Greetings. I just now created this account to inquire about the possibility of the Earth undergoing a Pole Shift within the next 5 years.

Please be aware that I am not a scientist, nor adept in that area, and that's why I came here to ask. Also note I am not a conspiracy theorist, I'm just looking for logical answers. Lastly, please accept my apologies in advanced if I posted in the wrong forum, or if I am asking ignorant questions.

I listen to coast to coast AM, tongue in cheek. Paraphrasing the discussion on yesterday's show:

Recently, there's been hype about the Earth undergoing a physical pole shift (not magnetic) in the year 2012 as the Earth passes ?through? the galactic plane.

Questions:

- what are they talking about? what is this pole shift (non magnetic)
- why 2012?
- what is this galactic plane?
- what is the duration of such an event, hrs, days?
- what is the global impact of such an occurrence?

If this is too much to ask, I sum up my priorities as such:
- what is it? can it happen?

Also, I have been doing research on other web sites to find these answers, but I feel I am getting biased answers towards a doom & gloom end of the world scenario mixed with a pinch of prophesy and a dab of religion. I am looking for scientific answers.

Thanks in advance,

Kacy Imuyti
