What's the story with Planet X 2012 apocalypse?

Kimia · 20-04-2009 09:32AM #1

Hey was reading the news there recently and read this thing about this Mayan prediction that the world was going to end in 2012 because Planet X is going to come hurtling into our orbit and smash into Earth. Tried to google it but found nothing much

Anyone have any insights?

I think that's just as far as their calender went.

As for another planet... if it was going to hit us in 3 years time and was planet sized we could probably see it by now.

What you might get in 2012 is something similar to the Carrington Event which was a massive sun flare that wiped the telegraph systems around the world back in 1859. If something similiar happend today the effect on our electrical grid would be catastrophic. And it looks like we might be entering a period of large solar flare activity over the next year or so.

Yep, it's a huge conspiracy.
The space shuttles have been putting a large black sheet with stars painted on it, in geosynchronous orbit to hide the planet from our view for all long as possible. Meanwhile, they manufactured the global financial collapse to withdraw huge amounts of money and resources from the world to build a space ark to escape in.

Bruce Willis and his motley crew of miners will save us.

Ah, the Hopi Indians.

There is no mention of it on Wikipedia therefore I think we can all agree this is not true.

My sister is obsessed with this thing. Scary thing is I think she really believes it. I also think she's becoming interested in scientology.

Kintarō Hattori · 20-04-2009 09:59AM

You googled it and didn't find much. Perhaps there's a very good reason for that.

i also believe that this is the first time in a milenia that all of the planets will be aligned together with the sun.

Supposedly, there will be some sort of gravitational effect that is supposed to make the seas rise and wipe us out.

JerryHandbag · 20-04-2009 10:22AM

Isn't there a film out about this soon? Starring Keanu Reeves as God or somesuch:rolleyes:

Edit: Ah here it is

Cool.

I for one can't wait because it'll mean I won't have to bother pay back any of my loans!

ScumLord · 20-04-2009 10:31AM

Those Mayans are full of ****. Do not trust them, do not buy anything off them, they do not know Elvis, there is no undiscovered temple they will just beat the **** out of you and then monkeys will come along after they've finished and give you another beat down.

BaconZombie · 20-04-2009 10:32AM

I think the chances of every planet lining up like ever happening are so slim that solar system would be long long, gone in the amount of time it would take for it to occur.

Try Google Universe, it's in beta testing at the moment but it's still pretty good.

Gummy Panda · 20-04-2009 11:01AM

Wait.. Isn't this planet x from some game/film called mutant chronicles, and it shows up just at the edge of Sol and tries to wipe us out?

We all survived, well apart from those on Ark-B

That's not ALL the planets... and Pluto doesn't even count anymore.

I just got a load of bits, take your pick between a Mayan calender, one of those pens that has the undressing ladys on it, or one very sick monkey. It did tricks and everything when I got it but as with the watches as soon as you get it home the damn thing stops working.

No it's been renamed Planet BOB.

If you can call a recession Stephen you can call a planet Bob.

ScumLord · 20-04-2009 12:30PM

That would just cause confusion between plants that bob and planets named Bob.

Depending on how common bobbing planets are.

Slap her, and slap her hard... :eek:

After 2012 there will be another "doomsday" perdiction. Probably 2020. Every few decades one pops up, it's never too far away. It stirs a lot of crap. Lots of theories etc etc. My theory is that the mayans got fed up writing the calander and just stopped.

Mayan 1: "So, what year are you on now?"

Mayan 2: "Just finishing year 2012"

Mayan 1: "Dude WTF? Why would you bother going so far? We won't be around to see it..."

Mayan 2: "So true, so true... well I guess i'm done, fancy a pint?"

What's the story with Planet X 2012 apocalypse?
