They will never tell you the truth. You have to find out for yourself.

Nemesis, Dethstar, Carona
The end is near.

Question; if the nemesis star and our sun orbit around one another and this causes a wobble in the orbit of our sun as depicted in the animation, then wouldn't it be easy to calculate the position of nemesis based on the wobble?

Bobby knocks terrariums off the table. Great extinction.

And the time is closer then you think.

Its totally mind bending and faith shattering to realize just how fragile and temporary life on earth actually is and then think about the endless evil we've inflicted upon each other for thousands of years and probably longer, constantly demonizing each other for things beyond our control, realities beyond reach.

I see and feel the pulsating effect of this daily.

[kitcloudkicker]

This video is 10 years late. We live in a binary system.

It's 2020

and Nemesis be thinking how to return like a boss

[algonquinbear]

I was under the impression gravity was an attractive "force" not repulsive. he neglected to explain why the gravity wouldn't attract these asteroids to it, and drag them off with it!

[robertevans]

The Planet Nibiru, which is in our skies right now, orbits Nemesis, it is planet 6.

Richard Muller - Bill Cosby called, he wants his sweater back.

[URCompliant]

With a video title like this, you might start a new religion!

[spooksi]

so you’re telling me that another sun passes right through our solar system, and doesn’t burn us to death?

[reneegordon]

Tf they tryna warn us about something?

[kenmcclellan]

If everyone would buy an infrared filter and held it up to the sky, we could track it! The ancients thought we are entering the Day of Unmasking, which will show us the hidden stars and planets that have been here since 2010.

[nobody]

our twin star is on a 3600 year orbit not 26 million years …. and it’s returning, it’s already like 50 AU away and starting to cause as we call it climate change to earth .

[GrantWingate-ps]

Talking about this at a university lecture got me followed home 😂

Not joking

[Imrankhan-djcl]

Nemesis or Nibiru or Marduk or The Destroyer or Planet 9 these all different name of the same

[psychicrenegade]

The sun's binary companion star is literally a DARK star. It can only be seen in the infrared spectrum. That's why we haven't been able to find it thus far. Maybe the WISE survey will be the first to (finally) see our dark star!
