NASA senior scientist David Morrison debunked an apocalyptic claim that a planet called Nibiru is on a collision course with Earth. When Sept. 23 passed with no omens or calamities, Meade revised his very numerologically significant date to Oct. 15, which also came and went uneventfully. You might think two consecutive misfires would quash the Nibiru theory. “November 19th will see earthquake Armageddon across huge swaths of the planet,” the Daily Express wrote in representative tones. But like every other Nibiru doomsday theory (which go back to 2003, as Kristine Phillips wrote for The Post) it’s based on an analysis of pure fantasy.
