If you're watching this, it must mean that world hasn't ended yet….Nibiru, or Planet
X, did not smash into earth as predicted by conspiracists.
And I have to say, here at Life's Biggest Questions, we aren't particularly surprised.
But what of this mysterious Planet…is it actually out there, and if so, did we just
get lucky?
Hello and welcome back to Life's Biggest Questions, I am your Questioner Rebecca Felgate
and today we are asking Is Planet X Real?
So, how did the conversation of Nibiru or planet X even start?
Surely there must be some truth in it if we're all talking about it…although of course
many people do talk about the Loch Ness Monster and Bigfoot, so is it folklore, and if so,
where does it stem from?
Well…a few places actually – it seems that Nirbiru and Planet X have merged to become
the same thing.
Planet X was said to have been discovered by an ancient bronze age race called the Sumerian,
who lived in the middle east.
The Sumerian were an intelligent race and their mathematics are still used today.
Allegedly they were keen astronomers and observed a 12th planet in the solar system, Nibiru.
How do we know this?
A drawing the people made.
Of course this was at a time millennia before the dawn of the telescope, so unless they
had super space vision, it is likely they were just looking at stars... or drawing something
fanciful…because we don't all draw things that take place in real life…that would
be pretty boring.
None the less, it is said that the Sumerian thought a 12th planet orbited the sun ever
3,600 years….
When I say "it is said" ….i mean it is one of those phrases internet conspriacists
say to make their statements seem like facts without any real citable source.
Somehow conspiracists put two and two together and got 17 trillion…as they seemed to think
this meant this mysterious 12th planet that the ancient race of people had no way of seeing
was going to return soon and smash into us…why?
Cause stone carvings, yo.
When was this supposed to happen?
According to conspira-theorists…2003…so…uh…yah.
Meanwhile, chatter of Nibiru began in the 1990s.
The year 1995 saw the dawn of accessible home internet, and it also saw the dawn of the
internet troll and the forum warrior….all of a sudden, crack theorists were able to
share their thoughts online for all to see.
This is exactly what happened when Winsonsin's Nancy Lieder claimed that she was warned by
aliens about a planet called Nibiru that would come and destroy earth.
The aliens were said to be from a planet 39.17 light years from earth, but of course, so
far as we know, there are no habitable planets that close to us.
Jumping on the Niribu bandwagon, along came Christian Numerologist David Meade who tied
up the concept of the planet neatly with his predictions for the rapture.
Of course it was he who claimed the planet was to smash into earth on September the 23
rd 2017…which of course we know now did not happen.
So what do actual cosmological experts have to say about the prospect of a threatening?
Well, you may be pleased to know that Nasa has a whole page dedicated to Nibiru and Planet
X….a whole page debunking them, that is.
One of the more decisive statements from their website reads: "Nibiru and other stories
about wayward planets are an Internet hoax.
There is no factual basis for these claims.
If Nibiru or Planet X were real and headed for an encounter with the Earth in 2012, astronomers
would have been tracking it for at least the past decade, and it would be visible by now
to the naked eye."
Nasa DID confirm the existence of a new planet called Eris, though… an icy teeny planet
beyond pluto that is smaller than the Earth's moon.
For a time this was referred to as Planet X because it was thought to be the tenth planet
in our solar system, however, both it and pluto were reclassified as dwarf plants, taking
the number of official planets in our solar system down to 8.
Astronomers are constantly looking to discover planets in our galaxy, and when the time comes,
look beyond that into the expanses of the universe.
Of course there will be planets and probably even life out there that we don't know about
yet, but if Nibiru or Planet X did exist, we are sophisticated enough to be able to
see it, and as we can't see anything like that in our own solar system, we can only
assume it is not there.
Could a rogue planet from elsewhere in the galaxy or beyond come and smash into us Nibiru
style?
Well...that kind of thing is theoretically possible, we're all rocks in space, we know
about any possible collisions many, many, many years before it ever happened.
So…I hope you all feel a touch more informed about planet X, Nibiru and Eris!
