How true is that planet x is coming to earth?

Answer 1

No. Believers of the Nibiru Cataclysm Theory claim that Nibiru, a large, planet-like object, has some sort of 3600 year orbital period with relation to Earth. The founder of the "theory," Nancy Lieder, claimed that Nibiru is a terrestrial planet four times Earth's size. She claimed that she knew this because of psychic powers she received from a communications device implanted in her brain by large grey aliens called "Zetas," which supposedly want to warn Earth of its oncoming doom. Lieder's original prediction for the collision of Earth and Nibiru was May, 2003. She claimed that the perihelion of comet Hale-Bopp was a ruse, to draw attention from the approach of the titanic (for a terrestrial) planet. When no cataclysm occurred, she removed her original posts about it on her website (including on that suggested people should put down and eat their pets in preparation for the disaster). When asked about it, she claimed that it had been a ruse of her own, to throw of the government. She said that if the world's governments knew the true date of the cataclysm, they would have time to enforce martial policy and effectively massacre their citizens (she gave no explanation for why this would be done). Since its founding, the Nibiru Cataclysm Theory has snowballed into several pseudoscientific cults, some of which have incorporated religious beliefs into the original "theory." Many do not even acknowledge the original founding, and some even claim support for it in religious texts.

As for the origin of the idea for "Nibiru," it has much less theatrical beginnings. 'Nibiru' is the term assigned to Jupiter by ancient Babylonian astronomers. Since the reawakening of curiosity about the idea of a large planet that can cause disaster, many planets, and other objects, have been purported as "Nibiru." People have claimed the planets Ceres, Neptune, Pluto, Eris, and Sedna are Nibiru, simply mislabeled. Other cults have now decided that Nibiru is not a planet at all, but is an enormous star (the star V838 Monocerotis is often referred to by followers of the myth as Nibiru).

The title "Planet X" is a not, despite what many say/think, out of ignorance, a reference to "Nibiru." Supporters of the myth have claimed that "Planet X" is the name that NASA has given to Nibiru, as part of a cover up (they have explained the denial of Nibiru's existence by astronomers as a large conspiracy). However, the term "Planet X" is an unofficial nickname given to new planet candidates that don't have a name, before a permanent title is assigned. Pluto was once referred to as "Planet X" before being named 'Pluto.' "Planet X" no more refers to a specific planet than "John Doe" refers to a specific hospital patient.

Regarding the ancient Mayan calendar, Nibiru is not suggested, except by conspiracy theorists, to be related to the dreaded apocalypse of 2012. The Mayan calendar was organized into a series of "Creation cycles," or ages. It marked 4 ajaw, 4 k'ank'in, December 21, 2012, as the end of a creation cycle, and therefore the beginning of a new one. There was no prediction of disaster. The idea that there will be some sort of catastrophe in 2012 is simply another pseudoscientific speculation, resulting in a modernized myth. Media, particularly Hollywood, has made great advantage of people's doubts and suspicions about an ancient prediction, resulting in even further confusion. This has, as can be expected, been incorporated into parts of the Nibiru doctrine, resulting in claims by some cult members that the rumored disaster of 2012 will be either a collision with or a passing over of Nibiru.

In synopsis, no, absolutely no evidence whatsoever suggests that Earth is going to collide with anything, let alone something as large as "Nibiru" (which would be as large in the sky as the sun, if it really were going to collide with us anytime soon, assuming it could exist). All empirical evidence currently suggests that Nibiru is simply a pseudoscientific myth, and that Earth is completely safe from outside threats.

Answer 2

Some crazy nuts believe that Nibiru exists because of the false prophets telling them the scary "revelations" of 2012...

NASA confirmed that no such planet exists if it did it would most likely burn up by the sun or be sucked in by other giant gas planets

Also the Mayan calendar never says when the world will end it only shows the cycle ending at Dec 21st 2012

by the end of 2012 they believed a new "golden" age will start

2012 is a profit scam

Answer 3

It is not at all true. There is no "planet x" and nothing is going to collide with earth - that we know of.

This is not to say that nothing will ever hit the Earth; the news has been full of reports of meteorite impacts recently. A fireball lit the night sky a few months ago over Canada, and another last week over Denmark, and one a couple of months ago that hit a muddy field in South America. And just this week, here's a NASA report on a 10-meter asteroid that is in a "co-orbit" with Earth, 400,000 miles away.

And then there's the "Apophis" asteroid which will come quite close to Earth - but not collide - on Friday, April 13, 2029 and again on Friday, April 13, 2036.

There's lots of stuff in space. But the big stuff has all been identified, and the little stuff that will surprise us is mostly too small to do major damage.

But tell that to the guy who found that a meteorite had smashed his new car in his driveway, or the woman who was astonished to have a meteorite crash through her roof and land in her bathtub!

Answer 4

Nibiru is a fictional planet that does not exist. It is not going to hit the Earth.

Answer 5

No. Nibiru does not exist. It is the product of overactive and often paranoid imaginations.
