I'm not up to scratch on my astronomy but wouldn't it be easier to find dwarf stars that are part of a binary system than founding our own if we had one?
Find a star, look in it's general direction for it's partner. The partner isn't going to be on the other side of the universe, or it wouldn't be binary.
We've got a full 360° to look at, yes gravity could give subtle clues and such but you're still looking for a needle in a haystack.
As I see it, we can't use the rule of thumb approach to astronomy, our books constantly change as our perception improves.
Rogue planets and failed stars are apparently a reality. Would our solar system being a binary one not be possible?
We'll keep detecting new things, new phenomena. Brown stars were only a theory 50 or so years ago.

We detected lots of solitary brown dwarfs. The Sun's companion would have to be very close to us, within approximately 1 to 1.5 light years if it were to be gravitationally bound to the Sun. Being that close, it would have been visible in infrared telescopes, and affecting our system gravitationally. None of that has been observed. It's like being able to see elephants from miles away, but not seeing one across the street.
People really need to get out of that "most stars are binary, therefore it's likely that our Sun has a companion" mindset, it's really not doing anyone any favours. There are lots of solitary stars, and our Sun is one of them.

So many threads on Nibiru but one thing for sure we are getting more and more sophisticated with our Tech to find such a star. If there is a brown dwarf TPTB already know about it and are planning accordingly.

One post it took to see "Clinton/Trump " mentioned.
I remember when ATS was a conspiracy website and not a political pissing contest.
