On his web page, “Ask an Astrobiologist,” local NASA scientist David Morrison has received more than 5,000 questions about the supposed end of the world tomorrow.
Most of them have to do with the notion that a planet called Nibiru, hidden behind the sun, will come crashing into earth when the Mayan calender ends.
Morrison says the scenario is simply impossible.
“There are at least 10,000 professional astronomers, and 100,000 amateur astronomers that could easily see it,” Morrison says in a YouTube video posted on the NASA website. “If it were real they’d have been tracking it for many years. There is no evidence for its existence.”
“Some people actually sent me coordinates,” for the planet which led nowhere, Morrison says.
Morrison says you wouldn’t need a telescope to see a planet approaching the earth either. It would be too large in the sky to miss.
“People seem to want for there to be a cataclysm — well, there isn’t going to be one,” he says. “Don’t worry about it, have a good 2013.”

If the world really was going to end tomorrow, do you think a government employee would really tell the truth? Think of the panic that would cause. He’s just buying time to let the top secret rocket with all the world’s leaders (or all the world’s billionaires) get away safely. This story has been told in the movies over and over again.
i believe this scientist David Morrison cause if it was true the only person in the universe god well known and tell us no one else its just some people believes the Mayan calendar.
Some people seem to think the government is a hive mind. They are far too incompetant to ever keep the apocalypse a secret.
> They are far too incompetant to ever keep the apocalypse a secret.
Perhaps, but something was damn good at keeping the Kennedy assassination a secret.
Here’s the reality of this stupid Mayan myth meme. The Mayan king in AD 696 visited allies after having lost a key battle, and, in trying to reassure them of his durability, associated his reign with the extreme length of the Mayan calendar. In saying that the world would end on 12/21/12, he was really just saying that his current reign was no more likely to end than was the world at the end of the Mayan calendar cycle.
There you have it; that’s the first time I’ve gotten to the bottom of it, and I hope everyone spreads the truth so that all those inclined to worry, worry not.
