I hope these guys are right cause i'll miss my two cats if the earth's surface churns and melts and perverts into chaos.

I wouldn't worry about it. Your cats will be fine. :)

Just in case, you should get some pet cockroaches, as it is virtually assured they will survive the coming chaos. ;)

Applewhite Jr.. I don't recall anyone ever saying that we didn't believe that the WTC towers could or could not collapse. To even bring this in this discussion about some rediculous hoax shows the pathetic nature of your being. You keep trying to back up your statments with things that have nothing to do with science or this so-called "planet X". People have even told you that this hoax has been around since the 70's. Jeeze. Anyone home? Apparently not.

Then you resort to calling US nerds? LOL. It's surprising you don't believe in religion, yet you believe in this crock? With such a weak mind i think you'd be brainwashed by now. Wonders never cease.

Oh yeah, nice that you have to back yourself up with "oh yeah im married. And you say you're going to miss your cats if the world ends?

<Jon Lovitz>Riiight. Married....yeah....thats the ticket </Jon Lovitz>

They use just enough science to fool people that know little about science.:disgust:

you cant seriously believe this cr@p.... at a quick glance it may seem semi-possible... but have you actually read that whole page??? its completely ridiculous... just a few examples...
"99% of the universe is made up of charged-plasma at the atomic level. Planets are dense-charged-plasma-spheres. The approach of Planet X back into our immediate solar system is sending a tremendous amount of electrically charged plasmatic-energy-particles in waves to all the planets in our solar system via the filamentary magnetic field lines that criss-cross the universe. The entire Universe is a connected web of electricity and plasma is the conductor. "

last time i checked the only plasma on earth (a planet) was in experimental fusion reactors and plasma cutting torches...
rolleye.gif


"The glowing plasma at the leading edge of our Solar System has recently increased 1000 percent. That higher-charged energy is in turn exciting the plasma and causing more of it to form, so you see more luminosity, more brightness. This energy is then flowing into the Sun, which in turn emits the energy and spreads it out along its equatorial plane, which is called the Ecliptic. All this is happening all at the same time and it's all working up to a crescendo where there is going to be a sudden shift."

if you look up into the sky as much as you claim... dont you think we would see this "glowing plasma at the leading edge of our solar system"?

not only does that site provided by Spoooon completely destroy their argument, but some of these things are so ridiculous that plain common sense should tell you its fake

I would like to immediately offer my services as a Planet X Computer Survival Consultant. For a fee, I will thoroughly test your computer systems for their ability to withstand this upcoming disaster. You do not want to find yourself without computer power to keep an active database on your food and water supplies after the earth has been reduced to an ash covered wasteland...............

I missed the money boat on the whole Y2K thing, ain't missing it on this one......... :-D

Umm, this is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard. At least Y2K had some sort of technical explanation. The "science" on this site is just moronic. "The glowing plasma at the leading edge of our Solar System has recently increased 1000 percent." Uh huh, and why don't I see this "glowing plasma"? "This energy is then flowing into the Sun...", how does energy "flow into the Sun" exactly? I must have missed that part of physics class. "99% of the universe is made up of charged-plasma at the atomic level. Planets are dense-charged-plasma-spheres." Yup, that must have been another lesson I missed in physics.

Really, stop worrying about retarded crap like this and enjoy life.

You are all wrong!
Planet X isn't a planet, it's a giant spaceship. Guess who's in it? The cows. Yep, that's right, they've come back for the cows of this world. Personally I just hope they are far far away and don't want to turn back when they find out about McDonalds from the cows of this planet.
So anyways it's going to be pork and chicken after next year. Wonder if McDonalds will collapse or start selling boca burgers.

:p :D :)

While I don't buy into the PlanetX scenario as described by the Zeta-whatevers (hey, why aren't they telepathically communicating with me? *pout*), it does concern me that flying chunks of space rock the size of Rhode Island can fly at us without us seeing them. It seems we have a rather massive blind spot and it stands to reason that if we are due for a little cosmic shake up, we probably won't see it coming. That's why I think it is a good idea to A) be at peace and B) consider that one day you might have to *gasp* survive without the luxuries we are used to.

Anyway, I think we have other things to worry about... like the poisons in our air, food, and water supply.

Dioxin, anyone? :p

Look buddy, we are trying to help you out here. You do realize that the people that came up with this theory believe that it was revealed to them by aliens from Zeta Reticuli. Just think about that.

if a rock the size of rhode island hit us, hell even half that size all life on earth would cease to exsist so I wouldnt worry about luxuries.

Should you move or stay?

LOL ... look at the Provinces and States list. You've got all the American and Canadian states(provinces), and ... very strangely ... Sao Paulo, where I live here in Brazil. And it looks like it'll "be ideally located after the shift for a continuing temperate climate and access to ocean fishing." Guess I'll start renting rooms in my house. Anyone wants to come? Price will be $100,000 a night (water and food expenses not included). Anandtechies get 5% off thorugh Anandtech Deals ... subscribers an additional 5% (hey Anand, hope this gets the number of subscriptions up). Operators are standing by.

Kamazon is a whackjob. He used to post his poorly-presented Lyndon Larouche crap over on the Hardforums until they finally gave him the ban he so richly deserved.

As for PlanetX, who really gives a rip anyway? If a force which we cannot stop is going to hit (or near-miss, almost the same thing) the earth sometime in the near future, what would it matter? We can't prevent it, we probably won't survive it, so it would all be kind of a moot point, wouldn't it?
On the other hand, as it's all pseudo-science that's being used to justify all this speculation, I say it's all BS anyway. For example, the earth (or any other body which orbits another body with a relatively much stronger gravity well, for that matter) cannot stop rotating. Be clear: the earth cannot "stop." If somehow it did, it would immediately begin to fall towards the sun, something that would have far more drastic consequences than any "pole shift."

That asteroid that flew by apparently came from the direction of the sun, so it would have been virtually impossible to see it. However, it wouldn't have destroyed the planet or anything. It would have caused approximately the same damage as the one that hit Siberia in 1908.

"However, if it had hit the Earth, 2002MN may have caused local devastation similar to that which occurred in Tunguska, Siberia in 1908, when 2000 square kilometres of forest were flattened. Whilst the vast majority of NEOs discovered do not come this close, such near misses do highlight the importance of detecting these objects. This reminder comes in a week when the UK telescopes on La Palma are being tested to search for NEOs."

Why are people freaked out about it, I just can't understand. It's not gonna happen, and if it does, theres nothing you can do about it.

bah. O&A are the two best radio jocks on the air.

Tell me, are you a Howard Stern fan then?

I mean, they do so much more then make fun of retards and yokels. How much have you listened to it anyway?

That was the most amusing read I've had in awhile.

You can't be serious, but if you are -- get on some meds -- Paxil or something.

In any case, Ptolemy, you need to study some astronomy and stop watching X-files and Conspiracy Theory.
