Nibiru
Hi Geoffrey,
I wasn't going to reply because this topic has been done to death here and elsewhere but ... A lot has been said by others in this thread and the several other threads on this subject so I won't try and re-cap them all or re-hash all the very simple, straight-forward proofs that this supposed object only exists in fantasy except to add one more proof ...
Nibiru is supposed to be in an orbit 4000 yrs long and from that we know it would be travelling at a lot less than escape velocity from our Sun's gravitational pull.
That being so and considering it passage through the inner solar-system (ie our vicintity) is only 3 and a bit years away, it could not currently be further away from the Sun than about Saturn. That being so, given the size etc etc, it would currently be shining in our skies at somewhere between mag +1 and -1 -- ie one of the brightest stars in the night sky and easy naked eye (even assuming a low albiedo).
NASA couldn't keep that quiet -- it is impossible. Hundreds of amateur astronomers around the globe would be "discovering" it every night. Plus, objects of this sort are both (at that sort of range) infrared and radio bright. Probably brighter in these wavelengths than Jupiter. The fact that it is not visible naked eye now and not detectable at these other wavelengths is proof it does not exist.
Simple.
Best,
Les D
