Been watching some, on the face of it, quite compelling videos on this impending doom story, or is it fact?
P'raps our resident astronomy expert would like to air his views?
I personally think it's just another excuse for the weirdies to jump on the old bandwagon to try and create mayhem, but there again...... rubschin:

Serious.
Some MP over in Finland (I think) has apparently been gagged for divulging too much info about all the massive underground shelters that have been, and currently are being built for the impending doom to shelter our leaders and the 'selected few' that are considered to be the best bet for breeding a new and better future society.

Whatever the Finns are up to it's not building shelters against the imminent arrival of Planet X. It the usual crackpot theorists grabbing various unrelated facts, theories and downright lies to concoct an end of the world conspiracy.
There are lots of objects out in the far solar system, some recent discoveries are larger than than Pluto. There may even be a brown dwarf or two as well. They are very hard to spot. The thing is that they stay out there as they are in stable orbits around the sun. Thus there is no chance of them entering the inner solar system. However, there are a lot of smaller rocks that cross the Earth's orbit and they do hit the planet from time to time. The odds are still very, very low that you will be killed by one -Death by Meteorite (http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2008/10/13/death-by-meteorite/) So stop worrying.

Not worrying at all. Quite looking forward to the reaction of the great British public when we are told NOT to panic tbh. scared:

Another serious thread derailed.

The possibility of panic due to the impending doom is serious and relevant to the subject, so how does that constitute a derailment?
Seriously, when this Planet X becomes (alledgedly) visible in the sky in May 2010, I can forsee quite serious problems arising if the media start whipping up hysteria....as they've been known to do...for OUR benefit of course. ::)
-
If a large and mysterious planetary object appeared in the sky and seemed to be hurtling towards us I don't think even the Daily Mail could do additionally much to "whip up hysteria"
-
Sorry Growler. That was aimed at Snoopy's post but your one slipped in between.
The point is that Planet X won't appear in the skies in 2010.
-
When then?

It won't appear in the skies - period

You are SUPPOSED to be an intelligent man so I've been led to believe.
Planet X is currently 'hiding' behind the sun and approaching at several hundreds of thousands of mph, and is...apparently...already just visible from the far southern hemisphere...alledgedly, but will become more prevelant to us all in May 2010...so 'they' say.
For the benefit of Nick, it's NOT going to collide with Earth, but pass very close to the sun....so rumour has it.....and THAT is going to cause monsterously large disturbances on the sun that will have the effect of boiling us all to death.....very very slowly.
Seas will boil dry and the planet will be void of all useful life, which means the present government will survive.
I'm sure I watched a sci fi film about the sun swallowing up the earth slowly, many years ago. Quite scary iirc. scared2:
-
Who are 'they' Growler?
from the Wikipedia article on IRAS (Infrared Astronomical Satellite )
The observatory also made headlines briefly with the discovery of an "unknown object" that was at first described as "possibly as large as the giant planet Jupiter and possibly so close to Earth that it would be part of this solar system."[1] However, further analysis revealed that, of several unidentified objects, nine were distant galaxies and the tenth was "intergalactic cirrus".[2] None were found to be Solar System bodies.[2]
'they' are fruitcakes and not the edible kind either.

Well, anyone can hide behind the sun. It doesn't make them horrid

Growler started a perfectly sensible thread. It is going nowhere. I took an hour out to see what would happen and when I come back it reads like a script from a playground argument. I expect to hear someone saying "My brother is bigger than your brother".

Sir:
Statistically, we are 750 times more likely to be hit by an asteroid than we are to win the lottery. As someone wins the lottery every Saturday and every Wednesday, that means that fifteen hundred people a week in Britain must get hit by an asteroid. It is, then, a national disgrace that the list of charities which benefit from lottery money doesn't include a single Asteroid Help Line. The whole damn system is rotten to the core, I tell you.

He is already on two yellows. One more and he's out.

THEY, U.M., are too numerous to mention tbh. Just google in Planet X, and you'll find enough reading on the subject to keep you going until its arrival on 21/12/2012....lot of ones and two's in that date ey? rubschin: Any significance?
I've got a link to a 6 part video on You Tube if you want to see it.
He tells a pretty damned convincing story tbh, and does give you food for though.
But there again, he IS American. ::)
I'll dig the link out from the bowels of my e mails, and throw it on here later for your purusal if you so wish.
-
You're looking at the best part of an hours viewing, but regardless of your thoughts on the matter, it is quite interesting. Well I thought so anyway. ;)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8S0bj76389U&feature=related
Just previewed the post, and it doesn't do what I was expecting. confused:
The original link took you directly onto the You Tube site, and then you clicked onto the parts 2-6 or however many, at the side when you'd finished watching part 1.
I'm sure you'll find a way of finding the other parts if you want to watch them.
-
Watched part 1 and 2 last night, gave up on part 3.
I particularly liked the"assume this" and "assume that" all the way through part 2. A lot of assumptions if you ask me.
They start with implying that natural disasters, hurricanes, Tsunamis, earthquakes and the like are getting more powerful because planet X is already having an influence. For that sort of effect it would have to be right on top of us now. I can't say I've noticed it in the sky.
As I pointed out earlier the IRAS discoveries turned out to be extra-solar objects so the whole premise falls at the first hurdle. Even so, then they mention a body with about 8 earth mass which they equate with the (non existent)IRAS object that they say is Jupiter size and/or a brown dwarf. That would be 300 to 6000 times the mass of the earth!
The final point I thought of was that an object 50 billion miles out in the early 1980s cannot possibly have an orbit that brings it into the inner solar system in 30 years, ellliptical or not. At the speed it needs to do that the orbit would be open,. i.e. not an orbit at all but one pass through. So how can they refer to previous passes?
It would be funny if it wasn't so dangerous.
Science for the credulous I'd call it.
-
Don't quite grasp all that, but there again, I am thick. ::)
Wish I could find that flamin' article about the Finnish ...or was it Norwegian...MP whose story about the secret underground city that was being built, was leaked.
Fascinating and quite scary read.

Have you ever read The Hobbit? eveilgrin:
It strikes me that if a gigantic planet hit us at 600 trillion miles an hour then hiding in a hole would be little use.You wouldn't even hear the bang.

I'm sure I've alraedy told you, but it's not in here, the OFFICIAL Planet X thread. ::)
Planet X....IF it exsists, and is going to do what the 'experts' are predicting it's going to do, does NOT include it hurtling into Earth at 600 trillion MPH, but passing on its orbit close to the Sun, thus creating massive unprecedented devastating eruptions and activity that will in fact slowly boil the earth dry over a period of approx 3 months.
It won't be over quickly, it'll be a slow hot and getting hotter miserable end for all. seas will boil dry, and the whole place will eventually explode into a ball of fire.
There, on that cheery note, I'll go and lie under the sunbed. lol:

So in orther words the same as if Nick was let loose in the kitchen.
The simple truth to all this is that it is academic. There is bugger all we can do if it turns out to be correct ahd Planet X does actually exist.,

So do you want those places in my shelter or not? A bidding war has started

All the governments in the world are aware of this and they just say it is going to happen. For those of the people that can save themselves I can only say reach for higher ground and find caves cloud9: up in the high places where you can have a food storage for at least five years with canned food and water to last for a while. Radiation pills and biosuits are also advisable if your budget allows it.
I'm on me way!
-
Just a thought Growler, could he have been on about the seed bank?
Ey? Bank? They'll have gone bust by now. lol:
Nope, a seedbank stores seeds as a source for planting in case seed reserves elsewhere are destroyed. It is a type of gene bank. The seeds stored may be food crops, or those of rare species to protect biodiversity. The reasons for storing seeds may be varied. In the case of food crops, many useful plants that were developed over centuries are now no longer used for commercial agricultural production and are becoming rare. Storing seeds also guards against catastrophic events like natural disasters, outbreaks of disease, war or Nick.

What total and utter shite!
Do people really believe such crap? (no offence Growler)
My favourite bit:
Danger zones will be the east and west coasts of North America and south and central England. It is for this reason that the UK authorities have allowed such a large-scale influx of immigrants in recent years, most have congregated where there are better employment opportunities – in south and central England.
In essence, individuals in key positions have enabled immigration policies that have quietly encouraged a massive influx of immigrants: so as to pack them into a critical danger zone and thereby effectively sacrifice as many people as possible.

I'm not so sure about no obvious benefit. Look at the media hype about global warming and species of plantlife dying as a result. If it is a seedbank that Norway is building then it would be a hell of a PR stunt on its own. As for expense, its probably not as much as was leaked. to repurpose and extend an old Cold War bunker or underground shelter.

This is essentially correct and is a possiblity, although extremely remote.
I find use of the word 'lure' in this context a bit odd though.

Maybe it could be "lured" in the direction of,say, Brussels, praps with a big magnet.

I'm still puzzled as to why anyone in their right senses would want to book a place in a cellar, below the level of the known spring high tide mark, next to an estuary that regularly floods.

Yea right, but there's probably plenty of other 'monsters' lurking behind the Sun hurtling our way.
You only have to have a look at the moon and see the size of some of those craters to realise that there is 'stuff' out there that can do untold life threatening damage.
They reckon that's what wiped the Dinasours out...a big meteorite or summat, that smashed in to the Earth, blackening the skies for thousands of years, and kicking off the ice age.

good! That's that sorted then.

To hide from Planet X of course. ::) We have a washing machine down there, which might come in handy.
If you set it on the highest heat setting, and DON'T put the water in, could it be used for baking CAKES....you know, in an emergency like?
A dishwasher makes a satisfactory cooker and does the washing up at the same time. I don't think a washing machine would because of the "tumble" action.

One wonders if the screen writers had read 'Childhoods End' by Arthur C. Clarke for the inspiration for the the beginning. Still, no doubt he stole the idea from someone else anyway. The bastard. lol:

Indeed. 'V' ran from 1984-5, Childhoods End was published 1953.

Introduction (excerpt)
The Universe is trying to kill you.
It’s nothing personal. It’s trying to kill me too. It’s trying to kill everybody.
And it doesn’t even have to try very hard.
The Universe is an incredibly hostile place for life. Virtually all of it is a vacuum, so that’s bad right from the start. Of the extremely few places that aren’t hard vacuum, most are too hot for chemical reactions to do very well – molecules get blasted apart before they can even properly form. Of the places that aren’t too hot, most are too cold – reactions happen too slowly to get interesting things to occur in the first place.
And of the very few places that aren’t in vacuum, too hot, or too cold – and we only really know of one: Earth – there are all manners of dangers lurking about. Volcanoes blast megatons of noxious chemicals into the air, spew lava for miles, and cause vast earthquakes. Tsunamis rewrite huge sections of coastlines. Ice ages come and go, mountains pop up and change the global weather system, whole continents get subducted into the glowing rock of the mantle.
And those are just the local problems. Earth still sits in the incredibly hostile environment of space, and all kinds of disasters might befall us from there – literally.
But then, that’s what this whole book is about.
The Universe is a violent place. Stars explode. Stars like the Sun can die in milder events, but die just the same. Whole galaxies collide, igniting fireworks on a cosmic scale. Asteroids impact other planets; could they hit us?
When we launched telescopes into space, we equipped them with cameras that could detect ultraviolet light, X-rays, super high-energy gamma rays. We saw a Universe that seemed actively trying to destroy us. Exploding stars are phenomenally dangerous, blasting out vast amounts of killing force and energy. Black holes are everywhere, lurking throughout the galaxy, devouring anything that wanders too close. Flashes of high-energy light from distant points in the Universe whisper of powers terrible and gross, enough to fry entire solar systems that get in the way.
The Earth seemed to be the center of the Universe for much of mankind’s history. Now, however, the Earth seems fragile and impossibly small, a remote speck of dust lost in a Universe of frightening size and age.
In reality, the Universe cares not at all if we live or die. If a human were magically transported to any random spot in the cosmos, within seconds we’d die 99.999999999999999% of the time. At best.
Yet, despite all that (and quite a bit more still unsaid), here we are. Billions of years in, countless times around the Sun, sitting at the crosshairs of dozens of cosmic weapons… our planet endures. Life not only survives, it thrives. Numerous setbacks have occurred, for sure, but life itself continues on. As small and fragile and soft as humans are, we’ve managed so far.
Of course, we haven’t yet seen everything the Universe can unleash on us. A single asteroid impact could take out half of humanity without even breaking a sweat. A solar flare could wipe out our economy in seconds. And a nearby gamma-ray burst… well, that’s bad too. Very bad.
I love astronomy. I’ve devoted my entire life to it, to telling others about it, to writing about it. Astronomy is awe inspiring, it’s beautiful, it provides philosophical perspective and holds the secret answers to so many of our most profound questions.
And I have no doubt whatsoever that astronomical events can kill us. In some cases, our study of astronomy can actually save us. In other cases it provides us with information about what might kill us, though unfortunately without giving us any ideas of how to stop it.
And in many of those cases, there isn’t much we could do anyway.
In this book, I won’t hold back. The reality of a nearby gamma-ray burst puts the sweatiest fundamentalist religion’s Armageddon prose to shame, dwarfing it to mundanity. I will go over, in loving detail, the Earth’s atmosphere ripped away, the oceans boiled, and all life sterilized down to the base of the crust.
But during all that, I will remind you that there is no star nearby capable of creating such a burst; and even if there were, the odds of it going off any time soon are tiny; and even if it did, the odds of it being aimed our way are tinier yet.
But it’s still fun to think about “What if…?”
While you’re reading this book, you may feel like you’re watching a horror movie at the theater: it’s fun, jolting, and maybe even terrifying. During the scary parts you may want to turn away, or hide your eyes, or spill your popcorn, but I’ll make sure the actual facts of the case are there to calm you down a bit after.
Of course (he says, chuckling low and with evil intent), there is a big difference: eventually the movie is over, you leave the theater, and laugh at the scary ride.
You can’t do that in the real world. There are dangers out there, and we can’t avert our eyes from them. But as you read this book (hopefully with your eyes open) you’ll learn just what the dangers are, and more importantly what they aren’t.
What horror movie is still scary once the lights are on?
And you always have to keep in mind that we’re still here. The Universe is a dangerous place, but again, we’ve gotten this far. We may just make it a while longer.
Or we may not. I have to be honest. The Universe is vast beyond imagining, and wields mighty forces. For nearly all the events depicted here, it’s not a matter of if, it’s a matter of when.

I preferred GrumpyOldSoldier's explanation
Talking about the moon.
Scientists have shown that the moon is moving away at a tiny yet measurable distance from the earth every year. If you do the maths, you can calculate that 85 million years ago the moon was orbiting the earth at a distance of about 35 feet from the earth's surface. This would explain the death of the dinosaurs. The tallest ones, anyway.
I thought I would share that with you, we are never to old to learn.
