Largest planet in the solar system could be about to be discovered

Also, no. The universe is not 98% hydrogen. There's a lot of helium thrown in as well. And, if you're counting everything in the universe, the universe is mostly dark matter and dark energy.

But 90% of dark matter is giant space tentacle monsters. Fortunately, the giant space worms that burrow wormholes keep them in check.

It's the same reason the Oort cloud is also a hypothesis really, we have never seen it, since objects there are just too small to reflect enough light to be detectable form here.

This must be some version of M-theory I'm not familiar with.

[DaShi]

Open you mind, but not too much. The giant space tentacle monsters are attracted to the sight of exposed brain tissue.

[Provost Harrison]

It's the zombies I am most worried about

[DaShi]

Zombies are really just harvesters for the giant space tentacle monsters. But true, you should worry, the presence of zombies means that giant invasive tentacles are not far behind.

[Provost Harrison]

I hear the prospect of a giant space tentacle invasion makes the Japanese very horny...

i believe dashi already has something in production about that very topic...

Doc,

Planets are like a mirror. They reflect light from the Sun. Jupiter is 5 AUs away. Tyche would be 30k AUs. If Tyche is presumably 4x as bright as Jupiter, then it would appear to be around 21th magnitude at Perihelion.

[Agent Sox]

More crazy theories, haha. This would be pretty cool if true. But the problem right now is there's too much noise in the data.

You mean 4x as reflective, correct?

They don't sell as well as one might think.

He and Prof Matese first suggested Tyche existed because of the angle comets were arriving, with a fifth of the expected number since 1898 entering higher than expected.

Bingo! If there is another planet out there it would be related in some way to comets (and maybe asteroids). But according to Sitchin's theory of an invading "12th" planet, its not that big, just more dense than gas giants. About 4 billion years ago our solar system was invaded by remnants of a nearby supernova, perhaps the same supernova that caused our nebula to collapse inward triggering our Sun. The shockwave preceded debris laced with heavy elements by a few hundred million years, and this "planet" struck the proto-Earth at the asteroid belt. The asteroids and comets are remnants of these collisions, so is the Earth. The Moon was present for the celestial "battle" as evidenced by the "man on the moon" - the side facing us now was the side facing the Earth when the collision occurred.

It's the same reason the Oort cloud is also a hypothesis really, we have never seen it, since objects there are just too small to reflect enough light to be detectable form here.

yup. and Oort (the astronomer) came up with his theory to explain comets we can see orbiting closer to the Sun - I think its a bogus theory.

[Docfeelgood]

An object that far out would receive extremely little light from the sun, remember, this object is thought to be hundreds of times farther out then anything we've observed before.

True.
