xnibirux,
I understand your passionate belief in this, but can you not see the inconsistencies in the 'story'. No disrespect intended here, I just looked at the YouTube link...one thing that popped out at me was a contention that 'Nibiru' was "behind the Sun, and will be 'revealed' at the end of 2009"...
Do you see my confusion here? Others have contended 'Nibiru' to be on a very eccentric, 3600 year orbit, well off the plane of the Solar System. This would have to be the case to explain why the incursion of this massive body hasn't severly disrupted the planet's orbits. BUT, if this body has been approaching for the last 1800 years (after last apogee) then it would certainly have become visible as it reflected our Sun's light.
So, either it happens to be 'behind' the Sun, even though our Earth's orbit has a radius large enough to have 'seen' this approaching interloper, or it is a 'captured' brown dwarf on a very eccentric off-plane orbit (just as some comets, but of course, Nibiru is far more massive than any comet)...
Sorry, the facts of observed orbitral mechanics just do not fit with the scenario of a 'rogue' destructive mega planet. Especially when others claim that it is inhabited!!! What kind of society on this alleged planet would not have built sufficient technology by now...(3600 year orbits, three orbits alone is longer than from OUR Stone Age to today...).
Rational thinking must be used here. A belief is a belief. In fact, a belief can be stated as an hypothesis, if you will. But with a preponderance of contradictory evidence, a hypothesis must be, if not thrown out, at least revised to conform to the newly discovered evidence. N'est pas?
I favor knowledge over guesses...that's all.
Thanks for starting this thread...it has brought a lot to the debate. I've given my bit, I tried not to appear condescending, I hope I will be favored with the same courtesy.
Best...

That is correct, Nibiru is located behind the sun and now creates reflections called 'Sun Dogs' that have been seen from southern sections of the earth.

What about Quoar, Sedna, Orcus, Varuna and the so far unnamed 2005FY9 and 2003EL61 - to name just some of the larger objects known to orbit beyond Neptune?

Sundogs are seen all over the planet and have been for thousands of years.
And how would any object close to the Sun only be visible in the Southern Hemisphere?

Hey Nibiru guy, do you believe that Planet X is a brown dwarf star slightly smaller than Jupiter that passes by the Earth every 3600 years and was last written about by the Sumerians?

And do you know what era the Sumerians lived in?

Good try, but I think you know I meant the date. I'll tell you anyway so we can stop playing games, Sumeria lasted from roughly 3500 BC to 1800 BC. That's 3800 - 5500 years ago. Planet X seems to be a little overdue, no?
