The Greatest Hoax Of The 21st Century: 2012 Armageddon
80Reasons behind Dec 21 2012
Why have so many lies been told in order to create fear over this date. This is an open ended question that could be answered many many different ways. I think the reason that makes the most sense is to profit from it. Many people have websites on this subject which creates ad revenue, and sells their Ebooks. This date has been blown out of proportion for pure greed. Another reason is for recruiting religious groups. Any time there is the possibility of a world changing disaster people feel more inclined to convert to a religion for two reasons. The first being that maybe there devine being they worship may spare them from the catastrophe, and the second being that they will go to heaven or a similar place apposed to hell. In my opinion these are the reasons why some are spreading fear about this date.
Hurricane Katrina
Current Weather Theory
Some people attribute our changing climate to the fact that we are coming closer to Galactic Center.They say that we are experiencing more Natural Disasters because the magnetic field is disrupting the Earth. This is false because we are not going close to Galactic center, we are actually moving away from it (see my post on the Galactic Plane). Our climate is changing for several reasons:
1. Human Emissions and pollution, this is what is causing the majority of the climate change
2. The Earths orbit
3. Relationship between the Ocean and the Atmosphere
4. Volcanic Eruptions
5. Activity of the sun
The emissions you and I create enforce the greenhouse effect. Humans are causing the climate change not the Galactic plane, Nibiru, or anyone else. I know that we like to blame others for our mistakes, but it is us that is destroying our beautiful planet.
Nostradamus
Prophecies
Some of these Dooms Day theories are derived from Nostradamus and the Bible. To both of these I give no weight to them scientifically. For Nostradamus his predictions are so vague that they are open for interpretation. I am not very familiar with the bible but again, both of these sources bear no weight in a scientific discussion.
Planets on December 21st 2012
Planetary Alignment
The above is where the planets will be on December 21st 2012. They are not even close to being aligned. One storey is that all the planets will align on December 21st 2012 and it will also be aligned with the Galactic Plane. I have already debunked that we will not be going through the Plane in the year of 2012. There will be no planetary alignment on December 21st 2012 period. It amazes me that some people are still lying to you, trying to spread fear and sell there E books that all have to do with "Surviving 2012".
Earth's Magnetic Field
Pole Shifts and 2012
There are two different theories on the pole shift that will occur on December 21st 2012. The first I will talk about is a magnetic pole shift, which is a reversal between the North and South poles. The second pole shift I will be covering is a physical shift of the Earth's Crust.
Magnetic Pole shift: The above picture shows the Earth during a magnetic pole shift (which is currently happening).As you can see the Earth's magnetic field is not dormant during this pole shift, it just becomes more complicated. So as this pole shift occurs the Earth's South pole could travel up to Asia, or to Africa, until the poles have completely swapped spots. During this pole shift we are still protected against solar storms and space radiation. A Magnetic pole shift is a slow process, it takes hundreds even thousands of years. The biggest consequence of this pole shift will be changing our compasses in a few hundred years.
Physical Pole Shift:This occurs when the Earths crust shifts. We have had a few degree physical pole shift, but not a physical polar reversal. This would take a vast amount of energy that could not be linked to any increase in solar activity, or natural cycle. A physical polar reversal would be devastating to the Earth and its inhabitants, but you would not be able to pinpoint a day of this event or if it will even happen.
Galactic Plane
Galactic Plane Theory
What is the Galactic Plane? The Galactic plane is a gravitational field stretching out from the black hole in the center of the galaxy, that has a very high force of gravity. The black hole in our galaxy has an estimated mass of one trillion stars, which is what gives it such an enormously strong gravitational field. Because the black hole is so massive, it spins incredibly fast which causes the Galactic plane to be quite thin and it also causes our galaxy to have a spiral shape. In the picture above the Central Galactic Plane is the gravity field created by the black hole.
I am not denying the fact the this plain does exist, because it does. If we were passing through it in a few years it would lead to catastrophic disasters on our planet. Because the Earth moves in a sinusoidal curve back and forth over this Galactic plane we are heading towards it, but will not move through it for a long time.
So what would occur if we did move through this Galactic Plane? Large solar flares, like nothing we have seen before which could scorch the Earth. A pole shift, and many natural disasters. These natural disasters would be unlike current natural disasters they would be much larger and more intense.
Now I will try to show you why this will not occur any time soon. Right now we are not very close to Galactic center. And precession is such a slow process the position of Earth with respect to the galactic plane on Dec 21st 2009 will be very similar to the position of earth on Dec 21st 2012. It would make more sense in fifty to a hundred years time. Not the short period of time until December 21st 2012. However, from other sources this cycle occurs approximately ever 33 million years, and there is evidence we crossed it three million years ago which would indicate we would still be moving away from Galactic center and not towards it.
Summary
The galactic plane is a real thing, caused by the black hole in the middle of our galaxy. Passing through it could be catastrophic, but we will not be passing through it for another 30 million years. There is evidence showing the Earth passed through this plane three million years ago.
The Mayan's
First off a brief history of the Mayan's. They were a ancient civilization that were brilliant astronomers. There calenders were accurate enough to track every planet in its orbit and then show dates of astrological events such as a lunar eclipse. So where do the Mayans come into play in this hoax you might ask? Well they have a few calendars, one of them called the long count calendar. It has a period of 5,126 years, the end of this long count calender is set for December 21st 2012 (the long count calender on this day will be 13.0.0.0.0). The Mayan's never predicted the destruction of the Earth on this day, instead they said great change would happen on this day. They never said what the great change was, it could be the destruction of the Earth, however, others speculate it to be a shift from our old ways, a kind of a spiritual evolution (I on the other hand believe no such spiritual evolution will occur). Also the calendar might be just reset from 13.0.0.0.0 to 0.0.0.0.1. Some say that on this day the Earth will align itself with the galactic plane, this is false though, it will not align with galactic center. No where does it say the doomsday will occur on December 21st 2012. We tend to think beginning to end, which is completely different then how the Mayan's think, they thought in cycles, their calendar does not end it is just another cycle.
Do not live in fear because nothing will happen on this day, it will just be another day except the doomsayers will feel really foolish. However, it is always important to have a plan for natural disasters as these could occur at any time. It is important to have enough water and food to last you a month, as well as survival clothes. I urge you right now to make a survival kit for you and your family and always be prepared. Right now there is a lot more to worry about then 2012.
A Wong Translation
The Sumerian's part in the hoax
First off who were the Sumerians? They were an ancient civilization that existed from 2900-1800 BC, who lived in the area of mesopotamia. A large amount of evidence supporting 2012 is taken from the Sumerian's.
I will start by talking about the above picture. In the above picture it has been said that this shows every planet in our solar system, in the correct dimensions and distance away from the sun (Jupiter the largest, Earth the third planet etc etc.), but it also shows 12 planets. If you minus the sun and the moon (they thought these were both planets) that leaves us with 10 planets. This is where the myth of Nibiru comes from. Nibiru is a planet said to be four times the size of Earth and having a 3600 year orbit around the Sun, its orbit comes very close to Earth. The picture above was originally translated by Zecharia Sitchin. However, the symbol for sun in the Sumerian culture is not what is in the middle of this diagram, it closely resembles the symbol for the sun (below is a picture of the Sumerian symbol for the sun, now look back at the picture above and compare the symbols), but instead it is the symbol for a star. This is counter argument number one to Planet X (Nibiru).
The second argument being if it truley was only about four years away from close contact with the Earth we would be able to see it by now. In some reports it has four times the mass of earth. If it was coming at Earth it could not be more than a billion killometers away, therefore we would already be able to see it. For example Pluto would be both further away and smaller then the approaching Planet X. It is believed by some that on this Planet X is a race called the Anunnaki (meaning those from Heaven in Sumerian). They are an alien race that came to Earth on Planet X's last orbit into the inner solar system. There is talk of them being the creators of the human race, and giving the Sumerian's knowledge of the planets in the solar system. Which some use to explain the picture above because the Sumerians would be unable to see Pluto without a telescope, but I have already explained that the picture is not what is appears to be. And if these superior beings did give the Sumerians Knowledge of our solar system why would they tell them that both the moon and the sun are planets when they are not?
I believe the most concluding evidence is the lack of evidence of this Planet X. It is fantasy, nothing more.

Great point, there is a lot of evidence pointing towards this event, there is a lot of hype, which is getting people very very scared. However, most of it can be explained, most of it has been blown out of proportion. So here is my reaction to your argument: On the bible you got me, I am not very religious and do not have very much knowledge of this. But in the world of Science the Bible does not really hold up to well... As for Nostradamus I also give no validity to this source, his predictions are vague and he has predicted dooms day before. The galactic alignment and galactic plane I will be getting to this eventually, I have found software on the Internet which allows you to see the planets orbit on everyday of the year, even into the future. I will post a picture of my findings, you may disagree now but please keep an open mind. The people writing their findings want you to be scared, it creates hype. Check back often, I will be updating this hub soon, thanks for the comment Vital Speed you made some valid points.
@Vital Speed you are misinformed there really is no such thing as galactic alignment the planets are never completly aligned.What occurs every 26,000 years is called precession and it will occur on 12/21/12 as it always has every 26,000 years all it basically means is completing a rotation and we will eventually pass through the galactic plane which some scientists fear will leave us open to more meteorites,asteroids,etc...But,their current calculations range anywhere from a few hundred to a few million years.As far as the bible goes I really don't know how it ties in the last time i heard the thumpers were saying 5/11.
I would also be interested in knowing what scientist has said superwaves from the center of the galaxy could knock out eletronic communication.During solar peak which happens every 11 years a large enough flare could disable eletrical grids and communication I dont remember when but part of canadas electric grids were knocked out by a large solar flare once.Currently the sun is devoid of sunspots.Nostradamus his predictions were so vague you can really interpret them to mean what ever you want usual after the fact.I also don't know of any current modern astronomer that currently believes this rubbish astrologers sure,but,there is a huge difference between the two.
I'am a true lover of astronomy and always up to date on what is occuring in our universe as a matter of fact the only reason i'am up now is so that I can see comet lulin during its once and only approach to earth 38million miles is pretty darn close.
I have never heard of this solar peak which can knock out electrical grids. I will have to look into this. I am also an very interested in astronomy. Comet lulin was that the one that is flying tail first? I wanted to see that comet but it was overcast last night where I live. Thanks for the comments :)
Oh well, I guess I better start making my credit card payments again.
Stupid Myans.
Haha yup that would be a good idea Joe :).
The solar flare occured on march 6th 1989 it tripped one or more power grids in quebec.Its not the solar maximum or minimum that does the damage its a large sunspot emitting a cme or solar flare. We usually reach maximum during the suns polar reversal last week a sunspot emerged that was still part of solar cycle 23 and a couple of days ago they found one part of cycle 24 but its already fading.Each solar cycle roughly last 11 years.If a large enough flare hit it could disable communications from our sattilites,etc...it would not actually physically kill anyone on earth.
Yeah, Comet Lulin is actually moving the opposite direction of the planets.
My husband, sis in law, and I have been talking about 2012 for a while now. I go through cycles of saying, "ha! what hog wash!" and "oh hell, we're doomed!" As a rule I don't buy into doomsday prophesies, but 2012 stuff is everywhere. Thanks for boosting my rationality. Fear mongering is pervasive these days. I read a book in college about Mayans and modern folks who carry on their traditions called "Breath on the Mirror"--non-fiction. There is a great deal in it about naming the days...as some people still do this. It's always occurred to me that the calendar would eventually reset. I don't figure the world will end when my desk calendar runs out of pages or that my bank account is empty because I run out of checks.
Thanks for putting my mind at ease!
:) good to hear
I'm going to run down my steet naked on 12/21/12. Why? Because it'd be funny, just like it'd be funny if I did it tomorrow.
Hell yes.
If we are alive after this date. 01/01/2013 there is a huge party at my house!warm beer no electricity but beer none the less!
One little point. People keep throwing in the Bible:
1. as if it had anything to do with this 2012 stuff, but then giving no support to that claim. The Bible is not a book of hidden codes, secret messages, or doomsday predictions, and no thoughtful respecter of the Bible reads any of this 2012 hype into it.
2. and then dismissing it with, "I don't really know anything about that." If you don't really know anything about it, then you have zero basis for either accepting or rejecting any bearing it may have on the subject.
same here.. i don't really know anything about that!
SC Vital Speed, just wanted to inform you that you're retarded. He basically debunked every single point you "made". Oh, and the massive planet X is more than likely to exist, and the govt knows about it due to its large gravitational influence on other planets? Well mr. retard, you might want to learn about this other planet, called Jupiter. It's over thousands of times the size of the earth. Oh yeah, there's also this other planet, "Saturn", which is also orders of magnitude larger than earth. So Planet X, if it existed, which it absolutely does not, would have a negligible gravitational effect on any planet, unless of course it passed RIGHT BY us... in which case the site creator noted, we'd be able to see it by now.
Thanks for showing us how stupid you are! It was good for a laugh or two.
I think something will happen in 2012 in it's not just another Y2K scare. There are so many things that our great ansestors have warned us about. We should really take this 2012 date as a warning. Crop circles are already showing up the size of 4 football fields mapping 3D images of our solar systems accross england. 2012 is here and we should act now. Bee's are dieing, people are starving, and the aliens are coming. LOL!
You never know...everything here and around is theory anyway.
Nice to see some thinking outside of the box tho
'Accept nothing without proof, Dismiss nothing without proof'
Open your mind to everything
Doker: I think you really should respect others thought. Do you know about your own body?it's part!it's active cell!how nerves are connected on each part of the body.
It's all pre-design. Vital didn't say he discovered he was going thru some of the theory. You take science or Mythology both are based upon theory.
I don't know whether 2012 is true. If not then okay. But if it is then we should at least try something to save. Again it's different matter whether we can do it. But what's harm in trying.
Since last 1 year I am also seeking the great evidence and I have gone through so many books. But still I am unable to find the exact reason. Eventhough I'll not say it's hoax. I'll say I am not expert on astronomy so may be it is being difficult for me to believe all.
But fren I've one observation: people who are programmer, hacker or those who are in technology basically. They are believing it. I don't know why. I am also from technology Background. And somewhat I also believe this.
I think that this whole thing is (excuse the langage) all shit!
Ok, if its true then we all mostly die. So what?? The planet is doomed with so many people anyways. I just hope I live. IF not, so be it. Rest of you can shove off. HA!!
all i know is that the galatic alignment will happen there will be an eclipse causing 2 days of darkness. the magnetic poles are changing and there will be solar flares heading toward earth. who knows what will happen. just know on 12/20/12 and 11.59pm i will be enjoying myself a fat joint waiting to see how everything plays out.
Has anyone seen the hilarious commercial and website on the Institute for Human Continuity (IHC)? or watched the interesting videos on YouTube(2012 fact or fiction 1-8)? These scientists are doing a great job promoting their doomsday books. No man nows when that day will come.
Ya with the lottery for survival and stuff. i went to the website and its a legit site. but on the commercial it says on the bottom this film has not been rated.....rofl
the fact of the matter is NO ONE KNOWS SHIT, so dont get all freaked out about 2012 just be prepared, just in case cause ill tell you what the government is getting prepared... maby you should take precautions as well.
No one really does know, I believe I have disproven the most common of the doomsday theories. You should always be prepared for natural disasters.
You covered a lot of ground, I'm hoping that things will take a smooth transition like from BC to AD. Great Hub!
All this blather is just to sell books. Nothing odd will happen on 12/21/2012 except all you ding-a-lings who believe this will be embarrassed, and probably DISAPPOINTED! Imagine that. "Rats, we're wrong and are all still alive."
I don't believe 2012 will happen, considering that it looks very ridiculous imagining a hell lot of natural disasters happening at once.
But if it does happen, it happens. But I think it would be because some of us, to be honest, are treating earth horribly.
I looked a lot of these sites on both ends of the spectrum and this is the only one that would back it up with evidence. How is it that several scientists (professionals in their respective fields) when asked what the significant event is going to be, no one knows. The closest response we have received is a polar shift and we don't know by how much, how long it will take and what effect it will have on our planet. But they can claim that they have enough evidence to come up with an exact date. Just check out a couple Youtube sites and see what I'm talking about.
Also, Earth has gone through many changes over hundreds of millions of years. It's never been a sudden change that takes place over days or even hours. Why would it suddenly start now?
I agree with you on the hype aspect of 2012. We could blame the ease of publishing on the Internet for that. But on the same token we could say that the host of hubpages is nothing more than a parasite living off of the avails of the herd.
If you make a penny off of this hub does that make you a charlatan and a hoax.
I personally publish plenty of blog posts on 2012 issues and yes I make 2 bucks a day from the hundreds of hours that it took me to research the material. Does that make me a snake oil salesman.
One thing I never do is make claims about any of the 2012 scenarios. Society as it is today could use a good dose of higher consciousness and some 2012'ers state that the great year will be nothing more than a portal to a better world.
You are right there crooks who would say anything to make money from the subject. But did it ever occur to you that wherever there is talk of money or the exchange of money there is likely to be a thief in the near vicinity.
If earning money from talking smack on the net was a crime then likely half the blogs and websites would be shut down.
Maybe they should be?
Our world might be a better place then. But it would be an infringement on free speech.
2012 might be a total hoax as you claim but I will personally only say that when 2013 shows itself.
The Grand Planetary Alignment - Not 2007 or 30013 BUT 1982-1984. Back then the planets aligned, people predicted that it was the end of the earth, nothing happened but it looked great. Nice site to look up and see all the planets clearly. Not a straight line but a slight arc.
You makea great point with this. I don't think the world will end on this day, but I must say I will be scared to death when it gets closer to 2012..LOLZ.
I live with a bloke who eats, breathes, and dreams about this stuff and is making my life completely miserable saying we have to move to a 'safer place', learn combat, store enough food for 3 years, learn to make candles and bla bla bla! I got so depressed few months ago I did not even want to be here at all! Now, thankfully, I am at the point that I choose to live my life in the present, with love and joy, and bugger this stupid comet!! Let it come, I say, but its not going to destroy the life I choose to live now..in each moment!!
um september 15, 2014 is the actual date when things here will go major apetard. NOT 2012. We have an extra 2 years almost.
Well this is very interesting, I am into the 2012 whole idea, but I do not believe that anything bad would happen, you all talked about the bible , but did anyone think of the "Quran" which is the Islam religion book, I am not a religious person but based on Quran some facts deny that the end of the world would be 2012, I am not saying Quran is right, I will just state few of what has been mentioned there, and also by profit Mohammad and other profits:
Signs of the End of the world based on the Quran:
1. World War 3.
2. Palestine would be free from Israeli's and claimed back by Palestinians.
3. Return of Jesus Christ.
I honestly do not recall anymore, but many others things have been said, and again i say, I am not saying Quran is right or wrong, I am not against Israeli's, Palestinians or whoever the land belongs to in the first place, I am just saying in a way that, if 2012 is doomsday then Islam and Quran is wrong, one must be right, either 2012 or Quran.
I am just trying here to ease it off some people who are afraid of the 2012 world end, if you want to know more, take religion books in consideration, Christian, Muslim and Jewish, take what they say, compare it to science, compare it to media, get the best out of it, there must be conflicts and lies in the end.
Sorry I do not mean to offend anyone here, just trying to help :) peace to all!
alright, found this article here that is around the same subject of what I've mentioned above

um september 15, 2014 is the actual date when things here will go major apetard. NOT 2012. We have an extra 2 years almost.
And so it continues, new doomsday theories, every civlization of man thinks his time will be the last, every civlization of man thinks the era they live in is the most important (of course) none of us want to think that one day our current civilization will be considred ancient history and regarded as quite primitive.
the scariest part of this 2012 hype is the ignorance of the collective human mind. even if nothing happens in 2012 the events leading up to that one date will have dramatic impact on a global level. this doomsday theory is unique because it is being brought to life years before it will actually arrive. this time allows for more widespread panic
perpetuated by the ignorance of man. 3rd world countries would not have been affected by y2k even if it had been a disaster. 2012 will spread into the minds of every person on the planet. whether they believe or not doesn't matter. what matters is that collectivly all human consciousness will be focused on this event. the prospect of what happens when 9 billion plus people are focused on one event is more terrifying to me than any of the 2012 theories
well I'm a bit worried...I try to be all brave saying that people r just trying to panick us...and reading people disproving this event has calmed me bt I kno tht I will be terrified come tht day
Quick question who do you believe when everyone contradicts themselves?
Q: What is the polar shift theory? Is it true that the earth’s crust does a 180-degree rotation around the core in a matter of days if not hours?
A: A reversal in the rotation of Earth is impossible. There are slow movements of the continents (for example Antarctica was near the equator hundreds of millions of years ago), but that is irrelevant to claims of reversal of the rotational poles. However, many of the disaster websites pull a bait-and-shift to fool people. They claim a relationship between the rotation and the magnetic polarity of Earth, which does change irregularly, with a magnetic reversal taking place every 400,000 years on average. As far as we know, such a magnetic reversal doesn’t cause any harm to life on Earth. A magnetic reversal is very unlikely to happen in the next few millennia, anyway.
Are we in a magnetic shift or not? are the physical poles shifting or not? hypothetically the energy needed to cause this major shift that everyone says there is no evidence of is present everywhere solar flares will increase 2012 -2014, sucks during a magnetic shift! But who needs to worry about solar energy messing with magnetism, gravity, or our weather when you have the brillian scientists at NASA to do it for you. I don't know lets show all these skeptics how much faith we have in science by proving we can do anything and not cause 2012 to come about. Perhaps we should fire a rocket at the moon, mess with its gravitational relationship with the earth, tides, and weather so we can find water for our space geeks to drink. Lets spend billions to prove we can inhabit a rock that isn't going to save anyone when shit does hit the fan. Did any of these geniuses think, hum, I wonder if we do find water, and even if there is a .000000099% chance it is linked with the symbiotic relationship between the moon and earth, should we risk our planet, even if the risk is .000000099% especially during this HOAX 2012 period? Nah, its Nasa THEY'RE USED TO WALKING ON WORLDS, I'm sure no species destroys itself.
Once the scientist, specialist and elite in there field, learn how to prove a theory hoax by offering scientific data and proof sufficient in even the least respect to discount all these possibilities. I think let the theorists have their theories and let the scientists earn their wages.
Might be , a quite significant change would occur bcoz how far earth and/or our civilization(as a whole) would go in a monotonous way
If anyone knows these lines : "Day out n day in, same news with a permanent repeat . . . dis world is Rotting"
It's from Death Note (A wonderful anime series with Excellent beginning n English dubbing too . .. )
doker, your language sure doesn't help. Everyone is entitled to an opinion, and if yours differs, kindly express it respectfully. No one likes having a bigot around, especially a rude one. This topic is something that has not been carved in stone or proven scientifically, everything is still in speculation - you could be right, but you could also be wrong. And if the latter, the words you used - "retard" and "stupid" would just fall flat in your face.
Imagine a few hundred years ago prior to the discovery of Uranus with a telescope in 1781, when you stumbled upon the Sumerian Tablets that tell of all the planets, and you considered these tablets and the Sumerians retarded and stupid, talking about planets that don't exist, just because your powerful telescope couldn't spot it, something as "big" as Ur-anus...(haha! sorry, pun intended! don't mean to be rude myself)
Enjoy HubPages! ;-)
just because some old civilizations thought the world might end doesnt mean it will. there is no real proof that i found that will make the world end on 2012. if someone could please show me PROOF i might be convinced. and werent we supposed to die in 1982, 1988, 1991, 1994, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, and 2000? whats so special about 2012 when there were HUNDREDS of wrong predictions?
oh and the bible says nothing about 2012 being the end of the world, just says NOBODY KNOWS WHEN IT WILL END. :)
I agree all of this 2012 stuff is realy a bunch of hype and a shamless plug to sell books and movie tickets. If 2012 was the end of the world; what could you do about it? Run outside throw your hands up and try to keep the sky from falling? I am also a Christian and everyone keeps saying that the Bible also claims 2012 is the end of the world.
All I have to say to them is to read it again; it says that no man knows the day or the hour. The only good thing about all of this is to remind people that life is a gift and it is short; so make everyday count. Okay that is the end of my rant.

I must say thi is a cool hub, but I respectfully disagree. Everything you said does indeed make it all sound like a hoax, but there is countless evidence that ranges from the Bible to modern astrononmy which all suggest that 2012 will be a year of unparalleled traumatic change. Nostradamus predicted that 2012 might be a year of apocalyptic proportions. There have been apocalyptic predictions throughout history, but this is the first time that they are actually coinciding with the real world. Nibiru may indeed be a hoax, but the planet is physically decaying and the sun is nearing it 24th cycle in which it will peak and there are a string of countless scientific theories about what could happen, none of which is pleasant. The Galactic alignment, is going to occur on 2012, and that only happens every 26,000 years. There are many scientists that believe superwaves from the center of the galaxy might at the very least wipe out all electronic communication or complete obliteration at most. .... must i go on?
Lastly, Nibiru is more than likely true but hidden from the public by the government. Planet X has been known for decades that it existed because of the effects its huge gravity has on the other planets in the solar system, and it was also known that we weren't able to see it due to its highly eliptical orbit which take 26,000 years to orbit the sun. The reason we aren't able to see it yet is because the first time it will be able to be seen in the northern hemisphere is in the second half of this year. Right now planet X is visible in the southern hemisphere will a telescope and naked eye in antarctica. I guess we'll find out for sure if its a hoax or not sometime around June. :)
By the way, I am too in my second year of college and majoring computer science. I look forward to your next hub.
