"Any astronomer would love to discover that the sun is part of a binary system or discover more large mass planets, but that hasn't happened yet.
For people to make asumptions about Nibiru closing in for an encounter in 2012 is a huge leap of faith as there is no scientific evidence to support
it."
-------------------------------------------------
Kind of like assigning arbitrary masses and velocities on a supposed object that the OP doesn't even believe exists??
I'm not a Nibiru believer but there is so many things wrong with this thread that I'm surprised that the Author has such a good rep around here.

"A post in another recent thread about a nearby (10 light years) BROWN DWARF star prompted me to have a think about an approximate location of
Nibiru, it's only 989 days away till the infamous date of December 21st 2012." - CWickus
- According to Wikipedia a brown dwarf star falls in the range of 15 - 60 Jupiter masses with the same radius. So if you're implying that Nibiru is
the "Brown Dwarf" and not part of a planetary system orbiting said dwarf then your estimate of 4 Earth's/1 Neptune (which you fail to specify if
that is radius or mass) is way way way off.
"Neptune travels at about 5.43kms per second, which calculates to 19,548kms per hour or 469,152kms per day.
Now we have two figures." - CWickus
- Yah, two figures that are about as relevant as me saying "I weigh 275 lbs therefore plugging in the speed of any other 275 lb man will determine
how long it takes me to get to my corner store". Outright BS
Insomniac is right that astronomers would love to find we live in a binary system but in order to redefine our current solar paradigm (or box) we need
to have adventurous individuals prepared to be mocked by the mainstream. So I thank chadwickus and people of his ilk, through their vigorous defense
of the box they provide the stability needed for brave curious people to step outside and define a new box for them to soon defend.
