BEWARE…
Web-bot project makes prophecy of December 21, 2012 apocalypse. Earth’s polarity to shift.
Was Ondoy simply an appetizer?
The tsunami disaster in Indonesia in 2004. Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans in 2005. The Red Dust Storm in Sydney. And now, Ondoy in the Philippines.
The planet is being pummelled by natural disasters every year, and it seems that people could care less until a continent is wiped out. It’s no secret that typhoon Ketsana (Ondoy) was ruthless as it hurled its way through the course of the Asia Pacific. It flooded the whole metro and other nearby rural areas, leaving hundreds homeless and others corpses. NCR became a waterworld of sorts. We all know that a typhoon is measured by the speed of wind it produces. However, the amount of rainfall was sporadic. Weather pundits from PAGASA mentioned that this was far from the usual. They say a phenomenon occurred wherein the typhoon stopped moving, and remained stoic in a particular area for awhile. Katrina’s rainfall just amounted to 250 millimeters in New Orleans in 2005, it was nothing compared to Ondoy. Ondoy doused a total of 455 millimeters of rain in Quezon City alone.
It was only a linchpin of things to come.
Web spiders have captured the attention of conspiracy theorists which claim that these spider bots gave accurate predictions about the 9/11 Attacks and the 2004 Boxing Day Tsunami. Now, they predict that a global catastrophe will hit the Earth on December 21, 2012.
Orginally, the software used that is similar in nature with the Internet spiders that search engines to index web pages was intended to predict stock market conditions in the 1990’s. These bots scan through relevan pages, then note keywords while examining the text within them. Such method constitutes into a more intriguing theory known as “Wisdom of the Crowds”, where a plethora of thoughts from millions of people are amalgamated.
George Ure, one of the two men behind this software, has predicted a world-changing event in 90 days after June. It gave advanced warnings of terrorist attacks, and the technology was very advance that it has predicted it on September 11, 2001.
Although some are skeptic regarding the vagueness of such “computed prediction”, most people actually believe it’s true. George Ure and company is very confident that their web bot technology is precise feasible, that it has foresaw the “ocean-quake” in Indonesia and Hurricane Katrina’s wrath as well.
The latest and most stunning prediction is that 21 December 2012 is the end for this planet. A polar shift will happen, which will reverse the polarity of the Earth’s magnetic field. The prediction of Ure’s web bots is proclaimed in other prophecies as well. The 2012 apocalypse is predicted in ancient Mayan calendar, the Book of Revelations, and the Chinese text I-Ching.
Funny thing is, a film based on the 2012 ruckus is being produced by The Day After Tomorrow director Roland Emmerich is due in November called “2012”. More likely than not, this, of course, will generate more stir in the 2012 predictions and debate.
While the Ure’s web bot theory is like a movie, the Polar Shift Theory is based on genuine scientific findings, in which a “geomagnetic reversal” happens every few hundred thousand years resulting to a significant shifting in the Earth’s polarity. Experts say it has yet to be deemed relevant with the web bot theory. They mentioned that it takes 5,000 years for each shift to culminate.
The predictions are vague to meaningless. Believers tend to fit and connect facts to predictions causing a string of absurdity regarding one accurate general prediction. For instance, a blogger of dailycommonsense.com compares his take on the 9/11 prediction with Nostradamus’s quatrains. The prophecies per se will eventually self-distort. “The more people publish about 2012 and the end of the world,” says the same blogger, “the more data web bots get pointing towards 2012.” With this in mind, predictions would go from wary to blurry.
At first, it looks like some cliché plot for a disaster movie, which makes skeptics say that the 2012 theory is flawed. Critics say that, while the Internet bot can reveal group knowledge about terror attacks or stock market meltdowns due to the fact that it’s human-initiated events, it’s not capable of predicting a natural disaster more than a Google search would.
But if you look at it, there lies the answer: everything about the weather nowadays can’t be predicted by humans anymore.
By the way, the Red Dust Storm in Sydney was “red” because of iron-oxide i.e. rust. If it was too concentrated in the air, people would’ve died.
