question about nibiru

[Luis Acherbo]

why would our goverment try to hide the fact of another planet? dont know much about nibiru

[Jay Chow]

Bit of a broad question to which there are many answers! Do we know it's there? If they wanted to hide it, the reason would probably be that everyone would be shitting bricks!

There are? Really? Feel free to elaborate with your obvious mathematical and astrophysical knowledge.

I'm all about skepticism, just like the next scientist...but this shit is getting a bit out of hand.

Nibiru, more of a state of mind and a fellowship of warriors with fighting skills and tactics out of this world. A melee where each man fights as an individual.

Nice, Dwight!

There are plenty of amateur astronomers looking at the sky every night and spotting meteors and the like. I'm sure they would have noticed something as significant as a 10th planet by now. I'm with Dwight, I like the name as more of a metaphor.

Just a fact... but there are WAY more the 10 planets. Actually we now only refer to the first 8 ones as planets from mercury to Neptune. Pluto and all the other "objects" further away are now referred to as Transneptunian objects. And there is a shit load of them, most of them actually bigger then pluto and are almost as well documented. They all orbit in what is called the Kuiper belt, which has about 75 000 orbiting "planets" that aren't comets or asteroids. At least thats what they tell me in astrophysics class

No need for the insults :/

I didn't say it's there, I just said that if it was, and they did want to hide it, there'd be plenty of answers as to why. I didn't say I had all those answers, did I?

+another one.

Nibiru is allegedly four times the size of Earth -- making it slightly larger than Neptune. It also allegedly has an orbital period considerably less than that of, for example, Sedna: one of the many dwarf planets discovered well beyond Pluto (for comparison, Nibiru is supposed to have an orbital period of 3800 years. Sedna's orbit is between 11,800 and 12,100 years).

So an object that is larger than Neptune (which is almost visible with the naked eye under the right conditions) with one third the orbital period of a very small dwarf planet (which is itself less than half the size of the Moon yet managed to be found) somehow escaped detection by legions of amateur and professional astronomers; all of whom would gain instant world-wide notoriety for such a discovery? Nope.
