WORLD GOING TO END ON JUNE 21? - PEOPLE EXPRESS HORROR ON SOCIAL MEDIA! - CHECK OUT WHAT MAYAN CALENDAR SAYS!

The Mayan calendar’s prediction of the world ending in December 2012 has entered the scene yet again after people discovered that according to the Julian calendar we are in the year 2012 and not in 2020.

This surfaced after the New York Times stated that a scientist stated this theory in his now deleted tweets. "The number of days lost in a year due to the shift into Gregorian Calendar is 11 days… For 268 years using the Gregorian Calendar (1752-2020) times 11 days = 2,948 days. 2,948 days / 365 days (per year) = 8 years," he wrote.

However, NASA said, "For any claims of disaster or dramatic changes in 2012, where is the science? Where is the evidence? There is none, and for all the fictional assertions, whether they are made in books, movies, documentaries or over the Internet, we cannot change that simple fact."

The CEO of the Dubai Astronomy Group, Hasan Al Hariri said, “Science is elegant and beautiful, but it requires an effort to understand. This is a golden opportunity to educate people. Any person with a scientific temperament, not necessarily a scientist, cannot support these types of messages."

After this theory started spreading like wild fire, meme makers have had a field day. Here are some of them:
