and how is it kool if another solar system combines with our solar system????

that would be big trouble!!!!

this is a good website and you should update it more

i think it is kool

how many solar systems are there??????

Just because you cannot conceive of something that the Sumerian, Akkadian and Nineva civilizations believed in, Does Not Make You Correct in calling it “nonsense,” and Disqualifies you from Being a Scientist. Science is based on Nothing more or Less than “Hypothesis”, which is defined as an “Educated GUESS”. There is NO SUCH THING as FACT in Science, it is ALL a Guess, educated GUESS, yes, but that is Still a Guess, since you CANNOT Disprove it…….A Lack of a planet like Nibiru, from what you or any other Astronomer can see is NOT proof that it does not Exist. It ONLY means you have not seen it.

Science “Facts” change faster than apparently your intellect does.

Now, IF we ever have the technology to Completely Map the Solar System, which we apparently DO NOT, since you are Just now finding this planet, NEAR US (that is LESS than a Light-Year away), and considering how many Planets have been FOUND in Other Solar Systems MANY Light Years Away from here, PROVES that you Cannot Know for Sure that Nibiru does not exist. Yet IF we ever have the Technology to Map the WHOLE Solar Syatem, Then, and ONLY THEN, can you say Nibiru does not exist.

The Sumerians Sure Knew that the Earth Revolved Around the Sun, THOUSANDS of Year Before Galileo. They Even know that we had 9 Planets (and Yes, Pluto IS a Full-Planet, no matter what some committee has decided, Pluto sure doesn’t know the difference).

Now, “I” have just PROVEN how Little you KNOW about Science by the FACT that you have just now found this planet, even though over the past few years Literally Hundreds of Planets More than 10 Light-years away had already been found.

How SAD it is that YOU cannot Conceive that there is More out there, and that you have CLOSED your Intellect to the Possibilities of the Universe.

Save us ALL the Trouble and Leave the Field of Science while you still have Some Shred of Dignity left.

Personally, I DO NOT Believe in Nibiru, but I refuse to denounce it out of hand until it can be Proven one way or the other, and we CANNOT prove it one way or another….YET!!!!

Better than those on Rigesse?

Although I appreciate the fact that you later say that you keep an open mind, this statement hardly sounds like that. So I have to ask you, how can you be getting tired of something that frankly isn’t happening. I’ll tell you what I get tired of… people coming here time and time again and railing about how we speak about ANYTHING being “100% fact” or “absolute truth”. That might be the single most maddening thing I here form the complainers. I hear it all the flippin time and yet having been a loyal reader for many years I can tell you that I have almost NEVER observed that happening.

I’m not going to get into yet another discussion of “Theory vs. Fact”, because it’s been discussed ad nauseum on this site. Please do some reading and research on the difference between the two and the difference between “everyday theory” and “scientific theory”.

Now, to address your point that I quoted above, it’s really NOT *simply* theory and educated guess work. These people have a huge amount of data to draw from, and are really not just simply guessing. It’s not like you’re holding a card behind your back and they are blindly guessing “3 of diamonds”. More accurately, it’s like they watched you discard every other card in the deck, have knowledge of how many cards you started with, and based on that evidence, can guess what card that is despite not *actually* having seen it. It’s logical and educated theories and conclusions based on a preponderance of evidence and observation. It’s not just a shot in the dark. Give the scientists who spend their careers on researching these issues a *bit* more credit than that… please.

Counter rant:
1. I see theories passed off as certainty here (almost any time someone says something flat doesn’t exist, since you can’t really prove that something DOESN’T exist).
2. Those theories change from time to time as we get more data.
3. You open a new pack of standard playing cards, and discard all but one. I know exactly what you are holding, and there is no reason to change my ‘theory.’ While it is not impossible that your deck is a mistake and has two copies of the 3 of diamonds, I would not bet that way. Your analogy implies a certainty that just isn’t there. Find two reputable experts in any scientific field who disagree with each other on a key point. That is plenty of room for doubt. “We all agree that x happened, but we do not agree HOW it happened” is a LOT of room for doubt, especially when each group can ‘prove’ the other group’s version is impossible. This would indicate that we haven’t seen enough of the cards to say it is a 3 of diamonds, though we might be able to say it is a diamond, or even a 3 in some cases.

I also read in a newspaper that one theory for the formation of the moon was that Earth got hit by something about the size of Mars early in its formation (which would mean it and the moon very likely moved together if both theories are correct, and I am not saying they are).

So, a 9th planet (since Pluto got the pink slip) at some monstrous distance may have formed much closer and then moved for whatever reason. If there really were cue balls the size of Mars with the solar system was new, I’d imagine they could move more than an eight ball.

Perhaps the heat from such a collision could be stored in crystals using perpetual motion magnet machines and the people of…Niribu (or whatever that planet is called) are using it to keep their amtosphere from freezing solid. (Note this last paragraph did not receive a full ration of seriousness before being commited to the post)

[[To think our sun does not have an equally sized dark star orbiting it is nuts.]]

Our sun does not have an equally sized dark star orbiting it.

[[ That would mean our galaxy, in the entire universe, is the only one that does not have this feature.]]

You seem to be using “galaxy” to mean “solar system.” The galaxy is the system of several hundred billion stars, in a multi-armed spiral 100,000 light-years across, that our solar system is a part of. And if you mean “solar system,” please note that around a fifth of stars are actually single. Not all stars are binary or multiple.

[[ I believe as we start to journey further past pluto(yes i still consider it a planet. It is the same size as Mercury and that’s still a planet.)]]

Pluto is considerably smaller than Mercury. Mercury is about 0.055 Earth masses, Pluto more like 0.0022.

[[ we will discover our galaxy is much the same as all the others. Has any one ever wondered why near extinction events are nearly a set time apart?]]

Are you referring to Raup and Sepkoski’s 1980s-era theory that there was a 26-million-year periodicity in mass extinctions? I think they’ve kind of dropped pursuing that one; it didn’t work out when they checked.

[[Can any of you smarty pants tell me which lure works best for catching Musky on a sunny day with water temps around 68 degrees ? Hmmmm.]]

Try a hunk of bacon.

I believe the perturbations of Neptune they were trying to solve were subsequently shown to be spurious. I.e., they found Pluto because of bad data.

Makes you think, doesn’t it?
Push the car…
