By that time, the planet may well be dead anyway because the magnetic dynamo in Earth's core that generates a protective magnetic field to shield us from the fatal radiation of space may given out, leaving us as dead and desolate-looking as Mars. That end times scenario is also likely eons into the future, though. What about more near term threats we hear about, like climate change?

That apocalyptic scenario also doesn't play out over the course of just a few weeks or months as the Nibiru predictions do. It would probably be a slow die-off that would take thousands and thousands of years, perhaps giving rise to new dominant species. Humans are currently setup to be the species most likely to be able to adapt to these changes, although an ecological collapse could certainly lead to famine, food and water shortages, violent conflicts and plenty of other human suffering and nastiness.

These are the real nearer-term problems that we can and should work to prevent right now, rather than worrying about the apocalypse, be it the one that won't happen Saturday or the slow end of days that's already happening.

Nibiru does sound suspiciously similar to the informally named Planet 9, a theorized planet announced last year , which may orbit the sun at 20 times the distance of Neptune and, like Nibiru, have 10 times the mass of Earth.

The possible existence of the planet was based on a well-conducted study showing that only the gravitational influence of a world with that mass and orbit could account for the behavior of a cluster of smaller bodies in the solar system known as Kuiper Belt Objects.

Giving more explicit voice to the warnings of a Saturday checkout time for all of us is conspiracy fabulist David Meade, whose YouTube video making his end-is-nigh case has amassed 3.

His reasoning, such as it is, has something to do with the Bible, something to do with the number 33 and something to do with the pyramids in Giza, Egypt, because…why not? All these rock-solid sources notwithstanding, you can probably feel safe keeping your Saturday plans. For starters, consider the size of the fanciful Nibiru. If a bit of protoplanetary gravel like Pluto could be discovered by an amateur astronomer in using the limited technology of the time, a marauding beast like Nibiru would have been spotted by telescopic eyes all over the planet — not to mention orbiting above it — long ago.
