There's not enough mass in the asteroid belt to make a planet. A planetoid of Pluto's size or smaller, perhaps, but no true planet.

A "brown dwarf" is a star... something we would easily see with the naked eye even when it was 4 or 5 light years away. It would shine with nearly the same brightness as the moon. If there was a brown dwarf out in the solar system, it would have wrecked all the planets long ago and we'd not have any life here on Earth (it would be a pile of rubble.)

So you're claiming that people created the alphabet with a numeric code and then named things to mark the approximate arrival of a meteor... something that nobody knew about until fairly recently?

Really?

And "Nibiru" is an Anglicized/phoenetic/best guess spelling of the name. It doesn't quite match the cuneiform.
