Default Is Nibiru Coming 2012?

Is Nibiru Coming? If You Want To Know What I Am Talking About Check It Out On My Site [some URL] I am looking for any information I can get, if anyone as seen it by eye or telescope in the southern pole area please e-mail me with what you know at I would be very grateful for any genuine information! Thanx Crusaderpcm.

some email address

The powers that be are building underground bunkers all over the world for the selected few they pick to survive Nibiru coming. Nibiru is a planet that is part of or galaxy but as Earth takes 365 days in its orbit Nibiru takes 3666.6 years. It as pass by earth many times before, once it struck earth and caused devastating damage to the planet. It also cause the extinction of the dinosaurs when it passed very close to earth and caused an ice age. It is due to pass through again in 2012. Its arrival as already started to alter Earths weather. It can already be seen in the south pole where the U.S have set up a large telescope to track its approach. But you won't see it by sight until the end of 2010 when of course it will be denied. But by the beginning of 2012 it will be hard to hide the fact of its approach. Basically if you have watched a film called Deep Impact then that is what will happen. So if you are not one of the chosen one you are stuffed and expected to go quietly into the night. Personally I going to use the well know motto hope for the best plan for the worst. Me and my loved ones are going to survive this because I'm preparing for the worst are you?

Aha.



Searching for 'Niburu' produces a list if 91 threads where it is mentioned.
You might want to read some of those.

Does CrusaderPB&J like Starburst candy? This sounds very familiar, but with the dates off by a decade...

Hello, CrusaderPCM.

Is Nibiru Coming?

No.

If You Want To Know What I Am Talking About Check It Out On My Site [some URL] I am looking for any information I can get, if anyone as seen it by eye or telescope in the southern pole area please e-mail me with what you know at I would be very grateful for any genuine information! Thanx Crusaderpcm.

some email address


As HalcyonDayz already pointed out, we've been through this ad nauseum on this forum. Do you have any points to raise that haven't been chewed over before?

The powers that be are building underground bunkers all over the world for the selected few they pick to survive Nibiru coming.

No, they're not. This is an evidence-free claim.

Nibiru is a planet that is part of or galaxy

Then you mean it's part of our solar system. Saying it's "part of our galaxy" implies it's not gravitationally bound to the Sun, but that is contradicted by the rest of your sentence.

but as Earth takes 365 days in its orbit Nibiru takes 3666.6 years.

Then it would have been near Earth about 1660 BC. At a bare minimum it would have been a spectacular naked-eye object. Yet there is no mention of such an object in art and writings of that time. So your claim fails for lack of historical evidence.

It as pass by earth many times before, once it struck earth and caused devastating damage to the planet. It also cause the extinction of the dinosaurs when it passed very close to earth and caused an ice age.

No evidence for either claim.

It is due to pass through again in 2012.

Indeed? Then you know its orbital elements. What are they, exactly? No handwaving, please. Either you know its orbit (as already implied by your 3666.6 year period claim above), or you do not know its orbital elements and therefore have no basis for your claim.

Its arrival as already started to alter Earths weather.

Nonsense. Such an object would have to be well out past Mars, or it would be a fairly bright naked-eye object already, easily visible to anyone in the Southern Hemisphere and much of the Northern Hemisphere as well. But no such object has been reported. No planetary object at such a distance can have any perceptible influence on Earth's weather, any more than Mars or the asteroids have an effect on Earth's weather.

It can already be seen in the south pole where the U.S have set up a large telescope to track its approach.

No, the U.S. has not set up such a telescope to observe its approach. Another claim simply made up.

But you won't see it by sight until the end of 2010 when of course it will be denied.

This claim implies that the object must be significantly further out than Mars' orbit. Which makes your "affecting Earth's weather" claim even more impossible.

But by the beginning of 2012 it will be hard to hide the fact of its approach.

If you know its orbital elements already - which you must know if you can predict its passage - than it is already impossible to hide its approach. Thousands of amateur astronomers across the world would already be able to image it. Unless it is somewhat further out than Pluto - in which case, based on a few quick-and-dirty calculations, it's likely that it wouldn't even be gravitationally bound to the Sun anyway.

Basically if you have watched a film called Deep Impact then that is what will happen. So if you are not one of the chosen one you are stuffed and expected to go quietly into the night. Personally I going to use the well know motto hope for the best plan for the worst. Me and my loved ones are going to survive this because I'm preparing for the worst are you?

I'm more interested in real dangers, not silly made-up ones. But thanks for your concern.

I'm personally much more worried about conspiracy theories that mirror the movie Xanadu, where Greek muses once again walk the Earth, creating roller discos.

This line in particular caught my eye:
Quote:
once it struck earth and caused devastating damage to the planet.
If it struck, it would have stuck. And we wouldn't be here today. Planets, even dwarf planets, have too much mass and gravity to carom off each other like billiard balls. They would have collapsed into each other, releasing a lot of energy in the process, making one big mushy ball of molten goo.

I saw Crusader's post and thought it was a spoof, with the "some url" and "some website thing". It's really hard to separate satire from the genuine thing...for me at least.

That's why satirizing conspiracy theories doesn't work: the satire is indistinguishable from the theory.

Look at how many people jumped on the eruption of comet Holmes for proof of this.

@ Dave J - I suspect the reason for "some url" and "some website thing" is that antoniseb removed them as part of our rules enforcement and defense against spammers.

Protecting oneself from Nibiru is like protecting oneself from Invaders from Mars.
Pointless.

Regarding the Mayan calendar/2012 thing.

If the Mayans were so friggin' smart, why didn't they foresee their OWN demise?

I don't get this one. What's John Carmack got to do with the Mayans?
