I'm gob-smacked that this Nibiru business MIGHT turn out to be true!!!
...Can we just taken as given that I make some comment along the lines of "I'd be gob-smacked at stuff, too, if..."

Well I've heard that the planet is meant to be as big as Jupiter, if not bigger. Jupiter dominates it's neighborhood with it's immense gravity. If a body anywhere near that size came close to Earth even once (and it probably would many times in billions of years of planetary orbits) it would have tugged Earth off it's orbit. A system with a planet such as Nibiru would likely have no inner planets.
Old Master Sitchin suggests it's four to five times bigger than Jupiter. Bigger. Than Jupiter.

There isn't really anything wrong with being a believer, it's just Nibiru as it's described does not and can not exist. I mean, reptiles mining earth for gold dust for their atmosphere? Gold is one of the heaviest naturally occuring elements, how is it meant to stay up there?
Let's get our, uhh.... "facts" straight here. If we're talking about Nibiru, then we're specifically talking about the abode of the Monkey-Raping gods the Annunaki. Sitchin never suggests they're reptiles. They live on a magic planet, free of the (literally, in their case) crushing physical constraints of gravity or the need for heat (and consequently, of water, air or food) that travels around the universe? galaxy? solar system? on its own, ignoring the delicate balance of the other celestial bodies in its wake. Every 36,000 years.
Cradle is quite right, though, that these people did come specifically to Earth to mine our gold. To save their atmosphere, which -- contrary to everything we know about physics -- didn't freeze out in the cold wastes of intra/inter/galactic/universal space. And the gold is going to be in a magic dust form that never sinks and this (with no further elucidation from Sitchin) is going to save their planet.
Nope, that all sounds completely reasonable to me. Magic, super-humans, all from a trained economist.
