My word!
Are you bereft of comon sense?
Jupiter is far too small to produce the energies required ignite and become a star.
The planet produces its own internal heat, as does the earth. If we take your 'theory' as correct that would suggest that the Earth will explode any
day now, as we see 'signs' of the pending explosion all around us...
Earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and weather storms are all signs that the Earth is under great pressures internally and is about to explode.
Jupiter, if it were to suddenly become a star, producing both light and heat energy in all wavelengths of the EM spectrum (like our sun), would need
to be thousands of times more massive.
Therefore, unless Jupiter is about to be supplied with trillions of tonnes of hydrogen and helium, there will be no second sun in our solar system.
Unless Jupiter is about to crash into a brown dwarf star that we don't know about, there will be no second sun....
Do not even dare to go on with the Nibiru nonesense either. That is a waste of time too...
This is a simple matter of "case closed".
It is bunkum.
