I Am Officially Pooping My Pants Now!

Not open for further replies.
I always get nervous when Tacky starts on about tugging the orbit of uranus.

I knew someone would post something like this when I wrote about a force tugging on Uranus, there's always one joker. :rolleyes:
But when you talk about officially pooping your pants in the first place, the discussion of brown dwarfs from Uranus (and indeed other strange matter that only exists in the end) is inevitable. [That's enough scat-aloguing of gaseous anomalies - everyone]
 
Why are people not taking this seriously? :cardie:

We've got about 3 years left and the clock is ticking.
I might take it more seriously if I believed a single word of what you posted.

Despite that, I've already got everything you mentioned earlier in place. For more realistic threats I might add.

I might take it more seriously if I had any idea at all what Nibiru was.

"Planet X"/"Nibiru"

Another theory circulating on the web relates to a large planetary object, sometimes claimed to be 20 times the size of Jupiter, which is currently en route to pass by Earth. Proponents claim that this object's passage will create a pole shift and cause the end of civilization. This planet, variously referred to as "Nibiru" (after a planet with a similar orbit in Zecharia Sitchin's Earth Chronicles series), "Wormwood" (after a passage from the Book of Revelation which describes a star named Wormwood falling from the skies) or "Planet X" (the name astronomers give to the hypothesis of a planet beyond Neptune), was first predicted by self-proclaimed contactee Nancy Leider after she founded the website ZetaTalk in 1995. Leider had originally claimed the object would pass by Earth in 2003; however, when that failed to occur she shifted her date to 2010. A number of websites and other doomsday groups have however linked Leider's planet to the 2012 date.

Criticism

Many believers in the imminent approach of Planet X/Nibiru/Wormwood claim that NASA is deliberately covering up visual evidence of its existence. However, astronomer and debunker Phil Plait has pointed out on his website that such an object so close to Earth would be easily visible to the naked eye, and would be creating noticeable effects in the orbits of the outer planets. Zecharia Sitchin himself has criticised the association of this doomsday scenario with his planet Nibiru, since he does not believe Nibiru will return in less than 1000 years. Also, the connection of this planet to the Planet X hypothesis has been discredited, since Planet X, as originally envisioned, was effectively disproved in 1993.

Something "20 times the size of Jupiter" traveling at a rate to be here in 3 years would...

A: Either be traveling at 15 times to speed of light for us not to see it or...
B: Traveling at a slow pace, but appear as large as the sun in our sky or...
C: Not exist at all because such a presence would already be knocking planets out of orbit.

Take your pick.

It has been seen. It was seen back in 1983 by infra red and it's at such an angle that it is viewable only from the south pole region..
 
I must admit that this panicking about a seemingly omnipotent and invincible object which no-one knows much about how it works, and of which many question its existence, is quite fascinating.

If a great cataclysm is threatening our way of life, isn't there some form of invention we can use to make the passing easier? Something more reliable than an underground hole in the ground in which to hide (and which will probably still be destroyed if it's a Deep impact)? Or have our creative and inventive juices dried up in the face of phobos and deimos?

I like to think of deciding when to give up and start preparing myself for The End™ based on two criteria: a) the threat is real and present and with a high confidence value of causing harm; AND b) the proposed solution doesn't work or isn't feasible given the time and resources available. If BOTH conditions are satisfied, well... meh.

Personally, if what you all say is true, and we really do have just over 3 years before The End™, I guess now would be a good time to make the most of things... :bolian:

Aww, i missed the free snog.

How convenient of it ...
 
Something big is coming

Anyone know what country's telescope was used to image that region of sky? Because if something about that region revealed telescope capabilities which the government in question did not want generally known, that would be a perfectly good reason to black it out.

The IRAS Infra-Red Telescope is in space and in orbit like the rest of the satellites, why would another satellite get in it's path?
 
First of all, why not? Second of all, that's not the point. The images themselves reveal the capabilities of the telescope that took them.
 
Sometimes a data error is JUST a data error and not indicative of a cover-up. :)

Mistakes are made, things get miscalibrated, data gets misinterpreted... That sort of thing. People make mistakes.

Keep telling yourself that.

:shifty: Listen, we are getting tired of performing "damage control" after people like you get online and start looking at stuff. Either knock it off or we are going to move you to an undisclosed location and insert random objects up your asshole and force you to listen to Bruce Springsteen 24/7. :shifty:
