+1 to the fact that it's hard for humans to grasp the concept of infinity.

I never used to think much of the stars. Then I had to take an astrology course in college and found out that what we see could really be gone. (the ammount of time it takes for the light from the star/planet to travel to our eyes...LIGHT YEARS). It's alot more complex, but basically, when you look up, there's a good chance that the stars you are seeing are already burned out. RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD!

I doubt science can tell us anything about infinity

I think our society should decide that the world will end in 4044. Let's go with April 1st of that year. Um, let's say the planets will all collide, and maybe a star or two will burn out close to our solar system...Anything else we could add? We could call it the Canreef Prediction...

Let the teens of 4040 start their freak out - LOL

Is this kinda like when all computers were supposed to crash in Y2K?

Actually the mayans do not predict the end of the world, they predict the end of a cycle and the beginning of a new one. you can interpret it anyway you want.

And yes there is already a movie in the works coming out on it.
