It missed us by 9 days

What if.... the solar storm didn't miss us in 2012. What if it was a direct hit. And we're stuck in a loop from that point on, until the last human connected to the higher consciousness finally passes away after the infinity time period between life and death occurs. During the time period between life and death apparently lasts an infinity amount of time to ZERO, pending on the person. Much like a dream state.
This is the theory behind the Mandella Effect; we all died, but our collective conscienceness is trying to replicate past events, but everyone remembers them differently causing ripples in the memories.
