Is it real and are we going to die in 2012?

are we going to die in 2012?

Unfortunately, lots of people will die in 2012.

And in 2013.

I hope, no one we know.

EDIT: Ok, yes a little pedantic (Casus and Tog)... but just a little humuorous too? Sorry Myopia18, maybe you really are worried by this. You have access to the internet, so there is an absolute ton of great stuff for you to discover about this amazing universe of ours, just be careful who you let bring worry and unhappiness in to your life. This niburu stuff truly is absolute bollocks. And I really do hope you have a great 2012.

I propose that all the people that support doom and gloom from this "event" cede all in their power and property and money to me from the expected date in 2012. OK, being greedy. Give half to me and half to various charities.

Nope.

Fearmongers and doomsdayers have been predicting end times since... Well.. The beginning times.

For all descriptions of Planet X etc, it would be very visible.

In addition to not seeing anything like that, in infrared, or otherwise, we do not see its Gravitational Effect either.

Now, 20 years ago you might have been able to make a case. (Ok, not really but I'm being nice...) But now, in 2008 with 2012 only a few years away, there's no way we could miss something that big this close.
I say close because for the time limit- it would need to be pretty close to Earth to reach us by 2012.
Yet we have no trouble spotting Pluto or Eris or countless other tiny objects that are much further away.

You can start here, and if he hasn't by the time I've finished this post, 01100101 will undoubtedly produce this absurdly long list of threads related to the Niburu/Planet X nonsense.

ETA: YOu will note that it says 2003. That is because planet X was supposed to kill us all in 2003. Nothing happened of course.
So they extended it to 2012- especially relying on a misconception about how the Mayan calender works ( It rolls over in 2012 just like every other calender rolls over at some point). I wonder what they will say in 2012 when nothing happens?

Please don't be sarcastic with your answers as I am worried about this. It would help if you provide proof. Thanks.

Myopia18,
Why have you started three threads on this topic in two different subforums?

in a different thread.

It's not sarcasm, it pedantry. People will die in 2012, and before, and after. Planet X will have nothing to do with any of it. There is no reason to be worried about this, because if it were out there, it could be seen by now. Probably naked eye.

As for proof, how could it be proven? Is there a way to "prove" that the helicopter from the hospital across the street won't fall out of the sky and through my roof next Thursday around lunch? Nope.

The only thing that we can do to "prove" it won't happen is provide evidence that the existence of the thing is so remote as to be a fantasy. Think of it in the same light as heading to the airport tomorrow and catching a dragon to Mars. You cant say for sure that it won't happen, but I'd be willing to bet a kidney that it doesn't. And if Planet X does show up in 2012 and destroys the Earth, that kidney is all yours.

But none of these deaths will be attributable to "Planet X/Nibiru"

We know of 8 planets in our solar system (9 if you count Pluto) Not one of these planets has caused a single death on Earth throughout history. Why would a more distant and probably smaller planet that has never been seen cause mayhem?

I bet you a million dollars that you wont die due to any direct effect from "Planet X"

Soothsayers have predicted the end of the world since the dawn of human civilisation. So far they are pitching a perfect no-hitter.

Myopia18,

You have posted the same question in three subforums. This is bad forum behavior, but as you are very new, we will just give you advice, and not warn you against doing it in the future.

I suggest that you look around the forum, we do have a lot of material in several threads specifically on the 2012 topic. Science rarely gives proof, but the evidence against the end is very strong, and the evidence for the end is non-existent.

Oh, yeah. My response was basically the same, then I had some sort of connection issue and lost it. By the time I got back in, yours was up. Not really picking on you for it, just being pedantic myself in pointing out that it wasn't sarcasm.

The way the original question set aside the "will we all die in 2012?" part as being separate from the "Is planet X real?" just couldn't be passed up, really.

Hmmm, no.
Hearts and lungs, not kidneys and spleens.

BTW, I merged all three threads as there's no reason to tempt 10010110 to post his list more than once.

Don't feed the troll. This is almost certainly the same 'myopia' who asks this same question multiple times per day over on Yahoo! Answers.

Myopia, you have had your question answered in very conceivable way. If you have a problem with the answers given then rephrase your question to deal with specifics. Otherwise stop wasting people's time.
