They say the Sun could still have a twin.. just smaller etc.
But that they need to scan the outer reaches of the solar system more..
This does leave for it to be related to the 9th planet "discovery"
I think the Nibiru believers are about as scientific as Scientologists.
Get to an eMeter and get your Thetan count checked ASAP people !
Some speculated long ago Sirius the North Star was our binary
and they tried to explain it by saying our procession was proof.
I dunno bout that but it's an interesting idea.
Because that guy is right Stars are often binary pairs.
Anyway on topic.. i found the story interesting and i read many peoples comments on it too.
I was surprised to see people had many of the same ideas i had to explain dark matter / energy.
Sadly i have a child's math level so i can barley follow the stuff LOL
But this news story is saying pretty much what i have been thinking and mentioned before online.
I actually had a chat about this issue with some of the scientists who are friends with the ones on TV
..over on IMDB forums.
I said i've seen millions of science shows and when it comes to Black Holes they just repeat the same cliche'd stuff.
I said but uhhh where the hell did the Black Holes come from that are in the center of Galaxies then ?
I pointed out how all the shows were avoiding that issue.
Later they aired the next show and it was about what i said LOL
FINALLY they went into the science behind it.
I said if a planet has to collapse to create a black hole then holy cow how big were those planets that made the inner galaxy super massive black holes ?
We "believe" there is an upper limit of how big a Star can theoretically get
And these super massive black holes would far exceed any we know as possible.
Of course everyone has considered that they were Black-Hole mergers that made them larger
But i don't think that add's up !
I also don't think the math was done right and i posted an explanation about this before here.
For Dark Energy where i said Dark Matter was probably a by product relation to Black Holes.
So it's nice to see the Pro's out there are actually on the same page as me with this.
I agree with the guy in the Story.. they discounted the MACHO's too soon.
I have always been skeptical of WIMP's
I also don't think a Graviton will ever be found and hence making it NOT a fundamental force.
Like we always believe it was for ages.
The story mentioned the discovery of Gravity waves too !
The knowledge is fluid and we need to be open minded and re-check the math occasionally
But hey dig into the comments on this page..
