Questions & Answers

Q: What is the basis for the claim that Nibiru, a rogue planet, will collide with Earth in 2012?

The claim about Nibiru is unfounded as there is no scientific evidence for its existence. The idea of this collision is a hoax perpetuated by misinformation.

Q: Are there any factual grounds for the theory that Earth's alignment with the galactic plane will lead to global catastrophes in 2012?

Earth's position relative to the galactic plane has no significant effect on our planet. The alignment with the galactic center is a natural, non-threatening occurrence.

Q: How does Earth's magnetic field reversal play into the 2012 doomsday predictions?

While magnetic field reversals do occur, they are gradual processes with no immediate catastrophic effects. These reversals have happened throughout Earth's history without leading to mass extinctions.

Q: How did NASA respond to the 2012 doomsday claims?

NASA categorically dismissed the 2012 doomsday predictions as hoaxes aimed at instilling fear and misinformation. Scientific evidence debunks all the apocalypse scenarios associated with that date.
