Dr.Krupp

Featured Topic: The Truth About 2012
Dr. E. C. Krupp, Director, Griffith Observatory, presents Time's Up According to the rules of the Maya calendar system, a primary interval ends on the winter solstice, 2012. Recent claims promote the date's galactic alignment and link it with the detailed structure of the Milky Way Galaxy, information known only though modern astronomy. Dr. Krupp will detail how the 2012 beliefs about global transformation, solar system alignment, rogue planets, catastrophic pole shifts, and calamitous sunspots have been fabricated and marketed and what the universe is really doing on the winter solstice in 2012.
