Welcome aboard.

Short answer, no.

Long answer, there have been many threads about this, dating back to its original incarnation. Did you know that the original claims for Planet X meant the world would have been destroyed by now?

He was asking about the "polls," not the "poles," so I think it was a political question which is off topic here.

I've always found the Poles to be pretty stolid. I didn't think they were known to shift much...

...well, except for that whole 'Solidarność' thing.

Welcome to our ool.
Notice there is no P in it.

Please keep it that way

*P is for politics

One of the board rules is that political discussions are strictly restricted- due to hot heads and heavy discussions that can easily get out of hand- So I cannot answer your question in the affirmative.

It was my understanding that the magnetic poles of the Earth do shift perodicly, as in reversing from north to south, over geologic time, millions of years ? , sorry I do not remember the period of the cycle right now. The evidence is in the rocks on either side of the mid-Atlantic ridge, where the plates are moving apart and the sea floor is spreading. You will also find that the magnetic north pole wanders about compaired to the rotational north pole. And also, I believe 'Planet X is a fantasy.

My understanding too.

But I think DyerWolf was referring to the Poles from Poland.

Yes, try looking up Jaramillo event and Morley, Mathews and Vine.

So what you are all saying is that this Nibaru/planet X thing will only affect politicians, the Earths magnetic orientation and the inhabitants of a country in eastern europe?

Its not fair. All that tin foil wasted.

Actually since Nibaru/Planet X is fiction, it will not affect the magnetic field, or the population of that eastern European country. As for the other (please excuse one reference to the 'P' word, and I will futilely attempt to not do it again) They are so far out of touch that nothing affects them.

I hope not. I kinda like the topics of the polls as they have been Besides, if it does come by, maybe we can set up a shuttle to take tourists to it to spend a few days of relaxation before the "big end" arrives Mr Q

The Nibaru/Planet X thing is likely to make an appearance in at least one arena--Hollywood--either during the summer 2012 movie season or during the late fall holiday movie season. I expect at least one and possibly more disaster movies centering on the Mayan calendar and the end of the world thing set in December 2012. The storyline will likely feature a couple of conspiracy theorists who've been banned from practically every astronomy forum on the Internet. When NASA discovers the planet X thing is true, they'll turn to the conspiracy theorists for help because only they have enough knowledge of what's really going to happen. They will probably be sent on a mission to Mayan ruins to uncover the secret of how to deflect planet X and stop a mass extinction. Of course, there will be terrorists racing to the same ruins to uncover the secret first and hold the world hostage. To complete the action, there will likely be a risky NASA mission to deflect the planet without the secret knowledge, with lots of special effects and action/adventure thrown in. Stay tuned.

Having been a background actress in "Deep Impact," I think I deserve to be upgraded to a lead character this time around, maybe one of the conspiracy theorists.

I don't know about Nibiru, but 2012 gets lots of treatment, in the years approaching 2012.

Internet Movie Database

2012 Doomsday (2008)
2012 (2009)
2012 (2010)
2012: The War for Souls (2010)

Maybe Nibiru already had its day in the sun:

Oh Please! some one shoot me.
I once met a Polish man who had earlier been a woman... So, yes the poles could be reversed.
I do not think the year 2012 and some factional created planet have got anything to do with this.

What is it with this sort of doomsday nonsense that keeps it bouncing back in here?
Are there really people who believe this sort of foolish nonsense?
and just in case that gets the 'yes' answer... Please consider the question properly.
A planet or other object with sufficient gravity to disrupt the stability of this solar system is sneaking up on us.... Naaa... Its rubbish.

Actually I used to say this too.

But recently, I was reading the back of a food box at the store when something slammed into me.
Looking back over my shoulder was a man that had to weigh in at least 600 lbs and was dang near 7 feet tall.

How on Earth did I not see that coming? Didn't I feel the ground groaning?

Truly, I am now questioning everything I ever believed...

The Poles in my town all seem quite capable of reversing perfectly well - leastways I've never seen any have an accident whilst parking their cars .....

As for the Nibiru films - one version must surely involve chemtrails being sprayed to prevent anyone seeing Nibiru's approach ..... then, as it hits Earth, it bounces off the chemtrail layer and disappears back into the depths of space (Nibiru being 1400ft wide and made of rubber - as my signature on another forum attests )

No, we're referring to Nancy Lieder's "Planet X" which destroyed the world on 2003 May 15 -- The Powers That Be just haven't seen fit to tell us yet.

Yes, I'm well aware of the misinformation to which you're referring.

But Leider's planet x is not, as was stated, the "original incarnation... (or) claims for..."

Neither did claims for Nibiru originate with her.

Ah, but that was avoided at the very last minute by demoting planet x - aka Pluto - to dwarf planet status. T'was a close call though ....
