Discusses precession of the equinox in relation to this theory. QUOTE While the findings in Lost Star are controversial, astronomers now agree that most stars are likely part of a binary or multiple star system. Dr. Richard A. Muller, professor of physics at UC Berkeley and research physicist at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, is an early proponent of a companion star to our sun; he prefers a 26 million year orbit period. Hmmmmm. Sol is a variable star (little factoid dropped into this post). Haven't we all naturally considered Sol as sol-itary? Interesting to think it might actually be a double star.
