1. The Mayans didn't predict the end of the world, just the end-date of their calender. The world doesn't end every year when our calenders end, does it_
2. Even if they had predicted it, the date would be wrong anyway, since our original "translation" of the calender is wrong, and could be off by as much as 50-100 years.

And this is serious. NASA has been getting letters from people, mostly kids and teens, who are considering suicide because they're afraid that the apocalypse is coming. So, let me be clear.
THE WORLD WILL NOT END. THERE IS NO SANE WAY ON THIS EARTH OR ANY OTHER THAT THE WORLD WILL END ON DECEMBER 21st.

The mathematicians who have done the math to figure out the date the mayans calendar would have ended I would have hope to at least taken this into account.

I remember reading a press release put out in advance of the film 2012 (the disaster movie) by a community in South America that were descendants of the Mayans. The press release amounted to "Please stop perpetuating the myth that our ancestors predicted an apocalypse in 2012. It's not true, and you are disrespecting our people and culture as well as our ancestors and their culture. 2012 wasn't even supposed to be a movie about the Mayan apocalypse, it was just a disaster movie, and then very early on in production someone went "hmmmm, isn't there this Mayan thing coming up_" and the movie tied itself into the myth.

+1, it's plain simple the mayans in their calendars told about the end of an age not of the humanity, like the end of bronze age, etc etc, there's no need for be nervous about the end of the world.

And if you're religious and you think God will punish us for our sins then I'm not even going to try and prove you wrong, I'm not going to subject myself to that torture.

1. In order for it to approach the inner solar system on anything like the orbit it's claimed to have, astronomers would've been able to spot it for the last decade with all of the ground and space telescopes we've been launching to scan the skies and map out as many objects in the solar system as we can find. Astronomical objects can't hide from us.
2. Even if Nibiru somehow hid from us until it was able to approach within the orbit of Mars, if it were to be getting close to hit us, it would be the brightest object in the sky other than the moon and the sun. You wouldn't need to trust any scientist (if you're a believer that NASA is somehow in on a global conspiracy), you would be able to see it with your own eyes. The sky looks normal here. Look any different to you_
3. If Nibiru existed, the orbits of the planets would be completely disrupted compared to the stable, long-term orbital systems we observe.
