Could the consolidated gravity of the 2012 Planetary Line-up send a huge shower of ice in from the Kuiper Belt?
Absolutely not possible at all. Even if there were some alignment that everyone seems to keep on talking about, the distances are just too great to make ANY difference on any planetary body.
★ This is what the REAL LIFE scientists at NASA have to say about it.

There is no reputable scientist that will say or agree that there is any ‘proof’ at any of all this doomsday junk. Name even one. You can’t because there are none. No Mayan prediction. No Nostradamus prediction. No enormous solar flare. No pole shift. No meteor impact. No Galactic alignment. No planet x. No planet Nibiru. "They" are not building underground bunkers. Nothing at all will happen.
What you saw was a commercial for a Hollywood movie. The producers want you to go to their movie so they can have your money in their pockets. There is no superstition involved. There is no ancient prophecy. The only thing that motivates this entire hoax, mass fear among teens, and lack of common sense, is Greed. Pure greed. It’s the producer’s job to make it look as real as they can.
And on a personal note, you should really try not to blaspheme the name of the Lord or the Lord’s son like that. Even "OMG" is really wrong. Try to teach yourself to say something else like holy cow or some other word instead. I know that you are not intentionally offending people by using those words, but people are offended when you do.The planets NEVER line up in a straight line. Their orbits prevent an actual straight alignment.
The sun has over 99% of the total MASS of the solar system. If an ant walked on your shoe would you know it was there?
2012 is a complete 100% junk science hoax.
http://www.2012hoax.orgYou mean this planetary line up: http://www.fourmilab.ch/cgi-bin/Solar?date=1&utc=2012%2F12%2F21+11%3A12%3A00&jd=2476948.34564&img=-k0&sys=-Sf&eyes=0&imgsize=320&orb=-b0&lat=47%B0&ns=North&lon=7%B0&ew=East&hlat=90%B0&hns=North&hlon=0%B0&elements=
Not much of a lineup is it. The consolidated gravity of this lot might shift a Kuiper belt object a few feet. Hardly anything to get excited about.What planetary line-up?
Even if all the planets in the solar system somehow lined up (which is impossible), it wouldn’t do a thing. The sun contains 99.86% of the system’s known mass and dominates it gravitationally.There will be no planetary alignment. RIght now Jupiter is on the opposite side of the Sun from Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. Given the length of time it takes those planets to complete one orbit, Jupiter won’t have swung around to that side of the Sun by 2012.
I don’t know where the idea of a planetary alignment in 2012 comes from, but I do know anyone peddling information about it has never taken the trouble to find out for themselves where the planets are in the sky and how they move.Of all theories put forth to support 2012 doomsday, planetary lineup has the least probability and least possibility of bringing any effect. I can’t remember the exact number but the closest we can get to a planetary lineup is over a hundred trillion years, more than the lifespan of the sun itself and that planets don’t lie on the same plane. You caused quite a stir here. Hehehehe..,
Clear skies!"There seems to be a lot of information about the 2012 Planet line up on the net. Is it all fiction?"
That’s a polite way of putting it.
A key clue is that you won’t find mention of such a line up on any scientific or astronomical website.No.
Planetary alignments do exist, in astrology, and they are rare, but in the 5bn years that the Earth has been around, it has experienced (and probably casued) several hundred without splitting in half, or attracting comet swarms or crashing into jupiter.

There’s no evidence for any of the million and one doomsday theories which litter the web, and in attempting to cast 2012 as the latest cinematic armageddon, there seems to be another considerable industry developing around scaring the living bejeebers out of everyone. Remember the Y2K bug? Oh yeah, there was no Y2K bug, but it didn’t stop large numbers of people getting rich by selling protection against the inevitable end of civilisation that the bug would bring. (PROTIP: They were banging on about a planetary alignment during the doomsday of the Millenium as well, May 5 2000 was some kind of Grand Quincunx, or other astrological flibbertigibbet that was going to cause widespread earthwuakes and mass destruction)
Besides, everyone knows that 2012 is the time when the cosmic messiah will return from hyperdimensional space and change the world into pure zero-point energy and lead us all to the next level of human development, freed from the shadow of corporeal existence. With aliens.
Oh, and finally, to the sanctimonious person above who doesn’t like OMG – I’m a hindu, and I find your use of "holy cow" do be pretty offensive. So you just can’t win really.There were more planets "lined up" in July 2009 than there will be in December 2012.
All the talk of planetary line ups causing disaster is a lie. It was a lie in 1999-2000 and it is a lie now. The gravitational fields of the planets are too weak. The gravitational attraction between any two objects depends on the product of their masses DIVIDED by the square of the distance between them. Because the distances are pretty great, the attractions are small.
Apart from that, an object starting from the Kuiper belt now for whatever reason would not approach the inner solar system for several decades, more than a century.
The only way that these whackos can keep going on about this is because some people took no science at school and others have forgotten anything they did learn, that is, if they were not busy texting someone.
You can guarantee that if those who are not completely nuts are saying this then they have something to sell, maybe only attracting people to the site for advertising, maybe they have end of the world shelters to sell.
Get onto "solar system live" and put in any date you like. It will show the positions of the planets.
