Will the world end on Sunday? Conspiracy theorists claim mysterious planet Nibiru will trigger apocalyptic earthquakes
- Nibiru or 'Planet X' was supposed to collide with Earth on September 23
- The prediction drew enough media attention that Nasa was forced to refute it
- Now conspiracy theorists are claiming Nibiru will destroy Earth on November 19
- They say it will bring a deadly series of earthquakes that will obliterate our planet
- In response to the rumours, a top Nasa scientist has said the planet can't exist
- If it did, its its gravitational forces would have already stripped Earth of its moon
Nibiru was meant to destroy Earth on September 23 after a Christian numerologist claimed it was about to collide with our planet.
After the prediction flopped, some have claimed Nibiru will instead trigger apocalyptic earthquakes on November 19 that will obliterate our planet.
In response to the rumours, a top Nasa scientist has said the planet can't exist because its gravitational forces would have already stripped Earth of its moon.

Will the world end on Sunday? Conspiracy theorists claim mysterious planet Nibiru will trigger apocalyptic earthquakes
Dr
David Morrison, an astronomer at Nasa Ames Research Centre, said if the
system made it into the inner solar system, it would disrupt the
position of the all planets, and 'eject the moon from Earth's orbit.'
So-called
Nibiru truthers claim Nasa is part of a conspiracy to 'hide the truth'
from the general population while the 'global elite' escape to the
safety of secret underground bunkers.
Nibiru,
sometimes referred to as Planet X, is a hypothesised planet on the edge
of the solar system that orbits the sun every 3,600 years.
Conspiracy
theorists believe the gravitational influence of Nibiru disrupted the
orbits of other planets in the solar system hundreds of years ago as the
object ringed the sun.
They
claim the next disruptive passage could happen at any time, with the
planet predicted to either collide directly with Earth or trigger
apocalyptic weather patterns across its surface.
Dr Morrison's comments were made during a podcast released by the Search for Extraterrestrial Life Institute (SETI) website.
It was part of the 'Big Picture Science Radio Show', which broadcast an episode called 'Skeptic Check: Nibiru! (Again!)
