The Planet X apocalypse theory is a bunch of hogwash

Quit me whenever you happen to would possibly well presumably private heard this one earlier than: A community of of us focus on the world is going to entire very quickly. 

The latest finish of the world conspiracy theory services on the mysterious « Planet X, » aka Nibiru, which is anticipated to appear out of nowhere and break into Earth, destroying us all and granting us that candy relief of loss of life we private now been craving ever since Donald Trump stumbled on Twitter.

This theory is no longer basically fresh. It cropped up in 2003 and nothing took situation. It develop into once revised all over again to 2012 and nothing took situation. I could serve you wager what the final consequence of this fresh doomsday date will be.

Nibiru is mainly the « discovery » of Zecharia Sitchin who develop into once something of a historian whenever you happen to are the variety to imagine « Veteran Aliens » is precise. Nonetheless the root of Nibiru as planet destroyer develop into once place forth by Nancy Lieder in 1995.

Unusual for 2018, in accordance with this Fox Recordsdata article (which treats this entire rattling farce with an extremely straight-face), is a flee of Christian rapture by capability of doomsday predictor David Meade, an belief so absurd I’m no longer even going to bother addressing it here.

Your entire factor sounds extremely comparable to the ending of the Lars von Trier film Melancholia where a rogue planet crashes into Earth at the finish, killing every person. 

It will be well-known that Melancholia is no longer a sci-fi film nonetheless somewhat an exploration of wretched, which is okay. « Doomed, » is how I have confidence sparkling that Fox Recordsdata is treating this entire factor with the seriousness they offer to elections or Obama’s tan suit. 

There may perchance be long been focus on a « Planet X » from NASA, nonetheless that refers to the likely discovery of a fresh planet lurking capability out on the a long way-flung fringes of our solar gadget, no longer one who’s going to pop around in the future and ruin your stuff like a surprise search the advice of with out of your ex. 

Alas, it be unattainable that NASA has passed over something as mammoth as one more entire planet roaming our Stutter voltaic System, threatening the more than a couple of planets with its would possibly well presumably. (That mentioned, we tranquil reached out to NASA precise to device obvious that, so we’ll replace this account when we hear back.) 

This is all very foolish, nonetheless if anybody has any « Nibiru is mainly flat » theories, I’m all ears.
