Its The End Of The World As We Know It Again
Please stop annoying this NASA scientist with your ridiculous Planet X doomsday theories
“David Morrison is a real NASA scientist who studies real planets and makes real discoveries about the real universe. Unfortunately for him, Morrison’s duties also include debunking perennial Internet theories that a fake planet is about to destroy the Earth, which was supposed to happen in 2003, then 2012, then Sept. 23, then October – and now the world is supposed to end again some time Sunday. And the astronomer sounds like he’s just about had it. “You’re asking me for a logical explanation of a totally illogical idea,” Morrison said on this week’s SETI Institute podcast, after the hosts asked for his take on third scheduled apocalypse in three months. “There is no such planet, there never has been, and presumably there never will be – but it keeps popping up over and over.”
Keith’s note: Please let me know on Monday if the world ends on Sunday so I can update this post.
Who ever is promoting this end of the world thing is doing a poor job of it because I haven’t heard about it.
I’m still checking. We’re here, right?
Keith Cowing, Ace Reporter! 🙂
The only things worse than this goofy, time-wasting nonsense are the complete oxygen thieves who flood nearly every space website and comments section with idiocy demanding that we hear the ‘truth’ about how Space itself isn’t even real, satellites are a myth and that everyone who follows space events are part of an evil, secret society trying to cram their ‘retarded’ belief system on the sheeple masses.
The ‘wake up and open your eyes, fools’ epithet is morphing into attack talk and hate speak before our weary eyes… :'(
It’s 6:30am pst on Sunday November 19 2017 I still alive nothing happen at all. So what I think about the latest Prediction that Nibiru or planet X is support to collide with the Earth on November 19 2017 it did not happen! So the person that made Prediction Nirbu collide with the Earth is a Big lier and is dead wrong.
Thanks. But I need to get more reports before I can conclude that the world did not end though 😉
Or the Earth was, in fact, destroyed last night. It’s just that it was instantly replaced by an exact duplicate. This theory is every bit as credible and supported by data as the earlier statements about Nirbu.
You mean the Matrix just did a quick reboot 🙂
And I thought I was stealing a line from an old Steven Wright monologue and another bit from _The_Hitchiker’s_Guide_to_the_Galaxy_. I guess that’s a very old joke.
Steven wright! Thanks for the reminder— what an excellent comic and actor.
YouTube has many of his acts:

I do worry that we sometimes give these people easy opportunities. Today’s Astronomy Picture of the Day (Nov. 20, 2017) may be a good example. It’s a selfie taken by the Mars Curiosity rover. (Actually, it’s a repost of one taken in 2015, but that’s a detail.) It looks fine, except for one thing. It’s a mosaic of several images, and the parts showing the robotic arm holding the camera ended up on the cutting room floor. It looks like someone (or something) else must holding the camera. Or that the whole thing is a fake. And if you say several images were merged in Photoshop, you’re likely to have someone say, “You admit you produced the image in Photoshop! I knew it was fake!” I hope that doesn’t happen, but maybe the project would have been better off releasing a less-esthetic image with the arm visible (even if it was blocking the view of part of the rover.)
