Edit add: more specifically, The watershed in this process is generally taken to be the formation of the first Grand Lodge in London in 1717.

Pikes reputation is unprecedented. He was a venerated Freemason. I’d believe what he says over what current mason practices are. This is 150 years ago.

Sirius B is approximately 8.6 light years away. Basically making it impossible for it to be any form of binary with Sol.
Why there are examples of binary stars at interstellar distances. WHy cant ours be one?

ETA - a star as massive as Sirius B comes anywhere CLOSE to this solar system and it ends there.
Im still trying to figure out how our solar system still has planets after Sirius sweeps through.
I need the math on that.
Sirius is not mentioned, the Blazing Star is simply explained, this isn't up for debate.

Not 8.6 light years between them

If the companion acted like a planet orbiting our sun, and the orbit periodicity was close to the precession periodicity, then standard calculations would put our binary counterpart somewhere between 848.5 AU and 1515 AU depending on its mass and eccentricity. For detailed calculations under this scenario, please download the PDF Document below.
While the solar system speed is difficult to measure (the question is always “compared to what?”), astrophysicist Reg Cahill of Australia has suggested that the solar system is moving in excess of 430km/s, relative to the cosmic microwave background (CMB), and this opens the possibility that our solar system might be orbiting anyone of a number of local stars, but more than likely one of the larger masses that lies not too far inclined to the plane of the solar system. Such a scenario might seem improbable given our current understanding of gravity and visible star distances, however there are compelling theories, such as MOND theory, and there is unusual evidentiary information, such as the data from Voyager 1 and 2 or the anomalous acceleration of the Pioneer 10 and 11 spacecraft that make this scenario attractive to investigation

That's nice. Pretty much every Scottish Rite Degree he authored has be changed wholesale since his time, those degrees evolve with the times to incorporate contemporaneous teaching examples.
Look , you have to have a strong enough gravitational force to keep objects orbiting each other . The above makes y9our entire thread supposition false. It is SCIENCE and MATH Now , use your reasoning skills.
This is the elephant in the room no one is speaking of. Everyone just blissfully ignoring this fact that destroys the entire premise.... *sigh Embracing ignorance..
There has been a great observational study done recently by Hernandez et al. (see: arxiv.org...). They have looked at wide binary stars and found that when they are separated by 7000AU or more, so that their accelerations decrease below 2*10^-10 m/s^2, then their behaviour becomes non-Newtonian, in that their orbital speeds are so large that the centrifugal (inertial) forces separating them should be greater than the gravitational pull inwards from the mass that we can see, so they should zoom off to infinity. A similar behaviour is seen in galaxy rotation curves, which deviate from Newtonian behaviour below this same acceleration

Ok imagine three suns within a light year (one of which is a white dwarf and the other much larger than your sun and tell me thats not going to have an effect.
There is evidence this has happened before.
Ie the earth cycles
the sheer edge to our solar system
the declination of the out planets
the strange orbit of sedna
i could go on :-)

1 Overview One of the exercises herein was to show that a moving solar system model, without any local dynamical inputs, was able to predict the annual rate of change in the precession observable better than Simon Newcomb’s model over

The shark is 350 million years old and never evolved.
There are very many species of shark. All have undergone evolution.

Many have questioned why the great year was so important to the ancients. They used the great year to measure a great event and they knew that the destiny of man was controlled by the stars and one star in particular. Sirius the Dog Star. Both the dog star and the great year follow the same orbit 24k years. This is the real reason for the earth wobble.
In ancient cultures with no apparent connection have universally associated the blazing Sirius with either a wolf or a dog. In ancient China, the star was identified as a heavenly wolf. In ancient Chaldea (present day Iraq) the star was known as the "Dog Star that Leads". In Assyria and Akkadia, it was said to be the "Dog of the Sun”. Several indigenous tribes of North America referred to the star in canine terms: the Seri and Tohono O’odham tribes of the southwest describe the Sirius as a “dog that follows mountain sheep”, while the Cherokee paired Sirius with Antares as a dog-star guardian of the “Path of Souls”. The Skidi tribe of Nebraska knew it as the “Wolf Star”, while further north, the Alaskan Inuit of the Bering Strait called it “Moon Dog”.
