*** Believers In Mysterious Planet Nibiru Await Earth's End ***
I'm not endorsing this notion, I'm merely the messenger.

Renowned astrophysicist Carl Sagan once described a "baloney detection kit" — a set of tools that skeptical thinkers use to investigate any new concept. A few of the key tools include a healthy distrust of information that isn't independently verified, critically assessing an idea rather than becoming irrationally attached to it simply because it's intriguing, and a preference for simple explanations over wildly speculative ones.

The waxing obsession with the planet Nibiru , which conspiracy theorists say is a planet swinging in from the outskirts of our solar system that is going to crash into Earth and wipe out humanity in 2012 — or, in some opinions, 2011 — shows that an astonishing number of people "are watching YouTube videos and visiting slick websites with nothing in their skeptical toolkit," in the words of David Morrison, a planetary astronomer at NASA Ames Research Center and senior scientist at the NASA Astrobiology Institute.

Morrison estimates that there are 2 million websites discussing the impending Nibiru-Earth collision. He receives, on average, five email inquiries about Nibiru every day. "At least a once a week I get a message from a young person — as young as 11 — who says they are ill and/or contemplating suicide because of the coming doomsday," Morrison told Life's Little Mysteries, a sister site to SPACE.com. What's the origin of this mass panic about Nibiru, which astronomers say doesn't exist?

A suspect origin

The idea that doomsday will result from a planetary collision was first proposed in 1995 by Nancy Lieder, a self-described "contactee." Lieder claims she has the ability to receive messages through an implant in her brain from aliens in the Zeta Reticuli star system. On her website, ZetaTalk, she stated that she was chosen to warn mankind of an impending planetary collision which would wipe out humanity in May 2003. (When no such cataclysmic event occurred, Lieder's followers chose 2012 as the new date for the Nibiru collision, which coincides neatly with other doomsday prophecies focused on the ending of the Mayan calendar.) [Doomsday Facts (or Fictions)]

alienplanet

Lieder originally called the bringer of doom "Planet X," and later connected it to a planet that was hypothesized to exist by a writer named Zecharia Sitchin in his book "The 12th Planet" (Harper 1976). According to Sitchin (1920-2010), the ancient Sumerians wrote about a giant planet called Nibiru — the "twelfth planet" in the solar system, after the other planets (including Pluto), the sun and moon — which has an oblong orbit that swings near Earth every 3,600 years. Humans actually evolved on Nibiru, he said, and colonized this planet during a previous flyby.

It takes Nibiru 3,600 years to complete one orbital journey, and it was last in this vicinity around 160 B.C.E.

That would mean a return of Nibiru in year 3440.

If you cannot answer that simple question, then your belief is on faith alone and not by reason or evidence.

No one said it was in the inner solar system. You just choose to subscribe to one interpertation. Have you ever heard of a "long cycle binary solar system?"

Maybe YOU should educate yourself, friend.

Here is a good start.

Actually, being a part of said universe, we, as conscious and sentient beings, are able to hash out our own fate via will. We are able, thru knowledge, to manipulate the physical. Simple example, build a house. Did people build houses, or did the universe. There are different stages of creation, like on a ladder, you can choose to acend, or decend. What are you choosing?

Being an astrophotographer, I'm very well aware of the double star theory. But that's just it...there is VERY little evidence for it.

Also, what "interpretation" do YOU subscribe to. Virtually all "planet ex" scenarious claim that it is here already in the inner solar system. Are they all incorrect? If not, when will it become detectable? Where is it? Specifically?

But somewhere in the back of your mind I'm sure you wonder, what if this crazy stuff is true? Can this thing really exist? Is it being covered up? Who do you trust. I say trust your instinct.

I don't believe in it, and I certainly don't want to see people suffer because of it, and truth is there is no solid proof out there. Yet I still tune in albeit with skepticism, just in case
