Hell, the world is not recreated everynight when the time goes from 23:59 to 00:00.
IDK what else you are referring too tho. Our solar system is embedded as a part of the Milky way galaxy and moves with it. The magnetic poles flip quite often (in geological time.) Its even occured during the lifetime of the Homo genus and we survived (not that Palin believes in either biological interpretation of Homo...lol.) The sun flips its poles more than once a decade.
Should make for a fun FX movie tho. There are a few others coming out that looks cool. Wonder about that Avatar movie... Reminds me of Halo for some reason.

I wasn't so much in reference to any calendar, good point though.. but instead on how the planets all align and the sun will blast through the Milky Way to us... this is the event that has some thinking.. Idk about any of the other doomsday speculation. I mean if the Mayan calendar was deliberately made to end on this day that would be something :) I'm of the mind that humans had some assistance w/ the great pyramids and other grand builds that we pretty much couldn't build even today with all our technology and glory, so who knows maybe someone helped w/ such a detailed calendar.
