The Nibiru Mistake

@chinhhhhh - I think you've simply misread what I've wrote. Eris is a *dwarf* planet whose orbit doesn't enter the *inner solar System*. Even so it still only has a orbit of 557 years. Look at a picture of its orbital path and imagine how much more extreme it would need to be to -
1. have an orbit or 3600 years
2. have an orbital path so narrow it passes near the Earth (without plummeting into the Sun).
3. Doesn't wreck the entire Solar system, as Nibiru would do (if it was real).

@frostek 2003 UB313 is 3 times further than Pluto bigger than pluto and has a 45 degree angel of orbit. Someone needs to keep up with the times this was discovered in 2008.

Sedna is very interesting the last time it came through was at the beginning of the Holocene and the end of the Ice age. Its orbit is at an angle of approx. 45deg. relative to the ecliptic plane. The very educated and smart dudes that found it theorize that it was scattered by a solar mass object moving perpendicular to the ecliptic plane. With all of the tectonic activity, extreme solar weather, and 2012 hysteria going on currently a harbinger like Sedna makes you stop and think.

Here is information on Sedna.

@frostek Humans are biased, it's in their make up, it probably is inherent in earth's survival mechanisms. Unfortunately, science is biased. You might think that science is 'pure', but there are many examples of scholars with alternative viewpoints who are forced out of the 'good ol boys club'. You might say it's because they are whacko and don't have evidence for their claims, but you only say that because you are biased. 'Ancient knowledge fruitcakes' is a good example of bias.

@frostek If you believe there is evidence for a binary system, then that is what your main focus would be. Once you feel certain that you have enough evidence in support of a binary system, then you could look for evidence against it, however, science normally has 'sides to a debate', so you don't normally have to take on both sides. When you talk about unbiased science, you're dreaming, there is no such thing, that is a text book fantasy that doesn't exist in the real world. You are biased.

@somethingcomes - Having examined The Binary Research Institute's website it seems that they are solely occupied with proving that our Solar system *is* a binary system. For example, where are their posted articles indicating that the Solar System isn't a binary system?
I'm not convinced that they are entirely unbiased in this area. All of the articles seem to be by one man - Walter Cruttenden. Googling his name reveals he's one of those "ancient knowledge" fruitcakes.
Try again please.

@frostek NEWPORT BEACH, CA (April 24, 2006) - The Binary Research Institute (BRI) has found that orbital characteristics of the recently discovered planetoid, "Sedna", demonstrate the possibility that our sun might be part of a binary star system. A binary star system consists of two stars gravitationally bound orbiting a common center of mass. Once thought to be highly unusual, such systems are now considered to be common in the Milky Way galaxy.

@somethingcomes - I'm sure it would be fairly obvious if we were in a binary star system by now. Do you have any strong astronomical evidence to suggest this is the case?
-
@frostek Whoa wait a minute, that's assuming we aren't in a binary star system. If we're in a binary star system, we could have a planet with that orbit. Great video by the way Walthain.
In 2 years time (in 2012) all shit about Nibiru will be vanished and new shit will start taking place....

Celestial mechanics show that you cannot have a planet with an orbit of that type with a 3600 year duration. It would be so far outside the Solar System that it would be lost in the depths of space.
