NASA has taken a novel approach to addressing concerns regarding an end-of-the-world controversy revolving around the 2012 concept illustrated by the upcoming movie.

In the FAQ web page that NASA has set up, the group poses answers to common questions regarding the apocalypse theory popularized by the Hollywood movie and internet “gurus”. While NASA acknowledges that the Mayan calendar technically does end in winter 2012, they reiterate that that doesn’t connote the end of the world in itself.

“Our planet has been getting along just fine for more than 4 billion years, and credible scientists know of no threat associated with 2012,” NASA writes in one of the notes in the web page.

The web page aims to derail a number of allegedly “credible” theories associated with the 2012 apocalypse, including hoaxes about the Earth colliding with a distant planet, or about the Earth suddenly reversing poles, resulting in massive environmental imbalance.

“There is no factual basis for these claims, If Nibiru or Planet X were real and headed for an encounter with the Earth in 2012, astronomers would have been tracking it for at least the past decade, and it would be visible by now to the naked eye,” NASA concludes.
