    It's worth mentioning that the red herring regarding Uranus and Neptune was actually the reason we discovered Neptune in the first place: astronomers inferred based on irregularities in Uranus's orbit that an unknown eighth planet was tugging on it, and that's what inspired them to search.

      In fact, when the team that found Neptune finally began their search, based on a mathematical exercise by a scientist who could not convince astronomers in his own country to bother with a search, they found it inside of an hour. It was pretty much EXACTLY where the math guy said it would be.

    The reason why we found exoplanets before Planet X is the detection methods used. We find exoplanets by looking at a star and measuring the light it gives off. If there is a rhythmic dip in light level, there most likely is an exoplanet revolving around that star. We simply cannot do that with Planet X because it revolves around the same star as us

      @Atlantean Trismagistus I mean, it's all pretty obvious when you think about it. Only aliens had the magical powers needed to build the pyramids, for example. Mythological and folkloric accounts of magic make perfect sense if you consider that knowledge of such things were brought to Earth by visitors from other worlds. The reason modern science doesn't accept "magic" to be a real thing is simply because that technology was lost when the aliens left Earth.

      It's a common mistake many people make when doing research or being educated. Assuming what they've been taught is correct. Think of all the time that guy spent trying to prove that planet X existed but not once ever considering the data on the planets orbits, which was the basis of his theory was in fact incorrect. Talk about dropping the ball. Work smarter not necessarily harder kids.

    If you are camping in a mountain and you have a fire, and there are lights in a city nearby, it is easier to see cars in that city with binoculars, than to spot a marble a few hundred meters away from the fire. The problem is that you rely on reflected light., and the car in the distance reflects more light than the marble near you. And on top of that you know the car is passing near a city light because you spotted the light first and the car is around. But with the marble you do not know where to look at.

      If a planet is N times the distance from the sun than earth, it gets N^2 less light than earth. When that light travels back to us, it is N^2 times weaker (approximately), hence it is N^4 times weaker (where 1 is earth radius).

      ​@@mdesnica Yes, but we would not rely on reflected light. We would rely on darkness. The universe is very bright compared to pitch darkness, especially in certain light frequencies. If an unknown planet was close enough to be brighter than the background, then our supercomputers should have spotted it in the data from the millions of images captured by various telescopes over the last 34 years since Hubble.
      If an unknown planet was so far away as to be darker than the background, then our supercomputers should have spotted it in the data in that same timeframe. It would have eventually blocked out light behind it, especially when it moved between us and other stars or galaxies. It would not have blocked out a lot of light, but it would have blocked out enough for a supercomputer to be able to measure the difference. This would be a very small difference, but still measurable.
      The light from the Sun at that distance and returned to us, as you pointed out, would be extremely dim. So, my money is on Planet 9 being darker than background light, not brighter if it exists.
      There is no way that it would not be visible in at least some frequency of light as compared to the background light, either dimmer or brighter.
      They have found 2000 Keiper belt objects in the data. If they can find thousands of tiny asteroids at about 10% to 25% of the same relative distance, they can find a planet.
      For example, FarFarOut, which is mentioned in the video, is 1/4th the distance to Planet 9, but also between 1/64th and 1/127th the diameter (1/63.7 and 1/127.4, but rounded closest). This would mean that Planet 9 would appear in the data to be between 256 (64^2 / 16) and 1,008 (127^2 / 16) times larger than FarFarOut.
      So, it probably doesn't exist or they would have found it in the data and they have looked for it. Granted, that is an extremely large area to search; about 900 billion Planet 9 sized "points" in the sky if one searches everywhere (i.e., complete sphere around the Sun). That is a lot of hay to be searching for a needle in, but supercomputers should manage it, considering the number of asteroids found at close to that range.

      We act like we have great knowledge of this. It is possible that the 9th planet has not made a full rotation and is currently hidden behind the sun. But if this was true, then comets and astroids would be effected as the drew near the sun possibly. ​@darlenesmith5690

      good joke, but let's not forget the fact of passing by planets. Essentially what I mean is the Earthlike mega planet passing by near our solar system in the recent years.

      Nah get outta here with that conspiracy joke the actual scientific answer it is either a Blackhole too close to detect or it's orbit is in a literal Blind spot and it's influenced by something massive outside of the Solar system (Likely a Blackhole) that causes its orbit to Fluctuate wildly. Basically we can't Find it with the methods we use to find closer Planets like Jupiter, Venus, Mars, Saturn, ECT because it is too far and has a funky orbit, and we also cannot detect it with longer range equipment because it's too close to use the methods we use to detect farther solar systems and Galaxies. The reason as to why it's definitely somewhere is due to us being able to detect the Gravitational shifts it causes.

      Its the moon. It literally explains everything.
      Our moons orbit is almost impossible to achieve, let alone tidal locked. We can never see the dark side of the moon from earth. No other moon ever found has an orbit like ours. Almost perfect circle.
      Also no other moon comes CLOSE to ours size relative to their planets. Its 1/4 size of earth.
      The appearance of the moon if it wasnt there before explains the great flood also, since air vapor would drop. No seasons without the moon.
      Every crater no matter how wide doesnt go beyond a certain depth on the moon. NASA also recorded evidence its hollow by literally running stuff into it.

    - 10,000-year elliptical orbit, and how it's gravity is bending the ETNOS's orbits
    - The possible origin of P9 being ejected by Jupiter when it and Saturn flung Neptune and Uranus (and we think P9) out to their current orbits and caused the Late Heavy Bombardment when they crashed into the Kuiper Belt.
    - Orbital "tilt" of the planets to the sun might me caused by P9 over billions of years
    - And the possibility that P9 might actually have been fully ejected and the Kuiper Belt orbits might have been cause as it left the solar system.
