What do you think about Planet X and its relation with 'Doomsday'?

Question

For those about to claim it doesn't exist, how could the infrared telescope detect this 'burnt out' in space? How does -that- become hogwash? :)

Answer 1

I have no idea why this so called Planet X will just float around in space then hit the earth! The odds of that is quite high.

Also, if it does hit... we all die anyway so nobody would say: I said so!

Answer 2

Talk of Planet X causing Doomsday in 2012 is all the work of frauds and hoaxers. I don't know what you're referring to when you say that the Infrared Telescope has detected something, but the typical method of these frauds is to take genuine scientific research and alter its meaning to suit their own agenda. For example, scientists at Kobe University in Japan have suggested that theoretically, there might be a large object orbiting in the far reaches of the solar system - perfectly plausible, it's a long way and we don't know everything that's out there. The 2012 cranks have turned this from an object that "might" exist into an object which "does" exist and moreover has mysteriously put itself on to a trajectory bringing it into the inner solar system by 2012.

You need to be more critical and not just accept any old nonsense fed to you by these hoaxers, who are just out to make money from books, etc. I know it's nice to impress people with your "inside" information, but eventually, you might just end up looking foolish.

Answer 3

Lowell's hope in tracking down Planet X was to establish his scientific credibility, which had been dented by his widely derided belief that channel-like features visible on the surface of Mars were in fact canals constructed by an intelligent civilisation. He performed two searches for it without success, the first ending in 1909, and after revising his prediction for where it should be found, the second from 1913 to 1915, after which Lowell published his mathematical hypothesis of the parameters for Planet X.

Harrington died in 1993, having never found Planet X. That same year, Myles Standish used data from Voyager 2's 1989 flyby of Neptune, which had revised the planet's total mass downward by 0.5 percent (an amount comparable to the mass of Mars), to recalculate its gravitational effect on Uranus. When the newly determined mass was used in the Jet Propulsion Laboratory Developmental Ephemeris (JPL DE), the supposed discrepancies in its orbit vanished. Also, to date there are no discrepancies in the trajectories of any space probes (Pioneer 10, Pioneer 11, Voyager 1 and Voyager 2) that can be attributed to the gravitational pull of a large undiscovered object in the outer Solar System. Today the overwhelming consensus among astronomers is that Planet X, as Lowell defined it, does not exist.

Answer 4

Short and painful:

It is distilled ignorance to real science and the effort of a few  wannabe-prophets to make themselves look better than the rest of the world (Bad prophets only predict, good prophets make predictions that come true).

This stuff only works, when you want to believe in the end of the world (how depressing) and ignore all evidence which contradicts the ideas of Lieder&Co.

Answer 5

It'll do it.

Answer 6

Actually I'm still waiting for anyone to deliver proof for it's existance instead of asking for negative proof.

Answer 7

What infrared telescope? What's your souce for this? Where's the photo? Planet X does not exist. Period! It's fantasy.
