nibiru is purportedly the size of jupiter, and has such an eliptical (strange) orbit that
it enters our solar system once every 3600? years.........
The fictional planet called 멞ibiru?was proposed by a self-taught scholar of Sumerian
cuneiform named Zecharia Sitchin. In the book The Twelfth Planet (1976) Sitchin used an
image from a particular Sumerian seal, along with his own translation of Sumerian
cuneiform, to argue that the Sumerians knew of 12 planets in the solar system, that the
12th planet is Nibiru, that it orbits the sun once every 3,600 years, that beings (that
the Sumerians called 멺ods? live on it, that these beings arrived on Earth some 450,000
years ago, that they created humans by genetic engineering of female apes, and that
basically we were their slaves, digging up their gold for them.
1) We started out with a solar system just like the one we have now, but the Earth and
Moon are missing and there was a planet between Jupiter and Mars.
2) The planet Marduk arrived from outer space and passed near to Neptune. Marduk is a
retrograde planet, orbiting in the opposite direction of all the others. Neptune's gravity
bent its orbit so that it plunged down into the solar system (still against the grain,
retrograde). At the same time, Neptune's gravity pulled a bulge in the side of Marduk
(which was still plastic at this stage, it had just been formed).
3) The planet Marduk passed Uranus, where the bulge ripped open and several moons were
pulled out of Marduk to orbit it. It's path was bent even more inward. As it pulled on
Gaga, a moon of Saturn, Gaga was pulled loose and eventually became Pluto in its present
day orbit.
4) Marduk approached Tiamat (the planet where the asteroid belt is now) and its gravity
began to tear away bits of Tiamat.
5) Marduk missed hitting Tiamat, but its orbiting satellites delivered a mighty blow. They
also exchanged lightening in the form of static electricity. Tiamat was cracked, but still
together.
6) Marduk sailed out into deep space again, past Neptune.
7) When it came around again, Marduk smashed Tiamat all to hell. Half of Tiamat was
destroyed and became the asteroid belt, the other half was hit sideways by one of Marduk's
orbiting moons, knocked into the orbit of Earth and became the Earth. Kingu, one of
Tiamat's satellites, went along with the broken half and became the Moon.
8) Marduk continues in this orbit today, swinging out past Neptune and back into the
Asteroid belt in a retrograde orbit that takes 3,600 years to complete.
nibiru hoax busted:
Niburu's impossible orbit
Nibiru's proposed orbit would be highly elliptical. So highly elliptical that it is for
all intents and purposes a straight line, out and back. We know this because a simple
mathematical relationship exists between the period and the length of the semi-major axis
of the ellipse.7
Kepler's Laws
German mathematician and astronomer Johannes Kepler (1571?630) discovered three laws of
planetary motion. They are:
"The orbit of every planet is an ellipse with the sun at a focus."
"A line joining a planet and the sun sweeps out equal areas during equal intervals of
time."
"The square of the orbital period of a planet is directly proportional to the cube of
the semi-major axis of its orbit."
Kepler's Laws applied to Nibiru
Since all planets orbit in ellipses with the Sun at one focus, Nibiru must go around
the Sun, not just through the orbital paths of the planets.8
All planets sweep out equal areas in equal time intervals, so Nibiru must move very
slowly at it's aphelion, or furthest point from the Sun, and very fast at it's perihelion,
or closest point.9
The square of the orbital period of a planet is directly proportional to the cube of
the semi-major axis of its orbit. Since Nibiru's period is specified as 3,600 years, we
can use Kepler's third law to determine something about its orbit.
In other words, given a 3,600 year orbit that brings it to within 1 AU of the sun (the
area of Earth's orbit) the far end of the orbit must be 469 AU out from the sun.
Just as a comparison point, Pluto is on average about 39.5 AU away from the Sun. It's year
is about 248 earth years long. If we plug 248 into equation (2) above, we get 39.47 AU. We
can see that the formula works.
Pluto's orbit is considered "highly elliptical". But it's not nearly as elliptical as the
orbit proposed for Nibiru. Dr. Douglas Hamilton's 2D Orbital Elements calculator (after
some trial and error) produces an orbit with an eccentricity of 0.995744. This produces an
orbit with an approximate Perihelion distance of 1 AU, and a semi-major axis of 235. This
is extremely eccentric.
Nibiru's impossible orbit
At nearly 470 AU, the gravity of the sun is negligible, almost non-existent. So as a
result, Nibiru must be traveling close to the Sun's escape velocity when it comes within 1
AU of it. At a distance of 1 AU, the Sun's escape velocity is about 42km/s, so this is the
speed at which Nibiru should be traveling (or a hair under it) in 2012. In comparison, the
Earth's orbital velocity is a bit under 30km/s, Venus' is about 35km/s and Mercury's is
47.8. Nibiru would be whipping around the Sun nearly as quickly as Mercury.
Unstable Orbit
The orbit described above would be highly unstable. A highly elliptical orbit is unstable
because it will suffer drastically from the slightest perturbation - Jupiter's gravity
would probably be enough to send Nibiru spiraling off to who knows where. Pluto's orbit is
stabilized by Neptune, as Pluto is locked into a 2:3 orbital resonance with Neptune. The
maths behind multiple body problems are nightmarish to sort out because they have no
closed solutions (the objects all affect each other to such a degree that the orbits
gradually precess), so professional astronomers use computers to perform these
calculations. But you should understand this: As much as the fictional Nibiru would pull
on other planets, those planets would also pull on Nibiru. With a long, thin ellipse as
described, even the slightest nudge from the gravity of another object, even if that
object is considerably smaller than Nibiru, would have a dramatic effect on Nibiru's orbit.
