so if and this is a big if planet 9 is discovered to be real can we all agree that it will be named nibiru ? it just seems like such a fitting and perfect name for the hypothetical planet

kek that would definitely trigger those conspiracy theorists if there are any who still think its supposed to crash into Earth.

There is a 9th planet. It has a larger(calculated) mass than pluto and thats part of the reason pluto was demoted. Naming it Nibiru would be a misnomer because the place all these conspiracy nuts get that name is from Sumerian cuneiform writing. The Sumerians were, somehow, aware of the ninth planet you are talking about but that is not the planet that they referred to as Nibiru. The planet they called “Nibiru” was on a highly eliptical orbit and supposedly passed between the orbits of Earth and Mars every 3600 years or so. Note that i do not believe any of this is true, im telling you where the Nibiru origin story comes from and why the 9th planet is not what the conspiracy theorists are referring to. One thing that does strike me as odd though is that the Sumerians had knowledge of planets that are hardly visible even through the use of a telescope. If there is any truth to the Nibiru story it’s likely not a planet at all and more likely was a planet sized mothership belonging to some visiting Ayyyyy lmaos, who decided to come down and blow the minds of some stupid monkey people while getting some slave labor out of it before they decided to peace the fuck out of the solar system forever. It makes a hell of a lot more sense than any story in the Bible.

damn so the name nibiru won't be a fitting name still a cool name though but if not that what should we call it ?

NO! Don't feed the conspiracy nuts!
Pluto's big moon SHOULD have been named Proserpina for Pluto's wife.
Since they missed out there, the name is still available for a 9th planet.
Assuming it's decided that it is a planet. Even if it turns out to be the size of, say, Neptune, it probably won't have "cleared out its orbit", so the stupid definition may disqualify it.

If its discovered to be true, were they really conspiracy nuts?
Josiah Miller
yes

Enough with the greek names please.
It's not the 1950's anymore and I hate this euro-centring naming tradition.
Why not look for interesting names from the Asian or African mythology instead?
Or maybe even, *gasp*, drop the mythology and use modern names that resonate with all of us today?
