does anyone believe in planet x (nibiru)?

originally, the Sumerians talked about their god Marmaduke living in the sky, either in Mercury or Jupiter. They called his home Nibiru. The Sumerians lived a long time ago and had a civilization that lasted quite some time, so looking at different times (sometimes different cultures, as Babylonia borrowed heavily from the Sumerians.), will give you different versions of what they believed.

A nutter named Zach Stickpin read some of the Sumerian history and got really confused, but through the fog he saw.... a dollar sign! So, he published a book about Nibiru and how the Sumerians knew all these things about the Solar System that they couldn't have UNLESS they were helped by a race of angels/demons/aliens from a planet that was neither Mercury (too hot) or Jupiter (too gassy), instead, they came from Nibiru itself... which he explained was a planet in a very slow orbit around the Sun. Every 3600 years they come back and steal gold. Yeah, I know... sounds stupid, but wait... there's more!

Sticky said that they would be back in 2075, to wreak havoc and steal our gold and whosis, but some of the OTHER doomsday nutters were calling for "Planet X" to appear in 2003... so, they co-opted Sticky's fake planet and called it their fake planet.

In 2003 Nibiru was a no-show.

After that... no, they didn't hang their heads in shame and run for the hills. That requires sanity and a conscience. Instead, they claimed that Nibiru would be here in 2012. More years to collect money by selling books to the terminally stupid.

There is no Nibiru. Astronomers would see it if it existed. Astrophysicists would see evidence of it in the orbits of the planets if it EVER existed. There is no evidence except what was faked or misinterpreted by some loonies.

No, I don't believe in Planet X or Nibiru, and neither do any professional astronomers or astrophysicists. There is no credible evidence for any such body. You see a lot of misinterpreted and misleading photographs by people trying to sell you stuff. These "mysterious" things are simply attributed to the rogue-planet theory. These are the same people who failed to predict the end of the world in 2003. They're just dusting off a new date and selling the same old hogwash to gullible people. I'm not sure how you think "the government" could hide something that people can just see for themselves. If these Nibiru claims are true, the planet would already be visible to hundreds of telescopes and so forth outside of government control, and we would be seeing its effect on the existing planets. Sorry, but the whole "government coverup" is just an excuse from these doomsayers why the facts don't fit their conclusions.

I'll believe in Nibiru when someone tells me where to point my telescope to see it for myself, or one of my friends in the southern hemisphere to look for it on my behalf.

I don't think this is too much to ask. but funnily enough, no one has managed to do that.

I suspect it is because Nibiru doesn't exist.

If you take a photo of the sun, you will quite often get Lens flare, this can look like a second sun. Its a well known phenomenon that is as old as photography. All the photos I have ever seen supposed to be Nibiru have been Lens flare. Or mars on a few occasions.

Planet X and Nibiru are two distinct fake planets.

Planet X was invented for the end-of-the-world of June 2003 as "predicted" by charlatans who had books for sale on "How to survive the passage of Planet X".

These are the same charlatans who have popularized the Big 2012 Hoax by "recycling" their Planet X scenario and adding other lies to it.

Nibiru was invented in the 1960s for a purpose that is NOT connected to 2012. In that story, the people of Nibiru need gold in order to survive. They don't have any on Nibiru. There is gold on Earth, but they can't stay here. So they created slaves (that's us) to mine the gold for them. Every time Nibiru comes close to Earth, they collect their gold. In the original story, Nibiru cannot return before the year 2085.

Ideas from the Nibiru story were stolen by the charlatans of the Planet X fiction, and added to the Big 2012 Hoax.

Yes. There are a whole lot of gullible people who actually honestly do think there's some kind of mysterious planet approaching the Earth that will come near it or hit it on December 21, 2012. As any actual astronomer can tell you, it's a load of total nonsense and you'd be better off not wasting your time worrying about it.

No really informed scientist believes in the existence of Planet X/Nibiru anywhere in the world, because they know it cannot possibly exist. The laws of physics simply don't work that way. Regarding your photographs, it sounds like you are experiencing something called a temperature inversion. The interface between two layers of air of different temperatures acts like a mirror, and the same effect can sometimes be seen under water for similar reasons.

You said "around the globe are the talks about planet x,nibiru". Well if you mean talk by the deluded, the ignorant and the plain stupid, then I would agree with you.

I found out recently that professional astronomers have to deal on a daily basis with letters regarding this wholly fictious subject matter. Whilst they toil away on real projects designed to uncover real knowledge about the universe, it seems that many of the general public are more concerned about a fictious planet that doesn't even exist.

Also the fact that you can't spell "photo" tells me something about your credibility and intelligence level, I'm afraid.

Seeing is believing in the scientific community.

Reminds me of doubting Thomas.

If Planet X or Nibiru do appear on Earth's horizons, we will see it.

If they do not, we will notice that also.

Moral of the story.

"In science nothing certain." Words of my Geology professor.

If anybody does some research, with doubt, in the theory, then you will discover the different stories behind the truth. The orbital path does not match-up with different versions of the story. Up to today, no amateur astronomer has found the planet. With so many amateur astronomers around the globe, someone should have found it by now.

Conclusion: It is not there. If it is, God speed to us all.
