A gravity well or gravitational well is a conceptual model of the gravitational field surrounding a body in space. The more massive the body the deeper and more extensive the gravity well associated with it. The Sun has a far-reaching and deep gravity well. Asteroids and small moons have much shallower gravity wells. Anything on the surface of a planet or moon is considered to be at the bottom of the gravity well.

Well I've read some very interesting information on what would occur if something was incoming. When it comes in any way past the sun. It is a while back and cant remember the links, and don't want to even.
I really think we need to be positive and yet prepared just because its always the right thing to do, not specifically related to the dates now.
What I actually read was this, that it would lock onto one of the poles or a region of earth, and we would be inverted, not a good process.
Surely, there would be more signs than just earthquakes and flares however.
My theory is that, they chose special days, allign them with numbers and the revelations and take advantage of any planetary lineups and/or cme/flares, and use Scalar Weapons.

The biggest issue is the lack of the large body rather than the gravity hole I hope for once they are wrong as I get paid on the 22nd and have a cracking night out planned on the 23rd

I hear you but there is a somewhere but I don't know where it is thingy that states:
If all the matter in the universe were to suddenly disappear and only two atoms remain separated by the void of the entire universe, gravity would still link them, causing them to slooooowly move towards each other faster and faster until they either collide or swing around for another pass. So gravity is limitless in its reach and "connects" everything.
Jupiter's mass is 2.5 times that of all the other planets in our Solar System combined—this is so massive that its barycenter with the Sun lies above the Sun's surface at 1.068 solar radii from the Sun's center. Although this planet dwarfs the Earth with a diameter 11 times as great, it is considerably less dense. Jupiter's volume is that of about 1,321 Earths, yet the planet is only 318 times as massive.[5][21] Jupiter's radius is about 1/10 the radius of the Sun,[22] and its mass is 0.001 times the mass of the Sun, so the density of the two bodies is similar.[23] A "Jupiter mass" (MJ or MJup) is often used as a unit to describe masses of other objects, particularly extrasolar planets and brown dwarfs.

How come no one is asking the question about the " incoming heavy object " ?
That seems to worry me more than the earthquake's...... =s
That is very interesting. But isn't it because they'd drift until they happen to reach the others 'gravity well'?
I have a hard time believing a big mystery planet is tethered to the sun.
