Planet x / planet Nibiru real or fake?

Question

:[

Answer 1

if the first answerer "read it",than he don't read this: http://paranormal.about.com/gi/dynamic/o...

Answer 2

Since the alien has perfected the dimensional cloak they should be able to slip their planet right by with out getting it all disturbed by our gravity.It would be nice of them if they would not disturb ours too greatly.We should stop shooting at them.

Answer 3

It's not even a GOOD hoax.  The story has so many holes, you could drive an imaginary planet through it.

Answer 4

There is absolutely no scientific evidence that "Nibiru" exists, let alone that it's going to come close to the planet Earth. There are a whole bunch of survey programs scanning the sky every clear night looking for objects on a collision course with Earth, that would have detected it long ago: LINEAR, LONEOS, NEAT, etc.

I have asked repeatedly for anyone who has knowledge of Nibiru's position to post its coordinates (right ascension and declination) or orbital elements, so that I can observe it. No takers so far!

Answer 5

Grade B fraud intended to separate fools from their money.

It's grade B because it does not survive elementary fact checking.   I have seen an internet hoax in which at least the roads, ships, places and maybe some of the people mentioned actually existed, even if they were not quite as described.  But the Nibiru stuff doesn't even last that long.

Run Nibiru through Google.  Read the Wikipedia article if it exists but ignore the first 25 Google hits and start on the 26th.

Answer 6

100% Fake...  I had read it.

Fake.

I have a real disaster to go worry about right now - Gustav. Stupid hurricanes. See you after I have more canned goods in my pantry.

Answer 8

Its FAKE!!! 100% not true! People need to stop worrying about this!! It was made up by the history channel to make money

Answer 9

Completely fake!

Planet X/Nibiru does not exist. If it did we would have found it by now. We have mapped the sky in the infrared several times in the last 25 years (including WMAP, IRAS etc), and it would show up. It is not there. We would have found it if it existed. So all the nonsense about the return of Nibiru/Planet X is just that – nonsense

There is no scientific evidence for the existence of Nibiru

Furthermore, at the distance it must be to hit us in a little over 4 years, it would be reflecting enough light from the sun to be detectable.

Thanx to previous question from Brant and answer from bikenbeer2000, we know how bright it should be by now – it would have a apparent magnitude of 7.4 – which would not be visible with the naked eye – but easily visible in a modest telescope and would have been spotted by amateur. If there was a conspiracy to keep it quiet – it would be out of the bag by now.

Ask someone where it is supposed to be, get a pair of binoculars and look for it.

Furthermore, it is supposed to be in orbit around a brown dwarf. We have detected brown dwarfs at much larger distances than the alleged distance of the sun’s mythical brown dwarf companion, so why haven’t we seen this “star"?

The videos on YouTube that purport to have evidence are disingenuous to say the least. They put together pictures of other objects (e.g. Jupiter, comets even a dust shell around a distant red giant star) and try to scare people. There is no validity to their claims. They present NO EVIDENCE at all.

Answer 10

Its the biggest load of c**p on the face of the planet. Theres just SOOO many reasons its stupid and fake, I just couldn't be bothered listing them anymore. Just search for the questions about them.

Answer 11

There are plenty of websites telling us all about Nibiru, but one thing they have in common is that they never tell us its coordinates in the sky so that we can look for it. I wonder why that is? Could it be that someone will say "It isn't there"?

Undeterred, I have taken their information that Nibiru is in a 3600 year orbit, will reach its closest point to the Sun on 21st December 2012 and is the size of the Earth and programmed this information into Starry Night Enthusiast, a planetarium program which allows user defined objects to be entered. As of today, 'Nibiru' is 13.9 A.U. from the Sun and has a visual magnitude of 7.32 meaning it would be easily visible in binoculars and would have been discovered ages ago by users of large telescopes.

Since no such object has been observed, I am wholly confident in making the assertion that it doesn't exist.
