There’s a theory that the world’s going to end on September 23…
The number 33 and a woman giving birth in front of some lizards both feature.
Get your eye-rolls ready, apparently some believe the apocalypse is coming – again.
The theory goes that a planet called Nibiru, or “Planet X”, will collide into Earth this Saturday. Fun.
It’s a belief which is getting some serious traction online, and a bloke called David Meade, who happens to have written a book called Planet X – The 2017 Arrival, appears to be the main source.
Despite scientists claiming the planet doesn’t exist, Meade has said the total solar eclipse which plunged the US into darkness on August 21 indicates Nibiru’s arrival. Doomsday is predicted to occur 33 days later – and that number, he suggested, is the key.
“The eclipse will start in Lincoln Beach, Oregon – the 33rd state – and end on the 33rd degree of Charleston, South Carolina.
“Such a solar eclipse has not occurred since 1918, which is 99 years – or 33 times three.”
“The fact is that my friends and I are seeing Nibiru with our own naked eyes,” Ovadia told the paper. “It is there, no doubt, and it is getting closer.”
Nasa, though, debunked the Planet X theory back in 2012. It said “Nibiru and other stories about wayward planets are an internet hoax” and have “no factual basis”.
Meanwhile, Unsealed, a website specialising in the second coming of Jesus Christ, claims there will be a sign for the rapture on Saturday – even creating a viral video.
If you’re feeling worried by any of this, just remember, the world was supposed to end in 2012 too. And 2011. And 2010. And 2007.
This could go on…
