Nibiru's Existence Challenged - Page 2

If you noticed during the video, there was a brief scene showing what the orbit of Nibiru looked like. This actually is not a very accurate representation of what Nibiru's orbit really looks like. Using a computer program to plot what Nibiru's orbit actually would look like, you can see how it's orbit would extend far beyond Pluto. The orbital trajectory was found using the basic laws of gravity. Because a few variables such as the 3600 year orbit and closest point of approach to the Sun (assumed to be Earth or Mars) of Nibiru are "known" , it's orbital trajectory may be found. Orbital trajectories such as shown in the computer generated plot do actually exist, however you are much more likely to find an orbit like this around a super massive black hole as opposed to a star the size of our Sun.

The main problem with an orbit like Nibiru's is that it is highly unstable. The current cut off for stable planetary orbits is an eccentricity of about 0.7 - where 0 is a perfect circular and 1 is a straight line. The higher the eccentricity, the more oval-like the orbit becomes. With 0.7 in mind, the orbit of Nibiru above has an eccentricity of about 0.98. The reason behind instability is that high eccentricity orbits experience perturbations from large gravitational bodies, changing the orbital path, and sometimes even removing it from the orbital system entirely. With the gas giants in our solar system, it is highly unlikely that Nibiru's orbital time period of 3600 years is constant. Jupiter changed Hale Bop's (comet) orbital period by thousands of years when it made a close approach to Jupiter two decades ago.

The planetary orbits in our solar system also tell us that the existence of Nibiru is unlikely. Many planets in our solar system have very stable, circular orbits. This likely would not be the case if a large gravitational mass such as Nibiru made a regular pass through our solar system every 3600 years disrupting our stable, circular orbits. Even though 3600 years may seem like a long time, it takes millions of years for planets to settle down into stable circular orbits such as those found in our own solar system, and only one close encounter to a large gravitational body to disrupt it.
