Free sample essay on Nibiru Planet:
A lot has been said about the Nibiru Planet and its association with end of the world myths. Since there are so many theories going around about what this Nibiru planet is, many people have been misled to believe that it is the humongous planet that will one day bring life on earth to a disastrous end. So what exactly is the Nibiru Planet? Nibiru is a word that was derived from Zecharia Sitchin’s ancient astronaut works.
Doomsday believers believe that the world will end when a planet-size object from space will crash and destroy the earth. This idea was first propagated by Nancy Lieder, a self professed alien contactee. She said that she had been sent to warn humans of the impeding destruction by a gigantic Planet X, which many of her followers said was Nibiru. However there is no evidence that such a planet will come crashing on earths surface, or even that it exists.
The idea that a planet sized extraterrestrial object will crash onto earth is one thing that has not been proven scientifically.
When Nibiru theorists say that the planet is very close to the earth, it cannot be true since all planets that are close to earth are normally visible through the naked eye, or by use of a telescope. To counter this, the believers of Nibiru collision say that the planet has been hiding behind the sun waiting to fall on earth.
However, this cannot be true because it would be difficult not to see the planet when the earth is orbiting around the sun. It is clear then that the Nibiru planet collision is just a myth that does not exist.
