by Dr. Cliff Pickover

2012: End of the World!

The factors of 2012 are: 1, 2, 4, 503, 1006, and 2012.

And 1006 is the year of the brightest supernova ever recorded.

And 503 is the error code that means "server unavailable."

And 4 refers to the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.

Thus, the world will end in 2012.



Mathematicians know that 2012 is indeed
the end of the world, based on factors.
The factors of 2012 are: 1, 2, 4, 503, 1006, and 2012.
The Tortuguero monument (above) associates
the end of the 13th b'ak'tun
with the appearance of Bolon Yokte' K'uh,
shown here on the Vase of Seven Gods.
