11/11/11 - What will occur? What DID occur?

[3DMonkey]

You guys bring up a very good point regarding the Gregorian calendar. How can one accurately determine precise metaphysical events that are occurring when it isn't the be-all end-all to keeping track of time?

Based on the numbers of the date alone, one can not.
And if time is simply a record of the movement of the Earth, then dates are positions of Earth.

What does this imply about the culminating date of 12/21/12?

I think someone interlocked the Mayan calendar and the Gregorian to get that date. This sounds a little more like locating a position of Earth in space. The accuracy of the deciphered Mayan calendar is beyond me.

Or is it simply that the creation of this system of keeping track of "linear time" works and fits because it is given power by the multitude of people who utilize it?

That sounds somewhat feasible. We can see by this thread, we aren't giving much "power" to it.

Does this then mean that the calendar can be depended upon for dictating dates?

LOL. Read that question again. You tell me.
