I Am So Scared About the Whole Planet X Thing. Is This Real?

no if there was dont you think regular poeple would spot it in there telescopes because brown dwarfs are huge and its gravity would be effecting something.

We are not freaking out because we already know it is all false.

1. The “brown dwarf” thing is an old idea (1984) that went out of style in the early 1990s: the Sun would have had a companion star called Nemesis. It would have been on an elliptical orbit, coming closer to the Oort cloud (not to Earth) at intervals measured in millions of years (26 million years was the proposed orbital period).

It was an idea created to explain the extinction events, thought to be cyclical (see reference below). According to the calculations, it would be on its way out right now, not on its way in.
However, with modern telescopes, it would have been found some time ago (almost 20 years, with the first giant infra red telescopes). Plus the extinction “cycles” are not really as regular as first thought. So the idea was , let’s say, put on the back burner.

2. Planet X is a label that is used when an object is found around another star and people are waiting to confirm whether it is a planet of that star.

Around our Sun, the name is used to talk about the planet that could exist beyond the orbit of Pluto. It has never been seen (too far) but there are good statistical reasons to believe that it should exist.
If it does, it should be on a stable orbit, always beyond Pluto (otherwise, we would have observed a lot more disruption in the orbits of smaller objects in the Kuyper belt).

3. Nibiru (in the context of 2012) is an invention that began in a weak translation of old Sumerian texts (totally different continent than the Mayans), by a translator with a “vivid imagination”.
Now that we have more Sumerian texts and better translations, we know that the word “Nibiru” was their name for the planet we call Jupiter.

As for the Nibiru created by the translator, it is supposed to come back in 2085 or after (not before) and not collide with Earth (according to the guy who created the story). Even this guy is fed up seeing “his” fictitious planet hijacked by hoaxers who wrote a book predicting its return in 2003 (of course, it never showed up) and now pushing a “revised edition” to make Nibiru participate in the Big 2012 Hoax Off.
Some are already hedging their bet by calling for a new date in 2013.
Don’t worry for them, there will always be someone to buy their books.

4. The Mayans did NOT predict anything for that date, other that it would be a very special New Years Day (the winter Solstice was always their New Years Day) because the Long Count calendar would arrive at the end of a long count and begin a new one. A bit like our calendar arriving at December 31, 1999 and turning to January 1, 2000 the day after.

The only Mayan “prophecy”, is in the Popol Vuh, a book supposedly written around 1550 (6 centuries AFTER the peak of the Mayan civilization). Strange: the original was written in Latin alphabet (our alphabet — which was unknown to the Mayans) and that original document disappeared. The only “original” left is a translation done by a Spanish priest. Many parts of the translation sound a lot like our Bible. Hmmmm. Mayan? Perhaps not.

5. If anything like a brown dwarf was in orbit around the Sun AND on its way to hit us in 2012, it would already be visible without any telescope or binocular. If you are talking of something the size of a planet (X or Nibiru), then you might need binoculars.
It would certainly be visible in the telescopes of all amateur astronomers. Millions of amateur astronomers, many of them do not secretly work for the US government nor for Edgar Mitchell.

I dont know why the planet is’nt worried, but certainly it’s not just a “coincidence”. We caused it to happen. I beleive in it, a little but I know it was our fault, not just a coincidence of the celestial event. We caused the Ozone Layer to break apart and by our chemicals, there is now a hole in it. Since the Ozone is basically the only thing that protects us from the sun’s heat waves that are passed by every 3600 years , the flares will hit us and the Earth will burn. SOO, by New Year’s
Eve we probably will be dead (If it’s even true). But hey look at the bright side, atleast we can (hopefully) start a new fresh life right? And about the Nibiriu I have no idea sorry.

No, not real.

If there were a brown dwarf with a 3600 year period in orbit around the Sun, it would be easily observable. It would, for example, knock the socks off the Spitzer space telescope and would definitely have been detected by the IRAS satellite back in the early 1980s.

So you’re suggesting that looney New Agers know about a big, bright object that has escaped the notice of modern astronomy.

As a professional astronomer, I hope I can reassure you. It is absolute garbage! You have no need to be scared. Just enjoy life, no brown dwarf or wandering planet is going to come along and bang you on the head. Nibiru doesn’t exist, except insofar as it is one of the old names for Jupiter, and the Mayans couldn’t predict their own downfall at the hands of the Spanish, so they certainly couldn’t manage to predict the downfall of the Earth!

“And why is the rest of the planet not freaking out about this?”

Because the rest of the planet knows how to do simple research like typing “2012″ in the search field above (and I’m not even talking about looking it up in Wikipedia or something like it)
