8. Y2K For months before the stroke of midnight on Jan. 1, 2000, analysts speculated that entire computer networks would crash because of the global population that had become irreversibly dependent on computers.

9. Large Hadron Collider Potentially Creates a Black Hole Large Enough to Swallow the Earth The Large Hadron Collider that stretches 27 km between France and Switzerland is the largest particle accelerator ever built and was set to be turned on on September 10, 2008 to recreate the Big Bang. It was built by Cern. The hadron particles within the accelerator would be crashed into each other at a speed almost as great as the speed of light in an area a billion times smaller than a speck of dust.

16. We are interested in what people think about the end of the world. The purpose of this report is to show different opinions of the people. The reason for this is to show you what people think and some failed,,End of the world’’. We asked some groups of people to calculate how many of them think in 21.12.12 the end of the world will happen and how many of them don’t think so.

20. Those 25 kids who know about 2012 think that’s not true and it’s only a legend (myth). They said that there’s no way to end and they don’t think the idea of being trapped in black hole is realistic. Some of them think that just the calendar of the Maya have ended or it’s just fiction of some crazy people with big imagination.

21. 6 of the boys haven’t heard about the end of the world in 2012, 7 think this is nonsense and the other 2 believe that there will be natural disasters and floods. 9 of the girls believe that there will be floods and natural disasters, 3 of them believe in the legend of the Maya and other 3 believe that nothing will change.

22. A lot of old people didn’t hear about the end of the world in 2012. 17 people of this group think this,,end of the world’’ is deception and distract people from important and essential things. They think these rumors are interesting but are nonsenses and it won’t happen. And if there is a end of the world it will be caused by the wars.

23. We found that, on the whole, people don’t believe in these predictions.Convey the idea that the world will end, people miss the good things about themselves and reduces their quality of life. We recommend that people must believe in their own future and luck because the fate knows best when will something start or end for everyone of us.
