Today was quite a red letter day for mankind. The end of an era, the birth of another. Today ends the Mayan Calendar, but what it really signifies is the cross of the equitorial plane of the galaxy.
It's a little hard to explain, but think of the galactic plane as a clock that the center of the galaxy and the sun make. On this date, the clock strikes midnight and a new "day" begins. This is the day that the path of the sun travels directly perpendicular to the plane of the Milky Way Galaxy.
What will this day mean for mankind? Other than some anticipation of some great celestial event, some significant moment, nothing will be different. There will be no booming voice from the sky...for the celestial clock does not chime like Big Ben.
An event of great significance will occur on this day, but it will be several generations before we will even know what it is.
There will be great dissapointment on this day, for no one knows the single event that will change our lives forever.
