Any sign of Niburu?

Question

I heard NASA has seen it, and it will be close to earth in 2012 and will cause cataclysms...and stuff.

Yeah azred, right now, but in the future?
Apparently the planet goes real fast.

Azred, thanks. I hope you're right obviously.
On youtube there's a vid where they say Niburu usually orbits a brown dwarf or something, but is that possible? I thought the closest star to our sun is 4 light yrs away. Or is that a lie??

cambelp, it's too much of a coincidence that it's 12/12/12 on OUR calendar...

Answer 1

Don't tell me you actually *believe* that nonsense, do you?

There is no such thing or place as "Niburu" and nothing will happen in 2012 that will cause the End of the World...at least, nothing outside the normal realm of possibility that exists right now.

edit:
The likelihood of a planet-wide catastophe happening on 12 Dec 2012 is exactly the same as it is right this instant.
There is no planet "Niburu" upon which some advanced lizard-like race lives (or whatever nonsense Ickes purports).
There is no significance to the date 12/12/12 beyond what we wish for that date to have. To some, it is a date to fear; to me, it is just another day like any other.

second edit:
I wouldn't trust any information you might find on YouTube. That site is for entertainment purposes only.

Answer 2

There is no planet in the solar system called Niburu.

It is theoretically possible for the sun to have a brown dwarf companion (and when we finally start exploring other stars it would make a nice stepping stone out of the solar system), but its orbit cannot not cross that of Earth's. We know that because if an object dozens of times the mass of Jupiter came crashing through the inner system on a regular basis it would have totally screwed up the orbits of all the inner planets long ago. Earth as we know it simply could not exist in such a system. The brown dwarf would long since have scoured everything past the orbit of Mercury clean of anything bigger than an asteroid.

Answer 3

You are seriously misinformed. Niburu is a fictitious planet. NASA is not in the business of looking for planets; they launch space vehicles. The telescopes that do search for Near Earth Objects haven't found anything remotely like Niburu. There is no significance to any particular group of numbers in a date, since our calendar system is completely arbitrary.

Answer 4

Just a clarification.

The Mayan calendar ends on 12/21/12, not 12/12/12...

As far as the end of the world goes...

Matthew Chapter 24, Verses 33-36

So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that ait is near, even at the doors.

Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.

Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.

But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.

Answer 5

You heard wrong.
NASA has not discovered any new large body approaching from deep space.
The only thing special about 2012 is the Mayan calendar that completes a major cycle on that date, kind of like our calendar will do when it goes from the year 9999 to the year 10000.

Answer 6

Buy a sign. Write

"The end is near! Go to www.niburu.com for a complementary gift!"

on it and off you go to Main street.

It will be a great success. And what do you have to lose? The end is near, after all, isn't it? Then come back and tell us how much people cared.
