Is it common for there to be an Earth-Sun-Galactic Center alignment? With such an alignment you could draw a straight line from earth, via sun, to the galactic center. Are data known?

There is a lot of talk about the date 12/21/2012. One theory is that a lot of energy from the galactic center will then reach the Earth and our solar system via our sun. Does this occur? Is this exceptional? Can it be calculated when such an alignment takes place? It is said that if you were to draw a line around 12/21/2012 from the earth through the place where the sun rises in those days and extend this line far, you would end up in the galactic center.

Answer

Yes, you yourself have experienced such an alignment 52 times. That just happens EVERY YEAR around December 22nd.
Have you ever noticed anything? So why, should it be any different in 2012?

Second, why would the center send that exact energy to Earth on that one day? The center doesn’t “know” that there is an earth revolving around the sun, the sun is one of the 100 billion stars, does it? Surely the center doesn’t “know” that Mayas lived here and that they drew up a calendar?
From the center of the galaxy, the angle between the line to the Sun and the line to Earth never exceeds 0.000 000 036 degrees. Why should the center have to wait until December 21 when the angle has been almost zero all year round.

A CALENDAR or a DATE are not physical concepts, they are inventions of man. So nature cannot take it into account.

And between the center and the earth there is so much matter that that energy would never get here. The center of the galaxy is completely shielded by gigantic interstellar clouds. They would absorb that energy. We cannot see that center, and therefore that center cannot “see” us. Surely there is no evil energy cannon in the center of the galaxy that shoots at planets where calendars are ending.

Do I need to add more arguments?

You see, this is another pseudo-scientific statement that is in fact completely nonsensical, but that is being sent into the world by people who simply like to spread all kinds of sensational hypotheses (not theories!). The famous mysterious planet X, Niburu, is one of those. If they were there, we could have detected them long ago from disturbances in the orbits of the other planets. But yes, it is sensational and it sells.

It’s good that you don’t just believe that nonsense.

No, believe me, all that 2012 drama is nonsense. There is no scientific reason to expect anything special at the end of 2012. Have you seen a single scientific proof? On the contrary, all sensational hypotheses can easily be disproved scientifically;
Again: the calendar is an invention of man, and the planets or the interior of the earth, or the sun, really don’t care about it. The magma in the earth is certainly not waiting until December 2012 for a volcano to erupt or an earthquake to happen. Each civilization has its own calendar. Why don’t the others also stop in 2012?

Believing in the prediction of the Mayan calendar ending in 2012 is as absurd as thinking that the highway from Eindhoven to Germany suddenly stops somewhere in the middle of the fields because you have reached the edge of your road map, and therefore at that place in the world would fall.

I go even further : suppose that on that particular day in 2012, let’s say, there is a major earthquake. What then does that prove?
The credulous will say “you see”, but think for a moment: It is not because two things (earthquake and end of the Mayan calendar) happen simultaneously that there is a causal relationship. Such a connection has to be proven, and for all possible hypotheses about 2012, no evidence has ever been provided. Science is based on sound, verifiable and repeatable evidence. Not on sensational fantasies.
