Default I would like to ask about Nubiru stuff...

Hey all, its my first post here. At the beginning I want to excuse for my bad english, Its not my native language but Ill try my best

Im total amateur in terms of astronomy. Im just interested in it just a bit - I like Discovery Science, books etc.

Yesterday for the first time I saw something about planet called Nubiru. I read few pages, saw YouTube movies and I got a bit afraid... I have little of neurotic aproach to those kind of stuff so it really make me feel not very well.

Thats why I registered to ask You guys about it, as I see you are interested in space and this kind of stuff. Im young, have family and dont want to end my life in 2012 or few years later when this planet will hit earth.
You are from US mostly so you are closest to newest science magazines, NASA articles, news services etc. So is this problem actual in your country or maybe, for which I hope, its just matter of sensation seeker people like other "end of world" things.

In other words can you calm me a bit..
Thanks

Another member, 01100101, should be along any moment to post a very long list of threads related to Nibiru.
You will get to read all about how it's a load of Insubstantial nothingness.

You have no reason to sweat Nibiru. The tale is told by a person claiming to be in psychic communication with Aliens from "Zeta".

The last time Nibiru was supposed to destroy the world was 2003.

Nothing happened.

For some odd reason, Humanity has this urge to produce "Doomssayers" who go around proclaiming that it's the 'end of the world.'

We have a lot of threads on this site discussing 2012 and Nibiru. I leave it to other members to provide the links. The short answer is that both of these issues are being promoted by people who sell books and speaking engagements based on 'invented' disaster scenarios. Neither have any physical evidence supporting them, or allowing them to occur.

After the links show up, I'll close this thread.

Is this a new policy - closing redundant threads? Mind you, I'm not arguing against the idea, just curious. Especially since a member recently opened up the 179th thread on the LHC, with no new question or content, and it remains open.
