Interesting Tyche theory but different with the Nemesis theory, as the latter is about a Brown Dwarf object (12 to 75 Jupiter masses) or a Red Dwarf star. Tyche theory speaks about a Jovian mass planet 1 to 4 Jupiter masses.
When PAN-STARRS & LSST become operational, astronomers will find out more and we'll see if the sharp outer edge of the Edgeworth-Kuiper belt (and the inclined orbits of SDOs) can be explained. I believe there's even a theory of a Black Hole in the vicinity of the outer Oort cloud? |

Interesting Tyche theory but different with the Nemesis theory, . . . I believe there's even a theory of a Black Hole in the vicinity of the outer Oort cloud? I think you mean "hypothesis" not "theory" here. From the lack of press releases on the subject from WISE, my own hypothesis is that they didn't find any of these objects within a light year of Sol. --Greg |
