Apparently, if it exists, we missed it because it is so far away: http://www.independent.co.uk/news/science/up-telescope-search-begins-for-giant-new-planet-2213119.html

Sounds like if it's real, it'll be way further out than Eris.

Okay, I had to look up Nibiru. Um, wow. The "possible" planet in the original link I posted is a real matter that is being studied. The scientists have already said they don't know yet. No doomsday prophecy here.

lol...Pluto gets no love in the Star Trek novels either. I just read a book where a couple of admirals were annoyed that Pluto's category had changed from non-planet to planet again for the 10th time in several hundred years. lol

Then later in the story, a giant Borg cube ate the entire planet. lol. Pluto no longer-exists in the Star Trek universe.

This makes no sense to me. We have the Hubble Space Telescope which has been in orbit for over 20 years and has a range of thousands of light years and we're just now discovering shit on the edge of our own solar system? What the hell are they doing with the HST, watching porn?

Sounds liek more 2012/Planet X conspiracy theory crap.

We are still making discoveries on our own planet, so why is it farfetched to think something millions of miles away may have gone undiscovered? It's just a theory at this point anyway. No one said anything about doom and prophecy.

i do not think this idea rises to the level of theory yet, i am almost certain it is only a Hypothesis not a Theory.

You are correct. Thanks for pointing that out.
