First .....sadly, the tin foil hat brigade types really tear down the credibility of information like this.... from all sources, true or not. What we need is sane, scientific proof as to whether there is actually a rogue planet heading this way or not ...and if so, what to do. So someone wrote a book, as many people have. As to which category it should fall, well ...sounds subjective. I'm a little embarrassed for this guy for feeling the need to up-play his honorary degree in a totally non related field to try and seem more credible than he is...That's a good way to set yourself up to be a walking punchline.
Secondly, it would be an awful shame if humanity were to be wiped out. Its comparable to an infant dying just as its beginning to take its first steps. We're such a young species... just beginning to get the big picture on the difference between right and wrong. If we could just have about another couple thousand years to grow before the universe starts smacking us around...I mean, at least let us advance enough to have a fighting chance.....I feel kind of like those little sea turtles struggling to get to the water before the seagulls swoop down and snatch us up. I know we're petty, messy, greedy and down right mean sometimes, but there really is the potential for greatness. Its just not fair to be wiped out without ever getting a chance to reach our potential or at least having the option to wipe ourselves out...that way at least its our own doing...I guess this comment ended up longer than planned. My apologies to anyone it may have annoyed.
