I'd like to share some conspiracy theories about the end of the world and spark some discussion. Most of these scenarios are borrowed from Exit Mundi.
Here's the first:
They say it triggers earthquakes. That it rips open volcanoes, and unleashes massive tsunamis. They say it can kick the Earth’s axis over, pushing Africa to the pole and Antarctica to the equator. It may even stop our planet from rotating! Or worse: peel the Earth’s crust off, tear our planet to bits. Or perhaps it simply sweeps our world aside, pushing it into the Sun. That’s the way it goes when suddenly, a HUGE planet zooms by. They say.
The demon planet that is supposed to do the trick goes by many names. Some call it Nibiru, or Marduk. Others named it The Ottawa Object, or Vulcan, or Transpluto. But most people prefer X, just X. `Planet X’, to be precise.
Planet X is the supposedly eleventh planet of our solar system. It should be as big as many Earths, dwarfing it perhaps even hundreds of times. Some people think X isn’t even a real planet, but a `brown dwarf’: a massive ball of dust and gas that almost succeeded in becoming a star. Planet X has something no other planet has: a huge orbit. Its orbit around the Sun lasts 3,600 years. Most of the time, it is far off, invisible to the eye. But every 3,600 years, the lost planet returns. Once here, it accelerates, and swings close past the Sun, disrupting everything it encounters.
And that’s exactly what Planet X is about to do, they say. Right now, it should be somewhere in the outer regions of the solar system, still invisible to our telescopes. But in the spring of 2003, it will suddenly make its appearance. It will be some event. Within months, Planet X will reach the inner regions of the solar system, disturbing the eclipses of the planets and bombarding us with comets. In May, it will pass Earth, missing it only at a few hairs’ lengths. Or, well: hitting us at full force, perhaps.
And that will be it. X will fly off again, not to be seen for another 3,600 years. And our planet? Earth will be bruised and battered, and covered in lava. If there’s anything worth calling a planet left at all, that is.

that sounds like a pretty dodgy conspiracy, especially if it's every 3,600 years, there's no record of it in any history book I've ever read, and somehow I think the destruction of the earth would have been mentioned.
Also, it was supposed to happen in 2003, it's 2005 now :P

You know how dates are with these end of the world events. I pulled that out of an old article, so there you go. Here's the evidence:
Then again, maybe nothing happens at all in 2003. You see, Planet X is like the perfect myth: the outcome of centuries of ill-omened rumors, laced with snippets of history and cosmology.
It all began with a tablet of clay, uncovered in the Near East many years ago. On the tablet, the Sumerians, the earliest known inhabitants of the Middle East, jotted down something that looked like a solar system. Earth was there, and Saturn, and Jupiter -- as well as all other planets we know of today. But hey, aren’t there supposed to be nine planets? The clay tablet clearly displays eleven. The tenth one could be the moon, or the newly discovered mini-planet Sedna. But that still leaves you with one planet too many. Weird, isn’t it?
Next came the astronomers. From the 1840s until deep into the 1980s, astronomy was haunted by a strange mystery. Something was not right with the orbits of the outer planets. Something really heavy seemed to be tugging at the outer planets Uranus and Neptune. Certain asteroids felt the mysterious pull, too. Must be an enormous planet out there, many astronomers assumed. Or several planets, even. This was how Planet X got its name: the term `X’ comes from the early-twentieth century astronomer Percival Lowell, best known for his study of the `canals’ on Mars.

"jotted down something that looked like a solar system. Earth was there, and Saturn, and Jupiter -- as well as all other planets we know of today"
People also thought the world was flat, the earth was the center of the universe, we were balanced on the backs of elephants. Under what reasoning should these people be right? Maybe the mystery two planets, well, one could have been the moon, and probably was, another one could have been a comet, or a meteor.
Which leads to another point, Most of the planets aren't visable to the naked eyes, so how could these people have seen Pluto? Or Mercury?

There were primitive telescopes.
I'm just playing devil's advocate, I don't believe in this.

I'm not saying you do. I'm just saying how it can't be true :P

I live those websites where they show lensflares to be evidence of planet X :lol:

I've never even heard of planet x before this.

Never heard of planet X? Didn't you watch looney tunes?
Re: The End of the World - Planet X
BenDaMan - 04.06.2005, 17:38
I find it hard to remember things from when I was 5
The only looney tunes I still watch is Road Runner.

We are not limited to Earthbound telescopes. This is the twentyfirst century; our robotic spacecraft have crisscrossed our system on their way to other planets, the Voyager crafts have actually left the Sol system and have been looking at it in their rear mirror, and there simply is no "planet x".
