The mayans did not say that the universe ended in september 2012, as many say. Instead, the mayan calender simply ended abruptly in 2012.

Has it occurred yet that the mayans just didn't finish making their calender? Calculating the movement of the stars up to thousands of years was a strenuous and time consuming task. Eventually (perhaps, along with the death of the civilization,) they would have to stop making the calender somewhere.

As for aliens, any discussion of them is wholly unscientific. Why bother with it at all?

As for the theory of the oscillating universe, it is indeed a scientific theory, so agreeing with it is the standard, not the exception.
I add to it my belief in universal atrophy, which is commonly accepted but not, to my knowledge, a theory.
