If it ends starting in New Zealand and travels east, does that mean I can get on a plane west of New Zealand and travel to the location after it has been destroyed?
In other words, I will arrive safety after New Zealand has been destroyed and live there after the "end."
Of course, this argument would only make sense given the direction as well as the cataclysm itself. If the whole world just blew up, it wouldn't matter.
Thoughts?
Reminds me of a quote by a not so well known German poet:
"If there should ever be an apocalypse, I shall move to Austria, because over there everything happens 20 years later"
On your question, the world will not end! point!
The maya calender might end on that day, but do you really expect a civilisation which whilest seperated from other civilisations, invented the wheel - but then was to fucking stupid to actualy use it as a method of transportation - to make any accurate predictions? Let alone acurate predictions about the end of the world?
Just one moment count TGAC
The Mayan civilisation did not utilise the wheel in the same way that Japan did not utilise the wheel ...the terrain was not conducive to it's application, and yet they KNEW of the wheel. The Mayan civilisation utilised the wheel in the Long and Short Count Calendars and so had full knowledge of the mathematical and physical applications of the "wheel"
