Thanks.

I agree with you though, most of everything we know is conjecture or hypothetical. Even scientific fact is only fact because for each experiment carried out, the experiment results either validate or invalidate the hypothesis.

Source 1

This, however, is what makes me believe in pure science more than anything. With pure science just because your hypothesis is proven valid or invalid, this proof does not completely make your hypothesis irrelevant. Your hypothesis can and will be subject to scrutiny as we learn more and more about our environment. Within the confines of pure science, you are better off, if you keep an open mind. As long as you keep an open mind, you find fact's to support theories as opposed to theories to support fact's.

P.S. -- I must also point out, that with the line of reasoning presented here, you don't just pick and choose facts to support your theories. All fact's must support your theory. Of course, something about that sentence of mine is remiss. It just looks funny. Perhaps someone could come along and set me straight.

Even if a companion star had significantly less mass than the Sun the orbits of the planets would be radically different. It would throw off the barycentre (center of mass)of the solar system. Most people assume that the Sun is the barycentre for our solar system, but this isn't true. Due to the mass of Jupiter the barycentre is outside the Sun. So, if there were an object several magnitudes more massive than Jupiter in the solar system it would throw off the barycentre even more. However, we know this is not true because our models for objects such as long-period comets, that use the barycentre, are accurate.

Thanks for that Xcalibur, i didn't know that.

Having thought about it though, and i'm not disputing what you say, but wouldn't a barycentre outside of the sun, cause a wobble in the sun (for want of a better term)?

Yes and that is how large planets in other solar systems are found--looking for the wobble

Justice, I just want to personally thank you brother for being such a reasonable debater and not blindly judging other posters within this thread for their opinions on a subject that so many of us enjoy to discuss. Personally, I just love discussing subjects like this. I have enjoyed alot of what you have had to say my friend. Nothing but respect for you. Your friend ~SheopleNation

Umm, well have any more proof? your explanation is very vague!

i just skimmed over this thread again so i might've missed it...did anybody mention that this object looks like the same object that was blacked out on Google Sky previously???

IRC +10216 or CW Leonis is a well-studied carbon star that is embedded in a thick dust envelope. It was first discovered in 1969 by a group of astronomers led by Eric Becklin, based upon infrared observations made with the 62 inches (1.6 m) Caltech Infrared Telescope at Mount Wilson Observatory. Its energy is emitted mostly at infrared wavelengths. At a wavelength of 5 μm, it was found to have the highest flux of any object outside the Solar System.

There you go.

yeah, i don't really trust all Wikipedia sources...that's an easy out for a lot of peeps on here. look how many times that CW Leonis page has been modified since 2006.

Simply not trusting WikiPedia is a cop-out. Here's a more reliable source:

I know, I know... it's so very very hard to click the references in a Wiki page. Much easier to just hand-wave and say, "It's Wikipedia, therefore... conspiracy!"

All I'm say'in is I heard that on CNN myself. That a brown dwarf star is in our solar system. Dosn't mean I believe it. Mainstream could actually make it less believable.

Now my most pertainent question. What the hell is that lil devil all about?

edit on 25-8-2011 by randyvs because: (no reason given)

This would be news to me, could you please post a link to a video or news source from CNN saying this?

I read the articles a while back but I always take what the MSM says with a grain of salt.

Always a good idea but there is nothing in either of those articles which says anything about a brown dwarf being found in the Solar System.

dude, seriously, i've checked wikipedia for things other than stars and have found false information many times...they could enter data about anything they want on a particular subject, and, 90% of the zombies will believe it all...just because "it says so right here in wikipedia" hahaha!!!

Agreed, which is why I won't link a Wiki page unless there are references and I always check the references when someone else links one.

I wonder about it myself.
Since the sun bobs up and down and passes thru the galactic plane every 26000 yrs and it also moves in and out kind of horizontally seems to suggest that the sun has a local rotation as well as rotation about the black hole at the centre of the galaxy. The local rotation plane is inclined to the galactic plane by a certain amount may be the reason the sun bobs up and down.
Now the local rotation could be a brown drawf companion in a sort of binary star system, or there may be a local black hole about which the sun rotates.Astronomers have not found the reason for the above anamoly or it has not been revealed to the public for some reason.
