There have been countless theories throughout time about how the world will end and how -- or if -- life will cease to exist. At the turn of the 21st century,The new century would bring about total destruction, and no one would survive. Others believe that Earth is slated for another Ice age which will kill off all living things.
And according to astronomers, billions of years from now, the Sun will become a red giant, expanding to a size larger than the Earth's orbit and consuming Earth in the process. Even if the planet somehow survives, the sun will eventually shrink, becoming a white dwarf and gradually cooling off until it can no longer warm anything in the solar system.
The Mayans placed great value in recording their people's history. While they weren't the first civilization to ever use a calendar, they did devise four separate calendars that lasted for discrete time periods. Depending on their needs, the Mayans used different calendars or some combination of two calendars to record each event. Their long count calendar, expires in 2012, leading some to believe that it coincides with an apocalyptic event.
My theory is Mayans never mention anything about destruction or end of world and the calendar might start from the beginning just like after December we go back to January.
My another theory is according with Mayan calendar they didn't have day light saving or Leap year. Mayan Calendar started on 3114 BC and Leap year started on 47 BC and Daylight saving started on 1784 by benjamin franklin. According to the time differences every year we save lots of days and since 47 BC we are getting 1 extra day every 4 years.
So I would say it will take a while for this world to end.
