That's ridiculous on a couple levels. First clarify, no just say what this Big Red is. If it is what I think you are referring to that is impossible
for us not to have detected it. Second the earth's rotation cannot be stopped by another celestial object and more ridiculously if it could it could
not be restarted (either way it can't happen in a relatively short period of time as you suggest). Now go read a real science book and get educated.
Really? I seem to recall a rather large object slamming into the sun at an incredible velocity and the only satellit ewe had that picked it up was a
military satellite that just happened to be pointed in that direction. Despite what you might think we cannot see everything out there. I know you
might think our technology is godly but nothing is that damned great and perfect. NASA has detected rather large planet sized bodies out passed pluto,
its a fact.
I will also thank you to get rid of the condescending tone, you don't know everything son. Have you ever seen an object 4 times the size of the
Earth come so close that it filled up the sky? The ancients did, in fact the sumerians recorded the event. Do you think that an object that large and
that close would have no effect on a smaller body of smaller mass? You don't know alot about physics do you? Basic rule of physics: an object at
rest, remains at rest, unless enacted upon by an outside force. An object in motion, remains in motion, unless enacted upon by an outside force. Do
you think an object 4 times the size of the earth that is that close would have no effect on the earth? Well it disturbed the sumerians enough to
write about it, and the babylonians. What else could have caused the earth to stop rotating for 3 days in order for Joshua to win the battle against
the canaanites? Oh thats right i cited the bible that is a history book chronicaling the history of the jews. News flash, the ancients recorded events
that they thought were of such a significant importance and passed them down thorough the generations so that we would know what happened.
