By adding more digits, it can go on indefinitely. It seems this is the same as the "Millennium Bug." When computers had limited memory, no one saw the need to express years as four digits. So, the "19" was assumed. Surely some one would take care of this long before the year 2000. Likewise, the Mayans saw no reason to extend their calendars, probably created over 2000 years ago, to go beyond their current five digits. This alone puts the end in December 2012. If you don't like it, JUST ADD ANOTHER DIGIT and quit your whining. The Long Count Calendar is actually open ended. By adding more digits, it can go on indefinitely.
