- You know how the Mayan
calendar ended in 2012?
- Mm-hmm.
- Well, the problem is,
you can't predict
specific years from the stars,
because they don't
actually move,
but if we could map
the position of the planets
in our solar system, wouldn't we
be able to figure it out?
- You mean, because our planets
will never be
in the exact same alignment
ever again?
You know, I actually have
a program that could
roughly calculate the date
based on planet position.
Okay.
Cool, that's our solar system.
There's Earth.
Now if we can just
try to match
the drawing on the cloth
with our planet's position.
I'll match it with today's date,
and work backwards from there.
- Is it working?
- Not really?
The farther back I go,
the more out of alignment
it gets.
- Maybe it isn't a calendar
after all.
- Wait, hold up,
let me try it again.
- That looks right.
- Oh.
No, I went way too far forward.
- No, what do you mean?
It matches.
- Yeah, but that's not
in the past,
that's in the future.
March 24th.
[eerie music]
- So it is a calendar.
- I think it is.
Over something
that hasn't happened yet?
