Mysterious so-called Planet X has divided opinion between doomsday theorists and scientists for years.
Known as the Nibiru cataclysm, some predict an end of days scenario in which a large mysterious planet comes crashing into the Earth.
But although many doubt the wandering ninth planet even exists, one physicist has said that it smashing into the Earth can’t be entirely ruled out.
It was first proposed in 1995 to happen at some point in the early 21st century.
Scientists are generally uniform in their conclusion that no such disastrous encounter will occur – with those including Neil deGrasse Tyson rejecting the existence of Planet X.
But one physicist previously conceded that there was a “small” chance that it could happen.
Also known as Planet Nine, Nibiru is said to be mentioned on ancient Sumerian clay tablets.
