Some researchers believe that date is important because it coincides with the winter solstice, and on that date the Milky Way galaxy, on which the Mayans placed great significance, will align with the sun.

Is it just me, or is this sentence entirely devoid of meaning?

I know.....What exactly does "the Milky Way galaxy will align with the sun" mean? The sun is within the MW galaxy, just one of countless millions of stars situated on one of its spiral arms.

How in the world could the Milky Way align with the sun?
Isn't the sun just one of about 100 billion stars within the Milky WAY?

Do you suspect you are entirely devoid of meaning? Some people worry about this kind of thing.
