I have heard for many years that there was a possible blackhole that existed near the sun, mainly south of the sun, if looking at the solar system like a compass, looking down, is this true or high probability?

Where did you hear this? I've never head of this...and no, it's not possible, it would have been detected if it was there.

I read it thru many physics articles, articles on the possibilities of a blackhole behind or under the sun that makes certain stars that once charted, just disappeared, so the theoretical explanation was a possible blackhole, but not close enough to affect orbit of the solar system , within our galaxy...I cant remember the sites or information, but I do remember a conversation back about 3 yrs ago I was involved in with a group of people who were talking about this, I want to say lycos.com under space tab, talked about this and it was a big discussion. We dileberated on the issue for hours. But we could never find anything substantiating to support the claim. I was just wandering if there had been anything recent in the last couple of yrs that might have supported a different claim.

I suppose it depends how far 'south' you go. In an infinite universe it's highly likely that there will be many of them on this line.

I think we would of seen the sun go first, or at least plug the hole so to speak.

It wouldn't be possible. Even though it might be completely black/didn't emit any radiation gravity of object more massive than sun would cause huge disturbances to orbits of planets.

I saw her play in Regina, Sask Canada at the STATE. She didn't know too much about black holes. In fact she didn't really seem that impressed when I tried to talk to her after the show but then I was pretty wasted.

soooooooooooooo one question. why havent we been sucked up ? oh im good

blackholes don't suck you up.

It could be that the current orbits are caused by the black hole.

Really? Why do you think they call them blackholes?

Astrophysicists are still finding out a lot of information about blackholes that was unknown several years ago.

For instance, when the gravitational pull of a black hole starts pulling in matter, this matter may revolve around the blackhole almost indefinitely, gradually increasing in speed to near the speed of light until all the sub-atomic componemts that make up matter has been shredded into quarks.

When these quarks finally become part of the accretion disk, they'll act more or less like a liquid. Black holes are really disks that rotate at near-light speeds and matter at the north and south poles are being jettisoned into space at speeds approaching lightspeed!

EDIT: Geophysicists are speculating that at the very center of the Earth and other planets may have densities approaching that of black holes. It doesn't "suck" everything in but keeps everything together.

Also, Neptune has orbital deviations that is caused by something a lot more massive that what Pluto is.

This is the reason for the search for Planet-X (10). Some theorize a brown dwarf circling the Sun and others theorize a planet that is more massive than Jupiter but can't reflect any of the Sun's light, therefore being difficult to spot.

What does this sound like to you. BTW, it's my seculation that a blackhole with the mass of Jupiter would be about 1' (one foot) in diameter, given that the mass of the Earth can be squeezed into a quarter dollar coin (U.S.).

if it were their we would all be sucked into it buy now unless it just formed

Wrong, blackhole doesn't have bigger gravity than mass which formed it.
So there simply can't be mass from what it could form.
(or gravity of that mass would show)

oh okay thats something i didnt know before

yes, only tree days ride to the south, lol
I don't think so, we wouldn't be here if it was anywhere near

with not sucking up i ment that they suck in the literal sense. It just oulls you with its gravity. A black hole could still exist here. The current orbits can be the result of it.

How many times it has to be repeated?
Orbits of planets are "fully compliant" with results from calculations with sun as only dominating/major source of gravity. There can't be any other big mass than sun in solar system (/near it) or otherwise orbits would go totally haywire.
And just in case if you try this one next... neither there can be one in(side) sun, although there wouldn't be any difference in gravity planets of our solar system would be fried or more likely vaporized by intense radiation of its accretion disk.
