As I promised in my previous post on apocalyptical groups and the current
fervor by some over "Planet X", I will provide some background to the Planet
X hypothesis and I will provide the following "evidence" IN FAVOR OF the
hypothesis that there is a "Planet X" and that it may be heading in this
direction.
First off, what is "Planet X"? For those of you who are new to this concept,
Planet X (also known as Nemesis in scientific circles, the 12th Planet, and Nibiru) is a hypothesized member of our solar system which has yet to be
"discovered" by modern Science. There have been several ideas over the years
as to what this object might be. Guesses from a small Earth-sized planet, to
a Jupiter sized planet, to a Red/Brown Dwarf Star, to even a small black hole.
The current "Planet X" fervor is that a large planet orbits the Sun in a very
large elliptical orbit (which means that instead of orbiting in a circle, it
orbits in an egg shape, where it comes very close to the Sun and moves very
fast at one point of its orbit and is very very far away from the Sun and
moves very slow at the far point of its orbit. Those associated with the
ZetaTalk folks believe that this planet
will be entering into the inner Solar System and will pass a mere 15 million
miles from the Earth (1/6th the distance from the Earth to the Sun). The
gravitational and electromagnetic interactions between the planets, they
claim, will cause the Earth to flop on its side and change its axis of
rotation which will displace continents and cause utter destruction.
The Scientific Evidence:
1. Even before the discovery of Pluto in 1930 (I think) those who studied
Neptune and Uranus noticed a wobble in their orbits. This wobble was
significant enough to imply a fairly massive body further out. However
Pluto and its moon Charon are very tiny bodies, amounting to no more mass
than mooons. Indeed, even with the discovery of Pluto, the expectation
was that a gas giant (like Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune) would be
out there, not these tiny rocky bodies. Current speculation is that Pluto
and Charon are actually escaped moons of Neptune. So what is causing these
wobbles? The inner planets are accounted for. There must be *something*
further out causing these tell-tale signs. Reference
2. After studying the records of mass extinctions throughout geologic history
a hypothesis, which has gained quite a bit of support has been that a heavy
astronomical body periodically enters the Oort Cloud (the Oort cloud is a
postulated cloud of decent sized icy bodies (potential comets) which exists
beyond Pluto) and scatters many of these icy bodies, which fall into the
inner solar system and become comets (and with enough of them getting close,
one is likely to hit the Earth and cause the death of most species). Looking
at the fossil record, some scientists have postulated a 26 million year period
(orbit) for this body. However, in my perspective, not every crossing would
cause comets to come near and strike the Earth, so I would imagine the period
would be much shorter. Reference
Cultural Evidence:
1. There are so many cultural references to astronomical events, that I chose
to only talk about one that directly ties into this topic: the Sumerians.
The Sumerians where the pre-flood civilization (some would say the FIRST
civilization) which grew up out of nowhere in present day Iraq. Archaologists
uncovered tons of cuneoform tablets of Sumerian records and have slowly
decoded them over the decades. Perhaps the best known Sumerian expert is
Zecharia Sitchin, who is universally hailed for his decoding of the Sumerian
language (if not for his interpretation of said records). To be brief, the
Sumerians, according to Sitchin, were genetically altered by the Annunaki,
visitors from a 12th planet in the solar system called Nibiru, into the
"modern human". They learned much of the culture and "science" of the
Annunaki, including astronomy. There is evidence that the Sumerians knew
about Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto (all (re)discovered 4500 years later). Reference
Esoteric Evidence:
1. Ok, this damn thing is already too long. So I will make this section as
short and concise as I can. First, there is no way to test things in this
category without just waiting and seeing if things happen. The accuracy of
one prediction does not tell us anything about the accuracy of another type
of prediction. And predictions, depending on your belief in fate or in
chance (or a mix of the two), may change at any moment. In lieu of bringing
forth "arguments" about the plethora of asteroid strike movies, scientific
plans for dealing with asteroid strikes, massive funds for asteroid hunting,
and any silly arguments on current readiness of Homeland Security (BAD GIRL
NANCY), and all this circumstancial "evidence" which proves nothing (because
asteroids ARE a risk as is terrorism), I want to focus on the prophecies.
The Zetas have an impressive record on some specific items and a lot of
general items. There are many prophecies which come true every day. I have
myself witnessed small time prophecies and "deja vu" and "dreams" which have
ended up coming true. And so in regard to the Prophecy by the Zetas of
Planet X visiting us over the next month, one should at least look at what
is said and get one's own gut feeling over this prediction. Reference
Personal Experience:
What I am going to relate to you is a dream I had, at least 3 months ago. I
normally dont remember my dreams unless they are Deja Vu or extremely striking
as you will understand with this one. My family and I were outside playing
in the yard when I noticed behind a white barn what first looked like
a small version of the moon appear in the sky. It grew larger and larger and
I ran around the barn to get a good look. I remember seeing it rotating on
its axis and it got very very close. I could just look on in awe as the
spinning moon or planet dove down under the horizon, missing striking the
Earth. I suddenly felt sick to my stomach and felt the sky over me turn
and twist in a wierd way. We all immediately ran to the car. I remember
that we followed our uncle onto the interstate, but as we got close to the
city, it was so jammed, that my brother in law cut through fields. The
wind really picked up and trees were really blowing and it was hard for
him to keep the Explorer under control. The radio was full of lots of paniced
talk and many stations just werent there. As we tried to get back to the
house, going thru fields, I woke up. *shudder* I dont know if I want to
comment on how accurate most of the aspects in my dream would be in that
situation.
In the next piece, I will put forth the evidence/arguments against Planet X
so that you may decide. If anyone is seriously interested in any of these subjects
or wants to see if I'm just full of shit, I'd gladly chat with you about it
or discuss via email.
