I, too, am unconvinced that this is "any more than another set of simulations."
Possible Ninth Planet (NOT Pluto!)

... Ha! What's to get straight, though? I never understood her confusion, there. Maybe it's the accent he's wearing ...
Hang on if it was here all along why hasn't its mass or gravity affected other planets and bodies in the solar system?
It would have been more interesting had it been a very high mass rogue body that say cross paths with Saturn or Jupiter then there's excitement

Isn't this exactly what they're saying? That something is affecting other bodies in the solar system and therefor there must be another planet.
^Yes, exactly. Many of the dwarf planets are grouped together, and apparently that has a very very low chance of happening without another large body acting on them.
It wasn't confusion, she was incredulous. As in, "I can't believe you're suggesting this!"
Precisely. There are some irregularities concerning the orbits of known Kuiper belt objects like Sedna. And these new calculations point to the proposed Planet Nine as the culprit.
This is a theoretical exercise. No "ninth planet" has been images
ALMA recently detected an object called Gna.

I wonder if this could be the same.

Not yet. But based on this evidence, astronomers are now actively looking.
Sure but it is not an easy endeavour.
conspiracy people always have a book to sell
Stick with your regressive politics threads
it's a simulation, showing a significant gravitational effect , it could be some possible other explanation - a space cloud, a mass of asteroids/comets beyond pluto, thre may exist kind of a miniature globular cluster made of planetesimals remember for a long while people believed pluto was the lone object in the outer solar system, decades later they found it had other planetesimal companions and pluto itself had many moons
You can't tell people not to engage in a perfectly valid discussion here.
Considering the content of the quoted comment you were obviously trying to troll me.
Do that again and you will receive a warning. Do not use this thread for some personal feud.
Comments to PM.
Ah, OK . My mistake. I thought they meant it was something but not conclusive.
I got some good science papers on it yesterday
I already sent you a PM
Do not bring your political trolling BS into a science thread, comments to PM
Infraction for trolling. Nobody but you is bringing this into it.
Stop derailing the thread.

Actually I had a serious question. I mused on the thought of a rogue planet careening into our solar system, so what would happen if such a body did this and say hit Saturn, Neptune or Jupiter? If it was of sufficient size to not just bounce off or break up.
Theia impact may have already happened

I have sent you many PMs already, and you have messaged me
why are you doing this in public??? like an emotional woman or like kid having a temper tantrum
please stop derailing the thread
What are we talking here? Large enough to affect the orbit?
