In this episode of Beyond Belief, viewers are taken on a wild ride through the world of conspiracy theories and unexplained phenomena. The episode, titled "The Return of Planet X with Marshall Masters," features expert Marshall Masters detailing the theory that a mysterious planet known as Planet X could potentially be on a collision course with Earth.
The episode starts with Masters explaining the origins of the Planet X theory, which dates back to ancient times when civilizations such as the Sumerians and Babylonians believed in a "ninth planet" that orbited the sun. Masters goes on to explain how, in recent decades, amateur astronomers and conspiracy theorists have seized on the idea that there exists an undiscovered planet in our solar system that could pose a significant threat to life on Earth.
Masters and host Jonathan Frakes dive into the specifics of the theory, which posits that Planet X (also known as Nibiru) may be a massive, undetected planet that orbits the sun once every 3,600 years and is on a collision course with Earth. According to Masters, this collision could potentially cause widespread devastation and wipe out most life on our planet.
The episode features interviews with various experts and eyewitnesses who claim to have seen evidence of Planet X, including mysterious objects in the sky and changes in the solar system's gravitational forces. The team also examines alleged ancient texts and artifacts that supposedly refer to the existence of Planet X and the catastrophic events it could bring.
With colorful animations and simulations, Masters breaks down the mechanics of how a planet like Planet X could affect Earth's orbit and gravitational forces. He explains how the planet's massive size and trajectory could potentially pull Earth out of its orbit and lead to a range of cataclysmic events, from massive tsunamis to volcanic eruptions.
Despite the gravity of the topic, the episode maintains a light-hearted tone throughout, thanks to Frakes' affable hosting style and a playful sense of humor. The team behind Beyond Belief manages to strike a balance between sensationalism and scientific fact, presenting the Planet X theory in a way that is both accessible and thought-provoking.
