"all these worlds are yours, except io" or something?
as a sci-fi writer and scientist, i doubt he would make such a blatant "mistake".
besides, if it went up on the far side of the sun, the sun would protect us somewhat.
we probably would still know if it did tho.

Totaly agree here..
It has not happend and WILL never happen its a gas giant!! it has NOTHING on the sun
yes its BIG, But its not a sun nore shall it ever BE a sun..
And just to note as i did befor in agreement with IR
if and i do mean IF that thing turned into a sun - it would be TINY becouse of its mass.. and it would fade out like a little wimper.. its got NO fusiion that keeps it going in order to become a sun or sustain it as a sun.. and IF once again it DID or has the total Gravity of jupiter would change "hence" we would be toast .... no matter how one looks at it
If jupiter turned into something other that what it is.. we are TOAST

Don't you think if Jupiter was able to burn, it would have possibly ignited when the Schumacher Levy comet smashed into it creating massive explosions across its surface a few years back?
