u’re right, Phage. Everything has a mundane explanation! Bright twinkly stars, in the night sky.... is the WHOLE reason the ancients, all over the separated planet — venerated the cosmos. Ummm okay.
Yes and they liked to build pryamids all over the earth and line them up with true north. The liked to worship the same Gods and gave the same names and attributes to the 7 visible planets and stars. They all said that spirtual teachers came down from the heavens and parted on us knowledge, spirtuality, mathematics etc...
but as some of historians like to think maybe they made this # up just to troll us.

Purplemer is in no way making things up at all. If you could be bothered to go and do some research then you would find much truth in what's been said.
How do you 'research' a star 7+ lightyears from here being in a binary system with our own when it isn't? Please, oh wise one, tells us all how this works.
You want to believe that then knock yourself out.

I hear the fear (truth not yet EVEN SPOKEN!) in your thoughts and also those that 'starred' your post.
Ohhhh, you got me. The secret Masonic teachings are that not only is our sun part of a binary system with Sirius, BUT, here's the bigger news, you can actually go swimming 29 minutes after you eat.

Guess how you prove things exist for the first time?
We’ve been taught about ‘outer space’, ‘planets’, ‘the universe’, etc…but have you ever been to another planet or verified any of this for yourself? I haven’t.
But what are ‘facts’, really? Aren’t facts just a collection of information that we choose to believe as true? Think about all the facts that you accept as truth that you have never physically verified for yourself.
phenomenon (n.) 1570s, "fact, occurrence," from Late Latin phænomenon, from Greek phainomenon "that which appears or is seen," noun use of neuter present participle of phainesthai "to appear," passive of phainein "bring to light, cause to appear, show" (from PIE root *bha- (1) "to shine"). Meaning "extraordinary occurrence" first recorded 1771. Plural is phenomena.
You and I both know that the authority figures on this planet have lied to us and continue to lie. The question is how much have they lied and what have they lied about? IMO, it’s time to take back the trust that we have misplaced in them and reinvest it into ourselves. It’s time to stand up and reclaim our true power over this place
Are you talking about science, or religion?

Indeed,we must research something which may not exist to prove see if it does or not.

There's an argument for all celestial objects being in a cosmic dance, interdependent on their relative motion. All we have is perception, something i personally think could well be flawed and missing huge pieces of the grand scheme. Like a worm without eyes i suspect there are realms outwith our measurement.

Nemesis was tossed out as a possibility quite a while ago. Matese and Whitmire (the guys who hypothesized it) agreed and produced Tyche (taadaa!) as another possibility. Tyche too, is no more, thanks to WISE.
There is a chance that there is a large planet (a superearth) in the far reaches of the Solar System but a star? Nope.
Religion requires no evidence. Only faith.
Faith in claims like the Sun, Earth, and Sirius coming into "alignment." Ever. Faith that a star can orbit another star more than 8 light years distant.
In lieu of something else, it works. But in the case of Sirius, it doesn't seem to be affecting any other stars in the neighborhood. Works on much larger scales.
You must have faith in dark matter then Phage?
Yes, suppose one might say that I believe in gravity. In lieu of any other current options.
Cause without it you're belief system falls apart...
Keep the faith. I'll stick with physics.
I'm sure many parts of the Universe orbit other parts of the Universe in ways we do not yet understand.
Just because we don't know everything, it doesn't mean we don't know anything. But we have the data which says that Sirius is getting closer to us at a rate of about 5 kms. That's far too fast for an orbit. But if your Faith says we circle Sirius once every 24,000 years, so be it. If you think gravity doesn't work the way we think it does so be it. I won't ask for evidence.
We don't yet have the data...
