Did Nostradamus Predict That the Planet Nibiru Will Disrupt Earth’s Gravity and Cause the 2012 Apocalypse?
By
I was reading some stuff on the web that says that Nostradamus predicted that in 2012 the rogue planet Nibiru would either crash into earth or disrupt our gravitational field by grazing the earth’s atmosphere on Dec 21, 2012. What can we do to prepare?

Nostradamus’s predictions are so vague that they could be applied to a large variety of events after you know what to look for in the predictions. nothing will happen in 2012 every attempt at scientific reasoning, like Nibiru falls completely flat. if there was a 9th planet we would have known about its existence due to gravitational effects long ago.

No, he did not. All of Nostradamus’ prophecies so far have only been interpreted after likely incidents, and even so, people interpret them differently. His predictions are so vague that they can mean anything.
Plus, Nibiru does not exist.

Nibiru doesn’t exist, so we don’t have to do anything to prepare for its arrival.

Sight unseen, I can make this prediction with my psychic powers:
The thing you were reading failed to provide the actual passage where Nostradamus predicted this.

I really wouldn’t know about anything he “predicted” I am not crazy enough to believe in that (or any) 2012 conspiracy theory.
The best way to prepare for that time is to stop reading about conspiracy theories and don’t believe everything that crazy people tell you. The planet Nibiru doesn’t really exist, so there is nothing to worry about.
But seriously, conspiracy theories are bad for your health.

Nostradamus did not do so. He did NEVER predict anything, because prediction means being able to say that something will happen in the future. Nostradamus is attributed to have predicted something AFTER it happened by his followers, but even these followers have never been able to predict the claimed events to happen in advance.
Next, the whole stuff you say is wishful thinking (To the worse, but anyway). Nibiru does not exist, if it would, we would already see it with the naked eye now. The gravity field of a planet can not be disrupted. it is the sum of the gravity field of any subatomic particle of it. If a planet would come close to Earth to enter the atmosphere of it, one or both of the planets would disintegrate simply by the tidal forces ripping them apart. Physically it is impossible to happen, what is claimed.
To prepare: Get a good beer of your favorite brand, put it in the fridge, so you are ready to enjoy the doomsday to pass by.

Nibiru is tripe, Nostradamus is tripe, but I am intrigued by your last sentence, specifically the fact that you think such an event might be survivable.
A planet hitting the Earth would shatter both planets. The resulting fragments might agglomerate into a new planet that might be inhabitable by simple life forms in a billion years or so.
The tidal forces created by a planet “grazing the atmosphere” would turn the Earth’s surface into liquid magma.
I don’t know about you but my preparations would involve alcohol and sex.

1, Round up all persons who quote Nostradamus and send them for psychiatric assessment or investigate them for financial fraud.
2. Place all copies of old Nosty’s nonsense in libraries, to be studied only by those with a Masters degree or higher in French literature or history.

No, Nostradamus wrote complete nonsense.
Planet X does not exist anywhere in the sky. It’s a complete HOAX! No where on the internet will you find the sky coordinates for this fake planet.
It is not hiding behind the sun: we ORBIT the sun. It is not hiding in the Southern hemisphere. Any telescope located south of the equator can see the entire Southern sky.
2012 is just junk science gone wild on the internet.

The claims regarding 2012 arose from other sources (chiefly from the misinterpretation of Maya calendars and the misinterpretation of Sumerian cylinder seals) and was taken up by Nostradamus fans only after the fact.
And that is the manner in which Nostradamus fans work. No one to my knowledge has ever used a Nostradamus quote to actually predict a specific event that had not occurred prior to the prediction. Nostradamus fans apply his verses to events that have already occurred and claim retrospectively that this is what Nostradamus must have seen. That is not prediction, it is simply supposition.
Nostradamus’ versus are highly imaginative. That invites the reader to consider them symbolically and invent any number of correspondences. If a prediction is “This will happen,” then the truth of the prediction is simply whether or not the thing happened. If a prediction is “Something LIKE THIS will happen,” then the question is opened to interpretation in which “like this” becomes a matter of debate and subjective judgment.
They are also non-specific. They don’t name specific times, places, or people. Thus they can be made to fit any number of events. Wars, for example, happen all the time. Saying that a war will happen is like shooting fish in a barrel. Sooner or later your “prediction” will come true. If you throw out a few vague properties and interpret them loosely and figuratively, people will think you’re a prophet.

Nostradamus didn’t predict 2012 or Nibiru.
But his followers will find a way to “re-interpret” his vague quatrains to make anything sound like he predicted it.
Nibiru (or Planet X or Nemesis or rogue planet or whatever you want to call it) doesn’t exist. Any object large enough to cause that much damage in 3 years would already be visible in the night sky to the thousands of amateur and professional astronomers.
