Why do you beleive they should've been found sooner? Pluto is so small that its not even considered a full planet anymore, so why should it've been
found earlier?

(there is more to be found according to some btw)?

I think you are thinking of planetoids, not planets.

Why do humans not know what really causes sun spots?

Why should we?

I could go on but the reality is that we don't have the tech to do a lot of things and that is why we are ignorant.

So what you are saying is that there is an undetectable force hitting the solar system out there, but it causes atmosphere's to heat up?
If it causes solar systems to heat up, if it reacts with atmosphere's, then we'd be able to detect it.
And, again, why aren't all the planets and bodies heating up????

spartannic
but from what i heard there are particles who don't react with matter

Then how do they heat planets???

Second if u would look somewhat around the web u will find some evidence that the whole solar system is warming !!

There is no such evidence. There was even a big thread on ATS about it, the whole solar system isn't warming. Earth is warming, mars is warming, and
some other planets with atmosphere's are warming, but not all of them, and not everything in the solar system.
If a few parts of a system are warming, but not the rest, then it'd make sense to look at whats going on on those parts, to explain the warming.
well lets say then it don't reacts with matter on a atomic scale maybe it does on a subatomic scale!

Then why can't it be detected?
If it hits a planet and it warms it,
that is a type detection.

i don't know its a theory not a proven fact !! and tell me do u have the answer why there are some particles who are still theoritical who
don't react with matter?

lets stick to global warming and so called solar system warming.
Science doesn't explain everything. That doesn't mean that we can posit just anything to explain something,
especially when there are other
better known explanations of it. Well, we of course can hypothesise and speculate, there's no reason to restrict that. But it doesn't seem
reasonable to say that there is an unknown force radiating throughout the solar system acting on unknown 'things' causing warming on some planets.
Is it possible? Sure, but do we have information to actively support that assertion? No.
