Answer 1

i would recommend that u check it out..n decide for urself...

gud luck!!

Answer 2

Hoax. There is nothing like that coming our way. And the name is actually just the Sumerian name for Jupiter, one of the five planets known at that time.

Answer 3

It's a hoax and the diagram of the planets which you link to is a good indication of how the hoaxers work. Obviously, for reasons best known to themselves, they have decided to portray "Nibiru" at the 12th planet, so the Sun and Moon both get included as "planets".

When you're portraying fiction, I guess you can invent your own definitions as well.

Answer 4

Look at it like this -- If Nibiru exists and is near enough to get here in four years then we would have spotted it already, or at least seen its gravitational influence on other celestial objects. If it's still too far away to be seen, then to reach us in four years it would need a velocity some significant percentage of light speed.

The bottom line is that Nibiru, Planet X, et.al., is just so much nonsense.

Answer 5

I'm not a scientist but from what i understand from the hours of searches i've done Nibiru/Planet X is just the idea of a novice writer who made up a number fictitious moons and planets that have been proven wrong by respectable astronomers with a lot better grasp of the stars than he had.

Answer 6

It does not exist.  

Answer 7

If it were going to be here in 2012, it would be visible now, yet no one has reported a location for it. There's no evidence, either astronomical or archaeological, that it even exists.

Answer 8

It's a hoax.

If you do the math.......

You can prove it wrong!

I did the math months ago for a research paper to prove it false.  It is.  A planet that is further way from Pluto right now CANNOT reach Earth in 4 years..... Unless it's traveling REALLY REALLY fast.

No known object can travel that fast, and I doubt any planet could.

Your conclusion is correct - it's bunk, and people are definitely out to make a buck from the chicken little syndrome.
