NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer completed its 1.25-year mission in February 2011, having discovered a number of brown dwarfs within 20 light-years. Again, none of these were located near the solar system.
The lack of discovery of a viable candidate by these two sensitive instruments led many scientists to conclude that the sun is a single star and does not have a companion.
(T)he Sun is not part of a binary star system. There has never been any evidence to suggest a companion. The idea has been disproved by several infrared sky surveys, most recently the WISE mission. If there were a brown dwarf companion, these sensitive infrared telescopes would have detected it.

Far as I can tell, this guy is talking about some "black star" that's in a companion orbit with our Sun, which is somehow triggering quakes.
But....

Now, a companion may be out there and not discovered yet.... But I'll stick with science over Youtube predictions.

If folks would just base their predictions on the facts they have or trends they're seeing, I would pay much more attention. But when they say it came to them in a dream or blame it on a astronomical body that hasn't even been proven to exist, well...................
