Is this fairdink and a proposes theory entertained by a few significant others?

Documentary The Universe Nemesis The Sun’s Evil Twin

Frankly, the opening minutes scream “woo woo” at me. I don’t think I could handle 44 minutes of it.

i haven’t watched the vid but i have heard this put forth before. don’t believe there is any evidence for a unseen star nearby atm. i think it is one of those “theories” that is a bit woo but might be true with a bit more observation and the discovery that the planets orbits are perturb by this star.

this shows the current techniques for observing and it doesn’t look good. it could be a passing star and so a one off effect.

I will summarise what I have listened to so far.

Allegedly there has been evidence of extinctions on earth on large scales and at intervals of 26 mil years inclusive of the dinosaurs.

So they thought there might be an event thats orbit changes the gravtitional fields of a known cold cloud of comets paving the way for impacts literally on earth causing the events as noted for the dinosaurs.

So they thought there might be an event that changes orbits of comets and affects the gravitational fields of a known cold cloud of comets (this pertains to our solar system) and paving the way for impacts literally on earth causing the events as noted for the dinosaurs

thks.

I will have a read…

and Geoff they are alleging an orbiting red dwarf could be easily missed when viewing space as the colours make them stealth like around our sun apparently.

He also said, that if the red dwarf moves with us (our solar system) then we wouldn’t note a difference through pure observation initially as this aides the difficulty in detection.

Oh my, Wookie Endorsed then?

Seems to me that if it affects us only every 26 million years, that’s a pretty weird orbit for a binary star system.

what if its aliens that return to earth every 26 million years?

there is something else observable that does something weird and they’re yet to work our what external forces or whatever set that in play too.

You had too much acid in the 60’s didn’t you?

OMG

its the fire department doing this to the earth

I don’t know why everyone gets so excited by the whole planetary extinction comet/ meteor thing

I’ve already told people here how you deflect them

Gold, after a few beers anyway.

no

you’ll find that they seem to moving gradually to what I have proposed well before oxford university has almost stumbled upon but decided to do it the complicated way

you make big mirrors put them up in orbit and then focus sunlight on anything coming towards us

the light falling on the rock/ ice is affected by the sunlight falling on it, heating it unequally, it expels some matter away from the asteroid which then affects its trajectory

they’ll get the idea a few years from now so its just a matter of waiting for that point, in the meantime you heard it here from wookiemeister.
