I believe you are referring to someone else and not me.
At least I hope you are since I'm one of those staunch skeptics that was busy debunking all those Nibiru threads......
Yes Erik I was referring to Tau Ceti Fifteen or whatever his name was.. Did i hit the wrong post to respond to? If so I'm so sorry I didn't mean to drag you into that Forgive me?

Obviously this didn't happen but its not the first time I've heard of the whole three days of darkness thing. My question is this where's the sun supposed to go for three days?

I have no idea dude, Maybe there will be an alignment where the inner planets follow earths path and block it momentarily ? I have no idea tho if all the planets spin around the sun in the same direction or not tho. Clock wise and counter clockwise.

I'm afraid not.
When you have time Google "Venus Transit" and look for images. Then Also Google "Mercury Transit" and look for images.
As you can see, when Mercury or Venus is in between us and the sun, they are a mere dot. Even if both lined up at once, it would be a very small looking dot that you'd need a telescope or binoculars to see.
The only celestial body that we have that covers the sun up on a regular basis is our moon when it does a total eclipse.
But even then, it will only do that for a small section of the day side part of the earth, not the whole day side. And it will only be that way for a few minutes.
Also, all the planets orbit the sun in the same direction. If you are looking down on the solar system at the sun's north pole, they would all appear to be orbiting counter clockwise..
Scientists believe they may have found a new planet in the far reaches of the solar system, up to four times the mass of Jupiter. Its orbit would be thousands of times further from the Sun than the Earth's - which could explain why it has so far remained undiscovered. Data which could prove the existence of Tyche, a gas giant in the outer Oort Cloud, is set to be released later this year - although some believe proof has already been garnered by Nasa with its pace telescope, Wise, and is waiting to be pored over.

Well what about that huge gas planet on the other side of the sun? What if that thing catches up and blocks it out? That thing is massive named Tyche.
ts orbit would be thousands of times further from the Sun than the Earth's - which could explain why it has so far remained undiscovered.
No.
Would this thing cut in front of Mars and jupiter?
There is no missing planet.
This extra planet might account for the * missing* planet.

Don't you actually read what you post? Tyche is a hypothetical planet which, if it exists, would never pass between the Earth and the Sun. If it exists (doubtful) it lies far beyond the orbit of Neptune.

Maybe you can explain how a planet at a distance of 15,000 AU could pass between the Sun and the Earth then.

No.
If such a massive object entered the inner solar system on a regular basis it would hopelessly disrupt the orbits of the other planets.

Well if it had an orbit like a comet. The planet itself is pretty massive and pluto is pretty small. So would it not be possible for the return trip to come close and sling shot back out?
hypothetically speaking if its real. Lol.edit on 23-3-2013 by CrypticSouthpaw because: (no reason given)
