solar cycle is approaching a “solar maximum” in 2013 and that solar activity is on the ascent. But what does that mean? If you’re having a hard time picturing an active ball of flaming nuclear fusion versus a less-active ball of flaming nuclear fusion, simply see above.

Solar maximum (and minimum) are terms that describe whether we are at a peak or a trough in the sun’s natural 11-year cycle, and they are determined by counting the number of sunspots visible on the surface of the sun during a given cycle. The most recent minimum occurred in 2008 and the sun is now building toward another maximum--a shift in activity that is very clearly visible here.

Not to sound like a crazy person, but this is more due to the impending crossing of the galactic equator then the 11 year cycle. I'm surprised that any and all inquiries into the rise in earthquakes, increase in solar activity (which could be a part of the equation of gloabal warming) and decrease in the schuman resonance are relegated to pseudo-science. Fluids in the southern hemisphere of earth spin a different direction then fluids in the north. Why wouldn't the same principle apply to the galaxy, and when we cross the mid-point on dec 21 and 22 2012? A change in the spin of fluids affecting (the internal workings) of our sun and solar system could be the culprit for all of this.

Conspiracy nuts aside, the actual prediction for 2012 by the toltecs (the mayans stole it from the toltecs) was earthquakes, floods and tidal waves, with the world being changed for the better. (their actual term was "reborn")

This is the natural peak of the cycle, which people have known about for years. For you not jobs who still believe in the Mayan doomsday and December 21, they didn't account for leap year, so their calendar is not directly aligned with ours. the "end of the world" actually should have happened approximately 693 days before this coming December 21.
There is absolutely no evidence for a galactic alignment, universal alignment, and there isn't even going to be anything more than a lunar alignment, if that. The sun is also statistically less active this peak than it has been in over 75 years. So much for the end of the world.

New and old Science

A new and Progressive Science shows how Wavevolution, or the transformation from waves to atoms, is the connecting link that closes the circle of science to open our eyes toward new horizons never seen before.

The bureaucracy of traditional science prevents the recognition of any event unless certain criteria are first met. The problem of this science is buried deep in the compilation of these "laws" or criteria introduced by a few scientists in the name of all science and from their erroneous understanding of the relation between Space and Time. This antiquated system of rules also results in misleading theories.

For example, Space is not “curved”.

In Einstein's paradigm, a stone that falls on the ground from the window of a moving train also marks one parabola in Space. Although, this path is only apparent since the Earth is also moving and the Time spent by the stone to reach the ground has also changed to some degree that imaginary vertical line. At the Time of the initial Movement when the stone falls from the window, its potential trajectory is one perpendicular Space that is no longer the same as the stone continues to move until it hits the ground. If the scientist had known that the coordinates of Space in Time are unique and unrepeatable then all the rest would have also been "straight". That perpendicular is straight but accounted as “curve” because of the limits of science unable to recognize the issue of simultaneity. In reference to each body on each moment in Time there are always only two coordinates in Space for one perpendicular.
And with two coordinates there is no curve.
One perpendicular is unrepeatable and never the same because while the measure of it is repeatable and any measurement can be applied for different segments instead one perpendicular marked in Time is like an imprint on clay or one mold that is never again the same.
The perpendicular changes in Time but Einstein believed that the concept of Space is independent from the concept of Time.

Another example is in the special theory of relativity which denies all absolutes and meanings of truth. This is in regard to Einstein's example of two beams of light hitting one same embankment of a railroad on two Points: Point A and Point B. In between the two there is also the middle point, Point M. If one train were to run over that track then on the train we would also have Point A1 on the wagon of the train correspondent to above Point A and also one other corresponding Point B1 right above Point B. We would also have on the train the corresponding Point M1 above Point M. Einstein's theory is that as for Point M (not moving because on the embankment) those two beams are simultaneous and equidistant, instead, for the passenger sitting on M1 and moving towards Point B1 (and also toward Point B) the two beams are not simultaneous because the beam in Point B1 is being approached by the moving train, therefore closer to M1. In this example, while Einstein’s concept of Time is rigidly kept unchanged in regard to the embankment, instead, the concept of Space is extended also to the next moment in Time when the traveler will move even if in that precise instant the traveler has not moved yet. Since the concept of simultaneity had been put aside, Einstein considered Time to be the same while Space instead had changed.

Also, this same scientist erroneously believed that all colors in the light spectrum travel at the same speed.

Much confusion comes from these approximations.

One new Awareness will be found in between the winding creativity of the human mind and the rigid logic of numbers.

The fact of the geomagnetic reversal and the sunrise from the west in Islam religion opinion

The Islam's prophet, prophet Mohamed (God's blessing and peace be upon him) told since more than 1400 years ago that God (Allah) told him that the judgment day has many indications before it, these indications will take years and years before the judgment day itself, and these indications are divided to small indications and big indications, concerning the small indications all Muslims know that during the time from prophet Mohamed (God's blessing and peace be upon him) to today the all of small indications are completed, and now the Muslims are waiting for the first indication of the big indications.

One of these big indications is the sunrise from the west, this matter the God (Allah) told it in Holy Quran and the prophet Mohamed (God's blessing and peace be upon him) explained it since more than 1400 years ago at people lived in tents in desert, these people had not any technology or scientific progress, nowadays the scientists say about the geomagnetic reversal, and reversal of the terrestrial magnetic field due to a shift of the axis of the planet, so the scientists expect that in December 21, 2012 and they say that the result of the geomagnetic reversal is disaster and destruction and end of world, but the Muslims do not say that because they believe that the result of the geomagnetic reversal (when this happens) is just the sunrise from the west, but also the Muslims know that this matter is very important because it is a big indication of the judgment day and has an important meaning for them, but the sunrise from the west do not mean the judgment day itself because there are many big indications must be completed and will take years before the judgment day itself.

Why the Muslims know that sunrise from the west is very important?

It is very important because the God (Allah) told in Holy Quran that always if the believers do something wrong or sin, and when they ask the God (Allah) to forgive them, then the God (Allah) will forgive them and accept their repentance immediately, also the God (Allah) accept the unbelievers when they want to be believers immediately, but after the sunrise from the west the God (Allah) will not forgive any believer do any wrong or sin and will not accept the repentance, also the God (Allah) will not accept any unbeliever which want to be believer.

The God (Allah) says in Holy Quran:

(V.6:158) Do they then wait for anything other than that the angels should come to them, or that your Lord (Allah) should come, or that some of the Signs of your Lord should come (i.e. portents of the judgment day e.g., rising of the sun from the west)! The day that some of the Signs of your Lord do come, no good will it do to a person to believe then, if he believed not before, nor earned good (by performing deeds of righteousness) through his Faith. Say: "Wait you! we (too) are waiting."

And the Allah’s Messenger prophet Mohamed (God's blessing and peace be upon him) explained that in the Hadith books as follows:

A) Narrated Abu Hurairah (may God be pleased with him): Allah’s Messenger prophet Mohamed (God's blessing and peace be upon him) said, "The judgment day will not be established until the sun rises from the west; and when the people see it, then whoever will be living on the surface of the earth, will have faith, and that is (the time) when no good will it do to a person to believe then, if he believed not before." (6:158) (Sahih Al-Bukhârî, Vol.6, Hadith No.159).

B) Narrated Abu Hurairah (may God be pleased with him): Allah’s Messenger prophet Mohamed (God's blessing and peace be upon him) said; "When the following three signs appear, no good will it do to a person to believe then if he believed not before:
1) Rising of the sun from the west.
2) The coming of Al-Masih-Ad-Dajjal.
3) The coming out of the Dabbat-ul-Ard (i.e. a beast from the earth)." (Sahih Muslim - The Book of Fitan - The Signs of the coming of the judgment day).

C) Narrated Anas (may God be pleased with him): Allah’s Messenger prophet Mohamed (God's blessing and peace be upon him) said, "No Prophet was sent but that he warned his followers against the one-eyed liar (Al-Masih-Ad-Dajjal). Beware! He is blind in one eye, and your Lord is not so, and there will be written between his (Al-Masih-Ad-Dajial’s) eyes (the word) Kafir (i.e., disbeliever)." [This Hadith is also quoted by Abu Hurairah and Ibn ‘Abbas. (Sahih Al-Bukhari, Vol.9, Hadith No.245)].

D) Alhafez ibn Mrdwia said that Abdullah ibn Abi Awfa said that Allah’s Messenger prophet Mohamed (God's blessing and peace be upon him) said; "will come on people a night adjusted three nights and then the worshipers at night will know that, someone reads his prayer then sleeps then wakes up and reads his prayer then sleeps then wakes up and all time is still night, then the people shouted and said what is this? and then they will go to the mosques, after that the sun will rise from the west, then no benefit a person to believe, if he not believed before"

What the different between the forecast of the ancient civilizations such as Maya and the opinion of Islam?

The forecast of the ancient civilizations like Maya said about earth disaster and end of world generally without any explanation or clarification so it is something like astrology, but the opinion of Islam which based on the information from the God (Allah) to his messenger prophet Mohamed (God's blessing and peace be upon him) which mentioned in Holy Quran and explained by the prophet in the Hadith books clarify and explain the matter exactly as one of the big indications of the judgment day and there are many big indications after that and will take period of time between big indication and the other and finally the judgment day itself will come, worth mentioning that all the Muslims know exactly about all the indications of the judgment day and what will happen in each indication precisely, also all the Muslims know exactly about the judgment day itself and what will happen precisely, more than this all the Muslims know what will happen in the grave after the death and in both of the paradise and the hell because the God (Allah) informed his messenger prophet Mohamed (God's blessing and peace be upon him) about all of the matters mentioned above in Holy Quran and explained by the prophet in the Hadith books, but the God (Allah) did not inform about the time of neither indications nor the judgment day.

Everybody should be remember that Allah’s Messenger prophet Mohamed (God's blessing and peace be upon him) said, "The judgment day will not be established until the sun rises from the west; and when the people see it, then whoever will be living on the surface of the earth, will have faith, and that is (the time) when no good will it do to a person to believe then, if he believed not before." (6:158) (Sahih Al-Bukhârî, Vol.6, Hadith No.159).

So if the scientists nowadays expect the geomagnetic reversal in December 21, 2012 then the sun will rise from the west, so before this matter all the people on the earth should be believe in Islam before it is too late.

Islam is the final religion to the judgment day and it is complete and complement the all religions before, and the prophet Mohamed (God's blessing and peace be upon him) is the last of the prophets.

Islam is the final religion therefore it contains more information and knowledge which talks with the mind by logic and very easy to understand, the Holy Quran contains more information and things which discovered scientifically newly in geography and botany, astronomy and other fields, also the Holy Quran present information in embryology so the Holy Quran describes the development of embryo growth in the womb (the stages of the embryonic development), and so much more information which discovered scientifically newly.

These things the God (Allah) told it in Holy Quran since more than 1400 years ago at people lived in tents in desert, these people had not any technology or scientific progress.

This is very clear evidence to confirm that the Holy Quran came from the God (Allah) and Islam is really religion like Judaism and Christianity and everyone necessarily should be believe that.

Nowadays so much people are believing Islam and became Muslims in USA and Europe and Fare East, did anybody someday ask himself why?

Everybody must read about Islam, many people around the world became Muslims that because they listened and read about Islam and knew more information, understood it and became convinced of it, perhaps the decision is not easy in the beginning but with more right information the decision become very easy, easy … but important.

Everybody should be believe in Islam before rising of the sun from the west ... before it is too late.

Thanks for your time and best regards

Good grief, can Dec 21st hurry up and pass? This story is a magnet for those who've never read a science book. What's your plan after the 21st? May I kindly suggest taking a class in Astronomy, or whatever interests you.

I wonder if the sun can affect or have an effect on the earth’s weather patterns HMMMMMMMMM. All life is attributed to its existence, the seasons…and YES weather. Global warming and cooling is caused by the sun. I wonder why some people can’t wrap their minds around that??

ElRickoSuave,
Humans adapt to different regions on Earth and adapt to seasonal changes. A great many cultures typically do much planning around the 1 year, 365 day cycle.
For the Mayans they did planning with the 5,126 years. And as for 21Dec2012, it just means a new calendar comes out December 22.

So for all you Mayans that might still exist, I like to wish you a Happy 5126 NEW YEARS!!!!

No worries!;)

Global warming is real.
