Research Into 'The End of The World'

The End of The World (or Doomsday) is an event which always circulates from time to time as a rumour, every few years. Even from being back in primary school I can remember hearing everyone saying the world's going to end, so even the phrase is has become recycled so much that it doesn't really hold any meaning it's almost a figure of speech.

Perhaps maybe the most possible prediction of the world ending is that of the 2012 phenomenon. According to eschatological beliefs cataclysmic and transformative events will occur on the 21st December 2012 as well this Mesoamerican Long Count calender runs out in 2012 leaving some people to believe that this has been a date prophesied by many since ancient times.

As well as the end of the world take that I could approach with this project, as a class we have also looked at the the Voyager programme, several unmanned space missions that consists of a pair of unmanned scientific probes.  On the probes were golden records which carry pictures and sounds of life on Earth as well as symbolic directions for playing the record. The record is a time capsule yet also a message to other possible races on information about Earth.

Below you can see a picture of the golden record.
