This seems wholly random, but given all the recent hype over the NASA "announcement" (it was a supernova), I think the timing is interesting in releasing this.

This is a paper, drafted by someone in NASA, which basically says that a Planet X would be impossible as its orbit would be inherently unstable. Does that mean it would drift off into space or into the sun? Don't know, but there's no way Nibiru would be hidden for thousands of years. In fact, it's orbit would decay after 150 years.


Unfortunately for
our would-be invaders, the L3 point is a weak saddle point ... The real, positive eigenvalue spells disaster for Planet X. Its orbit is expo-
nentially unstable, with an e-folding time of roughly  = 150 years.


Well, this seems to nail the coffin shut on the wild Planet X theories out there...
